This week's Isle of Wight County Press is out tomorrow (Friday, July 31) and it's full of picture spreads, an exclusive competition and much more.
Friday's edition of the newspaper features our eight-page supplement of pictures of Year Six leavers, as they finish their time at primary school and go onto secondary school in September.
Readers also have a chance to win a family ticket to Jay Miller's Circus - we have ten to give away!
In the paper, we have an exclusive interview with comedy legend Jasper Carrott, picture spreads of Sandown Carnival and Ventnor Fringe, our eight page bereavement supplement and all the latest news from the courts and across the Island.
Pick up your County Press in shops from tomorrow morning.
