Dear Readers Wow; what a month this has been! As you can see, we have been busy giving the local Oracle a new image and one which we hope you like. We think we have made things easier to find so we welcome your feedback. Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales t: 01732 525805 Anna Artwork/Sales t: 01732 525806 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the August editions are: • Sevenoaks 18th July • Malling 20th July • Maidstone 25th July • Tonbridge 25th July

You will see that we have put all our BUSINESS ADVERTISERS together, we have a HOME AND GARDEN section and then PERSONAL AND LEISURE. The category boxes are still at the back of the publication but in a format that helps you a little more. The next month or so will be all about the website which will be totally revamped again in the hope that it will be easier to find what you are looking for and support the local businesses that are there and ready to work for you. All editions can be found on our current website www.thelocaloracle.co.uk and you can find day to day changes for events or advertisers on facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle. Have a great July and we look forward to receiving your feedback and interacting with you on social media if that works for you.
