Robin, thank you for taking your time to put those in writing, those particular ideas, on various social media over the course of the week. Donna got in touch as well and she said... The Belfry have also confirmed they're in talks with national retailers about the M&S store when that goes. So we should also be seeing some new shops there as well. Yeah, it will take time.
These things do, but they will get there. Donna continues, I'd personally like to see more support from locals on recognising the positive developments that have happened over the year... and particularly with some recognition to the Belfry for how much they bring to the town. The car park is cheap, well-maintained and easy to drive around. The centre is almost full.
People need to stop suggesting they're empty because I think there are only two or three empty units that last count. And perhaps more importantly, they're always putting on community events and commemorating important days, which...
above and beyond their expectations as a shopping centre well you know me I love Reigate but I really am pretty fond of Redhill as well as I've said before my first house my first flat I should say let's not get above myself it was my first flat was in Redhill so I'm well aware of Redhill I've walked around it I know the area I've been to the shops there I was at the opening I
of the the belfry uh when it was opened i was reporting there i interviewed joanna lumley who cut the ribbon so i'm really fond of of the belfry anti-nash doing some brilliant things there because as donna was saying He doesn't actually have to. It's beyond Andy's remit, who is the guy in charge of the Belfry.
It's beyond his remit to open it up to things like the Harlequin, to put on various events there on the ground floor, to put the photographic exhibitions there, to put up the banners there, and to have all of those other kind of exhibitions and events there. He's going above and beyond because he sees it as a social space. And that, I think, is why so many shops are there in the Belfry.
So we really need to support the Belfry and the other shops in the town centre as well and the light. It's that ripple effect, isn't it? And certainly the car park is always clean. I'm not entirely sure about the piped music through the car park. It has to be said. Is it easy to drive around? Is it easy? I always love coming down that kind of spiral, yeah, when you come out in the car.
It's quite tight, isn't it? You've got to be careful at the end. You don't drive over that little bit of pavement. But, yeah, and I still remember when it was one-way system round when you came out of the belfry in the car. So I've always got to kind of remember that. No, no, it's two-way now. It's two-way now. And Pat says, Don and Matthews totally agree with you.
I'm fed up with so much criticism of new ideas and developments from the very same people who moan about the lack of facilities in the town or the comparison between Redhill and Reigate. They're totally different towns to each other. And that's a good thing because there's more choice for shopping. Redhill has always been a large commercial town.
There are some issues that need to be controlled, but there are a lot of people working on this, but they need the help and support of locals too. Without that support, nothing will change. And the new management of the Belfry is already showing signs of improvement, which will only benefit us all. Pat, really great to hear from you as well. Spoke about this in last week's show.
We've kept the conversation going on social media as well. And indeed, I should say that it's really good to hear from everyone with all sorts of views about all sorts of parts of the planet Reigate area.
All sorts of stuff still to come on the Planet Rygate podcast, including, yeah, the Good Time Guide. All sorts of things happening across our area. And as you know, it's split into two parts. We do... Saturday and Sunday, first of all. A little bit later on in the show, we'll bring you the events for the rest of the week. And if you want to mention for your event, do get in touch.
You can fill out the form you'll find on theplanetrygatepodcast.com. Give us a couple of weeks' notice. And also, I'm always going to look a little bit more kindly on charities and non-profit events. And also, this is a bit cheeky, but you understand where I'm coming from. If you give some kind of, yeah, acknowledgement, you actually listen to the show, yeah?
So, you know, kind of drop a few hints in there that you like the show. And so I'm going to go, yeah, all right, okay, I'll help them out. I've only got a limited number of slots, only a limited amount of time. So chat me up. That's what I'm saying. Chat me up. It's been a while since I was chatted up. I could, yeah. Okay, reciprocity. That's what they call it, isn't it? Okay, here we go.
Moving on. Saturday, the 8th of June. We've got all sorts of things going on. Let's start off with the, well, it's a big 150th church anniversary. So congratulations to them, everyone, at Merstham Baptist Church on Weldon Way. They've got a free barbecue, face painting, children's activities, events, a prayer tent. Everyone welcome.
So much more going on between 1 and 4 at Mercedham Baptist Church. Do you want to know how to boost your gut health? Then you can go along to a lunch rich in gut-healthy goodness and find out all sorts of things. You get a five-course healthy gut-tasting menu. And also, you'll learn about the best foods for improving your gut health. The difference between probiotics and prebiotics.
And it's not just a vowel. Which foods harm your gut and which ones to avoid. The best and worst diets for your gut. And tips for healthier guts that you can easily do. I don't think I've said the word gut quite as often as I have in the last 30 seconds. It's 12 o'clock on Saturday, St John's Community Centre in Redhill. To book your spot, head over to thecopperpotclub.co.uk.
Merstam Movies is on Saturday. They're going to be showing Trip to Paradise with, I reckon that's, is that Julia Roberts and George Clooney? And it's rated 12A. It's almost like I've got it written down here. Adult tickets £4, children's £2. Still some tickets available. You can buy those tickets in person. at The Hub, Monday to Friday, 9.30 to 3.30. And it's a community cinema, OK?
So it's a unique experience, is what they say. There's no cushy cinema chairs. No-one's going to bring you food and drinks to where you're sitting down. So bring your own cushion, is what they suggest. Also, Rygate Caves Open Day is this coming Saturday. Check out rygatecaves.org.uk for opening times and prices. I think you usually have to reserve a time. Now, I've done one set of the caves.
Did that, I think, last year. I haven't done the Barrens Caves, I don't think ever. But I've done the main caves at Tunnel Road a couple of three times now, I think. Family Quiz Night on June the 8th, so that'll be Saturday then, 6.30 to 10.30 at St John's Community Centre, Church Road in Redhill.
