Island Twestival A Delight For Charity

Sep 14th, 2009 | By Lucy Johnson | Isle of Wight News From The Island Pulse

Some generous members of the Isle of Wight community gave Bestival a miss on Saturday and fine tuned their online interactive entertainment into hard cash reality for charity.

The inaugural Isle of Wight Twestival was online and streaming webcam fun and tweeting throughout the event, with the good team twitter raising over £1300 for Gift to Nature on the night.

Although some pledges are still to come, you can if you wish still donate online here:
