Julie Bates wins Murray Bridge News’ subscriber giveaway for October 2023
The business development expert has been a paying subscriber since 2020.
As someone who works in business development right across the Murraylands and Riverland, Julie Bates leads a busy life.
The convenience of getting the latest local news sent straight to her email inbox every week is why she has been a Murray Bridge News subscriber almost since the beginning.
“I get to know what’s going on around town, or maybe get some of the truth behind the gossip,” she said.
She liked supporting a locally owned and operated business, she said – but that wasn’t the only reason she paid for a subscription.
“It’s about supporting local news for the masses,” she said.
“If we don’t subscribe, (Murray Bridge News) won’t exist.”

Her loyalty was rewarded last month, when she was randomly selected as the winner of this publication’s monthly subscriber giveaway.
She walked out of our office with $184 worth of prizes, including a family pass to Monarto Safari Park, three films on DVD, a double pass to the Capri Theatre and some Murray Bridge News merch.
Murray Bridge News will give away another prize to a paying subscriber next month.
