there MAY be a difference in dates between us and THEM, but we have our minutes of the first meetings, they don't and therefore can't prove when they started

Hmmnn, if you have your birth certificate but your father (named on yours) doesn't hold his ...... Then are you older than him?

BFG - your minutes certainly prove that the society was founded in 1889/90 season -- but the note on the minutes shows that there were other Associations founded even earlier....

We don't know if others had formed associations, or merely operated an informal sytem of some sort. We do know that Somerset formalised the arrangement, just as the RFU formalised rugby football in a way different from previous attempts.

BTW I think it refers to the "North of England".

I also think North of England is the most plausible
