1:13
Speaker 1: I was watching Back to the Future the other day.
1:17

1:23

Speaker 1: your love n zz another great track to start a
2:21
Speaker 1: service sports show here at Radio Folks Then, and apart
2:25
Speaker 1: from Back to the Future type song, it also reminds
2:27
Speaker 1: me of a couple of years ago. We did a
2:30
Speaker 1: fundraiser down in Boovery Square and you might remember it.
2:35
Speaker 1: We actually got somebody did not me personally, but we
2:39
Speaker 1: got the one of the DeLorean cars, the look alikes,
2:43
Speaker 1: but it was a really, really great replica. And that
2:47
Speaker 1: came down and we had Paul Reynolds banging out the
2:49
Speaker 1: tunes with his DJ stuff, and we had a special
2:53
Speaker 1: guests of Marylyn Bone Jelly came in and what great
2:56
Speaker 1: group they are. They're making a real name for themselves locally.
3:00
Speaker 1: And as me to enter into the spirit of things,
3:04
Speaker 1: I got myself. I said, I've got a white sort
3:06
Speaker 1: of doctor's coat. I got a bald headed wig with
3:10
Speaker 1: like scary white hair sticking out all over the place.
3:14
Speaker 1: And I was going around pointing at my watch and
3:18
Speaker 1: looking at the time all the time as dressed up
3:21
Speaker 1: as the dock and loads of people. Well thankfully not
3:25
Speaker 1: many people recognized me, but they all wanted their picture
3:27
Speaker 1: done with me. But anyway, that was great. That was
3:29
Speaker 1: a great Saturday morning down at Brewery Square with doing
3:32
Speaker 1: a fundraiser. Okay, so let's take a look at last
3:35
Speaker 1: Saturday's local crickets course Folks from first eleven beat Leeds
3:38
Speaker 1: and Broomfield in a game that was a rain adjusted
3:41
Speaker 1: by the umpires. Folks do On batted first and made
3:44
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight in forty eight point five overs.
3:48
Speaker 1: The rains must have then come down as Leeds were
3:50
Speaker 1: set a target of one hundred and twenty seven in
3:53
Speaker 1: forty two overs but only managed one hundred and eighteen
3:56
Speaker 1: all out, so Folks then won the game by eight runs.
4:00
Speaker 1: Today is an away fixture as Folks then traveled to Dartford.
4:04
Speaker 1: Hawkins were away to Betsanger then put Betsanger into bat
4:08
Speaker 1: which they thought must have paid off as they bowled
4:11
Speaker 1: them all out for just eighty seven runs. Now, I
4:13
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but it looks like all of
4:16
Speaker 1: the Hawkings teams seem to have a bad day and
4:18
Speaker 1: could only manage sixty two runs, not like them, and
4:22
Speaker 1: they lost the game by twenty five runs. However, they
4:25
Speaker 1: do remain top, but they need to pull their socks
4:28
Speaker 1: up and bounce back this week as they face second
4:31
Speaker 1: place deal Victoria and Barnes close. Hie batted batted first
4:37
Speaker 1: away at Willsborough and made two hundred and eight for
4:40
Speaker 1: four They then bowled Willsborough out for one hundred and
4:42
Speaker 1: thirty eight, so winning the game by seventy runs. This
4:45
Speaker 1: week High they're at home to Ash Cricket Club, So Ash,
4:50
Speaker 1: that's them. They come from near Sandwich. They're down there
4:52
Speaker 1: by the old Pfizers building, that sort of area named
4:56
Speaker 1: the derby game at Saltwood Hive. Green won the toss
5:00
Speaker 1: bat and made one hundred and fifty four to nine
5:02
Speaker 1: in their forty overs Silward but then made the one
5:05
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five necessary, winning the game by one wicket.
5:09
Speaker 1: That must have been a close one. This Saturday, the
5:12
Speaker 1: Green are at home to Edgerton and Siltword are away
5:15
Speaker 1: to Nelson Cricket Club, which means a trip over to Thannet.
5:19
Speaker 1: Sipton Park traveled away to Offham in West morling Batch
5:23
Speaker 1: at first that made one hundred and fifty one all out.
5:25
Speaker 1: They then bowled off them out for one hundred and
5:27
Speaker 1: forty five so won the game by just six runs,
5:30
Speaker 1: which isn't much in local cricket is it? Six runs?
5:33
Speaker 1: This week the Sibs are at home to Mers and Sports.
5:37
Speaker 1: Now I've just looked out the window and I got
5:39
Speaker 1: caught earlier in a downpour, just come out and between
5:43
Speaker 1: the car and the radio station, I got soaking. We've
5:46
Speaker 1: got a couple of days of storms apparently. Sometimes we're
5:50
Speaker 1: down here in the very south of Kent. We do
5:52
Speaker 1: kind of get away with it, don't we. But the
5:55
Speaker 1: weather looks predicted for okay, for Saturday, so we might
5:59
Speaker 1: actually get a good afternoon's cricket coming up. Okay, So
6:04
Speaker 1: the next song is in there. In a few weeks time,
6:07
Speaker 1: I should be joined by Amy Stimpson from the Storry
6:10
Speaker 1: from the South Kent Harriers. But she does put on
6:13
Speaker 1: the Dover Waterfront Park Run. That's it, and they're coming
6:18
Speaker 1: up for their second birthday. And we're also going to
6:20
Speaker 1: be joined on the same day by a lovely girl
6:23
Speaker 1: called Summer. Now, Summer is a cancer survivor and she's
6:27
Speaker 1: trying to raise awareness of cancer and she's doing a little,
6:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, a little event within the Waterfront Park
6:36
Speaker 1: Run and she's going to be down there and trying
6:39
Speaker 1: to just make awareness of cancer. And so anyway, she's
6:43
Speaker 1: coming in. I don't know too much about it at
6:44
Speaker 1: the moment. Summer and Amy are coming in. But when
6:50
Speaker 1: the Dover Park Run had their very first celebration their
6:53
Speaker 1: first birthday. We had a little warm up and I thought,
6:56
Speaker 1: I dig this song out again, and We're always to
6:59
Speaker 1: have another walmup when I'm sure what the track is
7:01
Speaker 1: going to be. But last year we're talking to Amy
7:04
Speaker 1: during the week and this just reminded me of this
7:06
Speaker 1: song and this is cooling the gang and celebration. Roan
7:36
Speaker 1: Adams nineteen ninety six. Only thing that looks good on
7:44
Speaker 1: me is you okay? Sunday morning saw me on the
7:52
Speaker 1: mic at the Deal with the forty third Deal ten
7:55
Speaker 1: K Now his nickname is the Dinosaur ten K after
7:59
Speaker 1: former found member of the Deal tri Club Roger Francis Darby,
8:03
Speaker 1: who sadly passed away in the year two thousand of
8:05
Speaker 1: skin cancer and always referred to himself as an old Dinosaur. Consequently,
8:10
Speaker 1: a considerable percentage of the profits or donated to the
8:14
Speaker 1: East Kent Hospital's University Trust Dermatology department. So what a
8:18
Speaker 1: great gesture from the club to remember Roger in a
8:22
Speaker 1: way that he likes with the running and to help
8:25
Speaker 1: support the dermatology department at the hospital. Well, the day
8:29
Speaker 1: was pretty fresh and I know the rain stayed away,
8:30
Speaker 1: but it's always on the coast. If there's a wind,
8:33
Speaker 1: isn't there you've got to run one way with it
8:35
Speaker 1: or one way against it. The junior race started at
8:38
Speaker 1: nine point thirty with sixty one children. Was a lovely
8:41
Speaker 1: sight to see. Actually it always gets the mums and
8:45
Speaker 1: dads going and the spectators cheering just and the kids
8:48
Speaker 1: love it, absolutely love it. But you always get one,
8:51
Speaker 1: don't you. I don't like running, mummy, I don't want
8:54
Speaker 1: to be here. I want to go home. But it
8:56
Speaker 1: was a good fun day. It was out and back
8:59
Speaker 1: fifteen hundre me a distance. First boy in in five
9:03
Speaker 1: minutes thirty eight seconds was Charlie from Whitecliffe's Athletics and
9:06
Speaker 1: Running Club and the first girl home in sixth place
9:09
Speaker 1: was Jallia in six minutes twenty four seconds. Now the
9:14
Speaker 1: signor A started at ten o'clock with two hundred and
9:16
Speaker 1: thirty eight runners taking part Home Club Deal Try runner
9:20
Speaker 1: Toby Smith was declared the winner in a time of
9:23
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes thirty seven seconds and first lady home
9:26
Speaker 1: was Erin Malloy from Orion Harriers. Now I to look
9:29
Speaker 1: this one up. I didn't know where it was, but
9:31
Speaker 1: it's in Wartham Forest in Essex and her time was
9:34
Speaker 1: forty three minutes and three seconds. Now, there was a
9:38
Speaker 1: distinct lack of folks and runners there today. I think
9:40
Speaker 1: they might ever must have had a day off or
9:42
Speaker 1: targeted another race. But there were ten South Kent Harriers
9:45
Speaker 1: took part and with notable performances from Ian Major who
9:49
Speaker 1: was first over sixty mail in forty three minutes thirty
9:52
Speaker 1: five seconds and Mike Hayley who's been seems to have
9:55
Speaker 1: been running forever. Mike, he was the first over seventies
9:58
Speaker 1: male in a time of it was a splendid time
10:01
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes twenty three seconds, So well done to
10:04
Speaker 1: you two. Now. The other eight harriers that took part
10:07
Speaker 1: were Andrew Davey, Lana Wright, Jenny Spillane, Nikola Joyce, John Sweeney,
10:13
Speaker 1: Ian Thomason and former guests of the show Ellie Curran.
10:17
Speaker 1: And it was nice to see Barbara Hunt there cheering
10:20
Speaker 1: them all in. So it was a good day. It
10:22
Speaker 1: was a good fun day and they are a lovely club.
10:24
Speaker 1: I do like working with deal Try Club and they
10:27
Speaker 1: do they do so much in the community. It was
10:30
Speaker 1: Carnival week, you know, and it was just like the
10:33
Speaker 1: start of the Carnival week is sitting Stone this one
10:36
Speaker 1: and it was a good turnout. There was a few
10:39
Speaker 1: There was another club there. Where did she come from?
10:41
Speaker 1: There was a lady came down from Coventry. She was
10:45
Speaker 1: a very very good runner, do you know what. I
10:48
Speaker 1: can't remember the name of the club, but I did
10:49
Speaker 1: ask her to come over and tell me where she
10:51
Speaker 1: came from. She came down for the weekend to see
10:54
Speaker 1: her mum and had a race as well. So now
10:58
Speaker 1: that was the That was my Sunday, and there must
11:01
Speaker 1: have been the sunday before that. It was wathering Heat's day.
11:05
Speaker 1: Now did you go down there? Did you dress up
11:09
Speaker 1: in red? And that's just the fellas well. Me and
11:12
Speaker 1: missus Ferrett. We went down there, down to Harbor Arm
11:14
Speaker 1: on the first session. We chose the wrong one, I
11:17
Speaker 1: tell you. We went down and the weather wasn't nice
11:20
Speaker 1: at all, but there must have been a thousand people
11:23
Speaker 1: dressed in red wathering away and it really was a spectacle.
11:29
Speaker 1: There was one single paddle boarder out there. I think
11:32
Speaker 1: he was a photographer, but he was joining in as well.
11:36
Speaker 1: And then we went home got soaking wet. But it
11:39
Speaker 1: turned out that the people that went down for the
11:41
Speaker 1: afternoon had a splendid day. The sun was out. You know,
11:45
Speaker 1: it looked so much I don't know, much more fun
11:49
Speaker 1: if you like, everything that you do in this country
11:51
Speaker 1: needs the hot weather, doesn't it. It needs a bit of sunshine.
11:54
Speaker 1: And the people that did it in the afternoon were really,
11:57
Speaker 1: really luky, like they was enjoying ourselves. And there was
12:00
Speaker 1: been loads and loads of clips on social media and
12:03
Speaker 1: even on the ITV news. I'll see you a few
12:06
Speaker 1: embarrassing pictures of people dancing and if you like, not
12:12
Speaker 1: in tune, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter. He
12:15
Speaker 1: tried to learn the dance, but if you went wrong,
12:17
Speaker 1: it just did not matter. So I've been trying to
12:21
Speaker 1: play this song for a little while now, so I've
12:23
Speaker 1: got an excuse. And so here we go, taking you
12:26
Speaker 1: back to that rainy, sunny day, back on the Harbor arm.
12:30
Speaker 1: Here's Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights, when like, Okay, Bush,
13:03
Speaker 1: there are you at your desk in the office, heard
13:08
Speaker 1: this song and you just got to get up and
13:10
Speaker 1: do the dance. I think that's how it gets you.
13:17
Speaker 1: You know, if you're at home, you're you're practicing. And
13:21
Speaker 1: I will say fair play to the lot that we're
13:23
Speaker 1: dancing in the rain and we we stuck it out
13:27
Speaker 1: as well, you know. But they did the first one
13:29
Speaker 1: and there was a massive cheer and it was pouring
13:31
Speaker 1: down the rain and the MC, I can't remember who
13:35
Speaker 1: it was, said to them, do you want to do
13:38
Speaker 1: it again? And they all say yeah, so fair play
13:41
Speaker 1: to them. So and it's a long song. It's a
13:44
Speaker 1: sort of a four minute song. Okay, you can take
13:46
Speaker 1: your red dress off now and get back you to
13:48
Speaker 1: your computer. Right, So we're gonna what we're gonna talk
13:52
Speaker 1: about now. We've got some some mixed hockey league. Yeah,
13:58
Speaker 1: I've got some results from Friday. We do those first.
14:01
Speaker 2: Now.
14:01
Speaker 1: Last Friday it was Holcombe three, Maidstone Lions three, Ken
14:05
Speaker 1: Police two, Ashford Sharks three, Cliftonville one, Canterbury Green Team one,
14:11
Speaker 1: South Saxons two and Ashford Tigers neil. And it goes
14:15
Speaker 1: again this Friday at the three Hills. We've got Canterbury
14:19
Speaker 1: Reds are playing the Madstone Iguanda Dons, the OPPS Blues
14:23
Speaker 1: are playing Herne Bay, Ashford Sharks are playing at Maidstone
14:26
Speaker 1: Lions and the OPPS White team are playing Holcombe and
14:30
Speaker 1: a big thanks to Amy. They're from the Optimist Club
14:33
Speaker 1: for all that information. Now the fixtures are out for
14:38
Speaker 1: the men's and the ladies First eleven's hockey. The men
14:41
Speaker 1: start this season on the twentieth September in the South
14:44
Speaker 1: East Premier Division with an away fixture at Woking, and
14:48
Speaker 1: the ladies start on the same day in the South
14:51
Speaker 1: East Division one East Section with the home fixture against
14:55
Speaker 1: the Marden Russets. Now this year, I mean, as if
14:58
Speaker 1: they're not big enough right, the OPS are fielding eight
15:01
Speaker 1: men's teams plus six ladies teams. Now last year was
15:05
Speaker 1: just five, and I think a couple of years before
15:08
Speaker 1: that it was just four. The new sixth team is
15:11
Speaker 1: what they call a development eleven. Now, thanks to the
15:14
Speaker 1: OPS and media guru Amy, I kind of had a
15:17
Speaker 1: rough idea what a media sorry, what a development eleven was.
15:21
Speaker 1: But I found out that you have to be thirteen
15:24
Speaker 1: to play adult hockey. But youngsters can play development hockey
15:29
Speaker 1: at the age of twelve, but as loan as long
15:32
Speaker 1: as it's in a dedicated league. Because to be fair,
15:35
Speaker 1: and a lot of players do stay with the game.
15:38
Speaker 1: You know, they might have been in the first team
15:39
Speaker 1: then in the second, but they love the game. They
15:42
Speaker 1: realized they're not as sharp and fit as they used
15:44
Speaker 1: to be, and so they drop down and helped the
15:46
Speaker 1: youngsters up. And this is what I Development eleven is
15:49
Speaker 1: all about. So we'll downe to you, ops and looking
15:52
Speaker 1: forward to I mean, all those results. It's enough to
15:56
Speaker 1: pack a whole show in, isn't it. So that is
15:59
Speaker 1: eight and six, it's twelve six and six is twel
16:02
Speaker 1: thirty fourteen? Yeah, of course it is fourteen teams? Well
16:06
Speaker 1: how many? How many players?
16:07
Speaker 3: Is that?
16:08
Speaker 1: Fourteen times eleven? One hundred and sixty four? I think
16:11
Speaker 1: I worked it out as let's just playing stuff. Oh wow, okay,
16:15
Speaker 1: I'm for a time for a bit of music now
16:16
Speaker 1: and this is Shaggy and it wasn't me. Oh honey,
16:21
Speaker 1: game then you got me round and then with a bomb,
16:38
Speaker 1: that's Shaggy in denial. There, it wasn't him, okay. Never
16:48
Speaker 1: got a few football snippets that Saturday focused and in
16:52
Speaker 1: Victor drew Neil Neil with a higher opposition time Bridge Angels,
16:56
Speaker 1: and on Tuesday evening it was an away fixture against
16:59
Speaker 1: Dover which in up in a four to three victory
17:01
Speaker 1: to Folkston. Now I won't say too much about that,
17:04
Speaker 1: because Adrian was at both those games and he would
17:06
Speaker 1: be back on Saturday and he'd be telling us all
17:09
Speaker 1: about just what it was like this Saturday in Victor
17:12
Speaker 1: travel away to Haunt Church for their final friendly, and
17:17
Speaker 1: so we can hear more about Adrian's view of everything
17:19
Speaker 1: up to now, because it's basically a brand new team,
17:23
Speaker 1: isn't it. And I think the spectators are getting a
17:25
Speaker 1: little bit excited. But of course in the meantime they've
17:28
Speaker 1: got a way to see them at home because the
17:31
Speaker 1: three G pitch isn't ready, won't be ready till about October,
17:35
Speaker 1: so they've got a lot of away fixtures, thank you
17:37
Speaker 1: to the league, and they're going to ground share with
17:39
Speaker 1: Margate until the pitch is ready. Now. Hivetown actually started
17:44
Speaker 1: this season in the Southern Counties East Football League with
17:47
Speaker 1: a three nil away win at Corinthian and this Saturday
17:51
Speaker 1: they're at home now listen to this, already second week
17:53
Speaker 1: into the season and they are home to Little Hampton
17:57
Speaker 1: in the FA Cup Extra preliminary round. Could you have
18:01
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. You've always thought the sort of
18:03
Speaker 1: FA Cup started around about December or January, but no,
18:06
Speaker 1: it's starting this Saturday. Now the FA Cup is worth
18:11
Speaker 1: This particular game in the FAA Cup FA Extra Preliminary
18:16
Speaker 1: Round is worth one one hundred and twenty five pounds
18:19
Speaker 1: to the winners and three hundred and seventy five pounds
18:22
Speaker 1: to the losers. And just a little bit of a
18:25
Speaker 1: nonsense trivia. If I should get to the final, then
18:29
Speaker 1: that game and they win it, that game is worth
18:31
Speaker 1: two million pound so wow. Now in the Kent County League,
18:36
Speaker 1: which also starts this Saturday, Hawkins are at home to
18:39
Speaker 1: Guru Nanak and last year's reigning champions at New Romney
18:43
Speaker 1: started the defense of their title with an away fixture
18:47
Speaker 1: against a metro Gas, which means a trip to Thamesmead
18:50
Speaker 1: region very near to the river up there. The following
18:54
Speaker 1: week they have a home game against Falkenwood, who traveled
18:57
Speaker 1: down from a near Eltam. But this game is more
19:00
Speaker 1: than just a league game, as it sees the opening
19:03
Speaker 1: of the new clubhouse, which means that after over a
19:06
Speaker 1: year of ground sharing with Selling Sports, they returned to
19:09
Speaker 1: the Maude Pavilion in Station Road and they'd love to
19:12
Speaker 1: see a big crowd there to enjoy this occasion. And
19:15
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of ex new Romney footballers
19:17
Speaker 1: would love to go down and see the new pavilion,
19:20
Speaker 1: see what it looks like. So that's the ninth of
19:22
Speaker 1: August for a two forty five kickoff, and I'll be
19:25
Speaker 1: telling you about that once again next week or on
19:29
Speaker 1: Saturday or leading up to that. It's a big occasion. Actually,
19:33
Speaker 1: now we can't go too far on a sports show
19:37
Speaker 1: without mentioning the Lionesses. Did you see that final? Why
19:41
Speaker 1: did they do it to us? Hey? Every England final
19:44
Speaker 1: seems to be penalties, but they stuck to it. They've
19:47
Speaker 1: got a lot of plays praise, they've got a lot
19:50
Speaker 1: of stick from the Spanish team and don't like to
19:52
Speaker 1: say too much, but they don't like being beaten today.
19:56
Speaker 1: And so anyway they went through, they got to the
19:58
Speaker 1: gate that last penalty, she kicked her knee up and
20:02
Speaker 1: smashed it into the net. And what a finale. And
20:06
Speaker 1: I did see the clip of the of the open
20:08
Speaker 1: top bus tour going around London and how amazing that
20:11
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people turned out to see and
20:14
Speaker 1: welcome them home. And quite rightly so. They've certainly made
20:18
Speaker 1: a stamp on the football minds of a lot of people,
20:22
Speaker 1: a lot of people were a bit skeptical about ladies
20:24
Speaker 1: football when it first came out, but now, you know,
20:27
Speaker 1: to be fair, during the Euro's TV figures went up
20:30
Speaker 1: and even the fellas and are starting to enjoy it.
20:34
Speaker 1: So there's no other song to play really except this one,
20:37
Speaker 1: because for the retaining the European Championship for the second time,
20:42
Speaker 1: you could only play one song, and this is Queen
20:45
Speaker 1: and we are the champions. Dear.
20:50
Speaker 2: Time after time, I've done my sentence, but no crys.
21:06
Speaker 4: I've made a view.
21:32
Speaker 1: And that's for the Lionesses and all these supporters that
21:36
Speaker 1: have encouraged them and really really enjoyed the tournament. They
21:42
Speaker 1: they do. I've got no nails left of view. It's
21:47
Speaker 1: but they stuck it out and you've got admire them
21:49
Speaker 1: for their teamwork, their resilience, they're just the way they battled.
21:53
Speaker 1: So that was for you Lionesses and all the fans
21:56
Speaker 1: and all the new fans that have got a new
21:58
Speaker 1: awakening looking aties football. Okay, so we're going to kind
22:02
Speaker 1: of chill chill it down a little bit now in
22:04
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, and I love this song. This is
22:06
Speaker 1: the cause, and so young. That's the cause they're so young.
22:30
Speaker 1: Remember them. I think they were like three sisters and
22:33
Speaker 1: one brother actually Irish group. But yeah, yeah, came along.
22:37
Speaker 1: Lovely style of music, yeah love it. Okay, Now I've
22:40
Speaker 1: got some running snippets. Now you may remember that South
22:43
Speaker 1: Kept mind in conjunction with Buston Water and folkst And
22:47
Speaker 1: Running and Athletics Club set up a three accouch to
22:50
Speaker 1: five k course and they're nearly halfway through it. Five
22:53
Speaker 1: new members have been going every Monday and are doing
22:56
Speaker 1: well under the guidance of experienced runners and coaches. Now
23:00
Speaker 1: the aim is not to turn them into running superstars,
23:03
Speaker 1: but to improve their mental health, their confidence, make them
23:05
Speaker 1: feel that they're part of a like minded group. Have had,
23:08
Speaker 1: of course, to keep them fear so. A big thanks
23:10
Speaker 1: go to Running Club members Katherine O'Connor, Darren Crewe and
23:14
Speaker 1: Jodi Stokes, and South Kent Minds, a fundraiser, and Folks
23:18
Speaker 1: and Optimists Men's first team player Joe Tolhurst who set
23:22
Speaker 1: up this group.
23:23
Speaker 3: Now.
23:23
Speaker 1: Please visit the South k Mindes facebook page for all
23:25
Speaker 1: their activities, especially look at for the firewalk at the
23:28
Speaker 1: Three Hills. It's on Friday the twelve September. All the
23:33
Speaker 1: details are there and should you want to take part,
23:35
Speaker 1: there is a frequently asked questions section that you might
23:40
Speaker 1: find interesting. But basically it's an entry fee of twenty pound,
23:45
Speaker 1: but they suggested a minimum sponsorship of eighty pounds. Now,
23:48
Speaker 1: if you get together with your friends get a team
23:51
Speaker 1: of five, it's works out even cheaper because you cost
23:55
Speaker 1: you The team of five costs your eighty pounds, so
23:57
Speaker 1: basically you get one place free and there The suggested
24:01
Speaker 1: minimum sponsorship for the whole team is three hundred and
24:04
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, so instead of doing it singlely and suggested
24:08
Speaker 1: his eighty pound, if you do as a team, they
24:10
Speaker 1: suggest it's more like forty five pounds. So have a
24:14
Speaker 1: little look at that and I might go along and
24:16
Speaker 1: watch that. Oh Joe did ask me if I wanted
24:18
Speaker 1: to go in for it, but I decided to say no.
24:22
Speaker 1: But it saw a thing that's very good for the spectators,
24:26
Speaker 1: so it might be worth a little trip down there.
24:29
Speaker 2: Well.
24:29
Speaker 1: Our local park run tourists hit the road last Saturday
24:32
Speaker 1: at venues in the UK and further Afield. Malcolm and
24:36
Speaker 1: Julie Gibbs ran the Rutland Water Park Run in East Midlands.
24:41
Speaker 1: Gail Turbert was in Braley Forest in Nottinghamshire. Tristan Bruce
24:46
Speaker 1: was in the alice Holt Forest in Hampshire. And the
24:49
Speaker 1: last time we were in alice Holt Forest who were
24:51
Speaker 1: doing a race there. I was doing a commentary and
24:54
Speaker 1: Missus Ferrett decided to go off for a little run.
24:56
Speaker 1: We thought, oh, she can't get lost, you know, just
24:58
Speaker 1: go out follow the Horris trail, turned around to come back.
25:02
Speaker 1: But she come back. She was shake it like believe.
25:04
Speaker 1: I said, what's happened? What's happening? She said? I was
25:06
Speaker 1: running along, said and the deer jumped out in front
25:08
Speaker 1: of me. Well, I've never seen a move so fast
25:10
Speaker 1: honestly anyway. Other park run tourists were Brian Brian Austin.
25:16
Speaker 1: He ran in Didcot which is just south of Oxford,
25:19
Speaker 1: Phil Mall and Sylvia Talkaska. They've ran the Y Promenade
25:23
Speaker 1: abber War Park Run and now that's near Snowdonia and
25:26
Speaker 1: he's actually called the Why the letter Y Promenade and
25:30
Speaker 1: a lot of people do go there. They make a
25:31
Speaker 1: bee line for that place because they are doing the
25:34
Speaker 1: ater z Alphabet and why well it's a daughter wasn't it,
25:39
Speaker 1: And also it must have been a nice time a
25:42
Speaker 1: different different park run, different venue. Jordan Jesson found himself
25:46
Speaker 1: in Roberts Park in West Yorkshire. Henry and Amy Akson
25:50
Speaker 1: traveled to Newborough Forest in Wells, Wales. And finally I
25:54
Speaker 1: thought to myself looking through the list, I thought, oh,
25:56
Speaker 1: I know where this one is. River Valley Park run
25:58
Speaker 1: in Edmonton, as in North London, so I thought we'll
26:01
Speaker 1: better check it out. Anyway, I did check it out
26:03
Speaker 1: as good as I did, because Linnaire Stockhol was actually
26:06
Speaker 1: in Edmonton in Alberta in Canada, so so that was
26:12
Speaker 1: a good story. And I must get catch up with
26:14
Speaker 1: Linnea and find out what the park run sort of
26:18
Speaker 1: see them. I don't know what the scene is out there,
26:21
Speaker 1: whether they're really into it or she was just lucky
26:23
Speaker 1: and found one when she was out on holiday. Anyway,
26:26
Speaker 1: this one's from nineteen eighty nine. This is Kirsty McCall and.
26:29
Speaker 3: They thank you for the day, Sacred.
26:44
Speaker 1: Days the gentle voice of Kirsty McCall. There and Days
27:03
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty nine. Now after I went to Diamond
27:07
Speaker 1: League a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't had
27:08
Speaker 1: a chance to tell you about it, because we've had
27:10
Speaker 1: guests in and guests Paul Egan and his team last
27:13
Speaker 1: week and it was so interesting. I don't think we
27:15
Speaker 1: got a word in. So I went to the State
27:18
Speaker 1: of London Stadium, first time for me in the London
27:21
Speaker 1: Stadium so easy to get to, especially if you're a
27:23
Speaker 1: west Ham supporter. Sixty thousand fans there. Now we were
27:27
Speaker 1: at the end nearest the pole vault, which was and
27:31
Speaker 1: British athlete Molly Cordery your name was. She jumped four
27:35
Speaker 1: meters sixty She stayed with the leaders all the way
27:38
Speaker 1: until the New Zealand lady Oliver McTaggart won the competition.
27:42
Speaker 1: That she got a personal best vault of four personal
27:45
Speaker 1: best vaults of four meters seventy three, which in old
27:49
Speaker 1: money is fifteen foot six inches. To be fair, the
27:55
Speaker 1: other athletes joined jumped the same distance, but she she
27:59
Speaker 1: got it first time, so she didn't have as many
28:01
Speaker 1: failures as the others. But the highlight of seeing the
28:04
Speaker 1: ninth relay team, the nineteen ninety seven relay team receiving
28:08
Speaker 1: their medals, which they deserved, and that was because the
28:12
Speaker 1: Americans owned up to cheating back in the day and
28:16
Speaker 1: so it's good to see all four of them standing
28:18
Speaker 1: up getting the accolade they deserve from her home crowd.
28:22
Speaker 1: That was Let's see, there was five of them actually,
28:25
Speaker 1: Roger Black, Jamie buch You and Thomas, Mark Richardson and
28:29
Speaker 1: Mark Hilton. Well they have five because one of them,
28:33
Speaker 1: Mark Hilton, did actually help the guys in the early round,
28:37
Speaker 1: so he was part of the team and deserved the
28:39
Speaker 1: medal as well. Well, that's it from me. I shall
28:42
Speaker 1: be back at the weekend between ten and eleven for
28:45
