The only tuppence I want to put in just now...
The rate should represent 'value for money'
so if you pay ?80 a year... do you get ?120 worth of benefits... this could translate as... 10% of books bought through archaeology bookshop... discounts on tool hire or buying trowels.... what about workwear... perhaps travel? etc etc...
the point is that tangible benefits are often seen as positive benefits.. where it becomes 'worth' joining...
Thi8s could work and not devalue the IFA in its attempt to move into the next stage of truely representing the whole of archaeology- from Academia to Contractor and all stops in between.
Standards ..... Guidance ..... Support ..... Benefits ...... Policy ..... Representation ..... etc.. this could be the end result, when the IFA becomes supported by all...
Pipe Dream or Potential Reality ..... you choose.... after all, it is those who are not in the IFA who must be actively convinced to join... rather than being told to join... just because you get 4 magazines a year as a benefit.
Another day another WSI?
