News the local
Dear Readers
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We hope you have all had an enjoyable Christmas. If you are now trying to get rid of some of the pounds you have put on then we do have advertisers who can help you! We will be celebrating TEN years of the local Oracle next month and can’t believe where the time has gone! We have had some great support over the years and still have advertisers who were with us from the first year. We are proud that we have helped small businesses establish themselves in the area.
We haven’t been able to include the Events Page this month but details will be included on our website. If you have any events for 2014 do let us know so that we can help publicise them for you. We plan to bring back the Events Page next month! Anna & Jane
