This is the Planet Reigate podcast.
Hello, Planeteers. This is Peter Stewart with this week's edition of the all-new, all-local Planet Reigate podcast. And this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week. Well, the second annual Reigate cyclocross event comes to Priory Park in a couple of weeks with
Various races with several hundred riders on trails up through the woods there at the back of Priory Park. I've been to walk the course with event director Sean Lamberth. Hear our conversation a little bit later on. And this coming week is Heath Week. Hear my report from Reigate Heath, the flora and fauna and archaeological finds. How it got to be a heath in the first place.
Some of the more unusual trees, birds and animals you may be able to spot there as well. In the news this week, a discussion about the future of the Harlequin happened at a council meeting. If you couldn't go this week, we have some of what was said on the webcast later on in the show and your reaction to it as well. Pilgrim Brewery have been given the thumbs up for big changes at their Rygade HQ.
I'll tell you what's going to happen. Additional information regarding a potential new school, a wood hatch place. I'll outline what that is all about. Reaction to the various road closures in Reigate this week and some of the circuitous routes drivers were taking. Parents of children at Sandcross School have started a petition. I'll tell you what all that is about.
Work at the hospital may mean that if you visit this weekend... You could be slightly delayed. How your community group can get their hands on free money. Gatton Park is after volunteer gardeners. Details on the way. What is a memory box? I'll tell you. And how you can help create one for a local charity. Updates on Rygate's Rose Room Tea Shop. Earlswood's Joshua Tree Restaurant.
And Red Hill's Hangar 9 Cafe. How you could be the area's official poet laureate. And I thought you may want to know what pupils at Donata have been tasked with doing over the summer holidays. In sport, we feature rounders Pickleball and Badminton. Of course, we've got the good time guide of events across the area across the week ahead. Planet Reigate stars are several strangers in Charlewood.
And our 60-second soundscape before we go at the end of the show this week from Cormungers Lane.
