Dear Readers

June appears to be the month of carnivals, fayres and fetes so please do go to our events page for more information. There is something to do every weekend and we have had more classes added to the weekly events too. Full details for all events can be seen on our online calendar along with the latest online version of the local Oracle just in case you want to direct a friend to certain advertisers or information. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk.

As the temperature rises towards the summer don’t forget the sun tan lotion for the family and please remember not to leave any dogs in the car without a window open and water.

Have a great month!
