You would have seen that Anna recently completed a 320 mile bike ride in aid of Alzheimer’s Society as her mother had been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. Anna has dedicated her time over the past two years to looking after her and raising awareness of this awful disease. It is with much sadness that Anna’s mum, Margaret Marshall, passed away peacefully on 12th September. We would like to dedicate this edition to Margaret as she played a big part in supporting us when we first started out. She will be sorely missed. We postponed the events page until next month so if you have regular events or Christmas Fayre’s coming up, please do email the information over. A digital copy of each edition can be found on our website and social media pages so if you lose your copy of wish to share it with someone else then please just click on our website - www.thelocaloracle.co.uk. We also share additional information on our social media pages which can be found on the following links ...facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle.
• Malling 15th October
We look forward to hearing your feedback.
