Full Episode
This is the Planet Reigate podcast.
Hello and this is Peter Stewart, episode 49 of the aforementioned podcast across the hills, the high streets and the heats of Reigate, Redhill and Merston, Buckland, Betchworth and Brockham and also the other satellite villages across what we call the Planet Reigate area. And this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week.
And my guests, I met at a pub in Lye, and the evening involved drinks and sticks and some music. Hmm. Well, they're three members of a local group that's been going for nearly 100 years, but is set to fold before they reach their centenary, losing decades of tradition and social history. Hear from some of the East Surrey Morris men later on in the show.
In the news this week, yeah, audio clips of the councillors at that big Harlequin meeting in the Town Hall. I'll bring you up to date with the fate of that theatre and cinema building. Reigate and Redhill looting the status of Divisional Police HQ. I'll tell you why some staff are moving from Reigate Police Station to Leatherhead.
We bid farewell to the Belfry's oldest and most significant store, which closes its doors for the final time this weekend. New rules about dog walking locally are set to come to force. I'll explain what they are. The local group offering to turn grapes in your garden into authentic English wine.
And if you have a bit of time and you like things that rhyme or singing just for fun, then you could be the one to give your time for free as a Rhyme Time Helper at a local library. Details on the way. And in sport, hear about the Surrey Walking Rugby Festival that's in the area this weekend. I can't believe I did that.
Plus, we have the good time guide, of course, of events across the area across the week ahead. Planet Rygate stars from Red Hill and our 60-second soundscape before we go at the end of the show. Again, from Lye.
This is the Planet Rygate podcast with Peter Stewart.
And you'll find the time that each of those features are on the show in our show notes so you can scooch straight through to that point and also put out social media posts during the week with links that take you straight to specific parts of the show so you can follow us on Twitter, X and Facebook. and Insta to get those.
