Indeed, the founder of Siri Scientific Press, Dr David Penney was contacted by Rochdale Council during the early stages of the bid preparation and asked to provide assistance with his palaeontological expertise, so we are very happy to have been a part of this successful bid and look forward with great anticipation to the arrival of Dippy in our home town.
