  <about>&lt;p&gt;The Bristol and West General Branch is just one of a vital network of branches throughout the UK which give members a voice in the union and much more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Branch holds a meeting once a month in Bristol 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&amp;#8217;s ruling body &amp;#8211; the Equity Council.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, our branch has its own web page, linked from the main Equity site, which has a database of local venues, digs and suppliers that may be of interest to our members. Also on the site, Equity members can add their details to a directory of local Actors, Choreographers, Dancers, Singers, Stage Managers, Designers, Directors, Fight Directors and Walk-ons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our site can be found here: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.equity.org.uk/bristolwestgen"&gt;www.equity.org.uk/bristolwestgen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Branch can also be found on &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16706205731"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
