From the South West RL site.

Wyverns confirmed for 2011
WIltshire's second team given the go-ahead for league entry
Wiltshire Wyverns have been accepted into the Rugby League Conference for the 2011 season, after successfully applying to join the RFL's Summer competition.
Wyverns were founded at Corsham RFC by Nick Westaway, a local lad who fell in love with the League game after trying it at University. Supported by the RFL Regional Manager, Joe Catcheside, Westaway found some excellent local support in the form of exiled Warrington fan Paul Turner, and former RAF RL Coach Steve Bowers.
The club opened it's account with a couple of friendlies in 2010, notably a home victory over Wiltshire rivals Swindon St George. Now, the club jas been given the go-ahead to enter the 2011 competition, where it will compete with St George in the newly-formed West of England Division.
Preparations are already under way, with both Turner and Bowers registered to take an advanced RL coaching course before the season starts. But the instigator, Westaway, may not take part in the first league season - he's just taken a job in London, and will find it hard to commute at weekends to the team be created.

According to this, there is a youth team for Stroud (Gloucestershire presumably) planned.

They seem to be doing a local divisions theme this year, though I have no idea what's going on in the South East or North West.
Last I heard West of England was likely to be the 2 Somerset clubs, the 2 Wiltshire clubs, Gloucester and Bristol A but not heard that confirmed. Any idea if Plymouth are still running? Their website's been taken offline and they've been having problems the last 2 years.

Activity on their facebook page seems to be dead as well unfortunately. I suppose with the north devon team the thinking maybe a devon (and possibly cornwall) league which will ofcourse make travelling easier. Would be terrible to have the biggest population centre by far in devon un-represented.

Predictions for the future -
Crusaders RL to get a franchise for 2012 onwards -WRONG
Widnes Vikings also to get a franchise - RIGHT
Crusaders RL to do the double over Widnes and finish five places ahead of them -WRONG
Widnes Vikings NOT to dominate rugby league in years to come! STILL TO COME

I promise to pay �10 to the charity of Bomb Jacks choice if Widnes Millionaires finish above the battling underdogs Crusaders RL. I OWE A TENNER!

Devon and Dorset is my guess though suppose it depends on numbers. Less travelling will be good though

New Division South West Central. is pretty much a cert.
Bristol Sonics 2's; Gloustershire Warriors;Oxford Cavaliers; Swindon St George and Wiltshire Wyverns.
Happy with this, our longest trip is Bristol 40 miles each way.
No more bus trips around the poxy M25.

Article was from July.
Think the Stroud thing has died a death sadly.
For me there needs to be more joined up thinkning to get regular games.
Junior teams in Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud (and a few other places nearby, maybe South Wales) could easily run a league.

With which other teams? Thanks
The full lineup isn't to my knowledge confirmed, but I'm sure Birmingham, Telford and Leamington will all still be there. No idea who if anyone is stepping up or any other teams; I'd like to see Wolverhampton but unaware of their plans

Rumour control, and I stress the word rumour, has it that the 2011 Southern Prem might be down to only 6 teams, with each team playing each other three times, giving a 15 game season. Nothing definite been announced yet, but I have heard this from a few differing sources.
"In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman, and that it is
their duty to snigger at every English institution"
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

Probably for the best given last year?
My guess would be: St Albans, Souths, Wests, Eastern Rhinos, Hammersmith, Hainault
Sounds a good league
Then 2 Regionals of around 6 sides I guess.
I'd guess that they're hoping the bulk of this smaller Premier go into the Southern Conference for 2012 and they can then split the remaining teams into the proposed South East, London and East Premiers from then on.
