Dear Readers Hot, hot, hot! What amazing weather we have had over the past few weeks! We hope you have managed to get some outdoors time whether it is sitting with friends and family or taking a nice long walk, run or even swim at Leybourne Lakes! 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 August editions are: • Malling 15th July • Maidstone 20th July • Tonbridge 20th July

We started the local Oracle 18 years ago to cater for new people moving into Kings Hill. Obviously we have expanded since then but we have had a few requests for us to include the Kings Hill map again. It is an easy place to get lost so you will find it on page 5; keep it safe! (This is the most recent map available at the moment.) We have some new advertisers and many established businesses that are ready to offer you their services. What is the point of struggling with a job when you can call in the experts? All editions can be found on the website each month if you lose your copy or wish to share with someone else www. thelocaloracle.co.uk. We will be also be sharing information on our social media pages which can easily be found.... facebook. com/thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle.

All the best to you all and have a great month.

Join the KHFC Business Partnership Do you represent a business in Kent that would like to support our local community football club and build relationships with some fantastic people? We created the business partnership in 2019 and now have members from over 40 organisations. This grew throughout lockdown and we now meet on a monthly basis alternating between online zoom sessions and face to face lunches at local venues and offices. The Partnership helps generate much needed funds for the club and came together to sponsor the ‘Jets’ team for players with special education needs (SEN) as-well as generating required funds for the frame football team.
