The National Council For Metal Detecting is the hobby organisation recognised and consulted by national and local government as The Voice of Responsible Metal Detecting. It consists of a countrywide network of metal detecting clubs, grouped into regional bodies, with local officers and committees elected to protect, promote and encourage the well being of clubs and their individual members. In addition, the regional bodies arrange exhibitions rallies and other social events, provide advice and information, and elect knowledgeable and enthusiastic delegates from their number to represent local interests at the table of the influential National Council Executive Committee.
Associated Membership is a facility provided by the NCMD which allows individual detector users, who are unable or unwilling to join local metal detecting clubs, to benefit from becoming part of the NCMD organisation.
Benefits include representation at council meetings by experienced people with the good of the hobby at the forefront of their consideration, free civil liability insurance cover for £2 million with no excess payable on claims, NCMD membership cards, regular postal newsletters, and official copies of audited accounts so that you can see where your money is being spent. 
The cost? A commitment to the aims and objectives of the NCMD, an agreement to keep its Code of Conduct, an affirmation that you are free from conviction for any offence connected with metal detecting activities, and £6 per NCMD year (1st April - 31st March). There are no signing-on fees and no special terms. There is a facility for whole clubs to enjoy membership of the NCMD via its Central Register.
