What is the focus of this week's Planet Reigate episode?
Hello, welcome to your Planet Reigate podcast. So this, Planet Ears, is how we're reflecting and celebrating our love of life around here this week in consecutive weekly episode 77 with me, Peter Stewart. Well, this week we hear from Helen and Vicky, who met 20 years ago when they were both in East Surrey Hospital Maternity Ward. They're not only great friends, but also friends. kind of business partners as well. I'll explain more a little bit later on in this week's show. In the news, what's the future of the post office and village shop in Betchworth? We have news of big changes for the convenience store there. A new beer has been developed by one of our local breweries.
What significant changes are happening in the Reigate area?
Details later why administrators from a local Facebook group have had to ban several people this past week. In the Good Time Guide, news of a local litter pick. how your kids can learn woodland crafts and cook campfire treats in Earlswood over the next few weeks. Plus, a local repair cafe goes on the road and comes to Betchworth. Details on the way. A new dog tracking exercise takes place in Earlswood soon. Sounds intriguing. I'll explain more a little bit later on. And a local choral society put on a free show of a piece of work They've only just learned earlier on in the day. Later on, how you can get involved both as a singer and as a watcher as well. Plus, Planet Reigate stars this week. Praise for a local night bus hero.
Catherine from Reigate tells us what she loves about living life around here in the best bit of Britain in our roulette feature and our 60-second soundscape. Before we go, at the end of the show, natural sounds from a place you know. This week... one of our local lakes.
This is the Planet Reigate podcast with Peter Stewart.
Yeah, the return a little bit later on of Rygate Roulette. Yeah, our friendly in-house robot Roberta asking questions of someone who lives locally about what they love about living here. The best bit of Britain, the planet Rygate area of Rygate, Redhill, Merston, Buckland, Betchworth, Brockham, down to Charlewood and over to Hookwood and also outward as well. and obviously we include Hawley in that too. Wherever you're listening to the Planet Reigate podcast, you're really welcome along. And yeah, we're going to be asking Catherine this week what makes this area home for her and her recommendations for the best things to do and places to go. I was talking to Ben last week, it was about 10 days ago at time of recording, I was speaking to Ben, caught up with him for coffee and we had a chat about all sorts of things, about AI and
and about the podcast as well and he mentioned that he was getting married at St Michael's Church in Betchworth and I said yeah yeah did you hear our feature on that on the show and he said no what was that I said Well, it's the church, yeah, that's featured in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Yes, yeah, he knew that, that's quite famous. But I said, back in episode 35, I actually went round the church and talked about some of the famous plaques and memorials and carvings and the font and the doors and the war memorial and the big oak wooden chest and all sorts of things that you can actually see in the first, what, ten minutes of Four Weddings and a Funeral. in that church and he said that's a brilliant idea thanks so much he said i haven't heard that i will hear that and also what's more he said i'm going to send that link to all of my guests who are going to be there on the wedding day so they can hear a little bit more about the church before they turn up which i thought was fantastic
And it occurred to me afterwards that actually also what they could do is, if that code was a kind of QR code in the order of service, while they're waiting for the bride to arrive, a lot of people could actually put in their little earbuds and actually listen and look around the church. Is that a bit too far for a wedding? Perhaps they don't want to do that. Anyway, it was a great idea.
