There are Dudley Metal detecting club. Just google them and you get their website. Johno runs it. Decent bloke, nice group of members.

They detect privately on the sites before letting club members on. Will delete negative comments off their site.

Hi, my name is Terry and I hope you don?t mind me getting in touch with you, I hope you are still in touch with this site as I noticed that you were interested in joining a metal detecting club in Manchester. I hope you have found one and if you have could you let me know and maybe I could enquire about joining it.
However, if you still have not found one and are still interested in joining one would you be interested in forming one in the Manchester area, there are several people on this site who are looking for the same as you and myself and I am sending the same email to all of them and maybe we could make it happen, what do you think?
This is just an idea from me, I have no idea on how to start or set up a club and was hoping that someone might have some idea/experience about how to go about it, it might be the case of we all muck in!
