To get the pensions bit firmly out of the way first I work for a welsh trust and have had no pension entitlement at this or any other job, have nothing saved up, and have placed my head firmly in the sand!!
But to return to the origional thread as is this a council run scheme as if it is then this seems to be one of the few areas where the heritage budget isnt being squeezed tighter and tighter, and congratulations for making such a scheme work.
And on a more mercenary note the more people see archaeology first hand and work with people who are employed in the proffession the more sympathy we are likley to gain as to attempting movement on pay and conditions. Raising awareness of archaeology raises awareness of archaeologists
