NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
We all concede the The Gwydir News is a small publication - both in terms of content and by way of personnel. Given the paper is run solely by one person on a part-time basis, when the need arises for a break to be taken, there is equally a need to temporarily pause the publication.
Whilst in the past, particularly when the Warialda Standard and the Bingara Advocate were published, a break coincided with the festive period between December and January, this year, a break will be taken during late July to early August.

As such, The Gwydir News will not be published for the next three weeks, from 20 July to 3 August. Although there will be an absence of news during this time, there will continue to be a weekly publication of the popular “What’s on” pages, to esnure residents and visitors are aware of events in and around the Gwydir Shire.
If you would like to have your event included in the “What’s On” pages, please email gmc@gwydir.nsw.gov.au with details: what, where, when, and who. Any phone enquiries should be made through the Gwydir Shire Council on 6724 2000.
I thank you for your patience and understanding..
