Trivia

Not quite a trivia question this week, but I'd love to hear your thoughts! If a local discount card were available, offering savings at popular bars and restaurants in Harrogate, would you be interested?

The card would come at a small cost, which would help cover the running of this newsletter, but the savings you'd get from the discounts would more than make up for it. Let me know what you think!
