News the local

Dear Readers

The final countdown is now here for Christmas and we bring you the December edition to enable you to make those calls for last minute jobs in the house before the family desend upon you!

Our events page is back so you can find lots of things to do over the festive period too.

Both ourselves and advertisers are grateful for the support you have given the local Oracle and if there are trades you would like to see or can recommend one or two that you think should be included, then we would love to hear from you.

In the meantime, we both wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe happy New Year.

Each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category and we have a calendar with other events outside Sevenoaks 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
