Molong Express

Molong Express Newspaper serving Molong, Cumnock, Manildra, Yeoval, Cudal, Orange and Cabonne Shire

The Molong Express was established on 1 October 1876 by Henry Vale Leathem and was originally a free publication. The Leathems continued ownership of the paper until 1933 when they sold the Express to Walter Pollard Stanger. Stanger issued the Express bi-weekly, but reverted to weekly issue from 10 February 1934. Stanger then bought the Argus (a paid rival paper) and incorporated it into the Expre

ss from 7 July 1934. The decade after World War II saw various changes in ownership until the Express was bought on 1 January 1956 by Norman John Bloomfield and his wife Ivy. Norm Bloomfield and his family published the paper until Norm died suddenly in 2005. His family kept the paper going until it was purchased in April 2006 by Paul Mullins formerly of Canberra. Paul and his partner Rozzi, who edits the paper, continue to successfully publish the paper to this day.

Legendary!

This is Molong Magpies Rugby Union Club skipper Zac White celebrating his side's Oilsplus Cup Premiersip win. Nothing looks out of the ordinary, does it?

Well, that's Bob Sullivan he's with. Bob's a Molong Magpies Life Member and legend, and he just presented Wh**ey with the newly-named Bob Sullivan Cup.

Bob isn't just a Magpies legend, he's a much-loved Central West stalwart. Along with being involved with Molong for decades, he's been involved in our management structure since the early 1990s.

Whether as a Board member, or on the Judiciary, or just as a valued contributor and sounding board, Bob has had a monumental impact on Molong and the Central West. We are thrilled to have named the Oilsplus trophy after him.

He didn't know it was happening, by the way. To have Bob and his family there to surprise him, particularly with Molong winning... well, sometimes you forget that this is what it's all about 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Hello folks!

Unfortunately, the Molong Express will not be printing this weekend
…but we should be back on the stands Saturday, 2nd August.

We've been so busy on the content and distribution side of things, we realised we need to take this short break to work on some stuff behind the scenes for you and recoup from the busy pace of life.

Stay warm with a cuppa by the fire - we’ll be back soon with all your local stories, events and a good dose of community spirit.

See you in August! 💜
