The Festival
'Fone' Fund
 Bro. Matt Hewitson of Lutudarum Lodge has come up with a great scheme for
raising money for Derbyshire Festival 2014. The Festival ‘Fone’ Fund won’t cost
you a penny! Instead of digging deep in your pockets for change he is asking you
to dig deep in the back of your drawers to find that old Mobile Phone that has
been languishing there for the past few years.
Just click on the Festival Logo for more
info!
