Diggers Forum Newsletter

[BAJR]

Please find a copy of the latest Diggers? Forum dispatch attached. There is a sampler available on the Diggers? Forum webpage.

In order to communicate with and help it's members and archaeologists around the country, the IfA Diggers' Forum (DF) has decided to set up its own Facebook page. It can be found at http://www.facebook.com/DiggersForum

We've been trialling the page for a while, and although building the page is obviously a work in progress, we are now ready to officially launch it ready for the IfA Council elections and our upcoming AGM.



By ?liking? the page you will be able to receive regular news updates on DF activities, events, current and ongoing campaigns. The page will support the existing newsletter, which will still feature in-depth coverage of relevant news and articles. The page will also be for you to give feedback to the DF committee and members, as well as for everyone to contribute to discussions and general talk on the above news and events. You can also contribute to the DF by adding links and any relevant information that can help us all out, be that the latest way in which the National Planning Policy Framework will effect field workers, or perhaps just a blog, funny relevant video or review of a piece of site kit. The page is a resource catered for archaeologists out on site.



For those not already a member, details of how to join the Digger's Forum can be found on the page. This way you'll be able to get DF news in the site hut on your smart phone and you'll never be out of the loop again.?



So if you're on Facebook go to http://www.facebook.com/DiggersForum and click on 'Like'!



A final reminder that this Friday is the last day for completed ballot papers to arrive in the IfA office, so please make sure you get them in the post asap (today if possible with a first class stamp) if you wish to vote.

Cheers for putting this up David. If you are a DF member you should have got your newsletter by email. If you aren't a member then you can see some of the latest issue in our sampler at http://www.archaeologists.net/sites/defa...ampler.pdf

This issue sees more of the usual DF features, plus new reviews and an article on the Melton affair. There's always room for more articles, news snippets, bookmarks and reviews so get in touch if you fancy writing anything.

The DF Facebook page has been quietly trialled for a couple of months, but we are now properly launching it, by 'Liking' it you can get news and info from the DF, and comment and give us essential feedback on what we are doing on your behalf.
