NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL CUT LIFE MODEL PAY
We are naming and shaming Norfolk County Council here. They have cut life models' pay from £8.44 per hour (already paltry) to an astonishing £6.44 per hour. These are rough figures as it's been difficult to find exact ones. However, the gist is a £2 per hour pay cut! If anyone from the council cares to respond, we're all ears! SHAME ON YOU!!
BEWARE: BOGUS MODEL ABOUT!!
A model who was expelled from RAM many years ago is up to his old tricks. We've had complaints from adult education centres and colleges. He phones implying that he's seen an ad somewhere for models (which doesn't exist) or that the you have called him looking for a model (you haven't!). If he knows it he usually drops the name of someone in reception/office in the "conversation". eg "Ann phoned me to say you're looking for a life model ". He also often mentions RAM's name - or the name of Vic Stevens or Rachel McCarthy (2 people who help run RAM ). He goes under various aliases, including Peter or John Shilling, Whiteshilling, Myatt, Wyatt or White. He lives in Romford, but travels all over London and greater London.
