News the local

Dear Readers

After 10 years of the local Oracle, we have finally moved into an office! We are now based at 10 Churchill Square, Kings Hill so do come and visit us if you would like to discuss any advertising options. We do have new telephone numbers but our old numbers still come through. However, as we are now in the same room, there is no need to call both numbers as we will pick up each others calls and messages.

With lots of events planned for this season, please see our online calendar along with the latest online version of the local Oracle. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk.

Have a great month!

Anna & Jane
