To the many loyal readers and advertisers who sent us messages of support during the suspension of the printed edition of The Armidale Express, thank you.

To our digital subscribers - existing and new - thank you for trusting us to bring you the latest local news at armidaleexpress.com.au and in our e-edition while our newspaper was in hibernation.

Like many businesses in our community affected by the coronavirus pandemic over the past 12 months, we are grateful for the expressions of community support we've received.

This makes us more determined than ever to get back to delivering in print and online the local news and information that helps keep our region informed and connected.

So, if you value local news for our community, please buy a copy of the newspaper, take out a digital subscription or advertise with us. And tell your friends!

Together, we can continue to tell the stories of Armidale and champion the place we all love to call home.
