Dear colleague

I have to report that Ramsey Rural Museum have been burgled just before their season starts. The Police say that the burglars are targeting places with grass and are looking for sit on mowers, so if you have that sort of gear please double check that is it as secure as possible. In the meantime I’m sure you’ll join me in letting the Ramsey team know they have our sincere best wishes.
