Lots in the Isle of Man

A while ago you had The Stainless Steel Rat in the Mines of Urr (Sp?) - did you know there was a Choose Your Own Adventure book, “You too can be the Stainless Steel Rat” ?

There’s a bus from Menston station to Otley - the 34

If you get to Otley early enough, come and see us at the Lions bookshop

I’m stewarding in Otley - looking forward to it. Hope you get here with more time to spare this time!
