Shari,

We've lost Bendigo because of the recent sale by Nine/Fairfax of most of the old Fairfax papers to ACM. The new owners are obviously getting their act into gear, and what was probably a mistake by Fairfax (to leave Bendigo free when they stopped all the others) has now been corrected.

Fairfax is left with only the SMH and The Age, and we still have access to those two via my sub.

Fortunately our contact within ACM should be able to add Bendigo to her list, and we'll get back on track again with that paper.

So thanks for your offer, but at this stage I don't think we need to do anything. But things could change, so I'll keep this offer on ice <g>

Are there particular papers that are more pressing then others that we've lost access to?

I admin a very large Facebook group and can put a call out to see if anyone local gets the specific papers and can send me the screenshots of details and I could then upload them for you to RNR?

Just a thought
Shari :)

Yesterday was fine; today they are asking for a sub.
It was only a matter of time before this paper went the same way as the other Fairfax papers we used to get for free.
