Family Fun-a-thon Coloring Contest to run this weekend

Okay everyone, the coloring contest will run in Thursday’s edition of The Daily Journal instead of Wednesday’s this week – so not tomorrow, but Thursday – it’s the same day as Newspapers in Education so they thought it’d be better this way! Sorry if I caused any problems – it was already in the weekend edition, but if you missed it – look for Thursday’s paper.

 Thanks. Jenni McTaggart
