Beating Berlosconi: A play at the Winter Gardens.

Beating Berlosconi- (the Scouser who stood up to Silvio Berlusconi) is a play performed by Paul Duckworth, that will be performed at the Winter Gardens, Eastbourne (in the Gold Room) on Wednesday, 1 February, at 7:30 PM. Tickets are just £5, or are FREE to Unite the Union members!

Despite threats from his wife and bank manager, middle-aged Kenny Noonan travels to Istanbul to watch Liverpool play AC Milan in the Champions' League final. He carries the scars of 30 years as a Red and of living in a city which has been demonised. What happened to Liverpool FC in the second half is legend. What happened to Kenny in the AC Milan directors' box is stranger than fiction.

"The play comes the perfect time. As the coalition Tory led government takes form, the show is right to question both the Conservative and Labour mishaps of the last 30 years, and makes no apologies for doing so. Wou don't have to be a football fan to enjoy the spectacle, all you need is an open heart and a love for the human soul" (EXTRA EXTRA)

To book your ticket call the Eastbourne Theatres box office on 01323 412000, or visit the Eastbourne Theatres website. You can read more information about the play, at the Beating Berlusconi website.

The production is sponsored by Unite the Union's south-east region.

Trades Councils in the Community

Your union branch speaks up for your members and potentialmembers in the workplace. Whether it’s pay, rights at work, healthand safety or lifelong learning, your branch exists to get a better dealfor your members.

Unions also need to raise their voice in the world beyond the workplace when:
• the public services delivered and used by union members come under threat
• racists and fascists try to divide local communities
• local authorities seek to reduce democratic control of education or housing.

That’s where your local trades union council comes in. Trades councils bringtogether local union branches to campaign across a community on issuesthat matter to working people.

Facing closure?: Your trades council can provide practical support and solidarity.
Tackling racism? Your trades council can help unite local people against the haters.
Privatisation problems? Your trades council can help campaign for public ownership and democratic control.

Eastbourne Trades Council represents workers in public and private sector employment across the Borough of Eastbourne and the parish of Willingdon and Jevington.
