We would like to wish all our readers a very happy festive season.

At EYE, we are taking a break after today – newsflashes permitting – and look forward to being back with you in the New Year.

Thank you for continuing to read us on a daily basis, and thanks also to those of you who post up your comments, often initiating interesting debates or taking existing ones in new directions.

Our grateful thanks also to our advertising clients who make it possible for us to bring out EYE free of charge to readers.

We plan to publish again on January 6 but will of course keep you up to date with any breaking news that we feel cannot wait.

And let’s hope that after a tough two or three years for the industry, there will be bright and busy times ahead in 2020.
