Dear Readers

We have had another busy month and have welcomed some new and exciting advertisers for you to consider. It is hard to believe the Summer holidays are just around the corner so we have advertisers ready to shape up the house, the garden and you! Just have a browse through and book them before they go away too!

Anna has taken on the challenge of running the British London 10K again this year and will be running for The Bridge Trust who are based in Tonbridge and support the single homeless of Kent. If you would like to make a donation please go to https://www.justgiving.com/Anna-Marshall7/ Don’t forget that each edition can be found on our website with more information on many of our advertisers and news of local events. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU
