“Heritage Journal correct” implies PAS. Quietly.

Remember how PAS used to act as if metal detecting rallies weren’t massively damaging and had no place in a civilised country? They even had a guidance note for organisers. You won’t find it now though, they’ve quietly removed it.

Quietly, because it’s beneath their dignity to agree that the Heritage Journal was right all along. Still, embarrassingly for them, we still have it! We won’t reproduce it though as it comprises crawling to money-making yobs but we’re gratified that the relevant section of PAS’s website now says instead: “Metal-detecting rallies: The PAS does not provide advice for metal-detecting rally organisers.”;

Would it be too much to ask that PAS now advises Government NOT to allow rallies to re-start? Ever. Or will it be back to the crawling? We’ll see.
