A fantastic couple of days in London watching amazing theatre (Starlight Express, Titanique, The Tempest, Merchant of Venice and The Devil Wears Prada the musical), exhibitions, indulging in delicious food and enjoying the occasional cocktail.

London does New Years very well.

Great to be in Manchester celebrating with the Usdaw Academy Reps. They have been terrific over the previous six months and each should be proud of their contribution to our union.
