News the local

Dear Readers

Welcome to the September edition of the local Oracle which includes a brand new map for Kings Hill showing the recently opened Kings Hill Sports Park. If you are running events in the park and would like them listed in our events page or on the website, please do get in touch.

Whilst the holiday season is coming to an end it seems to be the beginning of the event season. Music@Malling takes place at the end of the month and brings homegrown talent as well as international artists to the historical venues in and around West Malling. See centre pages and website for the full details. Another option is The Family Social in Mote Park which features some more well known popular artists.

You will also see a big thank you from Music On The Hill who donated a huge ÂŁ80,000 to their chosen charities.

Why are fruits & vegetables so important for our & our children's health?

Scientific research has proved that antioxidants nutritional elements naturally contained in fruits & vegetables can help protect us from potentially damaging effects of free radicals & excessive stress, helping us to maintain our health & live longer. Antioxidants are in charge of strengthening our immune system, neutralising free radicals.

Why Juice Plus+?

We all need to eat more fruit & vegetables..... The World Health Organisation recommends we eat at least 5 portions a day. Juice Plus, established over 20 years, is the convenient & inexpensive way to add more whole-based nutrition to our daily diet. It contains 26 different fruits, vegetables & berries.

Do your children have enough fruit & vegetables?

There are chewies available for children (aged 3-18) which contain 13 different fruits & vegetables.

For more information please contact Sean 07971 951413 www.seanjuiceplus.co.uk or email info@seanjuiceplus.co.uk
