News the local

Dear Readers

The time is here already! Yes, Christmas Lights are being switched on everywhere at the end of November and early December so you either need to make some choices or just go to them all. We have listed as many as possible and you can be sure they are events for all the family. Gifts, food, drink and lots of money going to various charities so do give them your support.

There are many services listed in the local Oracle that can help to transform yourself or your home so do have a flick through.

As usual each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category and we have put a full listing on the website of local events under ‘Events’. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk And as a reminder; if you are a local photographer or just like taking nice photos of local scenes then please do send them in and we will use the most appropriate on our front cover.
