This events diary is to inform fellow hobbists what is on, one persons idea of a good day out is not the same as anothers and FID will advertise all metal detecting events that we are notified of, this is a free service and does not indicate how well or indeed badly organised any individual event may be on the day! Colin Hanson and other members of the FID committee will try to attend as many rallies and events as where they hope to meet old and new friends by the FID flag.
