Dear TV Freelancer,
 
Are you free tomorrow (Friday 9th June)? If so, you might like to know the
line-up of stallholders offering advice and services to current or
prospective freelancers at Bectu's Freelances Fair, being held at BAFTA, 195
Piccadilly, London, from 1pm until 7pm. (More are still coming on board as
we speak, so the list is not final.) This is a unique opportunity to get
advice from a wide range of industry professionals all gathered under one
roof, at an event specifically aimed at film and TV freelancers.
 
The fair is followed at about 8pm by a question and answer session. You
don't have to be a BECTU member to come along to the fair in the afternoon;
it's free and you can just turn up on the day - but as interest has been
strong (and all the afternoon seminars are now booked up), we strongly
advise you to register for entry to the fair via BECTU's website here:
