Just to clarfy one point. If you are already a PIFA/AIFA/MIFA, membership of Diggers Forum is free. Its only non-IFA members who have to pay a fiver.
Maybe DF could also negotiate a deal with Prospect that gives 'free' membership of DF to Prospect members who don't happen to be members of IFA. I will suggest it to the the Archaeologists Branch and to DF. I seem to remember from my time as a IPMS/Prospect rep that it is possible for individual union branches to affiliate to campaign groups that by default makes each member of that branch an ex officio supporter of the campaign. If the 3 biggest Prospect branches would affiliate to DF, I believe their membership would more than double.
Yeah, the more I think about it the more a good idea that sounds. Get every 'archaeological' branch of Prospect to affliate to the Diggers Forum. New Year resolution/project....
