Alan's Leaving Do

Picture last night of UNISON London regional activists at Alan Jarman’s leaving party. Alan (back row on the left) has been the UNISON London regional convener for nearly 2 years and has stepped down after taking voluntary redundancy from his employer.

He was (I think) the first ever black UNISON regional convener as well as a leading LGBT activist and campaigner.

Alan is going travelling and we presented him with a camera to send us back pictures. Perhaps he will start a blog!

Lots of people from all over the place popped in for a chat and a drink. Very interesting conversations on the future of trade unions, politics, Cuba, Israel (and of course loads of gossip). I seem to remember that the quality of the conversation deteriorated somewhat as the evening went on? That may have just been me? But a good time was had by all.

Off now to NHS March & Rally
