local Business set up By local girls - Part 3!

We hope you have had the opportunity to read the last two editions where we have shared with you some of the background to the local oracle. if not, a quick recap! We set up the local oracle in 2004, initially to help the people moving into the rapidly growing development at Kings hill. however, we soon realised that it would be of interest to the wider local community and we are pleased that we have been able to continue to increase the area during the past seven years. We now cover the following areas: Kings hill/West malling edition: also covering addington, Birling, halling, holborough, larkfield, leybourne, mereworth, offham, ryarsh, snodland & Wateringbury with a monthly distribution of 15,000 copies. allington, aylesford, Barming & ditton edition with a monthly distribution of 10,000 copies.

Paddock Wood/tonbridge edition: also covering hadlow, east Peckham, Five oak green & matfield with a monthly distribution of 11,000 copies.

We have a great team of distributors who deliver the local oracle to you by hand whether it is rain or shine so please do say hello to them. in fact, we both still have our own distribution areas to cover and you will see us in our flat shoes running round (well maybe not running!). during the past seven years in business we have seen small businesses grow and it gives us great pleasure to talk with all our advertisers and see how the local oracle has helped them. We can tell that the local oracle has worked for them, not only because we see sign written vans around the area but also because a large proportion of our advertisers have been very loyal to us and have continued to renew their adverts year after year. along with our advertisers, we also have a free events listing page and useful numbers for the local area. if you belong to a group who are putting on events or would like more members, then please do let us know and we will advertise this for you.

For those of you who know us, you will know that we try to be

active members of the local community and we enjoy networking - be it with or without alcohol!! anna has recently joined a new local networking group and if anyone would be interested in attending, please do give her a call (01732 844246). if you decide to join the group as a guest of anna, we will give you a ÂŁ20 discount off of any advert with us. all our business is done through networking and recommendations and, although we may give our advertisers gentle reminders, we do not put pressure on anyone.

We are always looking at ways to improve the local oracle so please do send in suggestions.

We like to feature local photos on our front cover so please do keep them coming in. For the december edition we traditionally ask children to send in their drawings and we will choose the best design. if you can contemplate thinking about christmas yet, please do get any children you have to start drawing!! anna and Jane

issue 81 October 2010 dear readers as the autumn arrives, now is the time to sort out the garden ready for the colder weather and we are sure you will find plenty of advertisers in the local oracle to assist. We have many new advertisers this month which is quite exciting so please do have a flick through and see if they can be of use to you. may we also remind you that you can see this whole edition on line so if you are working in london and have forgotten to arrange to use one of our advertiser, you will find all their details at a glance. see www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising or free event listings are as follows: Kings Hill/west malling edition: 20th of the month Ditton, aylesford and allington edition: 25th of the month Paddock wood/tonbridge edition: 25th of the month thank you to James rowland who sent his photo in for our front cover. if you wish to have your photos of local sights or seasonal scenes featured on the front cover, please email to info@thelocaloracle.co.uk. thank you for reading and using the local oracle.
