Here’s a special chance for regular listeners of David Jay’s ‘Afternoon Stroll’ to put a face to the name of the special guest presenters who have been appearing on Susy Radio over the past few weeks.
Since David’s own cat Winston retired from the airwaves earlier this year other guest presenters have stepped in to help David as he keeps the music and chat flowing during his regular Afternoon Stroll.
Just recently David has been joined by ‘The Tribe’ who are three gorgeous kittens, Winston 2, Marley and Lady who belong to loyal Susy listeners Scouse Lee and Sandie from Smallfield.
Keep listening to the Afternoon Stroll with David Jay on Susy Radio for more guest presenters and quite possibly more from ‘the Tribe’ in the not too distant future.

Redhill Business Guild (RBG) held its first breakfast meeting on Wednesday 27th September at Three Central on London Road, Redhill.
RBG Breakfast Club is a series of morning business networking events that provides each delegate the opportunity to connect with other members of the Redhill business community. These events also offer the opportunity to hear from a local guest speaker about their business’s journey and experiences whilst enjoying a complimentary breakfast buffet of bacon sandwiches, pastries and fresh fruit.
Simon Bland gave the opening speech during which he expressed his love for Redhill. Following his speech the RBG Breakfast Club welcomed the Guild’s first presenter Sumi Wang, the local Redhill entrepreneur behind the eFOLDi, a collapsible mobility scooter, which won British Invention of the Year and the Reigate and Banstead Entrepreneurs Academy. eFOLDI also came runner up in the Richard Branson VOOM business awards.
Sumi and her father, who together designed and pitched the eFOLDi, had a fantastic story to share, one that reaches all the way to the Chinese National Acrobatic Troupe. Sumi provided an illuminating presentation of the eFOLDI mobility scooter.
Simon Bland, Economic Prosperity Programme Manager at Reigate and Banstead Council said: “I’m really pleased by the way the meeting has gone today, we’ve had a good turnout, a good cross section of people and all engaged really, really well, people talking to each other and I thought we had a really good presentation from for the first event.”
Borough Councillor for Redhill East, Richard Coad said: “This is a business networking breakfast with a very good representation of the Redhill businesses here, all networking together. This is something that the Redhill business community has been crying out for a long, long time, and now, one year into the Business Guild, we’re holding this fantastic event, with Sumi Wang as our guest speaker.”
Among those attending the first RBG Breakfast Club were Jerry O’Leary, Chairman of Redhill Football Club, Belfry Shopping Centre Manager Andy Nash, Vicky and Dave from VIDA Training and Alix from the Include Choir, an inclusive choir of people with and without communication, memory or learning difficulties.
Established in September 2016 and representing a wide cross-section of businesses the Redhill Business Guild promotes and improves the trading interests of all its members and welcomes all proactive businesses wishing to join the Guild to help us achieve our objectives and become a part of the Redhill business community.
