News the local
Dear Readers
Great to see so many locals supporting the West Malling Christmas Festival which was a huge success for all concerned. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Many charities benefited from the day including Malling Rotary who doubled their expected takings on the day and were able to purchase two shelterboxes which will be sent to the victims of typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
With Christmas now upon us please note our amended cut of dates for January advertising and event inclusion which is much earlier than usual. Don’t forget to support your local businesses when thinking of present ideas as you never know what goodies they can provide! We wish you all a safe merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Anna & Jane
