One point I left on a 'scribble-board' is the need to raise the issue among members about the change to work permits.  I had a couple of chance conversations with delegates who were going to be working with overseas artists this summer and were unaware of the changes in Immigration Law.

It's absolutely vital that clubs/promoters/festivals know, and take it upon themselves to find out, that an Artist/Dance Caller etc has a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS).   Immigration will turn back anyone without one.
