Title: any club in Aberystwyth area? Post by: fikys on January 09, 2011, 11:47:16 AM Hi,
I'm a new member of this forum. I'm actually new to the UK and Wales as well. After 10 years spent in the USA I moved to Wales and really enjoy here, but still can not understand well how to continue my metal detecting hobby here in the UK... I got permit to detect beaches but I also would like to detect some land and join a club in my area (Aberystwyth). Can anyone tell me if there are any clubs in my area that I could join? I also would enjoy to attend rallies but it seems it is better to join a club first to get some insurance? Thank you! Title: Re: any club in Aberystwyth area?

I want to travel as far as I need to reach a closest club...:)) I did contact Pembrokeshire club and was invited to attend their meeting in February. It is about 2h. drive for me. I still hope to find something closer to my area, if I can....

there is a member of BreconMDC club who travels from Aberystwyth, I travel and maintain a student accomodation house electrically in Aber., if you re unlucky and find yourself behind a lorry might take 1.5hrs - 2 hrs, on a fairly clear road you could make the club driving like a detectorist possessed in an hour ! Pm Stred ( acting vice chairman ) on Dw i am sure he will furnish you with details. (surf around Dw forum should be able to find his details ) Hope you get sorted. ;D Title: Re: any club in Aberystwyth area? Post by: fikys on January 11, 2011, 08:22:49 PM Thank you, outlaw!
I was on a teaching course and could not reply immediately. I will PM Stred about my options.... Title: Re: any club in Aberystwyth area? Post by: bob4shirl on February 02, 2011, 06:57:27 PM I wish there was (Fikys and others Maybe)
