A special script is required based on bookmarks - maybe bmuzzin can have a look at this

I think doing it by bookmark lists is problematic, because it relies on them being updated. It looks like the last list, they're getting close to 15k, and then presumably they'll be another list. It seems like just matching "Church Micro <#>" would be sufficient for identifying them. Somebody could also just delete the list and then the checker is kaput.

I think we could do it by string matching. The problem here is that it would require an exact format of the title. MOST of them seem to follow:
Church Micro <number>...<place> - <church name>.

But, if they don't, then it becomes much more difficult. Example:
Church Micro 13264...Holland-on-Sea St Bartholomew (no dash)
Church Micro 14881 ... Formby, St. Peter's (comma, instead of dash)

Since the requirements are also "in the same town", the matching could take into account some proximity. ie. With Holland-on-Sea - there's few others in that town (Church Micro 13265...Holland-on-Sea - Baptist), and it's close - less than 1km, so it would easy to surmise that those are the same place. I'll see if I can put together some regex matching, which might be sufficient, although I'm thinking it might give some false-negatives (ie. you actually pass, but it says you don't).
