August 2009
Hi everyone! Here’s another full magazine - there’s lots been happening and we have the photos to prove it (www.phoneboxmag.co.uk/gallery) and more events to come.
Don’t forget to keep up to date by looking at our website.
If you let me know what events are coming up they can be added to our web-based diary and we might just stop some of those avoidable clashes that can occur.
Only the other night I had two exciting events to go to on the same day, but was free the rest of the week! C’est la vie!
Don’t forget to keep supporting your local businesses (including Orchard Press!) and keep sending in your letters and articles. We do enjoy reading them.
