Very good Uo1...the forum wouldnt be the same to read without your particular brand of humour 
I have held back posting in this discussion because i dont want to 'campaign for your votes' in an arena that not all candidates may have access to. They may not be bajrfed members, or may not currently have access to a computer or the internet. Everyone submitted a statement, use these to guide you
Quote:The big question that is on people's lips is what is going to happen to fieldworkers - the poor bloody infantry.Whilst this is obviously a matter of huge importance to us all surely this is ignoring, to detriment, many other 'big questions' on peoples lips. And surely benchmarking and consolidation will affect many more than fieldworkers alone.
Quote: I would very much like to see a council that has a broad range of experience, but also feel that the voice of teh fieldworker must not only be heard, but be strong enough to carry forward motions within council itself.I agree that a broad range of experience is essential but unlike you i feel that someone who is capable of listening, understanding, mediating and carrying forward many peoples interests and concerns is the key importance to the position, not the candidates job label. You consider yourself an illustrator, a manager and a fieldworker so surely other archaeologists, possibly some of the other candidates, also have multiple job descriptions (self labelled or otherwise) and they surely MUST have vested interests in other fields within the discipline.
