Welcome

Equity has a vital network of branches throughout the UK which give members a voice in the union and much more. Branches hold regular meetings in their local area and all members and student members are invited to attend these to share views and experiences, discuss issues that are of importance to them and put proposals to Equity's ruling body - the Equity Council. Branches also organise a programme of social events and raise money for local charities.

If you are an Equity member or student member based in the area you are able to join the branch (no charge) so please get in touch with the Branch Secretary. If you are a member or student member visiting the area you are very welcome to drop into the next branch meeting and get to know some of your fellow members.

The Bristol & West branch meet at the Hen and Chicken pub on North Street in Bristol every second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm. It is held in the conference room on the ground floor.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEXT BRANCH MEETING, AFTER A SUMMER HIATUS, WILL BE ON TUESDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2008.

Further information about our meetings will be sent out via the minutes, which go out monthly but to receive them, you need to be on the branch register.

We look forward to seeing you at future meetings.

Branch Secretary Rachael Fagan can be contacted on 07941 320 855 or equity.bristolwestgen@googlemail.com

If you wish to register with the branch, or if you'd like to receive minutes electronically instead of through the postal service (thus saving trees and union funds), please e-mail us and let us know.

Also if there's anything you'd like to see on this site, then please don't hesitate to give us your ideas!
