Dear Readers

Suite 159, 80 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales m: 07912 878830 t: 01732 521494 Anna Artwork/Sales m: 07939 248983 t: 01732 795777 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the February 2021 editions are: • Maidstone 20th January

Looking back over the past few Christmas updates on this page confirmed what a crazy year it has been. Many of you will have lost someone close to you, some of you may have lost their business whilst others may have made improvements in their life or business. Thankfully we did have a good Summer and we are all lucky to have the countryside around us.

We have had a difficult year both business wise with lockdown and personally but could not have got through if it were not for our advertiser’s loyalty; thank you.

Thank you also to all our brilliant distributors who have delivered in difficult circumstances and lastly, a big thank you to our readers and users of the local Oracle who make it all worth while and who support local businesses.

Christmas and New Year will be very different this year but we wish you a safe and relaxed time.

The January 2021 edition will also be online but we plan to be back with a bang in February.

• Malling 15th January

We will be also be sharing information on our social media pages which can easily be found.... facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle.

• Tonbridge 20th January

All the best
