The Lady Mayoress is pleased to report that the versatile Interplay Theatre was transformed from a super seventies style roller disco on Saturday night into a laid back coffee shop with books galore. From the frenetic, with lots of thrills and spills, to the positively catatonic with lots of lounging!

Oh my, it rained and rained and rained and still the people came.

Under brollies and hidden in cagoules, toddlers in wellies stomping in the puddles, drips off every nose. But still the people came, to see the thousands of decorated pants hung as bunting around Armley Mill, to see the sheds done up in finest costumes and the stalls and acts and clowns and freaks and food and all the rest, all smiling and laughing in the face of the rain. Ha! Rain? Who cares!

Last Monday we saw the most marvellous Tea Dance ladies from Armley, out and about with their trolley and tasty morsels. They travelled from the BBC to the train station, along the currently dark, grim Neville Street, stopping off at the Dalek (Bridgewater Place) the Round Foundry and Asda.

The Lady Mayoress and the next Parliamentary Candidate for West Leeds Labour party (Rachel Reeves) joined the sweat shop workers last week at Interplay Theatre in a bid to boost morale, and break the back of the longest clothing line in the West.
