I thought NAPM may like to know that Equity www.equity.org.uk are offering a great discount to new members joining.
After the first payment of £38.83 it is then £9.98 a month thereafter from Jan 1st 2016 .

Ds has been paying this for a few years he joined as was getting a lot of fees for Tommy Zoom and not being a member he had to pay 21% but now he is a member they only take 8% think it's worth it if you are getting a lot of fees that go through Equaty, works out with the joining fee£158.59 which is a lot. It can't be a special offer as it has alway been £9.98 a month for about 4 or 5 years, it used to be a child of 14 could get it a lot cheaper it was still £38.83 one off fee then it was about £60 a year so when they let younger kids join price doubled.

Following my earlier post the prices I quoted based for Equity membership for DS may be helpful are " for children between the ages of 10 - 16 years " .

Also might be worth knowing that if you are studying performance of some sort full time you can get student equity which is about £18 a year. My dd2 has this as she is at a performing arts 6th form, a great deal! There is a drop down menu of establishments and you just pick the one you attend. You then get a discount - when you become and adult member some day - for every year you have been a member Sadly doesn't apply to children and my son has to pay the full whack as he has had professional work

Sorry, could you explain why its helpful joining equity?

Helpful if you are earning in the industry
