The fiver a week came off the top of my head (based on half what it would cost me to join say Prospect)
I take your analogy of planting veg......although you don't have to pay each week (except for plant food etc!

And I agree that the Union subs would be a worthy investment in the future if that union could really change things.....
I'm really interested in which union Ken Denham was talking about and what good things happened.
Is it best for people to all join the same union, form a single archaeological union or just join any old union?
