A Christmas message from the Editor

We are grateful for your support and feedback throughout 2023.

The year seems to have flown past, but every day we have been proud to share this wonderful region's many stories of joy and success, loss and resilience, challenge and charity, courage and compassion.

Thank you for helping us tell those stories - online and in print.

Everyone here at the Armidale Express wishes you and your family a safe and happy New Year.

Print publishing pauses for the holidays with no print edition on December 29, or January 5.

The Armidale Express will be back in print on January 12, 2024 with more great reading to usher in 2024.
