  Speaker 1: I'll be making it up as I go along. Hatch

  Speaker 1: Leah's normally eighty does all the work and I just
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: chip in now and then, and so not much prep
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: done today, but we have loads to talk about. So
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: let's get the show on the road with the tribute. Now.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: During the week you might have heard the sad news
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys has passed away.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So I did play someone Thursday. I think he deserves
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: another song. Don't you did you grow up with this
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: one from the sixties California Girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a legacy they left the Beach Boys California Girls. Right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So now we are back to the to the nitty gritty,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm joined in the studio by two members of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the High Cricket and Squash Club gains for good morning, Rachel,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: how are you?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Good morning? Kevin all good on us, Good morning in Folkston.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Excellent, thank you, and Jamie how are you? You're okay today?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Good excellent. Right now we got I mean the High
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Cricket and Sports Club. There's two clubs in itself. But
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: speaking to Rachel off air, there's so much more going on,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: which we will eventually unfold as the show goes on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But first of all, Rachel and tell our listeners what
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: your role is at the club?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Kevin.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I think, like most volunteers in community sports clubs, I've
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: done everything from clean the toilets.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: To be company secretary over the years.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: But the two volunteer roles that I still do and
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I'm most proud of are firstly that I'm club safeguarding officer, right,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and also that I do the administration for junior cricket
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and also to support Jamie with women's cricket.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Oh excellent. So Jamie turns you, what's your role at
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the club.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I am the women's coach and manager. Anything to do
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: with women. It's all about me, is it right? Okay?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Well, we start with you. While we're on subject to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: women's cricket. It's really coming to the forefront now, So
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tell us I don't know just the basis the background
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of the team. So how many teams you've got, I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just telling us about we start of women's cricket. Are
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: where you go, Jamie?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: So like most ladies or women at cricket, where are
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: there supporting our children? And one day I said to Rachel,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: why can't we play? Could we get something together or
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: a coach together, to give us a couple of lessons
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and see where it goes. And Rachel was very happy
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to try and put something together and she managed to
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: get Chris Green, who is our girls coach in the
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: summer twenty and twenty four back end and then to
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: give us a couple of lessons and we just absolutely
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: loved it. We only had we started off with about
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: eight ladies and today we're up to about fifteen and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: we're just growing and growing every week, which is fabulous.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, are you are you structured in a league or
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are you just arrange friendlies?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: No, we are in a league. So in the winter
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: we do indoor cricket and in the summer we do
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a split between festivals, which is like a smaller structure,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: smaller what do you call it format where there are
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: a few teams who play together, and then we have
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: what we call a bash and those are like a
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: T twenty and we do play different teams a couple
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: of weeks.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, so now we can switch to you, Rachel. What
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: can we talk about you do? So you've got so
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: many hats on today? Would you want to talk about first?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I'd like if I probably like if I may, Kevin,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: just to talk about the joy of sports? Yeah, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: think you know, as we all know sports clubs across
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: folksman in high we all have teams in leagues, we
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: all involved in competition. But I think for us we
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: started to ask what about the people who don't play sport?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: What about the people who aren't involved and who perhaps
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: might want.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: To be so.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: As a club, whether it's children or women or people
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: who will otherwise be playing, we've tried to say what
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: stops you playing sport?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And how do we make it easy?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: So Jamie's just given us a great introduction to where
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: women's cricket is now, but we've started going, well, what
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: stops people playing?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And for lots of people.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It was the time, you know, and cricket comes across
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: as something quite complicated with rules and kit and traveling
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and time and hours and all of those things. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: we talked to people and they said, well, I'd just
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: like to have a go. So we started cricket a
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: softball cricket just an hour a week, turn up with
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a pair of trainers. All you need is a bat
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and a ball and someone like Jamie to offer some
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: support and encouragement and the.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Where you go.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And that's what we've tried to do across the club
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: with cricket, with racketball, particularly with squash. We've got two
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: lovely squash coaches who started squaffy mornings so that women
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: who might not otherwise be playing because they're caring for children,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: families working, could come down, have.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: A cup of coffee, have a go on court and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the friendships have built from there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we started to get into it now. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: besides the cricket, you've mentioned squash, So what other sports
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do you do down?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: We're a multi sports club and we're a registered charity
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and our main sports are cricket, squash, football and racquetball,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: which our club volunteers run and support, and we're really lucky.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: We've got some brilliant partner clubs as well.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: So we've got high per Tank Club who do lovely
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: P tank sessions at the club.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Just to explain, I understand it. But what is p
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: tank because in this country other people might know it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as bulls? Is that right?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That's right?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm no expert, Kevin with you, I think Hyper
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Tank Club would love to come and talk to you
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: one day.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It's very social. It's like bowls, but you don't bowl,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: itt you throw.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It's so popular in France. You know. I used to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: work for Eurotunnel and for ten years I used absolutely
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: blitz go into France and the it's like, I suppose,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like a dark ball. In England, you know, they just
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: play their bull that's what I know. I don't know
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: why they call it paton. It might be a regional thing,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but they just throw themselves into it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and all families play it. It's really really is a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: great sport. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on a lot
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: more actually in England. But let's switch back to you, Jamie.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So youngsters in cricket tell us about the youngsters the sections.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: How many how many teams you've got boys girls? What's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the ratio? You know you've got more girls. Is it
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: really attractive to girls now?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, like I was saying earlier, Chris Green has
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: really grown girls crickets in the club and we have
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: girls coming from all over wanting.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: To play with.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Full high with Chris and they're just doing so well.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I mean across the board. We have every age group.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: So I coach the under nines on a Sunday morning.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Then there is under eleven's, under eleven, boys under eleven
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: girls under thirteen's. Again they split to boys and girls
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: under fifteens.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They struggle a little bit.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I think when the boys get to fifteen they've got
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: other things on there. But then they seem to come
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: back to cricket later on and then join the men's team,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: which is quite nice.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It does happen. That does happen with all sports actually.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean as a parent, I took my kids swimen football,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: running and scat out to cubs. You do that, don't you.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Then they grow up and they start to, as you say,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: different things. Certainly with rug they've got a ladies rugby
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: between when the ladies are or I don't know whether
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to call them ladies or women, but anyway, you know
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about. The university comes along or boyfriends
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: or jobs and that, and as you say, they leave
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the sport, hopefully it's in their heart and come back
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to it. So is there a big gap between like
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the under fifteens, it sort of stops there because there's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the next jumper bee, like we're really the second eleven.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, pretty much. So it's I think just generally in
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: all sports they struggle, but yes, particularly at our club
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: for the under fifteen So we've got a couple of
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: players who are there and dedicated, but because they can't
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: get enough players to play in the league, then they
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: have to then start playing with the men's or then
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: we're asking the girls who are in the under fifteen
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: teams if they can play to make up the numbers.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, well we're going to take a little break now.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play a bit of music. But when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: we come back, I want to find out about the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Hive Cavaliers and the High Hopeful. So those two are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: new ones on Now last night, was you out in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that storm? Was you out one of these people on
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the beach taking pictures, or was you cuddled up under
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the douve well. I was coming back from a run
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in charing and so we were heading south down the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and it just looked like there was this panoramic, technicolor
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: light show going on over the coast of Folston. So
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I put Storm into our track list and I haven't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: heard this one for years. So let's have a listen
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to the fortunes and Storm in a teacup. There we are,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Storm in a teacup. Was you out in that storm
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: last night? There's some great pictures on social media this morning,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, there are some brave people that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: go out storm chasing, but not me. I'm a do
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they hugger? Right now? Just before we finished our last link,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we were and I was curious about the Hive Cavaliers
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and the high hopefuls. So hopefully Rachel knows a bit
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: about those. Do you or whatever put you on the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: spot there, caught you out?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can talk about the Cavaliers and our hand
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to Jamie to chat about the hopefuls. Okay, the Cavaliers.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It's one of our social sports groups, so play a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: social game of cricket on a Monday night, mixture of
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: people from across the club. There's a couple of squash
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: players who will play cricket on a Monday night. It's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: been lovely that some different generations have played, older and
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: younger players playing together. And also some of our brilliant
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: sponsors have brought teams down to play as well. So
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Kap Motor in Folkston who have been really supportive and
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: some of their guys will come down and play too.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: So lovely social cricket.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just talking about that and sort of different age
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: groups and that. I'm sure you might know the answer
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to this. Did you get any like father sons? You know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of parents obviously bring their children down,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but when when they as they're progressing, do you get
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: fathers and sons sort of really competing against each other?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, Kevin, it's been really exciting that we've had fathers
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: and sons playing together, fathers and daughters playing together, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I think we're now getting to the point of mothers
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and daughters playing together.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Jamie, your turn. Cavaliers. What were they
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all about?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The hopeful, so high hopeful?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So what do we talk about that?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Was the Cavaliers Monday night.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: That's right, and so's the Hope High hopefuls.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: We train on a Tuesday evening and we are a
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: ladies softball team. Yeah, like I said, we try and
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: on the Tuesdays and we usually have games on a
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Sunday afternoon across Kent. We are in the Central League,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: so we play people like Bested, the Moats Lenhim.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Now there's trouble ben. If you like on the coast,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you can't go can you? But you've got you've got
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to go north unless you can play in Calais, which
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: some clubs do, so yeah, I can understand the traveling.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I think the women's cricket is definitely growing. Where before
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: folks in Cricket club never used to have a ladies
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: team and Celsted's knew as well. They've now got teams.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: So hopefully next year when they've joined up to sign
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: into the league, we will have a different area that
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: we play against.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Like I said, we're playing the Moat and Basted, which
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: is quite north for us, not really what you would
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: think as who you would be playing.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's great, oh good, And that's the female
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: species only yes, right, ladies or women or girls or
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: late it's usually ladies.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: We do have a few girls who play for us.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: They have to be over twelve if they.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Are playing in the festival format. If they're playing in
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the league festivals, they have to be over fourteen. So
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: if we are short and we can't get the numbers up,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: we do occasionally have girls playing for us. Tomorrow we
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: have a friendly again Celsted and one of the girls
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: is helping us out.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's great.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: It's great that they get the opportunity to play more
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: crickets because although they can play their normal leagues, it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: great that they can come and join us and get
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: some extra cricket in Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Good. They also I didn't mention this, I'll bring this
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: one on you, but there's two teams there under eleven
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Gold and under eleven Green.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so one was the girls' team and one was
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: the boys. I think they have moved away from that name. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: it's now just under eleven girls.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: So that's the youngest age of teams that you.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: That you competitive cricket year.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: So when we play league, we do have under nines
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: who play, but they don't really play in a league.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: As such, they have.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Festivals towards the end of the year, so they get
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: to practice up until about June July time, and then
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: a couple of the club's host festivals and we go
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: and play there. Last year the undernineres did really really well.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I'm really pleased.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Excellent And you mentioned earlier on you play indoor cricket.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Where did you play that?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, so again Kent Cricket is really good at putting
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: festivals and fixtures together.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: So it's across Kent the university.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: What's it called in Canterbury it is christ Church University.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: We've also played in a couple of other places. As
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: long as there's big enough space, we will go and
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: play brilliant.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, so we'll stop the cricket for a minute.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But so Rachel, let's come back to you the other
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: sports we mentioned squash, racquetball, pertonk tell us what you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: know about the squash club? Have we got time.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Where to start?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I mean squash has been around at the club for
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: a while and we've also got racquetball now, and so
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: we're really lucky. We've got a range of players right
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: from people competing really almost at the top right down
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to dad's, mum's grandparents who bring their kids down for
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: a game. I think a thing that's been a real
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: game changer for the club has been racquetball. I didn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: know very much about racketball when I joined, but bigger
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: racket bigger ball.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: So it's a slower game and it means.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You played on a squash call.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, played on a squash court.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And it means that people who want a slightly slower
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: game can still take part. And for example, there's a
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: brilliant group of guys on Friday mornings have probably been
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: playing for decades. I think at one stage they were
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: calling themselves the Coffin Dodgers sort of late seventies, come
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: down every week for a game. Brilliant coach Chris O'Donovan,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: who himself has been quite an achiever in the squash
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: and racquetball world and is just really encouraging people to play.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: They come down every week, and they've seen each other
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: through some life things as well, you know, health issues
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: and family issues, and they've been there and supported each
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: other week in week out. So yeah, a brilliant range
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: of people playing squash.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And are they competitive against other teams in leagues? And things.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Squashes.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Squash is very competitive, playing a lot of leagues and
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: across Kent as well racquetball two. For example, we held
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: a big tournament is Kent Racketball Tournament at the end
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: of last year. People came literally from all over the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: country to play, so there's that real strong element of
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: competition all the way from ten year olds upwards. But
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: also there's a lot of social racketborn squash played as
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: well for people that have been playing for years or
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: just want to try, so it's a real.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Range of opportunities to play.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Right. Well, we're going to have a little another little
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: break there because we found a song which Jamie just mentioned.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's so apt for today's session. Really this is tenn
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: CC and Redlock Holiday. I love to readlog Holiday ten
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: or a great choice just telling our two lovely guests
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that back in the day, I mean that was coming
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that came out in nineteen seventy eight, so it was
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: about that era that I did actually go to see
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: tenn CC. They were one of my favorite groups. There
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: were groups in the day nowadays they call them bands,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that it was a group and I mean I'm not
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: in love that classic song from tenn CC. It has
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: just stood the test of time. My dig that got
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: me going out on tenn CC. But then many years
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: later I saw them to Margate and I think there
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: was two original members of the group, but it sounded
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: spot on. It was a great evening. Okay, so we
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: are digressing, perhaps why not now One important issue that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, Rachel right the start of the program was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a safeguarding Now, this is a very important for sports
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: clubs now. It helps the parents know that there's some protection.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: But years ago when I played sport, no one had
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: ever heard of a safeguarding officer. So tell us the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: basics a safeguarding officer and what you have to do
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: at your club.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I'm really delighted Kevin, that every sports club now has
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: to have a safeguarding officer and also a whole club
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: responsibility for safeguarding. So safeguarding is really about two things.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: It applies it applies to adults, young people as well
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: as children, and it's about two things. It's making sure
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: that anybody in the club who has a concern or
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: a worry, who feels that they might be at risk
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: of harm, knows that they can speak up and knows
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: that there are people in the club who will know
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: what to do if they do so, it's about having
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: a clear reporting process to get help if someone is
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: able to speak up about something that's happening to them.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: The second part of safeguarding, which really as a safeguarding
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: officer is ninety five percent of my job, is about
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: trying to ensure that our club is a safe and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: welcoming and inclusive place for everyone. So lots of sports
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: clubs like ours now have a code of conduct for
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: everybody that talks about treating each other with courtesy and respect,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and it's very much about having an umbrella of policies
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and procedures and behaviors that mean that people can come
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: to our club and play sport and feel comfortable and
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: welcomed whoever.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: They are, right. I mean, immediately you think of safeguarding
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the children, but do you ever get any adult issues
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: where they need a safe guarding officer to jump in.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Every club now has to have an adult safeguarding policy.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: The legislation is slightly different to children and young people safeguarding,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: but statistically one in four of us adults at some
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: stage in our life will be classified as an adult
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: at risk and that could be for a whole range
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: of reasons, for financial distress, for bereavement, for addiction, for
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: domestic abuse. So there's all sorts of reasons why people
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: at different stages in life might struggle. Say, guarding offices
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in clubs now have some training around adults safeguarding as well,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: so that if someone comes to talk to us or
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: talk to another member of the club, we know where
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to help them, we know where to refer them, we
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: know how to make reports if we need to. It's
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: really really about people feeling safe and.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Welcome, and the US safeguarding officers have to go on
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a course. Do you get any guidance from a governing body.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: We're very fortunate now that every sport governing body has
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: a range of training options.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: For their safeguarding officers.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: So I have to do initial training, then there's regular
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: online training.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Every three years. We do face to face.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Update training really and the value of that is talking
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: to safeguarding officers from other clubs as well. They're learning
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: from the issues that they've helped with. So yeah, there's
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of information, a lot of support and a
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: lot of training out there to make sure that people
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: in sports clubs know what to do if somebody does
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: speak up about something that's worrying.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Them, and could you get adults come to you and say, look,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I think child X might have a little problem. You know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: it might be something at home or whatever. But is
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that a taboo subject or can you help them there?
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: No, we absolutely welcome anyone in the club who has
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: a concern about someone else to come and have a chat.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: It's confidential. And to me, safeguarding is about solving a
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: problem to keep someone safe. It doesn't mean that, you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: social services come screaming in on blue lights. What it
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: does mean is is carefully listening to someone and finding
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: a solution that will keep them safe or help them
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: through the next stage.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Good. But you know what that's really reassuring. I didn't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: realize it was the legislation that every club has to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: have a safeguarding officer, although I'll see them all the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: time and I just I don't know. I just thought
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: it was something that the clubs do. But it's nice.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody went from ive cricket club to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a another cricket club, they would also have a safeguarding officer.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So that's just right across the ball, isn't it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, all of the big sport governing bodies now
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: have a requirement that local grassroots clubs have a safeguarding officer.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: And we're learning from each other, you know, in across
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Kent and Medway. There's some really good networks now for
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: safeguarding offices across you know, swimming, football, cricket, squash.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right across. That is really good. Okay, we're going
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to take another little break now, and because when we
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: come back, we've got another little subject that's just cropped
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: up while we're in the office, and that's a cricket festival.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So don't go away. And this is Kevin Sports for
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Daily here on radio, folks and standing in for Adie Dowks.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: If you just turned it tuned in. He's got a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: little job to do with the focusing in Victor today,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: so I'm helping him out stepping in. And what great
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: warning we're having. So let's have a little listen to
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: this one Maroon five and moves that Jagger moves like
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Jaggo twenty eleven. And you know what it's like, a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: song takes you back, doesn't It takes you straight back
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to somewhere in time. It might be your holiday, it
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: might be growing up. It might even be a funeral,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to be fair. I mean, I've been to some funerals
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to come away and there's a song played a few
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: days afterwards and I can't listen to it because you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: saw it, but emotionally involved. But anyways, on a lighter note,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: moves like Jago. When I was doing Race for Life
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in that was twenty eleven, that was a really popular
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: song and I think I used to do six Race
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: for Life around the county, and I should think five
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of them used to use that song when the warm
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: up Lady came on and got the crowd going and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: everybody absolutely loved it. So that's another bit of sports
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: erit trivia right now, Jamie, back to you. We were
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: talking off here about cricket festival. Now I suppose that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: is predominantly for the youngsters. Tell us about the format
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and how many in a team, how long you how many?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Just tell me about it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: So the festivals, yes, they run for juniors and the ladies,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: ladies in particular, like I said earlier. So we're in
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: the Central League, so all the teams, so there's four
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: teams within the league and each team will have to
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: host a festival, so we did ours in May and
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: we had our teams come over. We have to choose
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: a format that we're going to play, so we either
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: play six overs or eight overs and depending on how
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: many players, so we did an eight over with eight
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: players and it's like Pears cricket, a bit like how
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: the juniors play their festivals as well, and.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: So how old are the children are involved in these festivals.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: So for the juniors they're under nine, yes.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: And then for the ladies.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Anybody anybody over twelve can be in the festivals. For
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the ladies festivals, so we've done the May hours. We
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: did eight oversight eight ladies playing and it's a quick format,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: so we play a game within forty five minutes, you
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: have a quick break and then you will play the
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: next team and you've got three or four games going
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: on within the day, so it's quite although you don't
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: play for very long, it is still quite a long day.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah right, And just remind me again, so
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: how many first of alls you visit?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Four So we've done hours in May. We did Bearsted
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: last week. We were at the Mote next Sunday and
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: then we're supposed to play Lenham at the end of.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: July, right, and I mean some of the junior football
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: they don't give out the score or they don't give
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: out the scorers. I don't know why. It's just one
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of those protection things. But so you've got four games
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in four different venues. Is there a scoring system or
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you're just doing it for fun?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: No, there is a scoring system.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: So it's you get three points for a win I
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: think if it's called off due to whether it's one.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: If you lose, you get one point. So you are
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: receiving points all the time. Yeah, And you can look
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: at the scores on play cricket. If you go on
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: and you have a look for the Central League, you
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: can actually see what who is in the ranks, who's
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: at the top.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And right and if you're the Central League, which is
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: quite south for a central league, isn't it. Do you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: ever have an accumulation where I don't know, the Northern
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: League or the Eastern League might come and play you.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Well, so at the end of the festival, when we
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: have an overall winner for the Central League, they will
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: then go and play the other league winners. It's usually
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: September time and there it's a great day out again
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: all the winter, all the winners of the league's going
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and then you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Get the best team. That's great. September is that would
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you switch indoors in September?
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: No, we usually still outdoors in September. Its usually it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: about January when we were actually playing indoors. Really, yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: so you start like when we're actually training, we go
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: from about November indoors because we can't we can't.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Hold hope for the weather. Really.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so January is when the indoor league start, and.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, does that spark loads of enthusiasm from the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: parents and you get a big It's just.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Great that we can play cricket all year round. Yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: it's not just now a winter sport. Oh sorry, a
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: summer sport anymore. It is all year round. O.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, well, I think we've covered everything about the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: junior cricket. Is there anything we've left there? Jamie? What
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: about the midweek midweek T twenty? That's more than men's,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Were more interested in the ladies side of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: What's nice about the ladies is that you don't need
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: any equipment, so as long as you've got a bat
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: and you've got a ball. You don't need to be
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: having to go spend loads of money on extra equipment
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: like helmets and things, although the club has those if
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: you needed them. But with the Ladies League it's really nice.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: You literally just turn up and play right excellent.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Oh well, this is another string to the bow of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: cricket in general, actually that I didn't know was out there.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm learning something about this today which is good
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: for me, good for the sport, good to hive. And
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we hope that if you do miss the show today
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that you will get a chance when I've done the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: podcast to listen to it and share it. Please share
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: it because this is what we're learning today. Should really
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: get out there. We're going to talk about before we
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: go about membership and how to get hold of you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: But let's see whatever we got left, Rachel. We've done squash,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: we've done football, No we haven't. Actually let me ask
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you if the Grove Grovellers are still active.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: The Grove Grovellers are really active having and I should
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: start by giving a really big shout out to two people.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: So Andy woman is our team manager and looks after
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the ground, and we also have Ken Pollack who's been
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: around the club.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Remember Ken.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Ken.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Well, not only is Ken in his late seventies and
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: still playing, but he's also now manager of the England
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: over seventy five.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Oh is it over seventy five?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, hang on, let's just write that down. Ken
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: over seventy five. Get him in the studio.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's got some great stories to tell. And the
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Grovel has celebrated fifty year anniversary two years ago, had
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: a big get together and I think it just showed
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: the strength of friendships that are built around playing football,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: and that people are still playing football into their late
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: seventies and early eighties.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Now, it's brilliant.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I did play a bit of senior football, no what
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: they call it, veterans football myself. Actually I was. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: was actually still playing down at High in my early
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: fifties in the reserves. And when I went to play
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: veterans football, I must admit I was very fit and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I could see him just so unfair, I'll believe it.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But the camaraderie, like you say, and having a few
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: beers in the clubhouse afterwards. Real, Okay, so we're going
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to squeeze another song in because we I just want
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to do one more link with Jamie and Rachel and
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: find out how people can get involved in the club.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So this is from Oasis and stop crying your hearts out.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Oasis there, stop crying your heart out. Well, this hour
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: has gone so quick, we've only got a few minutes left,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: so we're going to go to our two gifts and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: just see if there's any last minute words they want
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to say, perhaps boys of encouragement for the parents, or
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: just what sport's all about. So Jamie, over to you.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I'd just like to say to any ladies or girls
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: who are interested in cricket, come down, try it out.
• 33:22

  Speaker 3: excited about having live stream cricket.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Oh well, you know what, keep talking we have We're
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: going to talk about that, but we've just led so
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: much to talk about. I actually saw it for the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: first time only just the other week, but gone then
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: over to.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: You amazing club member John Osborne who live streams our
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: cricket to all the TVs in the club. So if
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: you're strolling plus the club, want to drop in for
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: a drink, watch a bit of cricket, check out what's happening.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: You can see immediately who's playing, what score is up
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: on the screen.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: He does a little bit.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Does you come into the screen in the clubhouse.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: It streams on all the TVs in the clubhouse. Anybody's
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: welcome drop in for a drink. Reagan, who's our bar manager,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Will will really welcome you. And John uploads to YouTube,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: so we have a YouTube channel that's.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Where I picked it up on actually on a U
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel, but then I've got curious, So yeah, this
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: is a great way forward. I mean, let's face it,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you're not playing cricket at the highest level, but to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: have this technology at a junior cricket club, it's really amazing.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I think anyway, things have just progressed with media sites
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, just the forums and things like that.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: This is really really what do you call it, cutting
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: edge stuff down at high as there are.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: We're really excited, Kevin.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, as a club, we want people to play,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: watch and talk about sport. So having live stream means
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: that more people can watch and talk about it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: It's on YouTube, it's High Cricket Live.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Hats off to Johnny's doing an amazing job and he'd
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: love you to have a look.

• 35:48
  Speaker 1: thank anyone or give hellos or anything. So where you go.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: We've got massive list of volunteers, incredible group of people
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: at the club, Kevin, and I think the thing I'd
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: really like to say is thank you to everybody who
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: comes down and plays, whether you play, whether you watch,
• 36:06

• 36:08
  Speaker 3: for a drink. You're really welcome and we're so grateful
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: for everyone who supports our club. I have a list
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: written of about forty two people, but I think we're
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: running out of time.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: We are cut it down to twenty one. Well just
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: far away. I want to. I just want these people
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to realize that we are live on it and we
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: do thank and respect for what you do for your lover,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: your club. So come on a name a few names.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's the people who do the work behind
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the scenes. So we have Will Clayton, who's our cricket
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: chair who's created a sea change in cricket, supported some
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: new things.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: We have our groundskeepers.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: We have Grant matt Ford, Cameron Potter who behind the
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: scenes are making our grounds a beautiful place to be
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: with a brilliant wicket. I've already mentioned Andy Boorman and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: football and our junior cricket coaches all give their.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Time for free. It's hours in a week.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: They prepare, they train, they do all sorts of work
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: that nobody else sees. So head coach Martin Cobb, our
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: cricket coaches Jamie over there, John Osborne under elevens is
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Matt Day. Under thirteens is Dave Potter, and we have
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Roger Mapstone who looks after under fifteen's huge team of
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: people giving their time. Squash is the same. Laura Hogman,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: you're a superstar. Gary hollanbe is working his socks off
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: to make competitive squash really attractive to people.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And Glenn Moseley, you.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Know yeah, and club club chair Philip Carter again behind
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: the scenes giving hours to the club.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: So big thank you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: To Philip and to our club trustees, to Tom Locke Rachel.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Without you we'd all fall apart.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think Jamies looks like Rachel's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: named most of the people. Are there any people on
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the female side of cricket that you want to think?
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I just saw the ladies who come out and make
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: it an absolute jawl every week and the laughs and yeah,
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: let's go team.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Well, Jamie Rachel has been awesome coming in now and
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I've learned a lot about the club. I thought it
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: was just cricket and squash. There's much more to it
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: than that, and used to have seen a fine example
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: for cricket and ladies. Cricket and ladies sport in general
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: in the little hamlet that is high. I'll get into
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: trouble for calling that aspect. But people of Hive, if
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you're listening to this then and perhaps you don't even realize,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit tricky to find sometimes if you
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: don't know where it is. But if you come off
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the main road over the bridge to do a left,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: you probably think, oh, can I go down that road
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: because it runs alongside the canal, and then he will
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: open up. Look to your right, and that's where the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: grove is. That's where the squashes, the cricket, the football,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the racquetball, the petent. So if you want to just
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: pop in there and see somebody, just do it, or
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: if not, just a contact. As Rachel said, right, ladies,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for coming in. It's been an
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: awesome morning. I've really enjoyed your company and you have
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: a successful summer.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Thank thank you so much. Kevin, it's been great fun.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Okay, I think we've got time
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: for one more song. We're probably going to break into
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: it and I'll do but anyway, this gone with it.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: We've got no more time left. This is simply read
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and stars.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Man can you see that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to fade that down a bit now
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: because I've just had some special news and Jamie's been
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: keeping this really quiet. Are you listening? You better be
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: because today, Rick is your fortieth birthday. We're all here
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: at radio folks and want to wish you a massive
