Allow metal detecting rallys to go ahead with the social distancing in place
As a club owner I would like you to allow organised digs to go ahead.
Many of our members are ex military and suffer from PTSD, metal detecting plays a huge part in maintaining their mental health.we also have alot of elderly members that have no family or that live alone, sometimes in flats.
As a dedicated club owner, I can absolutely say that metaldetecting is one of the safest sports/ hobbies out there.
Our fields are 50 acres plus, so social distancing is easy.
We can do all the admin, payments, sending of maps etc online.
