| All change at the SMA Office |
With her stalwart assistance in the SMA Office for the last year providing the additional capacity that enabled the SMA to successfully run the SMfM project, our colleague Lizzie Cheeld has returned properly to her 'day job'(!) as Venue Stage Manager at the Barbican. Our thanks to her for all her hard work - especially with the compilation of the monthly Freelist, where her abbreviations will be much missed!
Lizzie has agreed to write an occassional column for the SMA Website, so shes gone, but by no means forgotten......
The SMA Office now has a new forth person: Sara Santos, who has joined us as our new Assistant Administrator, so there will still always be someone here to answer your queries and send you a blue form. If you've ever really wondered who we all are, you can read all about us by clicking on the link below:

Facebook
There is now a Facebook site: Friends of the SMA.
Its completely independant of the SMA, though you will need to be approved by the three SMA Members who have set it up.
You dont need to be an SMA Member to join it.
There are already 51 people registered, so it looks to be going really well and we hope you will consider joining.
Blogging
We have a couple of volunteers to start a stage management blog, but we shall always be looking for more people, so what ever show you are working on, in what ever job and at what ever stage of the production, if you think you might be interested, then please do get in touch with the SMA Office!

| EQUITY & STAGE MANAGEMENT |
Sylvia Carter, SMA Board Member also serves on the Equity Stage Management Committee. The committee currently only has between 6-8 people serving when it should really have 10-12.
They only meet around 4 times a year so if you have any interest in this subject; if you have got ‘hot under the collar’ with regard to Equity and Stage Management, then one way to be proactive is to look at ways of solving problems from the inside. Click on the link below for a few more details and contact Sylvia for an informal chat on: sylvia.carter@blueyonder.co.uk or 07973 320 372.
