Ash- Was`nt my idea mate! I`m afraid I`m one of those people who would quite happily invite media organisations in to embarass and vilify the parasitic elements of professional UK archaeology. I had a conversation with an inspired young lady on site last week and the conference was her suggestion. She tempered my overwhelming desire to go down the exposure route (ooer). I think she`s right and, clearly, far more grown up than me! Tiz a superb idea. Welcome aboard Ash, hope to e-mail you soon for a natter.
Venutius- All are welcome to attend such a conference. The more the merrier! I dare the IFA to dismiss the conference as "moans in the pub". In fact, with all the sincerity and warmth in the world, I hope the IFA will not only attend, but present a paper or two.
