Will be great to finally put a few more faces to nicknames! Personally, I like the idea of the 6.30pm start. It gives the option of finishing the meeting at 8.00 and an extra 1/2 hour for the hunt! Us beginners need all the practice and hands-on field advise that we can get. Edited by user Thursday, 26 July 2012 9:58:06 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I look forward to catching up with you all. What I don't look forward to is leaving the hunt empty handed again.

Just wondered, in view of the fact that the night time hunt afterwards produced no real finds of note, whether anybody has any thoughts about trying somewhere else next time? I vote for Jasons secret silver field.
