| Brighton Branch secretary Phil Mellows puts motion 122 at the NUJ Delegate Meeting, Newcastle |
Brighton Branch sent Phil Mellows and Fred Pipes to the NUJ Delegate Meeting, Newcastle, 5-7 October 2012. Our one motion, 122, in the Ethics section, was passed unanimously, after being moved by Phil. The other big news from the conference was that austerity measures to increase subscriptions by 5% and only hold the DM every two years were passed, but only after a close card vote, and both photographers and 60+ will get their own Councils. Full report to follow.
Fred (Alan) was interviewed by one of the student delegates, Leela Prasad - you can read his verbatim ramblings here: http://nujadm.org.uk/2012/interview-with-alan-pipes/ . You can find other interviews on that website too, along with news and analysis as reported by the journalism students.

| View from our table. General Secretary Michelle Stanistreet is speaking. The gap behind president Donnacha DeLong is where a giant NUJ logo was - it fell off on the first day of the conference! |

The NUJ board didn't just fall off the back of the stage, it whacked me on the head rather painfully. Which, as I said at the time, was the explanation for any mistakes and confusion I displayed for the rest of the conference ;-)
