New Dowsing Groups - Are you lonesome tonight?
Forming an Affiliated Local Group by Director, John Moss

During the last few months we have had an increasing number of enquiries from members and non members who are seeking local contact with other dowsers. Sadly we have often had to tell enquirers that there is no local group in their area. Read on to find out where new groups are being established.

My first experience of dowsing came in 1997 when I caught sight of an advertisement in my local Parish magazine. A dowser was trying to start a group. At the time I was interested in finding a new hobby to provide a diversion from a stressful and unfulfilling job. It is a strange thought that attending my first meeting and feeling the rods move has led to the Director's chair at BSD!

A short while after the group had been running we made contact with BSD and soon became an Affiliated Group, one of 27 that we now have in the UK. Membership of a Local Group provides an invaluable source of help and support for dowsers

So what does an Affiliated Group mean? At the present time, it means that the Group has the option of adopting our model constitution which provides a useful framework for actually running the group and provides access to our Group Third Party Insurance Policy. Additionally, amongst other benefits,the Group will be able to take advantage of our special offer for website facilities, an essential tool which is very useful in attracting new members. We also ask for confirmation that the group agrees with the Objects of the Society and that members abide by our Code of Ethics.

At the Office we are keen to help and encourage the Groups as much as possible and Council Members regularly visit. We are developing a package of discount offers for equipment.

Groups have their own Forum at Conference which is well attended and produces good ideas for developing Groups and their programmes.

If you are a solitary dowser who would welcome local contact or if you would like to help form a Group, please either contact us or one of the following members, if there is one in your area. It should be stressed that by agreeing to list their names it should not be assumed that they will actually run the new Group. They will simply be acting as a focal point at this stage.
