Sutton Voices HR1 Podcast

I caught up with our Rector, Paul Roberts who is currently on a pilgrimage from Dover to the St Bernard's Pass in Switzerland.  Paul is walking approx 1,100 kilometres (683 miles).  He talks through what a Pilgrimage means to him, his family and all in the Maund Group of Churches in Herefordshire, here in England.  So far he has walked 300kms (186miles).  Paul also tells us about his study of military history complete with his podcast series "Just A Walk in The Sun".  You can follow Paul's daily progress on the web by searching for "The Loafing Pilgrim" and if you wish can help him with the costs through his blog. 

Mike wasn't able to join me today.  Importantly he will be back for our next episode.

Biology and Curry?  Yes it is Nick Howe.  Nick gives us a fascinating insight into his biological work around the world.   There are only 24 hours in a day and Nick certainly makes the most of every hour he has.   He talked us through his views on his approach to life and the life skills he has gained.  Finally Nick tells us  about his passion for cooking and whom he admires.  His currys are excellent! 

Nick thank you for coming and spending some of your time for one of our podcast episodes. 

Happy listening everyone!

Simon (or Norm to his friends!) and Alex shine a light on what makes a  Sports Club GREAT!  Simon takes us through the Club's history, and its values.   Alex tells us all about the work the Club has and continues to do with children and young people as well as the adults and the rugby teams including the First 15.  

A fascinating insight into how a Club has grown and means so much to the thousands who are involved... 

Happy Listening!

Meet Ben who is a Senior Case Officer in a current serving MP's Office.   We are not taking political sides in this podcast!  We thought we would listen to Ben and better understand what he does.  We  hear about some of the requests from constituents that come into an MP's office asking for help.  You will be surprised at what people ask an MP to help them with.  Importantly we find out how a hard working MP often provides that last opportunity for a member of their constituency when in dire need. 

Thought provoking and we hope you will find very interesting...

Clare first discovered a few facts about the Herefordshire Suffrage Campaign when working for the Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust.  At that time she had considered writing a book about it and like many of us with busy lives, it is often the case of, I will start it tomorrow!  Then the pandemic arrived so Clare decided to research the Herefordshire Suffrage Campaign and wrote a book now available 'Hard Work - But Glorious'. 

You can hear what Clare discovered and wrote about after many, many hours of research at the Hereford Archive Centre. 

Well Done Clare!
