News the local

Dear Readers We got it wrong!! Our January front cover showed a snow scene from 2011 but January 2012 proved to be mild in comparison. Unable to predict February’s weather, we decided to wish ourselves a Happy 8th Birthday! A big thank you to our advertisers, distributors and readers who has supported us over the years.

Remember Valentines Day is 14th February - if you can’t afford a new kitchen then some chocolates or flowers are the next best thing! We’ve got a chocolate shop, two florists, hair, beauty and nails for treats and many more options if you use your imagination.

Remember, you can see an up to date copy of the local Oracle on line. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane

dear anna & Jane Just a short note to thank you for all your hard work in respect of our advertising in the two editions of the local oracle which cover our chosen area as well as arranging for delivery of our leaflets. the service you provided from start to finish was excellent - keeping me informed of progress all the way and ensuring that all the leaflets were delivered as promised. the sales we have achieved to date as a direct result of our advertising in the oracle has far outweighed the cost. i will certainly continue to use you and your company again for our local advertising.
