Mother's Union, a teenage lifesaver and a ding dong over Olympic bells.
Rachel Sloane sits in for Rob Dunger with Diwali, the Mother's Union Diocesan president and an Olympic ding-dong over bell ringing plans for 2012.
Val Jeffries, Diocesan President of Suffolk Mothers Union is in the studio to review the newspapers and reflect on the work they do in Suffolk.
The international Christian charity supports families in 83 countries. In St Edmundsbury and Ipswich they have over 1150 members in 52 branches.
18 year old James Johnson from Stowmarket tells Rachel about being given the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) Lifesaver of the Year Award.
In the past 20 months James has saved the lives of two people including a man who went into cardiac arrest on the poolside whom he administered CPR to until paramedics arrived.
Philip Gorrod, chair of the Suffolk guild of ringers, explains why they won't be joining an organised ring to mark the opening of next year's Olympic games...
It was announced this week that a three minute chorus of bells will be rung out across Britain to signal the start of the first day of the London Games but the guild say the instructions from the organisers, to ring as loudly and quickly as possible, show they simply don't understand the art of church bell ringing.
