Let's tell you about a few other things which are going on. And let's stay with Saturday, first of all, because we can tell you about a new opening of a shop in the Belfry. It's called Cosmic Comics. It's going to be your local comic shop that stocks comic books, new and old.

A great range of collectibles, including action figures and Funko trading cards, including Pokemon, movie posters, movie merchandise like mugs, badges and key rings as well. Plus, Autism All-Stars are going to be at the centre for the grand opening with some of your favourite TV and movie characters as well. So that's happening Saturday between 10 and 4.

OK, let's move on to Sunday and there's the Reigate Triathlon on Sunday and it's all kind of centred on Buckland Lake on the A25.

It's going on between 9.30 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon or there or thereabouts and of course they are going to be using some local roads because as their write-up says, take a 750m open water swim in the lake followed by a scenic 20k loop on the bike around the country lanes of Reigate and the surrounding area.

finally to finish the route completes a 5k circuit around the perimeter of the lake whether you've got friends and family running or you're a local resident and want to get involved we'd love for you to come and share your support for all the runners joining us in the triathlon the more the merrier they say plenty of opportunity to see the runners out on the course they're going to need all the motivation they can get as they swim bike and run around the area uh essentially um

Yeah, passing down the old road and the old Rygate Road, Kiln Lane to Brockham, there and thereabouts. So if you're in that neck of the woods, you may want to check that out. Go along there with your bicycle bells and your cow bells and so on. And it's going to be really, really interesting for you to see all of that.

Now, if you want a specific route that they're going to be passing, then go to runthrough.co.uk.au. and then check out the events page for that, and you'll be able to see the loop and some pictures and how. If you're really desperate to join up, you can do that as well. Sunday, the 8th of September, the Quality Street Fair. Gates open at 11 through till 4.

Parking is nearby or at the station car park for $2.70. And they say, please support this historic street fair. Once again, we're raising money for two local charities. We've got a bar, eats and treats, craft stalls, archery, boxing, boxing. Thanks for watching. Also, we're back for our second Rygate Toy Fair at the Priory School Sports Hall.

Had a great busy first fair with a great range of trade, as they say. And we're going to have some more cosplayers on Sunday. Pokemon sellers, vintage toys and collectibles, board games, 80s and 90s toys, retro games, early bird entrance from 9am is going to be £2 and then free entry from 10am. So, as I say, that's the 8th of September. Got another one on November the 17th, by the way.

Reigate Priory Junior School Sports Hall. So you can get into that via Morrisons, of course. Do be aware of that maximum two-hour stay. Hands up, hands up if you've been caught out with the two-hour stay at Morrisons and have to pay a £60 fine. Yeah, you as well. Yeah. Not just me then. OK. We've got plenty more to come on this week's episode of the Planet Reigate podcast.

I'll do a little bit of casting back and looking back at some of the most successful, most listened to shows over the past 12 months. Tell you how you can get involved with the next 12 months. We've got our 60-second soundscape. We've got our Planet Reigate stars. We've got another edition of the Good Time Guide looking at events which are happening in the week ahead.

Plus, of course, we've got our main feature this week from Loveworks.

So you're joining us at the Loveworks warehouse, and you've already got some donations coming in on this Friday morning. Kate is with me. Kate, where are these donations coming from?

They're not donating the children? I hope they're not. Can we have a look and see what they are donating and what kind of things you're asking for and what kind of things people are handing over?

And also I'm really impressed and really interested that the peanut butter, for example, and some other things here, I think that looks like Waitrose packaging, but peanut butter is from Marks & Spencer's.

Absolutely, and more bags coming out. There must be probably 20, and they're going back to get some more bags as well. This is really impressive, isn't it?

That's not going to last very long, is it? I mean, there's, what, 100, 150 there, something like that?

And what kind of people are you helping? These are obviously people who've got a bit of problem with their finances at this stage. They can't afford to feed themselves and their family.

These people don't just rock up here and ask for a handout, ask for a box of food. These people who are referred officially.

So you are working with a number of other agencies to help people beyond just in the kitchen?
