In previous years, the Jerilderie Lions calendars have been delivered to your door or letter box.
However, Lions members decided to cease home deliveries after an unfortunate altercation with a dog last year.
You can pick up a free copy of the 2026 calendar from various outlets around town, including IGA and the newsagency.
Thanks to all the Christmas elves who have helped Lions members to deliver the calendars around town in the past; you can now concentrate on other Christmas-time activities.
