  • S12 Ep 6 - Woodley to Paris: A 12 year-old's incredible cycling journey
    Aug 7 2024

    In this episode of The RG10 Podcast, we dive into the incredible journey of Dexter Rosier, a 12-year-old with a remarkable challenge ahead. Dexter is setting off on an epic 231-mile bike ride from Woodley to Paris, aiming to reach the French capital just in time for the opening of the Paralympic Games. He's not only testing his limits but also raising £10,000 for three deserving charities: Sport In Mind, WheelPower, and Fanconi Hope.

    Join us as we explore Dexter's ambitious plan and the rigorous training he's undergone, including overcoming the painful realities of long-distance cycling. Dexter shares his experiences with hill climbs, sore legs, and the surprising struggles of a bike ride. His mother, Sam, who initially doubted the feasibility of the journey but has now joined him on this adventure, offers her perspective on the challenge and their shared experience.

  • S12 Ep 5 - Breaking Boundaries: The Rise of Thames Fusion Girls' Cricket
    Jul 24 2024

    In this inspiring episode, we delve into the world of women’s cricket with a special focus on the Thames Fusion team. We discuss the unique challenges young female cricketers face, including the competition with other sports and limited playing opportunities. Discover how the Thames Fusion initiative, born from a collaboration between Sonning Cricket Club, Reading Cricket Club, and Wargrave Cricket Club, is changing the landscape for girls in cricket.

    We hear from Ally Holloway, one of the key figures behind Thames Fusion, who shares the chaotic yet rewarding journey of creating more opportunities for young girls to play cricket. Meet two promising young cricketers, Hayley and Shrisha, who share their personal experiences of transitioning from mixed-gender teams to playing in a dedicated girls' team. Hayley, who recently moved from South Africa to the UK, talks about the enhanced opportunities and supportive atmosphere she’s found at Thames Fusion. Shrisha reflects on her growth as a player and the supportive environment fostered by the club.

    If you know anyone who is keen to get involved, get in contact with one of the three clubs at Wargrave CC, Reading CC or Sonning CC.

    Thames Fusion is sponsored by Goodall-Smith Wealth Management and Wise Owls Childcare.

  • S12 Ep 4 - What Was Twyford Like 50 Years Ago?
    Jul 10 2024

    Welcome to the RG10 podcast! In this episode, we delve into some surprising events of the past and the present in Twyford. We start with reports of recent vandalism targeting public property and a tree planting project. However, you might be surprised to learn that these issues aren't new.

    We're taking a trip back to 1974, exploring the first-ever edition of the Twyford Parish Newsletter. Unearthed from the archives of the revamped Twyford library, these newsletters give us a fascinating glimpse into Twyford's history, highlighting recurring issues such as vandalism, public behaviour, and community efforts.

    Join us as we set the scene with a bit of 1974 UK trivia, discuss significant local developments like the opening of the Twyford footbridge, and revisit long-standing community concerns from street lighting dilemmas to the struggles of local clubs. We'll also reminisce about the grand events at the Twyford Fete, including daring performances that would amaze even today’s audiences.

    Tune in for a mix of nostalgia, local history, and reflections on how some things in Twyford have changed over the past 50 years while others remain surprisingly familiar.
