I think they've printed the details twice, in the last two years.

I won't be bothering in future. There are other ways we can publish the details of the meetings. Many with easier ways of reaching more people, than your dwindling circulation figures would allow us to.

I also won't bother buying it anymore. I might glance at a family member's copy, when it's given to me third hand. For old times sake.

Rest in peace Accrington Observer, a once great, and much loved local newspaper.

What we're left with in it's place, is quite frankly, and literally, rubbish.

Ain't missed reading it since posting that, earlier in the autumn.
