SOMETIMES it is the small gesture that means the most. To open my laptop last Saturday and find a message that read: ‘we’re grateful you are keeping the paper going and really enjoying the familiar routine of picking it up on a Saturday’. Robyn, you made my day.

We in The Irish Field are also grateful to our advertisers and readers for your support. In common with almost all sectors of business, this is a time of great pressure for the world of media. Yet, never in recent times has the media had such an important role to play. Thankfully we are in a position to give our readers a copy to buy each weekend, and from the feedback we are getting you appreciate our efforts.
