Dear Readers
Wimbledon, Olympics and more events than we can actually fit on our events page are all there ready
for your entertainment. We have built up a few connections over the years so have been able to book
the sun for July and August! We are certainly ready for it.
A quick reminder that each issue of the local Oracle is on our website www.thelocaloracle.co.uk so if you
get to work and need to call one of our advertisers in an emergency it is there to help you.
Thank you to all our followers on Facebook - please continue to ‘like’ us (and we will ‘like’ you back) and
receive updates on what we are doing. It’s always good to keep in touch.
