Page 3 - Phonebox Magazine October 2008

Plenty of fireworks in this edition and not just the type that fly up into the air because of Guy Fawkes.
There is sure to be a show near you, have a look in the magazine, there are plenty to choose from.
The right to reply is exercised this month and not just by our teens, plenty of letters in from adults as well and we must say they are all in support of Victoria Steen, that plucky teen who dared have an opinion (August issue). Victoria has a letter of reply inside and I look forward to hearing from her again. Apologies to any letters that were not printed but we did have quite a response.
A good cause that needs some support this month is on page 67, see the itinerary for Anthony Doble on his Death Valley challenge, riding a bike will never be the same again!!!
