Liz Burton Ivor Hughes Judith Dunn Dawn Kilner Eric Wells Hello and welcome to this month’s Covered – the magazine for the Leeds suburbs. Most of us pass Leeds Town Hall fairly regularly but when is the last time you popped in and had a poke around? We visited this month for an access all areas look behind the scenes. There’s certainly more to the Town Hall than we thought. Have a look at this month’s Places of Interest feature and see for yourself. It’s some time since we last visited a vegetarian restaurant, the last time being our visit to the impressive Cheerful Chilli in Otley. We thought it was time we featured another so popped in to Roots & Fruits in Leeds’ Grand Arcade where we found a truly interesting menu and story behind the business. Long gone are the days when vegetarian and vegan places offered up nut-roast as their signature dish. See this month’s Food & Drink for more. Also in this month’s edition, we thought it was about time Covered photographer Ivor Hughes got his skates on so we sent him along to check out Leeds Roller Dolls. Unfortunately he couldn’t be persuaded to join in but he did find a fantastic minority sport in the city, one that most won’t have been aware existed before now. If you’re like a little razzamatazz with your sport then it might be for you. Looking to the next edition; the deadline for editorial submissions and listings in our Really Useful Guide is 11/11/14 and the advertising deadline is 14/11/14. Until next month,

Food & Drink
ROOTS AND FRUITS Roots and Fruits is now practically an institution. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and recently under new ownership, this vegetarian and vegan cafe first opened its doors in November 1989 to rapturous applause from non meat eaters previously deprived of a good place to eat out in Leeds centre. Twenty five years later and things have changed quite a bit in the city. Roots and Fruits though is still going strong and remains one of the the very few places to offer an exclusively meat free menu, rather than just a token number of dishes. That doesn’t mean to say that it only caters for vegetarians and vegans, of course. With a growing interest in food and sustainable living, people are
often keen to know the origin of their food, not to mention the cost to the environment. Added to this is the rise of the so called ‘gastrotourists’. According to recent research, more and more travellers are choosing their holiday destination based on the culinary experience available, with many keen to try out new flavours. And exciting new flavours is certainly something which Roots and Fruits
has to offer the discerning diner, right here in Leeds. Located in the smart and recently refurbished Grand Arcade, Roots and Fruits is popular with pretheatre diners and you can expect them to be bustling just before curtain call and also over lunch time. Offering diners a myriad of freshly cooked and delicious dishes, with the opportunity to bring your own alcohol for a small corkage fee, it’s easy to see the attraction in this quirky and friendly cafe. New owners Kay Jones and Richard Young took over around a year ago and are the third owners in the history of Roots and Fruits. Passionate about the cafe, and the ethos behind it, they have renovated to a fresh, contemporary style and vibrant caterpillar greens with sumptuous cerise pinks provide a fitting backdrop to the interesting mosaic tiled counter. Pleasant lighting highlights the work of local artists on the walls and many of the

original Grand Arcade features remain. The huge windows offer customers the opportunity to watch the world go by from this tranquil oasis, which is just a stone’s throw away from the main shops and offices, and the original numbered floor tiles are still present in the doorway too, which seems only appropriate in an area of Leeds now known for its vintage stores and craft shops. You can expect a warm and knowledgable welcome at Roots and Fruits. Kay and Richard and are keen to showcase fresh and imaginative dishes alongside tried and tested favourites and to show that vegetarian food can be enjoyable and accessible for everyone. A quick glance through the menu reveals a range of dependable dishes such as an all day breakfast, burritos and a hearty lasagne or moussaka which sit alongside more exotic dishes such as crisp julienne vegetable, lemongrass and noodle salad, served with a Cambodian wedding day dip, or homemade chickpea and broad bean falafel. There is also a selection of lighter meals on offer such as goat’s cheese fritters with an onion marmalade, haloumi salad with puy lentils or Welsh rarebit, which may leave room for one of the fabulous desserts such as

such creative culinary delicacies. All of the burgers and soups are hand-made and vary according to whatever seasonal produce is available and you can expect such tasty options such as a marrow, fennel and rosemary soup, served with a bread bun freshly baked each day on the premises. Fresh sandwiches are also an option and include time honoured classics such as egg mayo sitting alongside a tempting artichoke and chickpea salad. Cheese roulade, spicy curries and dhal add to the range of dishes from around the world and are popular favourites on the menu too, offering a warming choice as the cold nights draw ever closer. Roots and Fruits is the only restaurant in Leeds to be approved by the Vegetarian Society, which
means that not only do they reach a very high standard and are cruelty and meat free, but all eggs are free-range and all dishes GM free, proving that conscientious and ethical dining can be achieved at an affordable price. Whilst the dishes here are very reasonably priced, there is no scrimping on quality and all produce and suppliers have been very carefully hand selected. All coffee is Fairtrade, as is much of the tea selection and hot chocolate, and the range of freshly made smoothies are vegan and gluten free. There is also a selection of cold drinks and juices available and you will find a range of handcrafted chocolate by Sweet Revolution, made in Wetherby, and cakes baked freshly by local favourites, That Old Chestnut.
At Roots and Fruits, they are happy to cater for differing tastes and many dishes can be adjusted to be suitable for vegans and gluten free diners are encouraged to enquire about dishes. The cafe is also available for private parties and has disabled access, though it should be noted that the toilet is upstairs. Much of the food is available to take away and orders can be rung through in advance and they are open from 11 am until 7 pm, Monday to Saturday.

News from the Suburbs
Otley FolkFest highlights The 23rd Otley Black Sheep Folk Festival had the town resounding to fiddles, clogs and more in mid-September. Established visiting artists, local favourites and newcomers (including local MP Greg Mulholland with Summercross) put on entertainment for all tastes. Covered couldn’t get everywhere, so here are a few highlights. The Duncan McFarlane Band – acoustic and electric – was on great form inside and out at the cricket club. Duncan’s sheer energy and infectious enjoyment got the crowd singing, swaying and clapping along to old numbers, contrasting well with the more reflective mood of some recent material.
Duncan McFarlane in good voice and humour
A troupe of tribal belly dancers, otherwise known as Four Hundred Roses, were a welcome surprise at this year’s festival – they hadn’t registered in time to be included in the programme.
Dave Vermond is another local hero and he gave a storming set upstairs at the Red Lion. Rachael and Mark of the Heathen Kings kicked off with sweetly lyrical ballads, followed by Hex with powerful three-part harmony before Dave and his guitar – also used as percussion. Three very different sounds, all well served by the Red Lion’s superb acoustic.
wry humour, both much in evidence. His new song, the Wrong Bus, was commissioned by the BBC which wanted a funny number to lighten its Radio Ballads series on WWI. Otley loved it – you can hear it at 10pm on Radio 2 on 11 November.
Dave Vermond also played Korks
Michael Forsyth (Copper Kettle) and Anna Shannon are two other balladeers, each with a moving repertoire of social history and comment, much appreciated by the Korks audience. At the Methodist Hall on Sunday were Grace Notes followed by Jez Lowe. Grace Notes accompany themselves on a variety of instruments and also sing beautiful three-part harmony a cappella. Traditional and contemporary songs and their insightful comments make for a memorable performance. Jez Lowe has his roots in the tradition of the pitman poets of the north-east and is known for his stripy jumpers and
Two things were noticeable at this year’s festival. First, it was quiet. As co-organiser Steve Fairholme told Covered: “There are just too many festivals. We will have to look at timing; by September, people have been to a lot. And the clash with Saltaire makes no sense.” True. Another thing making no sense is the continued closure of Otley’s Civic Centre. The town needs its major venue. What are the authorities up to? If you fancy folk in the sun, follow Duncan McFarlane to Spain in March for a five day festival on the Costa del Sol. Details on the website costadelfolk.com ( code DMF-CDF at checkout gets Covered readers a £10 discount, courtesy of Duncan).

10 Places of Interest
LEEDS TOWN HALL Mention Leeds Town Hall and most would think of the iconic clock tower, or the four white stone lions which guard the entrance to this majestic building. Yet there is much more to discover about this landmark in the midst of our busy metropolis. This Grade I Listed building was built from millstone grit during the population boom of the 19th century. Leeds was then a dirty town, with coal driven steam engines and many unsanitary conditions. The now beautiful Victoria Quarter was then an open air slaughter house, with the blood carried down Briggate (‘road to the bridge’) and into the river. Also on Briggate was the Moot Hall which was used as the city’s courthouse, but the swift rise in population meant that this became inadequate. A tender was launched to design a new municipal ‘palace’ which would give the Victorian
working classes something to aspire to and show Leeds as the successful city it had fast become. The contract was won by little known architect, Cuthbert Brodrick, who later designed other buildings such as the Corn Exchange, Mechanics Institute and the Turkish Baths which sat on Cookridge Road, before he became obscure. Interestingly, the clock tower was not part of Brodrick’s original design and was added after civic leaders requested a grander architectural building. Leeds Town Hall was then used as a model for many buildings across the British Empire.
An estimated 20,000 people lined the streets to see Queen Victoria open the town hall in 1858. Her statue remains in the vestibule to this day and the grand central hall was spontaneously named Victoria Hall in her honour during the opening ceremony. In May
“An estimated 20,000 people lined the streets to see Queen Victoria open the town hall in 1858”
Places of Interest 11
1942, 25,000 people turned up to hear Winston Churchill give a speech on the steps of Leeds town hall and, nowadays, the building plays host to wedding ceremonies, conferences and council departments, including PEPU (Peace Emergency
Planning Unit). The opulent Victoria Hall remains a venue for many performances and its concert organ is the largest three manual example in Europe. It contains 6600 pipes and is one of the few organs capable of playing a lower A note and lunchtime
recitals are largely given by Dr Simon Lindley who has been Leeds Civic Organist for almost 30 years. Tours are now available and as well as visiting the grand Victoria Hall include the courtroom, which was functioning up until 1991 and has featured in TV programmes such as Emmerdale and The New Statesman. From here you can visit the original prison cells in which 81 unfortunate Victorians were held before being transported to Armley Jail to be hung. Somewhat worryingly, when exhuming the bodies at the jail, an extra corpse was discovered and remains unidentified. Next it’s up the 203 spiral steps to the clock tower which, at 225 feet, was the tallest building in Leeds until 1966 and still houses the original William Potts of Pudsey timepiece, as well as offering some of the most magnificent views across the city.

Leeds Roller Dolls If you’ve seen the film Rollerball, either the 1975 original or 2002 remake, then you’ll have a good idea of the aims behind the rapidly growing sport of roller derby. OK, the circuits aren’t banked, there is no ball to get into any goal and nobody is riding or being pulled by a motorcycle. But the vigour, attitude and razzamatazz are just the same. Two teams of five, drawn and rotated from squads of up to fourteen in any one match, compete on a circuit roughly the size of a tennis court. Always travelling anti-clockwise, the aims of each team are twofold and identical; assist your own nominated player (the “jammer”) to lap the opposition as often as possible – while blocking your opponents’ jammer from doing exactly the same. The matches are played over two periods of 30 minutes, each half being broken down into shorter periods of up to two minutes. The rules governing what blocking or charging manoeuvres are or aren’t permissible remain a mystery to the newbie spectator – but referees are

there to enforce rules dedicated to player safety. Though that’s not to say that there aren’t several heavily protected spills during each play. Eighty years ago in USA the sport was fully professional and attracted up to five million spectators. The modern revival is around ten years old with the game being predominantly all-female, amateur and administered by volunteers. The showbiz and glamour elements that allegedly ruined the game in USA have been reintroduced

On the match day we attended, the Leeds line-up included Meg Argh Bite and Rigor Morris ... On the day, at Leeds Footsal Stadium on 20 September, six teams from the north (Sheffield, Hull, Halifax, Furness, Newcastle and Leeds) were competing in the fifth annual Great Yorkshire Showdown. Multiple matches (here a warm-up “A” match, six league matches and then a final) are more popular than single ones due to the cost of venue and travel. The result? Whippin Hinnies (Newcastle) beat Furness Firecrackers 173 points to 172 – a remarkably close and high scoring final. Leeds Roller Dolls’ home fixtures close just as this issue commences distribution. So you’ll have to visit leedsrollerdolls.co.uk and related social media to get the latest news, results and league positions. There is also a wealth of information for wannabe rollers (league, recreational or junior) and a plea for volunteers in organisational and support roles.

Kirkstall Brewery: A Pint of History There exists a rich history behind the building which currently homes hundreds of Leeds Metropolitan University students: Kirkstall Brewery, once a booming hub of the beer business in Yorkshire. It operated as a brewery between 1834 and 1983 - 150 years of active and widespread trade not only within Britain, but also across the globe. Kirkstall's brewing history dates even further back than the 19th century, however. In the 12th century, an abbey on the River Aire's banks in Kirkstall was built by Cistercian monks, which included a forge and a brewery. It holds a reputation for being the most well-preserved monastery in the country and is a picturesque landmark; its ruins attracted Romantic painters during the 18th century. Opposite the River Aire stands the stone built, original Kirkstall Brewery, which during the late 19th century gained its momentum. It was operated by Thomas Walker from before 1834, but was acquired by Benjamin Dawson around 1845. It was later registered in 1871 as The Kirkstall Brewery Co Ltd. The brewery increased its output from 26,000 to 72,000 barrels of beer per year between 1871 and 1898, and its produce rapidly became highly regarded throughout Yorkshire and North East England. It was not just the Brits who relished the beer, though; Kirkstall Brewery's product was exported to Australia
- as they themselves phrase best - "revives the long tradition of brewing in Kirkstall and provides the inspiration to once again make the name famous for great beer."
and New Zealand. With offices in London and with the use of the canal system, Kirkstall Brewery was able to transport barrels to the coast, which was then loaded onto ships and sent overseas. After a series of new owners and a century and a half of successful business - sales reaching as high as a quarter of a million barrels per year - the brewery was closed in 1983. But less than a decade later, the barren brewery was given a new use: accommodation for over 1,000 Leeds' students, where its legacy no doubt lives on through its new occupants today. This wasn't the end for the brewery business in Kirkstall, however. On the banks of the Leeds Liverpool canal and a stone's throw away from the original brewery stands the new Kirkstall Brewery which
In June 2011, the New Kirkstall Brewery was opened by Steve Holt, who has over a decade of experience in the beer industry and established his own company in 2003: Vertical Drinks, which handles importation (Sierra Nevada beers from California), distribution, marketing, and sales for a number of premium beers throughout the UK, including Kirkstall Brewery's own brands. Kirkstall Brewery provides a vast selection of delectable beers, all of which are brimming with personality and flavour - if you have a particular taste, there's no doubt that they produce an ale which satisfies your thirst!

Book review: The New World by Andrew Motion Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a children’s classic. Former Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, has loved it since childhood. It has, he says, “excitement, mystery, intrigue, suspense, pathos and human sympathy”. Stevenson left his tale just asking for a sequel and, in 2012, Andrew Motion wrote it. In Silver, Natty, daughter of Long John Silver and Jim, son of Jim Hawkins, return to finish what their fathers left undone. That story too ended in a cliff-hanger – or rather the opposite, since Natty and Jim were blown off course and shipwrecked at the bottom of a cliff on the Texas coast. The New World picks up there. On the way back, they

A feature of the writing is the light touch with which Andrew Motion makes us aware of the immense loss of indigenous culture, destroyed by Westerners who thought they knew better. The New World also leaves the story open – no cliffs this time, just the marshy coast of southern England. We shall have to wait for the conclusion.

Stocking Up The RSPB is often asked for help in identifying an “unusual” bird – people will mention a stripy head, blue wings, black moustache or white rump. This mysterious creature usually turns out to be a jay. Normally shy birds that keep to the tree canopy, in autumn jays become more visible as they hunt out acorns around our streets and gardens. As a bird, the jay has everything – it is beautiful, intelligent, resourceful and full of character. Their activity at this time of year has an important purpose, as most of the acorns they collect are buried to provide a “larder” in times of food scarcity. Each individual can collect and store around 5,000 acorns, and, amazingly, they can remember up to 75% of these hiding places when they need to retrieve the food. Jays go to some considerable trouble to avoid being seen when they are hiding food, and even dig it up and re-bury it if they think they have been watched.

Any questions, ideas, suggestions or observations about local birds and wildlife, garden or otherwise are welcome and will be included in future articles. Please email: info@ covered-magazine.net or write to Covered at the usual address. Other birds can also be seen “caching”, as it’s called – coal tits dash back and forth from feeders, and nuthatches wedge seeds under tree bark. As the days get shorter, the struggle for survival becomes more intense for all our wildlife, so anything you can do to make a home for nature will be even more important. Why not make a dead

This is the month of cutting and cleaning, collecting sacks of fallen leaves for composting, and enjoying the beautiful colours of autumn.

St Gemma’s November Vintage Fair Following the huge success of September’s Fair, it seems that all things vintage are still very popular with the people of Leeds. Floods of people packed the St Gemma’s Hospice events centre in Moortown to grab a vintage bargain, a piece of jewellery or item for their home. With people saving their pennies now rather than splurging on new items, vintage is the way to go. You can get your hands on quality pieces of home ware and clothing for a fraction of the cost of a new item – plus you have the added bonus of owning a distinct, or unique piece. St Gemma’s Hospice are now looking ahead to the next Vintage Fair on Sat 15th & Sun 16th November from 10.00am until 2.00pm on both days. The Vintage Tea Rooms will serve a selection of
for Santas or Elves of all ages and abilities (wheel chair/pram friendly route). There’ll be lots of seasonal cheer from the crowds to get you on your way. A warm up to loosen those limbs will take place at the start, led by a live brass band and there’s a choir singing carols at the end to get you in the seasonal spirit. Plus there are hundreds of other Santas to pound the pavements with. Don’t forget to get your cheeks all rosy with hot drinks and free food at
Little Tokyo after the dash! Be part of this fun and festive Christmas event, embracing the spirit of giving………then Santa will know just how good you have been! It’s £8 to register and you get your Santa Suit provided, children u12 are free and are encouraged to wear festive fancy dress (prizes for best dressed).

delicious treats, with lunch served in the bistro to keep your energy up for the shopping. For those that love fixing-up old clothes, or have found some scraps of fabric you can’t think what to do with – visit the Upcycling Guru to learn simple hand sewing techniques. St Gemma’s Shops will also have a range of upcycled furniture on offer. The event will also display a very special selection of wedding dresses – the perfect opportunity to find that one-of-a-kind dress with a retro edge, or one you can tailor to make your own! BBC Auctioneer, Gary Don, will be there on the Saturday morning to provide antique valuations so dust off your items in the attic and find out if you’ve been hoarding a secret treasure trove. Finally, on show will be an original vintage Brum Pedal Car – a fantastic opportunity to relive memories of this British children’s superhero rescue television series.
All this plus live vintage tunes to jive along to as you shop makes it an event not to be missed! For more information call: 0113 218 5580, email: daniellel@st-gemma.co.uk or visit www.st-gemma.co.uk/vintagefair

CANDIDATE CALLS FOR FARES FREEZE With many local commuters angry at government plans to hike fares at stations across our area, including Horsforth, Guiseley and New Pudsey, local resident and Labour's parliamentary candidate Jamie Hanley has launched a campaign calling on the government to reconsider its position and ease the burden on those who use public transport and are struggling to make ends meet. Speaking out about the issue, Jamie said “these increases will come at the worst possible time for many local people; another unwelcome expense for hardworking families already hit

by the rising cost of living. We hope to collect enough signatures to pressure this government, and our MP, to freeze fares now and listen to the wishes of the people they claim to represent”.
38 Blast from the Past
What Price Valour? What price valour? This 1914 (Mons) Star group of three medals was awarded posthumously in respect of 7629 Sergeant James Arthur Battle of School Lane, Chapel Allerton. Serving with The Yorkshire Regiment, Sgt Bartle was killed in action in Belgium on 22 October 1914. The medals, plaque, frame and four related regimental photographs sold for £450 at Hartleys Auctioneers (Ilkley) in October.
Chapel Allerton paid a price during WWI. Recent issues of Covered have included details of the two Maxwell brothers of Stainbeck Road, killed within months of each other shortly after the outbreak. More recently, the October medals section of Hartleys Auctioneers in Ilkley included the WWI medals and death plaque awarded posthumously in respect of Sergeant James Bartle of School Lane, Chapel Allerton. Sergeant Bartle was killed in action in October 1914 during the First Battle of Ypres (there were four). His body was never identified and his name is among others from The Yorkshire Regiment inscribed on Ypres’ Menin Gate. But what price valour? The three standard WWI medals and death plaque issued in the name of Sergeant Bartle are pictured. The 1914 Star (named on the reverse) was awarded to the earliest arrivals (a 1914-15 version was awarded to those arriving later). The silver British War Medal and golden Allied Victory
Medal (both named on the rim) were also issued to most servicemen, with minor variations. All casualties, whether military or civilian, prompted the award of a bronze Death Plaque (name showing). There are several factors that made Sergeant Bartle’s medals worth more than most – apart from the fact that he was KIA in Ypres. First, as an early arrival, his 1914 Star is worth significantly more than the 1914-15. The very earliest arrivals were also awarded a small clasp to display on the ribbon, making them rarer still – though Sergeant Bartle’s is missing now. Secondly, only one James Arthur Bartle served in WWI. So there is no room for ambiguity or mistaken identity. Thirdly, he was a senior NCO. The higher the rank, the rarer the medals. And, finally, he was serving in a front line regiment - rather than in a support unit many miles away. These medals (albeit without the clasp), Death Plaque,
some paperwork, four related regimental photographs and an ornamental memorial bought by the family to display the plaque sold for £450 (including premium). Quite a high price, in comparison with others similar. The only other groups of standard medals generally selling for more are those awarded to non-English units (Wales, Scotland, Ireland and white Commonwealth) and casualties on the first days of infamous engagements such as The First Battle of The Somme or Gallipoli. If awarded to a “Pals” battalion, then the vendor can all but name their own price. Royal Flying Corps/RAF also sell very strongly, though not Royal Navy. It’s just the way things are. The fact that all that remains of Sergeant James Arthur Bartle, 1 Bn Yorkshire Regiment, sold for but £450 on 1 October is not a reflection of the low value placed on his sacrifice during The Great War. It is because he is one among a million others.

40 Made in Leeds
Made in Leeds: RSLSteeper Leeds is the UK's third largest manufacturing centre outside of London - with over 1,700 manufacturing companies and around 30,000 people employed. The city supplies a vast variety of products to its local population and beyond. Made in Leeds features innovative companies from around the area and highlights their greatest achievements. This month, Covered takes a look at an outstanding company who are dedicated to manufacturing innovative, life-changing assistive technology: RSLSteeper. With over 90 years of experience, they are the leading provider of upper extremity prosthetics, orthotics, and various assistive technologies and services. RSLSteeper’s extraordinary products provide consumers worldwide with a greater level of independence, control, and peace of mind, enabling them to reach their potential and live life to the full. Their Assistive Technology Division designs, manufactures, services, and maintains environmental control systems that enable many elderly and disabled people to live safer and more independently. Partnered with a number of internationallyrecognised lower limb prosthetic manufacturers - such as Medi, Biosculptor, Freedom Innovations, and Trulife - RSLSteeper provide the UK with some of the finest world class products available. Their technology improves the livelihoods of people from every walk of life and of all ages. Among their remarkable range of assistive technology and prosthetics, RSLSteeper manufacture bebionic3: the world's most advanced commercially available bionic hand
to date. It was developed over many years while working close with amputees and launched in 2012. Bebionic3 myo-eletric prosthetics are designed to be highly durable, easy to use, lifelike, and most importantly provide unrivalled versatility, functionality, and performance in everyday activities. They transform the lives of countless amputees worldwide. Its leading-edge technology and ergonomic features provide users with astounding usability. Microprocessors, grip patterns, speed control, and wrist options - to name a few - enables precise, reliable control over each finger and the entire hand. With programming software - bebalance users can customise their prosthetics to meet their exact requirements and maximise control. Moreover, RSLSteeper manufacture state-of-the-art, lifelike cosmeses to complement their prosthetics, including the award winning Skinergy Plus below knee cosmesis. Their silicone gloves, designed for bebionic3, are available in 19 different skin tones, designed to look as authentic as possible. Mike Swainger – the first person in the UK fitted with a bebionic hand through the NHS – stated: “Having a bebionic hand is a complete life-changer. I’ve tried many new sports and have gotten
used to performing the everyday tasks I never thought would be possible. The best thing by far is being able to walk down the street hand-in-hand with my daughter.” After being fitted with bebionic3, Stephen from Northern Ireland said: “Nothing compares to the versatility and freedom of bebionic3. Not only can I now manage day-today tasks but I’m also taking flying lessons – a hobby the bebionic3 has improved to no end, thanks to its precision and dexterity.” At the 2014 China International Rehabilitation and Specialist Equipment Exhibition in September, bebionic3 won first prize for best product, voted for and highly commended by delegates who attended the exhibition. Bebionic3 now continues to impress and improve the lives of people all over the world, and RSLSteeper are due to launch a new, incredible prosthetic soon.
