                                      Wantage rally sept.9th.2012
We set off from Nantgarw at 7.00 am with 22 members on board, after the usual short stop at the services we arrived at the site in plenty of time before the start .The rally was run by the Wantage Round Table and there were three big fields of stubble for us to detect on . A nice touch was them having marshals on each gateway into the fields and manning the crossing points of the busy country lane for our safety . At the sign on area there were refreshments available , toilets and a FLO from the regional museum to log and identify the finds . All in all a very well organised rally .
The area was known for Roman habitation  as a hoard  of coins had been found in an adjacent field . This showed with the amount of Roman coins found by several of our members .......read the full report at    www.raremdclub.co.uk

I also went to this rally and feel we was mislead because it said on the web page that the farmer hadn't let anyone on his land before but speaking to local resident's there had been a rally on there two years previous. I just like to know as i wouldn't have travelled 100 mile plus each way. Enjoyed the day but felt taken for a mug.
