It is one of the biggest problems I haev to deal with
Pay in
Local Govt Units
University Units
Independant Units
Trusts and Charity
One Man Bands
Consultant
etc....
Each has drawbacks and benefits... one could argue a Charity has an advantage in tax break, that one man bands have benefits in capital costs.. that LGAs have Council backing, that Universities have research resources on tap.. etc etc....
The trouble is... we are in that situation now.. and we don't seem to have a clear direction of what actually to do... which is a bit shocking as we have known this for years... we also wrestle with what archaeology actualy does.. what does it provide.. ask that question and we start to look at the ground shuffle and mumble something vague about "heritage.. er value of knowledge.. er.. cough.. ah.. sorry thats my bus over there.. bye..........."
We have to understand and present a reason for existence AND a clear 5 year plan for where we as a combined disciple... until then we are just whispering in the wind!
CHARTERED STATUS... how many times must I cry for it!!
