News the local
Dear Readers Once again a big thank you for your feedback and for using the local Oracle. 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 are gradually increasing the distribution area so 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. There are so many events running in the Sevenoaks area that we have put a full listing on our website under ‘local news’. We hope you can find what you are looking for. Please do continue to send in your events. 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.
