On the timing of the archaeology event: does it really make any sense to put it just before the school holidays in Englsnd and Wales (which BTW are aparrently different for different schools now)? Surely you'd get more participation if it were during the school holidays? and you'd want it when the most research digs are on...
From the few times I have been involved with NAW events having in the school holidays seems like a particularly bad time to do it - because everyone is on holiday, and hence abroad, or on a beach. Most commercial organisations are probably going to be unable to do much during the week as well, leaving weekends, which are difficult for the same reason. However, whenever you have it it is not going to suit everyone - so that was a fairly pointless response then... [:0]
