As some may know StuE has been in contact with his MP Sir Bob Russell, subsequently Sir Bob Russell met with the NCMD to gather more evidence & now he appears to have been lucky in the adjournement debate ballot.

Well done Sir Bob, StuE & the NCMD.

Great News, well done Stu and all envolved

I Second that...

Let us not forget all the hard work other members of the forum have been doing too.

A BIG thanks to you all

grate news lets hope it gains plenty of backing in the house of commons, i saw piles of this stuff in some fields the other day just waiting to be dumped on the land

Yes very many have been doing their bit but the most important thing now is to get those photos and locations recorded. Can you get some pictures baza? Might be a bit late for 12th December but it will always come in handy.

Great news well done lads

ile try and get back to the place this week stue but i dont have permission to go on the land but it is in bleeding grate piles on the field next to the road ile see if i can make a few enquires

Well done you guys and for all the other things that being given attention by NCMD that some folks dont seem to want to talk about in public. Jerry.

Could you enlighten us please Jerry?

The new laws and obligations of landowners who have or are signing up to agreements that effect Metal detecting.

Natural England taking over further land using their authority and objectives to reclassify land. etc etc.

EU funding for Natural England to achieve their objectives.

Some early day members who have been participants of this site like myself, warned before what would happen and it has started.

Eventually further information will become public and clubs will have to make decisions with regards the way forward.

At 78, it will not effect me too much but younger detectorists will have restrictions placed on them that my generation did not have to contend with.

Perhaps that will enlighten you Ken. Jerry.

Good man.

I asked a polite question Jerry, why the attitude? I'll even forgive you for getting my name wrong! You may have some valid points that could be discussed on another thread so that this one isn't hijacked.

Sorry I pressed the "n" key instead of the "v".

Must be slipping in my old age.

Please dont be too upset about me adding what a good job NCMD are doing in addition to the "War on Contaminated Green Waste" in the same issue of "Digging Deep", which you will have received a copy as a NCMD member. Jerry.
