Invite to a discussion on the proposed conservation area of Armley next Tuesday night.

The Lady M is back in Armley after a week of gentle twitching in Portugal. In an event packed week the highlight was, undoubtedly, watching an angry swallow attack a cheeky little owl who dared to come too close to the swallow's nest. Not once, twice, but five times did said swallow show the little owl it's ire! Unless this was a bizarre mating ritual and the owl was a little twit to woo!

So now back to more urban joys. You are invited to signal your intent to find out more about the conservation plans for our own patch of wild life here in Armley (I am thinking Town Street and beyond) The plans are not about the green patches but more about the buildings etc!

More Festival Madness
Lady M to be on the airwaves Monday!

Casey Orr's exhibition along the canal by Armley Industrial Mills was a not to be missed experience, her work is internationally acclaimed and we lucky Armley and Leeds folk get to enjoy it all summer! The rain made drowned rats tails of Lady M's posh cocktail hair do, but it was worth it to see the photographs and mingle with the creme de la creme of Leeds society!

The Lady Mayoress will be live on Air (yes she get's by with oxygen just like you mortals)
As part of the utterly fab festival radio for the I love West Leeds Festival she will be broadcasting out, with love in her heart to all you loyal subjects.

When? When? We hear you cry with gladness of spirit and eager anticipation. Let's huddle around the transister radio with cups of cocoa to hear the good Lady M playing her favourite melodies, swaying gently to her blasts from the past, classics from the atic, raves from the grave! So tune into:

http://icecast.commedia.org.uk:8000/interplay.mp3.m3u or and 87.7fm at
8pm on Monday.

You can even phone whilst she is live on air, she will of course be announcing some jolly jape of a competition, and welcomes all of your views about what makes Armley worth shouting about!
Please RING UP and stop her droning on about her buddies Alan and Barbara!

And finally dear pop pickers, get yourselves all excited about the knitted shed by reading this
