Yeah, I thought about trying to keep it 'active' - & by coincidence (honest) Jane went for the 'passion' thang. I can see why you want it more 'combative' but I'm not sure it's necessary. But it's up to you!

Do you want to try to get the 'prehistoric' aspect into the strapline?

How about 'Heritage Alliance - fighting apathy towards our ancient past' (bit long & although I like the meaning, I don't like the word apathy - not 'plain English' enough.) I'll keep trying!!!

'Heritage Alliance - fighting for prehistory'

BTW I think I've worked out what I don't like about 'Heritage Alliance' - it reminds me of 'Countryside Alliance'!!!!!!

love

I don't like the word 'heritage' - it's not specific enough to the period we are passionate about.

I don't like the word 'Alliance' either. Makes me think of false promises and building societies.

And I would steer clear of 'fight', warrior' or 'combative' references. Too "Sally Army" and extreme.

'Passion' covers a multitude of sins and implies we do it in a loving and caring way, even if sometimes 'direct action' may be necessary.

Oh dear, that's not very helpful is it. Saying what I don't like and not suggesting alternatives.

I'm working on a document at the moment to do with lesbian and bi-sexual young women and I have entitled it 'Pride not prejudice'. Couldn't we do something under the 'pride', 'proud' banner?

Prehistoric Pride?

I dunno. I need coffee. And nicotine...
