News the local

Dear Readers

the local Oracle is 12 years old this month!

We started the local Oracle with 3,000 copies in and around Kings Hill and now have four editions with 50,000 copies each month! With over 25 businesses still with us from the very beginning we must be doing something right! Most of our advertisers have been with us for well over five years and many of those set up as a one man band and are now flourishing businesses thanks to our readers.

We have improved our format over the years and will continue to tweak things to perfection as we continue for the next 12 years! Should you have any suggestions, queries or complaints, do give us a call.

Each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category and we have a calendar with other events in the wider area if you would like to travel further afield. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU TEL
