We have so many local sports groups and clubs and events, from young people to senior citizens, and it's absolutely brilliant. And I was really pleased to have been invited to the Sports Awards last year, which actually happened at the Donning Sports Centre, which you'll know from last week's episode celebrates 40 years this month.

And we spoke to so many people who were there and helping grassroots sports activities right across the area. And that was in episode 27 of the Planet Reigate podcast. And would you believe it? Those sports awards have only come round again. Yet 12 award categories and a prestigious ceremony, this time at Reigate Manor. Now, they are looking for sponsorship for the event.

And also, they're looking for people to nominate sporting heroes. Somebody that's going to be given, potentially... An award. So would you like to nominate your local sporting hero? There are 12 award categories this year, including a new one, which is called Sustainability in Sport Award.

Now, as I mentioned, if you just want to kind of get a feel about those different categories and the kind of people that were nominated for them and went on to win... Then go back and listen to episode 27 of the Planet Reigate podcast and you will hear all of the details there. So nominees have got to live or be part of a club within the borough of Reigate and Banstead.

And again, you can find the details via reigate-banstead.gov.uk and then about 500 characters after that. You can look for 2025 award categories and criteria.

I'm here on top of the Bancroft Road car park looking down at Bancroft Road and last week we heard all about the musical double act Harry and Emmy Bancroft who fell in love and married and settled in Reigate after World War I and as theatres were replaced by cinemas they wanted to get in on the act so to speak.
