METAL detector enthusiasts of all levels of ability have been invited to attend a newly formed club this weekend.

The first meeting is being held at the Round House Hub & Café on Walney Island on Sunday (November 26) from 11am to noon.

Poeple will be educated on the importance of obtaining permission from the landowner before using a metal detector on beaches, footpaths, or council-owned land.

A plan will then be put in place for metal-detecting sessions in the future.

Seasoned detectorist Graeme Rushton, who has been a successful metal detector for over 40 years, will be in attendance.

The session is free of charge and will gauge people's interest.
