What could be better? What a great way. A record amount of money was taken, well into five figures they tell me, and it's all going to be distributed over the next few weeks. The two main charities, the local air ambulance for Surrey and also Prostate Cancer Charity, are going to get the bigger share and other smaller causes getting the rest as well.
So our friends over there say thank you to all the local businesses and individuals who sponsored the festival, all the volunteers who helped as well. Thanks to the Wilden Cave and Mine Society and Robert Albert for hosting the event and helping so much as well.
And they say planning is already starting for next year's festival, and they would welcome any fit and able-bodied volunteers to help behind the bar, serving and pulling pints, if you'd like to put your name down for that. There are worse places to help out than a beer festival, aren't there? Info at redhillredstonerotary.org.
robert at info at redhillredstonerotary.org for that one surrey fire and rescue service say that due to the general election announcement they're entering a pre-election period yeah so therefore their community risk management plan consultation which we mentioned a few weeks ago on the show has got a pause it's a legal requirement until the 5th
of july it'll then reopen for the remaining nine weeks so that'll be 12 weeks in total so you've got a while to think about it before you could actually uh yeah and go through until the 6th of september and as i say we mentioned that review a few weeks ago on the show This from Charlewood Parish Council, a warning for dog walkers using the withy at Hookwood Memorial Hall or around there.
They say the parish council has been made aware of some cases of dogs becoming unwell after being walked there. They've had three recent reports of dogs experiencing seizures. Unfortunately, they say we've got no evidence pointing to what might be causing the dogs to get unwell.
Some people have reported the area is sometimes used for substance abuse, and it is known, they say, that marijuana and other recreational substances are toxic to dogs and cats. There have also been reports of some people putting out poison to kill foxes, which obviously isn't going to do a whole lot of good for dogs and cats. However, rodenticides...
Lead and chocolate can also cause seizures in dogs. I don't think in my entire life I've ever said the word rodenticides before. But there it is. I've now said it twice in 30 seconds. They say there's no need to panic. If you do walk your dog in the withy, please be careful. Keep an eye on them. Make sure they're not eating or sniffing anything that they shouldn't. Word to the wise.
Also, this message as well. Someone thinks this is funny to create a fire risk on grass in public places in Memorial Park. Yeah, what someone has done apparently over the last week, 10 days, they may have gone now by the time you listen to this, but they've covered up the no fire signs with other signs that say it's a barbecue party area. Which is extraordinary, isn't it?
But also, they've mocked up the sign with the Ryker and Banstead Borough Council logo on to make it look official. Now, the issue has been reported to the council, so I'm sure they've taken down those notices and they're probably keeping a weather eye to make sure that similar ones don't go up again. But those signs say, Barbecue Party. There's a big picture of a barbecue there.
And underneath it says, Please Barbecue Safely. By order, Reigate and Banstead Council. So the layout, the design doesn't look official despite the use of that official logo. But yeah, it's a bit daft, isn't it? We could do without that kind of mayhem.
Now, we don't regularly do news from outside the planet Reigate areas for obvious reasons, as you know, because if we do start talking about other news, then we do stand the possibility of being swooped on by a fire-breathing dragon. We stick to RH1, 2 and 3.
But in line with our stated aims on our website, if there is something happening out there which affects us here, then we will give it a mention. We rarely do it, but, yeah, we can do. Now, as you know, the Harlequin Theatre is closed for the foreseeable because of that crumbly concrete rack. And I mentioned recently how the other local theatre just up the road, Dorking Halls,
was undergoing a refurb over the summer till September. You know, in case you were using that for your auditorium-based culture fix instead. But now news it's going to be closed not till September, but till December instead. Yeah, tests have confirmed the ceiling paint there contained lead. which, of course, is a health and safety risk if it's disturbed.
So they're going to close it till December, and they reckon the first live show to take place there will be the Christmas pantomime. Now, events planned for the autumn may be held at alternative venues and rescheduled. Where have you heard this before? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a phone call this week from Mull Valley District Council to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council saying...
How did you do that pantomime? Where's hiring out big tops? If I was Riker and Bandstead, I'd be booking up that big top pretty quickly, just in case Mole Valley get their hands on it instead. Mole Valley Council saying staff will contact customers individually to confirm alternative plans, rearrange bookings or arrange refunds as necessary.
And during the summer, the venue has organised events at other locations and in Meadow Bank Park. Richard says, I'm trying to get information for a family whose surname is Tribe. Charles Frederick Tribe, T-R-I-B-E, served in World War I and he's buried in France. He's got his name on the cross at the recreation ground in Hawley.
And Michael says, I found out quite a bit, but I'd love to know more names associated with this family. would really help and be greatly appreciated if you know anything. So there seems to be some kind of holy link with the tribe family. Get in touch with me and I'll put you in touch with Michael and together you can work out what information you've got that he would like.
News on socials this week that a gentleman by the name of Jimmy Bridger has passed away at the age just shy of 96 years of age. Well, there are lots of memories of Jimmy. Turns out he was the owner with his wife, Joan, of a sweet shop in Bell Street in Reigate. And before that, Lattie's Cafe and sweet shop in his younger days in Redhill. So if you're of a certain age...
then you may remember one or both of those particular shops. Apparently, he seemed a really popular man and always had time for everyone. And many children from the Priory School popped in to the sweet shop in Bell Street before and after school. If that was you, and you're spending a lot of time at the dentist nowadays, now you know.
