Topic: Find a nature group near you (NHM)

I'm just looking at all the methods available for the public to find natural history interest groups and recording schemes and one of the lists is on the Natural History Museum's website at http://www.nhm.ac.uk/take-part/nature-g … roups/all?
It's not comprehensive as it rather depends upon all the Natural History Societies knowing about it and being bothered to register and add their details - which many don't.
There's an option on there however to "search by interests, activities or location" with a clicky map. If anyone can get that bit working I'd love to know how to do it.

Seems to work okay for me? (if a bit counterintuitively - click on east midlands, click search)

Maybe it's browser related (Firefox) I get the full list no matter what I select.

When you click the map region is the relevant tick-box also activated?

When you subsequently click the Search button does the URL string change to include the search parameters?

Works OK for me in Firefox v.43.
