The Armley Tourist Board

The LadyM just had to share with you the rather exciting event that will be taking place during the West Leeds Festival. A rather fabulous roller disco. That's right, don your sweatbands, practice your moves and get hot footing along on the 12th July to Interplay Theatre - more of the details on the events section. Just love the poster!

Lady M would not miss it for the world, although MR Mayor has expressed forbidden her to don skates in her advanced stage, she will however be delighted to support Jane, Casey and Michelle (3 of the original Charlie Cake Angels) with supplying drinks and mopping brows of the enegergic amongst you who partake and skate.

Skates can be hired..... what's stopping you?

After a few sweatshop events it seems we are almost on top of the underpants! This is truly fantastic and could not have been done without those of you willing to sew your fingers to the mast for the festival.

Royal Mail have been pushing brochures through your doors, apparently along with some hot offers from Somerfields too. Those of you in the Avaries area have been visited today by myself and my able assistants Rhiannon and Jess to deliver your brochures by our own fair hands. Except those of you with big scary dogs - some of you might have missed out.

And have a look at the magnificent crown of pant glory! Lovingly hand crafted by Rhiannon (along with some trophies and medals) who will be taking this beauty home with them on festival day? (the crown, not Rhiannon)

That's right, hot off the heels of their success at the Llama Festival in sunny Devon at the weekend, Mik Artistik -Armley Legend, was contacted by Kevin Allen, the brother of famous actor Keith Allen and Uncle to the pink haired Lilly. Keith had seen Mik perform at last year's Glasto and again at the Llama and got his brother to sign him and the band for August Bank Holiday at www.theflatlakefestival.com The LadyM is still waiting for Mik to bring her some flapjack in celebration. Check out Mik's Facebook group. (Mik Artistik)

Armley Today has obviously been watching this site with interest and done a lovely profile on Mik and his paper bag drawings. Click here to read more!

The Armley Tourist Board are hosting a book cafe day during the I Love West Leeds Festival. Turning Interplay theatre into a shabby chic or just shabby emporium of new books and old. The Lady Mayoress, being the avid reader she is, has many recent novels to share, some with unbroken spines. Bring your books, a bag, and a couple of spare hours to chill, chat, eat cake and read.

Story teller Martha will be weaving magical mysteries for children (4+) during the day, so put your feet up and let the children be spellbound.

If you have lots of books, why not offload them before the event, to help us make the place look full to bursting. email enquiries {at} thearmleytouristboard.com

Don't worry if you don't have any to swap, come join us and donate a little to charity to go away with your booty

Sunday 13th July - 1 -4pm
