  Speaker 1: I say, no Kev this morning, so there's no local

  Speaker 1: have a good old chat with them and give you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a bit of insight into what's happening with the newest
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: experience in Folkestone. OK, last night at the Leescliff Hall,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the Beat were in town. probably a lot of you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: remember them, but if you're my sort of age of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: between 50 and 60, Dave Wakelin's beat come all the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: way over from America. And this is one of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: tracks that they played last night. This is Can't Get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Used to Losing You. Can't Get Used to Losing You
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: there you go the beat can't get used to losing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You classic first done by Andy Williams back in the 60s.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Blimey Anyway, that was the beat. That was from 1980
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and that was Can't Get Used To Losing You. As
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I said, just before that one, we've got the Techers
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: boys in. I'm going to speak to Robbie first. Good morning, Robbie.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I'm good, thank you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You're good, okay. And I believe the Techers come about
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all because of an idea by yourself. Is that correct?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Tell us a bit more about it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Well, a couple of years ago, I had this birthday
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: party where I went in Bluewater and it was borderless
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: here and I enjoyed it, but I thought, Maybe if
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I was a bit younger, I'd enjoy it more. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Folkestone is lacking this sort of idea and play experience.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So a couple of years later, I made the idea
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: up and then showed it to my dad. And we
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: both agreed it was a good idea. Then, fortunately, there's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a place that came around and we're here now.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Because of it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The venue yeah yeah yeah okay um you said you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: went to a party was it the same sort of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: thing that you have now in folkestone or is it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was it slightly different to the experience you had on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: your birthday yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: It's like quite similar to our you know business.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Okay so you you had the idea and it is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and uh obviously your dad thought that's not a bad idea.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's essentially what happened.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah well i mean you said that uh it lacked
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Folkestone lacks that sort of thing. I mean, for a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: youngster growing up in Folkestone, there isn't a great deal
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for you lot to do, is there really? I mean, back,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: back in my day, we used to have lots of different,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we used to have to make our own entertainment most
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of the time, but, uh, we used to have the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: rotunda and we used to have the, you know, things
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like that, but, um, and the sports center, we haven't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: even got a sports center. I mean, I know they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: are trying to bring the sports center back, uh, but, uh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: experiences like yourselves, uh, the tech, the techers experience, um,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it you know it can only be a good thing
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: for folkestone um how many how long ago was this
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you had the idea like a year ago okay so
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it's been a year in the making with that uh yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: We're just like brainstorming it and.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You know okay so a lot of the things are
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: there was there any new ideas that you had that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you didn't have at the party that you went to.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah we added like a bit more ideas like of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: pool table it was another party we just made it together.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah i saw that is this pool table it's like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: um it was about 10 12 foot long yeah and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: uh you don't use cues you use your feet don't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you yeah big footballs i did see that i'm thinking
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: i might have to have a go at that that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: looks that looks quite good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: It's quite hard but it's fun at the same time.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah i do use use like two footballs one to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like you were doing snooze or pool and you you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kick the ball and you try to have to kick
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that one into the yeah into the pocket that does
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: look good uh tell us a little bit more about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the um other experiences you have when you you know
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: during the uh during the event whoops sorry but smashing
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the studio up um you know like uh you we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: say like the pool table what else do you have there.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: We have this um the gaming area where kids could
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: play fifa and other games and then we also have
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a foosball table where they could play table football alongside
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that our main attraction is the projector where you could
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: play many sort of games like kicking the asteroids blowing
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: bubbles and box break okay and then also we have
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a football pitch that's like at the end of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: party they have like a five-a-side.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Match okay it's not an actual game though is it
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you or do you have to play a game it's an.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Experience like every football games collection mixed into like one experience.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Okay Yeah, I saw the pictures where you got like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a crossbar challenge, I remember seeing.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's part of the match experience as well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool. And also, thanks for that, Rob, we'll come
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: back to you in a minute. We have the manager there,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: which is Ryan. Good morning, Ryan.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And you're overseeing the venture.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I am indeed, yes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Tell us a bit about how you become involved.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: So I've known Robbie's dad for a couple of years now.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: We've done business together in the past and just sort
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: of our friendships blossomed as time's gone on.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And that's basically it really.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: And he's asked me to come on and help the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: guys just to do like all the behind the scenes stuff.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: So like the health and safety and, you know, because
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I have like a school's background.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: And I do have a, like a sports coaching background
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: as well. So I used to be a tennis coach.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I'm a qualified football coach as well.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So you know your stuff.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I'd like to think so.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So how did you hear about the idea from Mo?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Robbie's dad is very persuasive.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Let's put it that way.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: He's very, very passionate about obviously helping his son out.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And it, yeah it's just great to hear and he
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: sold me within the first few minutes of talking about
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: it so.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah i mean i i was i've seen the the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: development from the um in the actual arena would you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: call it arena raw.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah i i guess so yeah yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah or you know the the whole thing i mean
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: i've seen it from the bear um you know nothing
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in that particular area to you know the little stages
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: going on where bits and pieces have all been made. Um,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and to see the finished product now, it's, it's quite remarkable.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It looks, it looks, does look excellent. It looks really good. And, um,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. We'll talk about the, what's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the name of that? Trying to book and what, you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: your bits and pieces in it. Um, uh, and it's,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is for, um, Groups are booked, isn't it? It's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: not just a one-off where one person could just come
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: up and do this. You need to be in a group.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: So it's not like a pay-and-play where you can just
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: turn up just because sometimes of the logistics of where
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: we're located because we're above the Petticoat Lane Emporium. So
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: obviously getting to it is okay, but we have to
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: obviously show people through, which is, you know, that's fine. So, yeah. Sorry.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's fine. Sometimes, you know, when you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: put a microphone in front of somebody, they've got all
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: these ideas in their head. And then when we come
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to do it, you go, oh. So I think what
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we'll do, we'll stick another song on. And we might
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: bring Mo in as well in a few moments. He's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the financial banking behind it all, I do believe. Anyway,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we'll play this one. This is The Colour Field from 1985.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And this is Thinking of You.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Thinking of you.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Thinking of you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The Lake Terry Hall and The Colour Field.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: There you go, the Lake Terry Hall and the colour-filled
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Thinking of You from 1985. Blimey, I remember going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: see them at the Hammersmith Palais. What a night that was.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: We've got Mo now in the hot seat from Techers.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mo. How are you doing?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Very well, thank you for having us. Good morning to everybody.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: He's kind of all shy there now. I've heard that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Mo can talk for Britain, is that correct? and Europe and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: The other countries it was me.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Well we've heard from Ryan we've heard a little bit
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: from Robbie about Robbie's thoughts about you know he went
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to a party and he's come back with this idea
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: take it from there yeah on your perspective.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: He we went to a birthday party as he explained
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a few years ago for his birthday and we all
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: had a great time and when he when he come
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: back He was kind of like, oh, Dad, that'd be
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: brilliant if we could do something like this, more local,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and this, that, and other than myself, my nephews who went,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: and my cousins in like a WhatsApp group started brainstorming
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: some ideas with Robbie at the lead. Then he kind
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: of like disappeared for a little bit. Then he come
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: back to us, and then in, you know, the market
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: where we were both at?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: At the import room, yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: We were there one day and just found a space upstairs,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and Robbie goes, Dad, this would be a great place
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to do that football idea. So I looked to him
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and talked to him and said, look, you go away.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Your other ideas go. Come with a plan.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Ideas are great, but we need a plan. And then
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: he come back to me a few weeks later with
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a dossier and a plan. I showed my wife and
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, how can I say no to this kid? Oh, bless.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I just looked at it. Yeah, let's see if it's feasible.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Let's see if we can do it. So he's obviously
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the main guy. Myself and my dad obviously have helped
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: him financially. And we've just done it. We're here now.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: So we're really proud of him and the idea. We
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: just got now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Promote the idea.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, promote the idea.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be great. As I say, I was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there from the beginning when I saw it being built,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, you know, what the hell's this going
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to be? And, you know, you've got, like, all the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: changing rooms where you sit down, and you've got, like,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the shirts up, and you've got a trophy, you've got, like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the fans on the walls and everything. It looks really,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: really good. I mean, you've done a good, you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: visually done a really good job. Now you've got to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: promote the.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The idea really now.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the business.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like when obviously you spoke to someone
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: like yourself and other people and then we had just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like AI images to show the vision of what we're
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: trying to do. When I speak to somebody or showing
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: somebody or getting people in to do work, you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Robbie was there and I was there. People just look
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: at me and Robbie like... This is what you lot
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: guys are thinking. They couldn't see it visually.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: No.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And then luckily, a good friend of mine, I'm going
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: to shout him out, and you know him very well, Danny,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Danny Foss, come involved. Me and Danny being friends with
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: kids that were such football fans. So for us, it
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: was like being kids and making this like a little
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: dream and a part we were doing. So we'd done
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: it between ourselves and the vision we had as well.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: We were able to do this, that, et cetera. Robbie
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: had a few ideas, and obviously sometimes ideas aren't feasible
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: and they might not work practically.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Danny was there to go, look, he's got the building experience,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: we do this, and we were governed by the space
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: as well. Of course. So obviously, to explain Techers completely,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: it's an indoor football gaming centre for children. So we
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: want to have a football pitch and we want to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: have activities as well. So we want to make it
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: all nice, safe, main thing as well for the kids
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: to come. So with the space we had, between myself,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Danny and Robbie, were able to now use the space.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw it, as I say, when Danny was there.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And he said, oh, we're doing... Because I think I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: turned up one day, I had a football shirt on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, you like football? And then we got talking.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And he said, oh, we're doing this. And he showed
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: me the room. And I'm thinking, well, this is a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: blank space. How are you going to do anything in here?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And it's hard for me to visualise what he was
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: going to do.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I just have a lot of people, even myself. And,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you know... You know, until Danny come along and, you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: show that you've got this stuff, you've got this stuff here, etc. Oh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: something's happening. It's my phone. Is that?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Get rid of it. Prospected spam, so go away.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I thought Halloween come early for a second. Got scared there.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: And then, yeah, like I said, with Danny's experience in
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the building trade, he was able to say, look. It's
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: all great having a space, but how do you make
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the space work? We had to do soundproofing, a lot
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: of safety stuff as well for the children and stuff
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you have the idea and you've
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: got to make it all safe and everything.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. So we've done that as well. We've
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: gone the route of not skipping corners, not cunning corners.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I get that, yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: A lot on the safety element because obviously if people
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: are coming and the children come in, We want everyone
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to not just have fun, but mainly feel that this
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is a safe space for them in every way, yeah?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Like safeguarding, et cetera. Of course. But leading on to that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: maybe in the next few weeks, we're just not real...
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: social media savvy people we're getting there we've got a
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: team like Ryan and ourselves and a few people helping
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: us but there will be a video soon coming of
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the journey from the beginning so if people see the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: space like me and you've seen it and they see
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: what the space was they'll see a video soon for
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the journey from the beginning to how we've made and
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I think I'm not just saying this but a lot
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of people come up the work we've done in there
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and the final finish is like.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Really it's a fantastic finish I'll give you that it
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: does look you know brilliant everything that you've done is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: professionally done.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It's to a very high standard. The thing I like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: most of all, out of everything that you've done, I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: like the way you've got the fans all the way
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: around the picture.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I think that looks really, really good.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It comes off really well. It comes off really well.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And then another shout-out to Sanger Printers, who were the
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: guys who got us all the fans and the pictures
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. When I was going, I shouted
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: out personally to the individual, Sean at Sanger Printers, when
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I was going to him with this stuff, because I've
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: got an account there of another business, he was looking
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: at me like, really?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Are you mad?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: How do you do this? How do you do that?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You know, like, you know, you can use AI in
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: this generation to make this, to make that, but it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: got a bit about the quality.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: And then it was like, I can't even think of
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the word, but 300 DCI or the picture. Otherwise you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: print something, it will just fade and the quality won't
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: be there. So he had to really re-change and do it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: And he done a lot of stuff above and beyond
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: for me when I was just texting him constantly or
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: coming around constantly. And he was like, his favorite word
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: to me was, no, I can't do that. I can't
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: do that I always tell him something I say that
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: he's shaking his head but honestly the stuff he's done
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and the whole team the finish is amazing we were
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: so made up for what they've done.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: For us okay that you know that's nice to hear
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that they've sort of they could say no we can't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: do that and then that would be the end of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think it was no it
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: was kind of like I've got a million other things
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to do that's what it was you know I've got
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: him on today actually he's doing something today and then
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: he's got he's finished at 11 I didn't know the
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: show was going to go on to be on 11
• 17:02

• 17:05
  Speaker 3: me to pick up some posters some leaflets there on
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: today lovely people I highly recommend Sanger that's a plug
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: for them as.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Well why not local as well yeah I'm going to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: stick another tune on And then you can tell us
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: about what we'd expect when we have the experience. Yeah, yeah, cool. Well,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday evening, as you know, I've not been too
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: well last week or so. Yeah, man flu, as the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: wife would say. But I actually managed to get me
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: out of bed and I went along to the Dover
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Booking Hall on Wednesday evening. And one of my favourite
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: bands from when I was growing up, was a band
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: called The Skids from Dunfermline in Scotland. And they had
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a few minor hits. And I'm going to play you
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: one of them. And this one is called... I believe
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it's called Masquerade. There you go, Richard Jobson and the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: late Stuart Adamson of the skids. And that was called
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Masquerade from 1978. Blimey. How old were you in 78, Mo?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I was unborn.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I thought you knew who was going to say that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: How old was I?
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: 13.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, God. God, I feel old now.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Don't look at my man.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's my boyish good looks. That fountain of youth is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: called the English Channel. I've been in there for ages.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Would you want to swim in the English Channel?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Not on a day like this.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Not on a day in the summer, to be honest.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think the last time I swam in the English
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Channel was in the harbour and there was lots of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: things swimming around me that shouldn't have been there. I've
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: said no more for that one. Anyway, we've got Ryan
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and Mo here. Okay, gentlemen, the experience. Tell us what
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the paying public would expect to find on one of
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: your techers' experience.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I'll start from the beginning. We are located
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: in Petticoat Market Lane in town, where the Old Wilkinson is.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: We're on the second floor. When you arrive, say you've
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: got a booking, for example, at 1 o'clock, one of
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: our member staffs will be at the reception, will take
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: you to a designated reception area. introduce you, then we
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: start the party. So what the parties are, we have
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: three designated birthday parties or celebration parties or football team gathering,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: or just a party in general. One is a Premier League,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: which you get an hour for 10 kids. Another package
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: is an hour and a half. It's Champions League for
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: 12 children. And then we have a final package, World Cup,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: which is minimum eight children. And you get to have
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: hot and cold food options as well, which is brilliant.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Where you can have a table on the football pitch.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So you can imagine the scenery. The kids are sitting
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: there with the food set up on the football pitch
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: with the tables. It's brilliant to see.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: We get some images.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: On our social soon. And then we have two other parties.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: One is a bespoke one, which is Ballon d'Or. You
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: can have an hour, two hours, whatever you want, how
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: many children you need. We just do that. You just
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: email us direct. And the last party, which we've introduced
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: for half term, is just a taster session. It's an
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: FA Cup session for 45 minutes. You can have four
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: to six children. They can do free play, any game,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: We've got going on with set up from that's a
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: for 45 minutes and it's a for 50 pounder We're
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: running that now through half-term. It's become really popular this week.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: We've got quite a lot already good We've got a
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: few today after we leave here. And so we're thinking
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: after half-term when we go back to normal We'll do
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: those sessions like on a on a Saturday on a
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Sunday like early. That's really the parties we've got but
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the main thing we're trying to do obviously we want
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: people to come in it's a business and But we've
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: got all these local companies helping us and sponsoring us
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and partnership. I can't name everybody because I'm going to
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: miss so many, but there are a lot. We've decided,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: myself and Robbie, we're folks in residence and I've been
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: brought up here, went to school here. We really, with
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: our sponsor, want to give back to the community. So
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: between Monday and Thursday, in school terms, we're giving free
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: sessions to primary schools, children's charities, children's organisations. So if
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: there's any organisations or teachers or anybody involved with schools
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and associations, just reach out to us at infotechersuk.com. Drop
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: us an email and then we'll arrange to give your
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: school a free session, completely free from ourselves and our sponsors.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: That's our main thing. We want to give back to
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: our local community because a lot of children out there
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: want to do this and it could be for so
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: many reasons. You know, unfortunately, the climate we're in, it
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: can be financially. Also, a lot of children, you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: they've got friends, but they haven't got a massive group
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: of friends. And sometimes, unfortunately, they haven't got as many
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: friends to come to parties. But they've got classmates. So
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: one child could have like 10, 15, 20 classmates. Might
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: not have 10, 15 friends, but they could have some classmates.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: So if they do want to come. and they won't
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: have the opportunity, and it's not accessible, we'll give that
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: for free. But we need the schools, the teachers, whoever,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: to come.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Reach out to us. Yeah, so you need them to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: get in contact with you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are now. Ryan, let Ryan jump in. I
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: think I've talked enough, but we had a very positive
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: meeting the other day with a few schools, because we're
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: going to set it up after half term, and we're
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: actioning it ourselves. But, you know, from this platform, where
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you've given us to speak to people, people will want
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: to email us or contact us. We're more than happy. Like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: let Ryan.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Ryan, obviously you're the one that's overseeing
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: these events. So when they get in contact with you,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you'll obviously be able to explain everything to them. You're
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the manager there, I take it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: You're overseeing.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: And Mo's, you're in the background, Mo, or do you
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: attend events as well?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Just like radio, I'm the face. That's the best place
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: for me to be. I've got the face for radio, so.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I'll say it in the background. Yeah, I always say that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I've got the face for radio. So, yeah, I mean, obviously,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this is what we, you know, you're primarily here for
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: this morning to promote your business. And, you know, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: say you can give back to the community, which is fantastic.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is, you know, a facility that's not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: happening in Folkestone, you know, before. I mean, people, if
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: they wanted to play football, it's normally you used to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: have to... book the five-a-side pitch. Now it's at Three Hills. But,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you need, like you were saying, you need
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: at least probably ten people to have a decent game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But for you, you know, you say a minimum of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: four or five and you can go away and have
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a good time.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: So basically these FA Cup packages we've started for four
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: to six children become so popular at the moment, especially
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: for people just to see a taster. So obviously we've
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: put images up and people have heard of us. We're
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: here now. But if you want to just see what
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: it is, you can come for these small packages. Just
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: try anything. You know what? This is really good. Then
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you can then go and book a bigger package for
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: a birthday party with a small package. It just gives
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: you a tester. We spoke about this pool table. So
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: people might hear, what's a pool table? But it's actually
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: a pool table. It's built on the floor. It's 12
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: foot by 8 foot. And you stand on it, like
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Robbie and yourself alluded to earlier, and you kick the balls.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Into the pockets, yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Into the pockets. Then we've got the e-games only we've
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: got an Xbox and a Playstation where they can play
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: EA football FIFA we've got that we've got the foosball
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: which is quite self-explanatory as well but the main thing
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: we've got on the football pitch we've got a projector
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: screen which comes down and it's an interactive projector game
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: where I've not seen that one yet you haven't seen
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: that one where the kids can get a football and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: kick the ball onto the projector screen and it starts
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: you know like It's like a computer game. Interactive, isn't it? Yeah, interactive.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe Ryan could explain a bit more.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not really a computer guy. As I've not seen it, Ryan,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: explain it a little bit more.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the way it works is it tracks movement
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: from the ball. So once you hit the screen, it
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: pops a balloon or smashes an asteroid or there's like
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: a box breaker game on there as well. And then
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: obviously there's a timer. You can score points as well. And,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: you know, we could do it as a little competition
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: between everyone, but obviously at the end of the.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Day, it's just about having fun and enjoying yourself, really.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: As I say, I saw the screen, but it wasn't
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: up and running when I came in.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Technical issues at the time.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, was it?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: That was a few weeks ago. And when did you
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: start the... I know it's taken a while to actually
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: build the... But when did you go live and do
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: your first booking? When was you open from?
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Uh, we started a couple of weeks ago. We had
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: our first, uh, like big party. Um, and it went
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: really well. Um, obviously there was a few issues, but
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: you know, like anything, you know, but it's all a
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: learning experience. And obviously hopefully from that, we've like made
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: a few changes and yeah, so far so good. People
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: are saying that, you know, they're, they're really enjoying the space.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So it's really great. There is one thing I will
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: say that is in there on the, on the actual
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: football pitch. You've got, um, to one side, you've got
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a quiz, um, We.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Want to keep that quiet and secret.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't going to send you questions, but I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: will tell the listener out there that 10 questions, was it?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And how many did I get.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Right, Mo? All 10. Only person. We need to get
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: a leaderboard to put you on there straight away.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Top of the league.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I'm very impressed with your football knowledge. I like to
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: keep myself a bit of a football connoisseur of trivia
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and knowledge, but yeah, you were straight out.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, the I'm not being big, Eddie, but for me,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: they were quite easy because it went back a long way.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: It's a certain era. And also as well, what it
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: is to allude to what you're saying is that quiz
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: there is when we do give the sessions for the schools,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: that quiz there is actually mainly not just for the party,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: for the schools. We want to teach people about. heritage
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: and history. We're not trying to teach kids history or
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: be teachers, but we're trying to tell the children about
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: the heritage of England, especially England football. Myself and Robbie
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: are so lucky to be British and English, and we're
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: from a different background, but we believe in our heart,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: whatever England play, we're always following. It's a shame that
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: kids don't know this certain era. I don't want to
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: allude to it too much, but let's say the world
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: cup yeah and then we should know who bob moore
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: is we should know bobby child we should know these
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: heroes of a generation who've built up now what football
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: is yep and then when the kids see it and
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: they don't they know when they find out just to
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: see their faces when they realize what it is i
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: think every child should have that even they're not a
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: football fan they should have that in their mind of
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the history what's been built so we're trying to kind
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: of like be history teachers.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah I totally get that from the questions I saw
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: on there and I'm thinking oh you know these you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: know like you say some people probably have to think
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: quite hard about.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Them yeah even parents so we had a few parents
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: that wasn't too sure but when we've told them they've
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: realised it and I know the whole thing is that
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: no one's going to get every question unless you're yourself
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and if no one's right no one's wrong but what
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: we do in that part we bring the parents all
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the teachers together with the kids And we tell them, look,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: we'll give you a few moments. We'll go. I'm giving
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: too much away now. And then the parents or the
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: teacher can give the kids the answer because we don't
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: want children to get anything wrong. And they do it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: We just tell them, look, this is what's happened. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: they go, wow, like one child, a couple of weeks,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: it was really funny. Great answer, I thought. We asked them,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: who was the winning captain? I'll give you one question.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And he turned around and said, David Beckham. And I
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: turned around and said, I really wish it was David
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Beckham because I would have seen him in our lives.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. I mean, a lot of kids today,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: they don't realise that there was... football before the premier
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: league yeah um and it's football.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Now outside the premier league like folks and invicta well
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: you know who you follow you.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Know exactly i mean uh i mean i'm a great
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: follower of non-league football yeah and i've been following folks
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: since 1975 was my first game when i was 10
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: so you know the things that are going on at
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: folks and invicta now i've waited all my life for
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: something decent to come i'm not saying it wasn't decent
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: before but you know we we just carried on and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: if we finished in the top half of the table,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: we've done well. You know, now Josh is coming in
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: with all his money and, you know, it's come to
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: fruition that we're now in the National League South and pushing, hopefully,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: pushing towards the National League and who knows beyond that,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the Football League.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I just hope I'm still all around to see it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: We'll be big fans of supporters this year, so yeah.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, as I say, kids... Today, they
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: don't realise that there was a league before the Premier League.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I could tell you about some players. I'll give you
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: an example. Someone like Matthew Letizia.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Matthew Letizia.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: One of my favourite players. But if a certain generation
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: now want to know about Matthew Letizia, they have to
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: go back onto YouTube, etc. But if you've not seen
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a player with your own eyes and you just... Any
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: highlights clip, I know, I'm not the best footballer, but
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: if someone gave me a little highlights clip of me,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I look like I'm Panay or Maradona. We could do
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that with AI and stuff. But sometimes, like you said,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: it's not the kids' fault. It's generation.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: But we need to remind them of the history. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: that's what we're trying to do. Remind them of having
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the pride and the history of, you know what, England
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: won the World Cup in 1966. These players, all four
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: men and the manager were heroes. instill that just have
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: the pride and the passion when england played remember that's
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: what we're trying to do with the history.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Um yeah and it does come across well to be
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: perfectly honest with you i mean it is great uh
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: that uh all these things are happening and you know
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you're trying to push this i i when i saw
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: it first of all and i'm thinking i couldn't see
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the vision first of all you know looking at it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and then once it's all finished and you said you
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: know you had your open day for the sponsors and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you asked me to come along and i came along
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and i I looked and I saw the finished product
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, this is really good. I mean, I'm
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: looking at it and I'm thinking, yeah, I get it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: You know, when they come in, they sit down on
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the bench and they can have their photo taken with... Yeah,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: it's all about experience. Yeah, it's great.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Experiences and memories we're trying to create for parties, not
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: just for the children, for the parents, the spectators, everybody
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: we try to use it as a whole for everybody
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and it's an immersive experience. Me and Ryan were talking
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: earlier about Maybe we've left it a little bit late
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: for half term. But we're actually thinking just to do
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: an open day very soon for anybody. A certain day
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: we'll do maybe half term. It's probably the best time
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: kids are off and families are off. And we'll do
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: like an open day in the area. If you're in
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the area, come down. We'll be there. We'll just show
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: you around. And you get a much better idea of
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: what we do. I can talk, obviously, but I can
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: talk all day long. and I have a big passion
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: for this.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: That does come across, Mo. No, it's great, honestly. It's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: for my son.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Exactly. My son really had this idea, and I've just
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: got into it. We all try and do what we
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: can for our children. Everybody does. I've been able to
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: do this at a certain level, but someone just loving
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the child and giving them time. As parents, that's what
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: we can do. So my son having this idea has
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: brought out the passion and the love for him that
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I really want to... Help him, you know?
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: So what are the platforms that they can get in
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: contact with you?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So at the moment, there's three platforms we're using. Obviously,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: email is the easiest one. We've got infotechersuk.com. Facebook, just
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: message us direct there. And Instagram, if you go to
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: our website, www.techersuk.com, there is a WhatsApp service available, which
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: is probably a lot easier. The team are always on
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: the phone and responding.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, and... just to let the listeners know, Tekkers is
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: spelled T-E-K-K-E-R-S.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, that's it. That might help if they're looking
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: If they can see us visually, they'll see we've got
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: our Tekkers tractors with all our names on. We're looking
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: at the business. What's that saying? All the gear, no idea?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll have a few photos before the end, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: we'll stick them up on our Radio Folkestone page. Running
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: out of time already. We'll stick another tune on and
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: then we'll wind things up. But we'll play this one
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: from 19... What year is it? 85.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Blimey.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: This is from a James Bond film. Probably one of
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: my favourite James Bond films. This one is Duran Duran
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and View to a Kill. there you go Simon Le
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Bon with the boys Duran Duran and A View to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: a Kill the Roger Moore was the James Bond in

• 35:43
  Speaker 1: back in here just going to literally just close down
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: now and thank them for coming in anything else you
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: want to say boys that you think you might have
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: forgotten or I think Mo's been very vocal and gone
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: through most things Ryan.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: No I think he's covered most things as I say
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: he's just so passionate obviously because it's him and his
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: son it's his son's business at the end of the
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: day and yeah it's just great to hear the level

  Speaker 4: doing primary school age at the moment um just because
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: it is a it's not an overly big space um
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: so we're trying to do sort of like year seven
• 36:36
