Hi Ken, I have access now.

That's great Steve. See how you get on with it.

A MESSAGE FROM TERRY, OUR CLUB'S MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY.

• 11 May at 14:28 · Members of SCUNTHORPE METAL DETECTING SOCIETY

• Please note this advice is only for our members in England, the Channel Islands and anywhere else where their independent government has advised it is safe to exercise unrestricted.

• Sadly the loosening of  guidance on outdoor activities do not include Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. We are sorry that this does not cover everyone - we are just reflecting government policy.

• Following the change to Government guidance for England announced yesterday we are able to change our advice to you. Detecting individually or with household members can again be enjoyed from Wednesday 13th May.

• We are sure you are looking forward to getting out in the fields again.

• Please though remember to continue to follow Government guidance. Travel should still be limited and social distancing rules must be adhered to. We also urge you to take precautions to protect yourself and others and, for example, wear gloves going through gates, etc.

• Also please be respectful of your land owner’s views, and check they are happy for you to continue to detect on their land as their views may have changed over the last three months.

• Sadly this pandemic is still very much a risk to us all and so the Government’s loosening of restrictions on outdoor activities does not allow for club or other group digs. Hopefully, if we all play our part,  infection rates will continue to fall and it will be safe to resume these sometime in the near future.

• We wish you safe and happy hunting.

• Best wishes

• The NCMD
