Our plans during the festive season

WITH only a couple of weeks left in 2024 and Christmas fast approaching, here’s a heads up on what you can expect from Sunraysia Daily during the next fortnight.

As Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are both on a Wednesday, we’ll not be publishing a newspaper on those days.

We’re also going to pause publication on Monday, December 30, with the upshot being three editions will not be hitting the stands on those days.

We’ll resume regular publication and circulation from Friday, January 3.

We will be putting out a paper this coming Monday, Friday and Saturday and to make up for the pause on Christmas Day, a two-week TV guide is being published in the next edition on Monday, 23 December.

With many of the region’s real estate firms taking a well earned break, we’ll also be holding off on our real estate liftout until the Friday, 10 January edition.

The Sunraysia Daily office on Deakin Avenue will be closed on the Christmas, Boxing and New Year’s public holiday but open for business at other times.

At all times, we’ll be publishing breaking and up to date news on our website sunraysiadaily.com.au where we’ve created a feature enabling you to read an article for $1 if an ongoing subscription isn’t your thing.

You can also keep up to date via our Facebook page facebook.com/sunraysiadaily and our Instagram account @sunraysiadaily.

As Christmas fast approaches we here at Sunraysia Daily are incredibly grateful for your readership and support – you, our readers and advertisers enable us to do our jobs – thank you.

From our team and families here at the Daily to you and yours, we wish you a wonderful, safe and relaxing Christmas and a positive and prosperous New Year.
