Dear Readers

Established in 2004! Yes that means we are 19 years old this month and entering our 20th year in business! The past three years have been tough to say the least, in both personal and business aspects, but we are still here!! That really is down to our advertisers, you the readers and our amazing team of distributors.

We made a huge decision this year to fo cus on just the Malling area, which covers from Kings Hill and West Malling through to Snodland and across to Aylesford, and we have increased to 19,000 copies.

As always, our team will be delivering by hand and we will also be leaving a few copies at various pick up points in the Maidstone and Tonbridge areas. We have some great new advertisers and you can also find them on the website www.thelocaloracle.co.uk and we will also be sharing information on our social media pages which can easily be found.... facebook.com/thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracleandwww.linkedin.com/ company/the-local-oracle .

Thank you for reading and supporting the local Oracle .

All the best
