Oh bravo Neil bravo, you must have quite a memory on you to remember all the finer points of this years detecting. Getting burnt to a crisp on the Mad Magpies Rally was memorable (for the wrong reasons) for me. Can’t believe its been three years already though.  Shocked

First DW rally photo which I'm sure those who attended will remember that it was in the Vale. Mostly members of the Cardiff Scan Club, Swansea club et al back then. Shows how much DW has evolved.

An excellent write up as usual, Neil. I think I ought to just point out the excellent job that Neil does as Admin of the site and all the hard work he puts into DW, not to mention the hours of work that go into the rally reports for DW and the DW articles he does for Treasure Hunting magazine.

It would be very hard for us to organise rallies without the land finding and negotiating skills of Rob (Tafflaff). He really has found us some fabulous farms over the last year.

Thanks also to all the moderators who keep the site running smoothly and the rally stewards.

Let's try to make 2012 and even better year for DW than 2011 was.

Cheers all, much appreciated - I'm begining to blush a tad! Wink

Lovely photo Jaydogg - I make it 18 of that photo who are still active DW members today. It was the first time I got to meet my buddy TaffLaff as well - a great rally from Altinkum to get the ball rolling.

Heres the latest group shot.

May there be many more in 2012!

Cheers
Neil

Great read, I have sent it to my family in Australia, showing them what a great bunch of mates I have and what I might find if I'm lucky.
