And this is episode 58. Hello, welcome to our family. This is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week with me, Peter Stewart. Well, my guest this week, we speak with some of the winners and the organisers of this year's Hawley in Bloom event. Planet Rygate reporter David King was at the ceremony and we have his report coming up. And to flowers of another kind, Cara Flowers is the Managing and Artistic Director for Daisy Fest. which coordinates disability arts in Surrey. And she's the woman who put on that terrific display in the Belfry last week as part of the Arts Takeover. We'll be hearing a little bit from her a little bit later on. Oh, and by the way, if you've lived in the area for, say, 20, 30, 40 years, stay listening. I've got a surprise, a little bit of nostalgia to bring you. near the end of the show this week. In the news, when is a road outside a Reigate school dangerous enough to put in safety measures?
A petition has been started because of an impasse between the Borough Council, the County Council and local housing developers. Training sessions are set up for volunteers at Renewed Hope's winter night shelters. Yeah, that time of year already. And a call out for warm clothes for another local charity. Local people report a successful community litter pick. We'll tell you which part of the Planet Reigate area is now spic and span. A local cafe has reopened after a flood. We've got an update on Merstham Wreck and its refurb project. Local businesses start up to help parents over Halloween. A cutting-edge idea to help local armed forces veterans is being run out of Redhill. And the sad passing of a local former headmaster.
In sport, a big event this weekend at Rygate Squash Club. Another chance to learn pickleball in Priory Park. I've got the details for this weekend. Congratulations to players at Rygate Heath Golf Club. I'll tell you why. A birthday at Rygate Rugby Club. And a new local sports academy is starting up. We've got the good time guide of events across the area across the week ahead. Planet Reigate stars from Reigate. Local weather stats too. And our 60 second soundscape before we go at the end of the show. Natural sounds from a place you know this week from Earlswood Lakes. And don't forget the nostalgia if you're a long time local resident. Still to come before the end of the show too. This is the Planet Reigate podcast with Peter Stewart.
And hello, welcome to the show. I'm Peter Stewart. Cromwell Community Group in Redhill got in touch. They said, hello, I've just come across the Planet Rygate podcast and our park makeover got a mention. And they've been advising other people to have a listen as well. And they say he even mentioned my words. He is me. Thank you, CCG Management, the Cromwell Community Group in Redhill, for all you've done for your local community and giving your park a name. makeover there it's really really appreciated and also hello to my friends my new friends who I met on Monday at the high days event now high days is a group for things for the over 50s might be for the over 55s and so I went down there on on Monday and they'd invited me down I didn't just barge in and And I was invited down to give a talk on the Planet Reigate podcast and everything about it.
And we had a good old chat with Jean and her friends down there. So thank you very much indeed for making me so welcome at the Holy Trinity Church, Carlton Road in Redhill. and after that I actually went round to Spots and Stripes and spoke to John there who is organising the event which I spoke about last week which is happening in a few weeks time which is a kind of business kind of get together and playing some pool and so on and I'll tell you a bit more about that next week as well in the show. And also then I went into Belfry. I needed a new winter coat. I put on my old winter coat and the cuffs had all literally fallen apart. And I put my hands in the pockets and they tore at the seams. I look like some kind of rag and bone man. This is the Planet Reigate podcast. I'm Peter Stewart. Thank you so much indeed for the loan of your ears. Got so much coming up in our new sequence, which starts right here, right now. So let's get going.
