A.R.C. Motion for North & West Yorkshire Variety Branch                  

Proposed by: Bob Charles

Seconded by: Kim Le Mar

"This ARC calls on Council to explore the potential dangers and benefits to Equity members, especially those working in Variety, afforded to us by new media platforms and especially live relays."

We feel with this being an important issue to all Equity Members an early inclusion would be appreciated.


This motion co-incides with an article in the Stage Feb 16th 2012 that the Royal Shakespeare Company will broadcast “as live“ this summer into as many as 3,000 Secondary Schools using broadband technology. The members at this Branch need to know how this will affect Variety Artistes if this presents itself in our venues.
