  Speaker 1: This is Kevin's Sports Ferrite Daily, bringing you the Folkston
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a high sports show right here on one oh five
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: point nine Radio Folkston. Now, I've been on my travels
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: which took me to Hastings with Missus Ferret, Sue Elkins
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and her three grandchildren, and then we went off to Clacton,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: just me and Missus Ferret. Actually we left the grandkids
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in Folkston after a lovely time, I might add, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I went down there for the weekend where I compared
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the Carnival Half Marathon and ten K. So I've been
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: away a bit from a local sport of a few
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: bits to tell you about.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: On today's show.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We've got some cricket news, running stories, Hockey up Day
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and a bit of football and a few celebrity birthdays
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I've picked up on. So so let's start the show
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: with a suitable weather related song. Now it looks like
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the very hot weather has gone, doesn't it, And it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: looks like well we are due for some rain, let's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: face it, and if everybody needs it, the garden, the farmers,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: absolutely everybody. So sit back and enjoy this track from
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics. Here comes the rain. Again
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and let and yourhythmix. There here comes the rain again.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Well we have been lucky, haven't we. There's two ways
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of looking at it, really. I mean, we do need the.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Rain, this for sure.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But looking back on a personal note, and we came
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: back from Cyprus to the end of May, we left
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the hot weather and normally we come back to grizzly,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: old English weather. But it's been lovely ever since, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it's just been brilliant. I can't remember the last time, well,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: let me think seventy six was it the hot summer.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But I was kind of hoping that the hot weather
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: would stay like it until the end of the school
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: holidays at least, and so that the families that have
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: been looking forward to a break all year round can
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: get away and enjoy themselves. But it might just break
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Next week looked a bit stormy. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: think we're all right for the weekend. But the English
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: people love nothing more than talking about the weather, didn't they.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You know, if you bump into someone that you haven't
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: seen for a while, Oh it's a really nice day in.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It, or it's cold. You know, typical US English, isn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it so?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But one sport that has benefited from the weather though
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's probably been really really hot out there on a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Saturday is cricket, so we're going to do some cricket
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: news now. Folkston first eleven. We'll start with them now.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They lost away at Canterbury by one hundred and forty
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: eight runs. Canterbury won the toss and decided to bat
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: two batsmen, Billy Amouche and Isaac Dilkes, causing all the damage,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: scoring one hundred and seven runs each, yes each. Their
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: final score was three hundred and twenty for eight. Folks
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: are managing just one hundred and seventy two, so not
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a good day for Folkston. This week gets a home
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: game against the Bickley Park who come from Bromley. Hawkins
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: were put into bat by Sherwood Cricket Club and scored
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: two hundred and one for six. They then dismissed Sherwood
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty two, so Hawkins won a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: game by thirty nine runs. And Saturday sees and away
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: trip to at Westgate on Sea. I've traveled to Faversham.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: They batted first, made one hundred and fifty three all out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Faversham scored one hundred and fifty seven for just seven
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wickets and won the game by three wickets. On Saturday
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: High they're away once more as they visit Saint Margaret's Cosmopolitan.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Hide Green won the toss and put Warmer Green.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Into bat, who scored a respectable two hundred and fifty
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: one for eight. However, hide Green had a good day
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with the bats, scoring two hundred and fifty four for six,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: winning the game by four wickets.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: This week they're at.

• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Saltword by two wickets. Saltward batted first, scoring one hundred
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and seventy one all out, but Tended and made one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two for eight, so winning the game.

  Speaker 1: by seven wickets. Saturday, they're on the road again, this
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: time visiting Elyn Cricket Club, which is near Maystone.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Last week our six teams well it was two wins
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and four defeats, so let's hope for a bit better
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. The weather for the weekend is looking sunny
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with a gentle breeze, but there's a big a few
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: clouds looming for next week, so we might get that rain.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It's got to come at some point, isn't it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Now Keep an eye on social media and things that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: going on in the music world.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I've come across a lady that is actually six. She
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was sixty eight.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: This week, and that was Madonna. Now Madonna, she's the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: best selling female music artist of all time. And you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know Madonna is I always thought it was a stage name,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but her actual name is Madonna Luis Chicono, so they go,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to change your name.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to play a song for her.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Birthday, and this goes back to nineteen eighty six. She
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: really sort of hit the headlines around about the nineteen eighties,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: didn't she. And some of her early stuff was really good.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I really loved it. And this is one of my favorites.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: This is a Papa don't Preach Madonna from nineteen eighty six,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Papa don't preach. So happy birthday to you, Madonna. She
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was sixty eight last week right, so well locally, I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: mean i haven't been around much just lately. I've spent
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a week in Hastings with Sue and her grandkids. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I've had the busy weekends, you see, I've had two
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: busy Sundays. On the ninth of August, I was on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the MIC at the Mount Ephram ten k where three
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hundred runners took part. Now Mount Ephram, it was a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: hot It was a hot day and the course was hilly,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you know, two things that make it really tough for runners,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: but everybody seemed to enjoy it. Oliver Reagan from Thanic
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Road Runners was first across the line in the time
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of thirty seven minutes forty eight seconds, and first female
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was Ruby Jones, also from the Thane Club, in forty
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: minutes and five seconds. Local runners James Barney ran forty
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: two two, Katrina Peak ran one hour and ten minutes
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and Dean Patterson one hour seventeen minutes. They were all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: from the Folkston Club, John Clayson from South Kent Harriers
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he ran fifty three fifty eight and Rona Fry from
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the Folkston Optimist Hockey Club. She run one hour and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: six minutes and it was really nice to see. Rona
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and Katrina haven't seen him for a while and they're
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: getting ready for the Great North Run. And now they've
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: done it before so they know what it's like. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all I've never been up there indicates they've never watched
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it at all. But I do remember my partner Sue
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: ran it one year and it poured down for the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: whole race and the people were offering her water and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: her friend Pam, and all they wanted was a nice
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: cup of hot chocolate or soup to.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Warm them up.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So I hope the weather's nice for you, Rona and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Katrina when you do your Great North Run. And I'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sure we'd be talking about that a bit more before
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you go. Now back to Mount Ephram. The start and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: finish were in the lovely grounds of the Mount Ephram
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and at the end of the race the run, because
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it was so hot, the runners were just looking for
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: shade underneath the trees. The nice race team put on
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a great show. We've run director Meil Powell at the Helm.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Then the following Sunday I was at the Clacton Half
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Marathon ten k race, which was just last weekend, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this was organized by the Clacton Carnival Committee in partnership
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: with the Nice Work Event team. Now, the start finished
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to this one was it's kind of very similar to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Folks for the Folks Half Marathon.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: If you like.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It was sat on a cliff top promenade and very
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: similar to the Lees as it dropped down onto a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: lower promenade than it hugged the coastline. With near total
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of nearly eight hundred runners and there was a fun
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: run which was at about fifty or so and that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere is absolutely brilliant, you know, Rachel, she got
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: everybody motivated, got the kids wound up and the parents
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: wound up as well. And Amaisu was the tail walker runner,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but she was I can't remember his name, but she
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was running with a little lad he was only about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: five and his dad, and she was telling me he
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was a real character. He was cheering everybody on and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he saved a little sprint for the last few yards
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: across the line and he got a massive cheer. All
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in all, it was a really busy day well as
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you can imagine. It attracted mainly runners from Essex clubs,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: some coming down from It's Witch Harrich Felix Dowe and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: whilst not expecting any runners from our area, I saw
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of very distinctive red, white and blue vests
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: from the folks running an athletics club. Now I didn't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to them as I was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: so busy, but my partner Sue, grabbed a few words
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: with Matthew and Helen Webb, who both run the ten k,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Matthew finishing in forty nine minutes exactly and Helen forty
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: six fifty four. Apparently they were touring round in their
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: campervan and decided to aim for Clacton and the ten k. Now,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this is a busy, buzzy race and the Essex crowd.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Really are great fun.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it was a little bit scary because we
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: had an air ambulance helicopter land just a few hundred
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: yards from the start, but I'm pleased to say it
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't for any of the runners. It was to attend
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a casualty close by. Now the event must have attracted
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: along with spectators.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, two thousand people.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It was the final day of the Clacton Carnival week,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: so once again the nice A team presented an excellent
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: race with the boss, Rachel Wood in charge. So well
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: done to everybody that went along to that. Spectators, runners
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and who cools the team, you know, the team of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: nice work. They consist of very important, dedicated people. There's registration,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: there's t shirts to hand out, there's the timing team
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of Cavan and photographer Andrew and they've got to put
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the course out the day before, which is really hard work.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And then Catherine, she went round and picked up she
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: looked like a newspaper boy with a big sack there
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and picking up the signs afterwards. So it really was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a great team weekend. Okay, so time for another song.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Now we've got another celebrity birthday. And now this is
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: for a gentleman who was seventy seven last week. Now
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you might have heard of him, is mister Martin Knoffler.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And it is the first single they ever brought out
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was Sultan's of Swing and it was a new concept
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: at the time. It was a really diferent sound. But
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I've chosen for this one, which is most people know
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: this one. This is Money for Nothing distrates Money for
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing nineteen eighty five and no One always reminds me
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of like when MTV came out, you know, and they
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: had the song for this one was about cartoon characters,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and I used to think, what are they doing singing
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: about microwave ovens in a pop songmer I couldn't quite
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: work it out, but it obviously paid often, right, So
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we've got time for a bit of hockey news now, yes,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: now the folks and Optimist Hockey Club. Well, I don't know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: there's just something about it down there. Never seems to sleep,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is it. It's not long until the season starts. It's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth September for the men's first eleven, whose first
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: game is a way to Eastbourne, and the Ladies First
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: eleven on the same day they travel away to play
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Malden Russets. Now they are both in their respective Premier
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Divisions the five Memories correct without looking it up. The
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Ladies came up last year and the men held on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: by the skin of their teeth right to the last
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: game of the season to stay in that Premiere. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they've learned a lot of the men and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: looking forward to another competitive season now. At this stage
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't checked the other fixtures, as last season the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Opts managed to field thirteen teams so I'll wait till
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: radio Guru Amy has puts out a full list. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: mean she might find another couple of teams tucked away
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: somewhere that is so popular that sport.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Now during the close.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Season, there's been a Friday evening mixed hockey league, which
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is really popular. And when I say mixed hockey, it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: one of the sports where men and women are in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the same team and they play against men and women
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and it's.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Really really popular.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But one thing I do want to do is I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: want to read out a role of honor to players
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: who took part and listen to this. In the twenty
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: twenty six World Masters Hockey World Cup in Holland. Now
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you can play Masters hockey when you're over thirty five
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and it rises in five year increments right up to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: over eighty and we have got our own. Brian Murrawll
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: plays in the over eighties. Is a very shy private man.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Can't get him in for the life of me, but
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I always find out if he's playing for England, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: somehow Amy always tells me. So I'll just keep going, Brian.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So congratulations go to the following. Becka Smith represented England
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in the over thirty five category and she won a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gold medal. Oh wow, what an achievement that is. Former
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: guest of the show Amy Bumstead represented Wales in the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: over forties. She made her debuting goal there she came
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in sixth place. Claire Carter represented the Alliance over thirty
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: fives and won a bronze medal. Now the Alliance, by
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the way, is like a multinational club which was created
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to unite hockey players from various countries who might not
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: otherwise have a full national side to join. Nick Hopkin
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he was playing for the England over fifties and guess
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: what he got a gold medal as well, So two
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: gold medals. Steph Mill and she represented Scotland and over
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: thirty fives and she got an eighth place. So you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: can see, I don't know, you can just see what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the strength and depth of the eliza within the club,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and what credit these players are to the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: club themselves, the game and of course the area. You know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it makes everybody in folks them, you know, just a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: little spring in their step when they go down to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the hockey club. So there'd be more hockey news as
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and when it excuse me, as and when it comes
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and as we head off to the start of the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: season next month, and that means I will be trying
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to get Amy or a representative from the hockey club
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in here for a chat. Now we've got one more
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: birthday to celebrate, which is next week.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Actually.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Now it's a lady called Shania Twain now will be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: sixty next week. She's Canadian and she's the best selling
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: female artist in country music history, selling more than one
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: hundred million records. Now she is very popular, not so
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: popular over here. I think this song will represent her
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: biggest hit over here, but she's obviously got a massive,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: massive following out there in Canada. So sit back and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: enjoy this one, Shania Twain. That don't imprison me in much?

• 18:21
  Speaker 1: versus Coventry, then a full program on Saturday. Now this
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: first game looks I was going to be a baptism
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of fire for Coventry as champions of last season. Arsenal
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: play at home to last year's championship champions Coventry under
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the guidance of Frank Lampard, so no doubt we will
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: chat more about that on Saturday Sports show with myself
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and ad Meanwhile, closer to home, folks and in Victor
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have got off two words solid start. I can't grumble
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: really their first game they beat Walton and Hersham five
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to one, and on Tuesday evening they drew one all
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: with Maidstone United in what sounded like a really exciting
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: local Kent derby. I was listening to it on the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Seasiders Radio with Adrian and co precenter Charlie, who Charlie
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: has been on the show here as well, and if
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it sounded end to end stuff, it really did. This
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Saturday is a home fixture against Chelmsford in the National League.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: South high Town will look to bounce back into the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Southern Counties East Football Premier Division, winning their first game
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in Division one, beating the Hall's AFC by one goal
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to nil. Now remember their pitch is undergoing a transformation
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to an artificial surface. Their next seven games are away,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: starting this Saturday against Bride and Ropes, who play their
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: football very near to the Chilton Athletic ground. And a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: date for your diary is Monday thirty first of August.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's got to be the bank quality, isn't it, because Hi,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the visit near neighbors a lid town in a very
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: local derby. Now I can't remember if they have ever
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: ever officially played together in the league, No doubt they've
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: played in friendlies. But do you know what a they're
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: going to get a big crowd down there, I reckon,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: So hopefully that's going to be a really good game.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Now the Kent County League has started and our two clubs,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: New Romney and Hawkins, well they're not doing so well. Actually,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: New Romney lost three ones to Equinocchial FC and four
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: ones a AMG Ballers, whilst Hawkins drew two all with
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Stansfield and lost three to to falken Wood. Saturday they
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: both go again. New Romney are at home to Kent
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: United and Hawkins are also at home. They welcome a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: long lay into the to the ground there up in crickets's.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Close now talking about football this song which just kind
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of reminds me of our.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Disability team folksing in Victor and I've got a real
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: lovely bond with them.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I love going to see their games and.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And report on their on their progress, and it's just funny.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: This is on the playlist actually, So this is for
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Garret Wilson. He always picks out this song when he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: comes on. This is the Kaiser Chiefs and I predict
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a riot. That's the Kaiser Chiefs and that's for Garrett
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Wilson and all the guys down at the Folks and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the disability team, and they've been training and their season
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: must be starting very soon, so I'm gonna have to
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: find out their fixtures and I'm sure in time we
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: get Garon back in and have a chat and see
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: how they're getting on.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So I've got one more running report to bring you.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Now you might have picked up on I've been reporting
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: about this for a few weeks now. I was approached
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: by Rob Small and he told me about this event
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: which was pretty unique and.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: There is a podcast. I met up with him.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get him into the studio, but I did
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: meet up with him and we had a chat and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: then recorded an interview. But last Sunday it all happened.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: The organized race was called a Beat the Bell. Now,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: listen to this carefully because it's a new well. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: never heard of this concept, but it's really intriguing. Basically,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you can choose your own distance between one and ten
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: miles and there's no marshals out on the course. What
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you do is you download the video of the distances
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: onto your phone and you follow the phone. Actually you can.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: You know they've got these selected distances from start to finish,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: which robers Painstake at Lead produced When we spoke before,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: he puts so much effort into this. He went out
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and recorded every single distance between one, two, three, right
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: up to ten miles, and then when he went back
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and checked a couple of them.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: There was a few changes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I think one of them I think he said they
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: were starting to build do some building on one of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the I think is the first one of the first
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: mile course, and he had to change that, but he
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: puts so much work into it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Now you can also change the distance. For example, you
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: might want to do the one mile and then five
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: mile and then do a two mile. You know you've
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: got all day to do it. Now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Rob sent me Aeat a repeat a report of the day,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: which for him started at six am, putting out a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: few signs the run starting at eleven and finishing at nine.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You had that window between eleven and nine to get
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the run in. You could change the distance, or you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: could just go round around in one particular big loop,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: say the ten miler.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The idea was that the bell was rang at nine
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: o'clock at the anchor in Wingham, which was the race headquarters.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Now Rob hoped he thought of everything, but there was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: one thing a missing, the actual bell itself, which was
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: why the race was called beat the Bell. So Rob's partner, Emma,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: she swiftly ran a pbe back to Homer, back with
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the bell in place so the race could begin. Now,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: over the course of the day, runners came and went,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes on their own, they went out in pairs, large groups,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and Rob says it was chilled atmosphere of people knowing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: they could do as many miles or as little miles
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: as they wanted. Runners came in from as far away
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: as London, Medway, Chatham, Maystone, Paddletwood and closer to Wingham.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: There was loads of interest from Canterbury, Dover and Folkston.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Now the feedback that Rob receives was very complimentary, with
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: sixty seven runners running on the day, and the icing
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: on the cake was the fact that the race raised
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: three hundred pound for the Saint John's Ambulance Brigade and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: three hundred pounds for Young Lives Foundation, with the money
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: still coming in. So after a successful day, it looks
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: like Rob will be having an even busier day next
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: year as he plans to repeat the race, and I'm
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: sure once the word has passed around those numbers will
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: go up. Now Rob wants to thank everybody at the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: anchor for all the support throughout the whole procedure setting
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: up from the moment he went into the pub and asked,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you know, put the idea to them. He wants to
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: thank Wingham stores, he wants to thank women Winging.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I just get it. Lots of wabble use, isn't there.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Wingham a well spring, water and Gibson's Farm shop for
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: sponsoring us through the medals, the water and the hamper,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: so you know, lots of local input there. And I've
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: got a set of results in front of me. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't about the time. It was basically yeah, there
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: was an issue to see if you who could run
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the furthest on the day, and a couple of them did.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Hang on, I've got there's one person did thirty three
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: miles sam Ashby, and there was six people did thirty
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: one miles. Two people did thirty miles, so it was
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: great ultra training. But also you know, going right down
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the list, there was loads of people did ten, five,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: six miles, eight miles, and there was even two people
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that went out and did just a one mile, but
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: they did it. They got a medal and they were
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: part of it. So I mean it was a great idea,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: rob and you followed it through off air. You told
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: me a lot about the trials and tribulations, that went
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: on behind a race, but you've pulled through and you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: can have a sleepful night now after all those nights
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of tossing and turning, you can get your hit down
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and start preparing for next year. Right, We're going to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: go back to nineteen eighty five, and I do remember
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: this one and as soon as I start playing it,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: if you have seen the video, you'll know exactly what
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I mean. Two iconic singers, one no longer with us,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: David Bowie, but we've got David Bowie and Mick Jagger
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and they're ever rendition of dancing in the streets. Okay,
• 26:42

• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and just a picture of them in that. I'll tell
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: you what.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go home and put that video on track,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it down on YouTube and play it again. Well, I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: can picture a little snippets of it, you know. But
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was starting to be the era where
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: there was like some classic singers or groups and then
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they got together, you know, things like the Traveling Wilbury's.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: You know, four awesome artists all got together on one
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: one song that is just great.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Idea.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so moving on me or running out
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of time, but I want to get this one in
