Banner readers benefit from ill wind

Because all ferries were cancelled due to last Friday’s storm, unfortunately the October 20 edition of the Arran Banner failed to make it onto the island.

To compound the matter a distribution hitch meant the Banner still did not arrive when the ferries resumed, for which we can only apologise.

To ensure our readers don’t miss out on all the news, views, leisure and sport from last week, we are offering free online access to the paper, which you can read at www.arranbanner.co.uk/2023/10/24/read-your-arran-banner-here-now-for-free/

By clicking on the link you will be taken to a page turning version of the paper.

Some of the stories you can read in the online Banner include ‘A proud day as Ali gets his MBE’ and ‘Concern grows over waiting times for Ayrshire and Arran hospital appointments’.
