i was referring to prospect rather than DFA subs. Another point; how many archaeologists dont join the IFA due to the high subs ??
And I was referring to both the £5 a year for Diggers Forum, and the Prospect subs.
IFA subs are subsidised by some units at 50% others at 100%. I can't check the IFA rate for the average digger as their site is down (!!) but for me its about £4 a week. The point of the DF was that you got a voice and mandate inside the IFA for just a fiver. I'd rather spend my money on union subs than IFA if I had to choose.
Being a member of a union is, I would say, an essential given the industry we are all in, sacrificing £71.40 a year is less than two quid a week.
