i have to say we now realise from the comments on the post noted in the title what a good job the organisers of detecting wales do rallies with great regularity and different sites too, i joined because the club im with is very inactive theyve been detecting the same farms for 20 years plus and im yet to see them provide somewhere new to detect on so the club digs for me are irrelevant i only joined for the ncmd card but ill join online now and save a tenner, i think the format of dw is the way to go and clubs would be better run online and then just meetings maybe every quarter, i hope you get the club up and running and succesful just remember the people who run the club must be pro-active or the membership will dwindle after the initial rush,
all i can really say is detecting wales have the perfect model to go by, rallies and club digs plentiful thats what the members want as most of us working dont get the chance to get out much and find new land and go detecting so the guys on here are lifesavers for me personally. It also great to see and meet like minded guys and girls who too enjoy this hobby, problem is i still cant remember all the names just faces must be old age creeping in.
keep up the good work guys!!!

any chance of some 2 day weekend rallies in the summer, tents, beer, and bar b que lovely!!!

Thanks for the comment ajg3151 - glad you are enjoying yourself at Detecting Wales. I agree that online seems to be the way forward, but it would be a real shame to lose some of the long established clubs as a consequence.

The plentiful rallies we hold at DW are down solely to Rob's (TaffLaff} fantastic powers of persuasion when it comes to talking to the farming community. I don't just mean farmers when I say this, I also mean sheep dogs, cows, goats and the occasional duck (who could forget that!}. Long may it continue.

Regarding the two day digs - we have held one every year for the past two years and will be doing so again this year. We already have the ball in motion regarding proposed farms and camp sites. More news to follow in a month or so I would imagine.

cheers
