* Discounts: Your Equity card will get you discounts at many cinemas, festivals and much more.
* Equity Children's Entertainers Directory Free Listing

I'm surprised no one has yet to post on comment on this topic. I mean what with many forum users being members of Equity.

What do you want us to say?

We agree there are many benefits to being Equity members if you are a professional entertainer, but many people on here are not, so would not require the benefits offered..

Most join for status and insurance in the first instance, but some have insurance elsewhere that covers them for the variety they offer..

Twisters come in many forms... From those that do it as a profession, those that do it as a hobby, to those just starting to find out what you can do with balloon... thats why the comments and discussions on here are wide and varied..

and long may it continue to be so...

But not all discussions and comments will be seen by some as requiring a response and not all topics will be of relevance to all members
