Title: FID or NCMD? Post by: betel23 on November 04, 2009, 06:10:47 PM Which one fellas and why?
Regards betel Title: Re: FID or NCMD? Post by: Jonola (Jon) on November 04, 2009, 06:23:30 PM I'd like to know what people think of this as well. I think both need to be brought up to date with a better online presence. Everything seems too archaic at the moment.

Title: Re: FID or NCMD? Post by: Jonola (Jon) on November 04, 2009, 10:18:25 PM I agree that it is a good idea and they both have many good points. However, they both need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. As is proved by this website, many detectorists use computers daily and a website that took payments electronically would surely increase membership. The Post Office strikes only highlight this.

It goes without saying the importance of each body. They don't seem to be using the fees to modernise/update their material or methods of collection or information. betel Title: Re: FID or NCMD?

The least they could do is place themselves on the homepages of detecting websites such as this great one. With there own website linked into this, membership would surely benefit as Jon said with electronic payments are far superior option to our troubled postal system.
