News the local
Dear Readers
We hope all the runners from the Tonbridge Half Marathon have now recovered and well done to everyone who raised lots of money for local charities.
Christmas will be with us sooner than we think so now is the time to get all those little jobs done around the house and be prepared. There are lots of advertisers in the Oracle to help you from checking your boiler to cleaning or decorating your whole house.
Do remember to let us have your Christmas events for the November edition. Full details of 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. Have a great month!
