[QUOTE="JCMaloney, post: 2582338, member: 2821"] [USER=50990]@Oxygen[/USER] there are no "easy options" to getting permission barring the Crown Estates beach permit, or a Thames mudlarking permit. The majority of farmers/landowners prefer to see you face to face and make their judgement then. If you think its tough getting permission for yourself then try getting it for a Club. :whistle::) As Nick says above there are so many "groups" out there (especially on FB!!) that are charging people £15+ then giving the farmer/landowner £8-£10 a head. There is no cost involved in setting up a one day dig. So there is a likelihood they are making a profit and destroying any good will once word gets out. If I was a landowner it would be easier to say "No"...no confusion then. However there are still accountable, long established clubs that do things right. We count the members in, tell the landowner on the day and give them the money for their charity or send it to the Club charity and they send a receipt/letter of thanks directly to the landowner.
