The Branches
The Association has a branch structure covering the whole of the UK mainland and this ensures that Members have easy access to regular meeting with their peers.
Items of more regional interest can be discussed in detail and the most up to date information of every kind can be disseminated to Members most effectively.
Each branch has a Chairman and a Secretary and those officials, along with regionally based Council Members, will often attend local meetings with, for instance, Performers Unions and Concert Secretary Associations to ensure that problems arising at local level can be the more easily resolved or obviated altogether.
Many of the branches also present annual shows or social functions where Members can meet together in relaxed and enjoyable surroundings.
The Branch Structure is currently made up of:
The Scottish Branch: covering the whole of Scotland.
The North East Branch: covering Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Durham and Teeside.
The North West Branch: covering the area from Cumbria down to North Staffordshire and including North Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Yorkshire Branch: covering Yorkshire, North & Mid Lincolnshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire.
The Midlands Branch: covering the whole central belt of the country from East Coast to Welsh Borders.
The South West Branch: covering South Wales and all south-western counties.
The Southern Branch: covering all south eastern counties other than those covered by the London Branch.
The London Branch: covering Greater London, the Home Counties and Essex.

Whilst the areas covered by each branch might appear somewhat arbitrary, all Association Members are, nevertheless, welcome to attend any branch meeting. Any Member may elect to be considered a member of a branch other than their 'home branch' if that is felt by the Member to be more appropriate to their business activities. |
