The Living Wage Campaign was undertaken alongside BAJR and Prospect. Isn't The Diggers' Forum made up of diggers, and doesn't it have direct access to and communication with the rest of the IfA? If archaeologists posting here haven't joined the group, why not? Or am I being especially dim today?

Quote:quote:it doens't really go into depth on what could (should?) be done next to alievate problems and make the digging world a whole lot better place to be. Maybe that wasn't in it's remit... it provides data not suggestions. But where and when will the problems be tackled?This is a genuine question: isn't that the goal of 'The Diggers' Forum' (an IfA Special Interest Group)? It's free for IfA members and £5 per year for non-members. Here is the link to a report which includes information about what 'The Diggers' Forum' got up to last year, in particular its involvement in the 'Living Wage Camplaign':
