Dear Readers

We have been promising changes for the past few months and are now excited to tell you about our new

website that will be launcing in April 2013. It will give you the opportunity to search by service and post-

code as well as being able to put on testimonials about an advertiser you have used. Each advertiser will

have their own page to describe their services and link to their website or social media pages along with

photos if applicable.

Events will be listed on a special calendar and we will have hot, up to date topics from local businesses.

Whilst the final touches are being added our current site is not available but online copies of the latest edi-

tions can be found on our Facebook Page. www.facebook.com/thelocaloracle

Whilst we both now have Twitter accounts, Jane has now got the hang of it and is

actually spreading the local news like wild fire! You can follow her at thelocaloracle.
