SEVENOAKS

News the local

Dear Readers Wow! What a response to our first edition in the Sevenoaks area. Thank you for your emails and comments welcoming us into your homes. We have some new advertisers too this month so we are really chuffed. A big thank you from us both.

For those of you browsing through we thought we ought to highlight the fact that every colour advert has an A-Z box in the category section so if you are looking for something specific, you can also go to this section at the back of the book to find out exactly what you are looking for.

We have delivered most of the Oracles ourselves this month which confirmed to us what a beautiful town Sevenoaks is. However, we would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to join our team of distributors. Call us today on 01732 525805/6.

Each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category.

In addition to this you can find events listed in the printed version and online so do visit the page if you wish to find out what’s on in your area or indeed give us a call/email if you wish to have your event listed free. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk If you are a local photographer or just like taking nice photos then please do send them in and we will use the most appropriate on our front cover.
