This is the Planet Reigate Podcast.
Hello, this is Peter Stewart. Thank you so much indeed for joining me for this week's episode of the Planet Reigate Podcast. It is episode 51 for Saturday the 31st of August. So this is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week.
Well, we've been down to the Red Hill Cruise of classic cars and spoken to the organiser and some of those taking part in a colourful and quite a noisy display. Hear more about that a little bit later on. Plus, we start our mini-series on the life of Samuel Palmer. Now, Sam was a local artist who became world famous, but essentially only after his death.
This week, his dubious love affair, his disreputable father, and his debtor of a brother. Yeah, Sam's story on the way, ahead of a display of his work at Adams Gallery in Reigate from September the 19th. In the news, we have the dates for the next council meeting about the Harlequin, the local play areas, which are next up for a refurb.
A cafe in Merstham is closing down, I'll tell you why, plus advance notice on a local Apple fair. an arts takeover week coming to Redhill and a professional songwriting workshop as well. Plus, of course, we've got the good time guide of events across the area over the week ahead. Planet Rygate Stars comes from Woodhatch and our 60-second soundscape before we go.
At the end of the show, this week, Buckland, St Mary's Churchyard there and the sound of Blackbird, Robin, Blue Tits and Missile Thrush.
This is the Planet Rygate Podcast.
First of all, though, we'll take a look at the correspondence which has come in over the past several days. Martin has been giving us an update on the roads around the Aerodrome Driving Test Centre. Now, if you haven't heard, Martin's a driving instructor who complained to the council about overgrown verges, obscured signs, worn-out road markings...
saying it was dangerous and unfair for the drivers to be tested on such stretches of roads. And we reported on his complaints and how we then got a response from the county council, who then met him on site to see the issues. And now I say we've got an update. And he says, again, a massive big thanks to you and the fantastic Planet Reigate podcast.
