Apologies- The two day rally is cancelled due to circumstances beyond my understanding.

If you need clarification give me a ring or pm me.

Gutted, never mind there's always a next time

Rob has worked tirelessly over the past 2 days to try and find an alternative farm to hold the 2 day rally on, unfortunately with no luck.

It's basically been out of our control. We had the farm secured for the past two months and they have suddenly just decided no. This is despite a conversation this week on Monday with the farmer, when they were more than happy to be having us. We are unable to offer an explanation for their decision now not to want a rally. It's a real shame and beyond our control. We really don't understand what has happened to change their mind.

Apologies to all members for this bad news, but most of all I feel for Rob after all his hardwork.

Chin up mate - there will be other farms and rallies. You did everything you could.

 Never mind Rob mate, you always do your best and I am sure everyone will agree with me.

Appreciate all your hard work Rob. So sorry after the efforts you've put in.

Thanks for letting us know, I know the Rob and the rest of the DW team would have tried their best, on a positive note, at least I won't have a hangover next Sunday morning. Can't wait for the next one :)

Sorry Taff bad days gutted to hear all your hard work has ended like this but as was said earlier there will be more farmers with more land  see ya at the next one

Sorry to hear this after all the hard work had been put in. Farmers are a fickle breed at the best of times and a law unto themselves. Better luck next time.

oh bollackoes.was looking forward to it , never mind guys sometimes theres no rhyme or reason why ...........

What a let down this must be for all who has put work into arranging this. Just out curiocity, can I ask what the farmer gets out of it beside the fees for camping ? Do we pay them anything for the fields we have access to ?

I think you're asking to become the latest expose' in a forum not far from you with comments like that Goldpanner.   Just sit back and wait and see. ;) ::)

You all do a great job guys on securing rallies, we all appreciate your efforts.

That`s the second rally cancelled in a couple of weeks, Acorn being the other one.Whats going on.????

At least the annual W/W rally is still on. ;)  Jerry.

rob and the boys work hard enough trying to organise these rallies but if the farmer or others put a spoke in the wheel there hands are tied,keep trying rob mate thats all anyone can do,viv

Well Val, that didn't take long. The vexatious blogger [and his uk based poodle], made his regular pilgrimage to the site and yet again manages to use, abuse and twist the sentiment of the writing to suit his own personal agenda.

Vexatious blogger indeed.

Gutted!

Such a shame after all the hard work Rob & Co put into this  :(

??? I take it this rally has been cancelled because of outside interference

I did start a thread after the Acorn rally was cancelled warning everyone that this is going to start happening more often

Think the thread only had around 6 people commenting on the subject

I think  rallies advertised on metal detector forums should only be able to be viewed by members of the forum

Otherwise its going to keep happening over and over again

How would the said blogger even know which farm it was in Somerset lots of farms. Odds of getting the right one must million to one. Surely.

there was more info than just sommerset.it was near ashcott with roman and medieval connections a bit of internet research would have found it easily.
