Increasing economic difficulties having a depressing effect on archaeological research. The Western Archaeological Trust has gone into liquidation. Will mean increasing reliance on voluntary effort. Proud to remember the Camerton and Nettleton Reports – the results of years of voluntary/amateur efforts. But amateurs have come to feel unwanted. A scheme to help with travelling costs would be useful. Headquarters. Winter lectures. Summer evening excursions. HQ meetings. Parish surveys. Representation. Thanks.
