Nigel,
It was really encouraging to hear about the work you are doing - more power
to your elbow. I'm sure your members will recognise the value of a more
systematic approach as they get well into it - it becomes addictive you
know. What has been interesting with CMSMRPS and North Devon Archaeology
Society is that such an approach brings in more members - and most
importantly, younger ones!
Kindest regards,
Trevor
