Welcome to the September edition of the local Oracle; we hope you had a great Summer and those of you with children enjoyed the extended holidays. We expect many of you will be glad of some peace and quiet and can get on with all those jobs you need doing round the house! We have plenty of advertisers ready to take on your jobs and 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 at the back of the publication give you information on ALL of our advertisers. Our website is now very close to completion and we are hoping will be up and running by the end of September. It’s an exciting change for us and we hope you like it too. 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.
