Branch Member, Natalie Amber, was awarded an Honorary Life Membership at the Conference Dinner last night and we couldn't be more proud of her! As an active Equity member (and former GM committee member) she was praised for her tireless efforts for the union. Well deserved!

At the Conference Dinner last night there were whoops, cheers and some tears as our Branch Secretary, Chris Clarkson, received an Honorary Life Membership, in recognition of his tireless work for the union. Huge congratulations to Chris!

Sunday afternoon of Conference is traditionally filled with Fringe Events. There were 15 this year for reps to choose between & our Branch Members, Chris & Saf, were involved in creating 2 of them. Both went down very well!
