For all the IFA advertising and crude marketing seen on this site for some time now, the end result is still the same: the IFA in my opinion have had little or no positive/tangible impact upon the profession.Standards are appalling, some IFA members are extraordinarily incompetent and RAOs can be little more than laughable badges of convenience.The organisation itself seems more interested in "silencing the critics" than facing reality. In my humble opinion- BAJR "organisation-not individual" should retain its independence from such an inert and faceless club. I`m not remotely interested in endless diatribes defending an organisation that does`nt take archaeology seriously enough to institute change.When it gets off it`s arse-fine.Until then, they should expect criticism from those who see reality every day.Mr Hosty has joined the IFA and of course, his efforts and approach must be applauded and supported.Bajr has not (to my knowledge) joined the IFA and if it does, I for one would see this as a huge travesty.
