Might I be the first (and hopefully not the last) to express my uneasiness as to where this thread might lead or be leading.
sorry kevin, was writing reply whilst you posted.
I'm not trying to conduct an 'inquiry', I'm just trying to find out some information, without ploughing through charity commissioners' reports. It's because I haven't heard a great deal about what these units do, with the exception of the one I said did a great deal, and I'm interested in finding out. I specifically didn't mention any names, and asked replies to do the same. If you think this topic is out of order, then delete it, but I think it should be possible to ask questions.
If you turn the question around it becomes, would UK archaeology be in a better place if the existing system was replaced by regional/county/city units which were charitable trusts that also undertook educational activities and invested surplus for the good of their unit and employees?
