Would love to be a in a club somewhere Neil and am a ex member of the Hereford club. I felt very uncomfortable within the club and felt a little unsure with some of the members intentions. That is why I feel so honoured by the Detecting Wales members and rallies. A totally different sort of people. The best. Distance is my obstruction in that the nearest clubs mean a round trip of 50 to 60 miles and having to get up each day at 3 in the morning not very viable.

this could be intresting   ;D

Thats what I am thinking Kev.

Really useful information for Geoff and I, so if people wouldn't mind answering the poll it would be appreciated.

It is anonymous if that helps and there will be no come back from the clubs you belong to as after all we are not a club, just a gathering of like minded users of the internet. Simple as that.
