  Speaker 1: Yeah, Radio, I'm trying to get to sleep.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: They go George Michael there and know who is that is? That?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: His mum at the end is the last little bit.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: It's a great song and you get I'm trying to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: get to sleep. Well, let me tell you about my weekend.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I had a busy weekend. Saturday morning saw three hundred
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and twelve runners, joggers and walkers on the leaves in
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the drizzley conditions at the Folkston Park Run. It was
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: my job to pump out some Christmas tunes from the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: bandstand and encourage all the runners, many of whom were
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in festive costume. Now we had a guest appearance from
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the gingerbread Man. Now this gingerbread man turns up every year,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: dances to the tunes, doesn't say a word and disappears.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: No one knows who it is, but so please go
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to the Folkston Park Run facebook page where there are
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: some fabulous pictures. Now there are plans for a Christmas
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Day park run, but please check before you travel, because
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: there there's If there's not enough volunteers then the event
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: won't go ahead, only for safety reasons. Really. Then Saturday
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: afternoon I was on PA duty at the folkusing in
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Victor versus Dartford game, where once again I played some
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Christmas music to cheer up the crowd. However, in Victor
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: supporters weren't very happy as their team lost one meal
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in front of a massive crowd of one tho seventy
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: four spectators. So you can play Christmas Junes all day long,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but you can't change the school line. Then Sunday morning,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: once again I was on PA duties at the nice
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: work Christmas Cracker Run at a cold and windy Betsanger Park.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The weather, however, didn't put off around three hundred and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: fifty runners in either the two or the five mile race,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: along with fifty your children in the junior fun run.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It was a cheerful, jolly event despite the weather. To
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: be fair, not many people were hanging about after they
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: finished because of the biting wind. But I do want
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to tell you I want to give some running friends
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of mine a special shout out because listen to this one.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: This is the Paris family right. Three generations of this
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: family were running on Sunday. Grandmother Deborah and mother Emily
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: running the five miler and five year old son a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: grandson Rufus running the junior race picking up is very
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: very first medal. Now, as I say, Rufus is only
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: five and he's done a few junior part runs. You
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: don't get a medal for a junior part run. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: this was his first ever medal and all the rest
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of the family got loads of medals, so he was
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: well chuffed and he celebrated with a massive hot chocolate
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So word onto the three generations of the Paris family
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and it was really really nice talking to a granddad Darren.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So time a little bit of music now and another
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Christmas song. This is from Bruce Springsteen. Santa Claus is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: coming to town. So I called Lama beach h jingle.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Oh well, why they go, that's Bruce Brinstein having a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: right I will laugh there on that song they do
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you know what, I haven't heard that for a couple
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of years, to be honest. Okay, a little bit more
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: sport and let me just squeeze into music or is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it the other way around anyway? Talking about a bit
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: at football now, folks in the victor As I said earlier,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they lost one Neil to Dartford in a pretty poor game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Both teams hardly had a shot on goal. Dartford scored
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a scrappy old goal from a set piece. Good crowd though,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: As I said Oney seventy four, next game is away
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: on Boxing Day at Lewis three pm kickoff. Well, we're
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: just about halfway through the season and if Victor are
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in fourteenth place in the table, so they will need
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: an excellent second half of the season. But remember if
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the team's in contention above them keep running then they've
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: got no chance of getting anywhere, So it's going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: be an interest in twenty twenty five. I have Town's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: game last Saturday against East Grinstead was called off due
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to a water log pitch, so their next game is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the big Boxing Day derby at Reachfields against Ashford United.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Please remember this is a one pm kickoff and I
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: think there will be a big crowd there because if
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Folks are away and then people do like their fix
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of football, especially on Boxing Day, I think they're going
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to pull in a lot of punters from Folkston. In
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the Kent County Premier League, New Romney had an excellent
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: six to one win away at Kent United, keeping them
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: top of the table, and their next game is on Saturday,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the twenty eighth, away to eleventh place tentred in Town.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Fifth place Hawkingstown had an excellent one nil win against
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: third place Stansfield, and on Saturday, the twenty eighth sees
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: another tough game against second place in Minster. Now, for
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all the clubs, this festive period can change the course
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: of the league tables. It can do it absolutely dramatically.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: For example, folks in Victor have three games in a week,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: so there's nine points up for grabs, so you could
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: end up with zero and could end up four or
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: five places up the table. So okay, so I'm moving on.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: We got another Christmas song, a sponsors song here, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: this is a lovely song. I love this one. This
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: is my local group and we've got Paul Reynolds in
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the studio who's up next, and they're great pals of his.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So please sit back and enjoy five minutes and seventeen
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: seconds of Merryler Bone Jelly one five point nine Radio Folkston.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: This a dr Christmas Songs brought to you by Marley
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Bone Jelly, who would like to USh a very merry
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Christmas and a happy.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: New Year Folkston's radio station, Radio Folkstone. I'll protect you
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: from the hooded claws.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Keep the vampires from your door.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Hi, Well, what an epic song that was. That was
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a Marabone Jelly seeing the power of love. And for
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: those of you that are probably wondering, that was Frankie
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Ghost to Hollywood did that and they sponsored their very
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: unsolved So thank you very much, Marabone Jelly. Okay, so
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the last little bit of news for Rugby Sporting News
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: now is a bit of rugby news. Folks on first
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: fifteen had another tight game last Saturday, coming out twenty
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: seven twenty winners against Alsford at the Burlington Fields. They're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: on a bit of a winning streak at the moment. Obvisently,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it doesn't take it. Put three or four results together
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and you zoom up the table. This result was pushed
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: them from eighth up to fifth place and their next
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: game is on Saturday away to westcom Park who actually
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: take their eighth place now. Anyway, they've got a trip
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to Orpington.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I couldn't find a result anywhere for the second fifteen,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: who were scheduled to play away at Elsford, so I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: guess that game was boned. Their next game is on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: January the fourth at home to Ash. Now the ladies
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: team on Sunday, the fifth of January, having away fixture
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: at Cranbrook. So just to recap now, the Ladies League
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: consists of just six teams, so they don't play many games.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: There might be three or four weeks between games. Anyway,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Folks are fifth in the table and Cranbrook a fifth,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: so that's going to be a close game, isn't it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's lovely to see the Ladies still going though. That's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the main thing that they've still got a team down there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: That's very important. Okay, so we're going to play a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: little song now called the venby Die Young. I don't
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: think I've heard this one before, so let's all of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: us have a little listen the sound of Folkestone Radio
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Folkstone for sure a sip. There you go. It's about
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it for me and my last event of twenty twenty

  Speaker 2: four will be the Saltwood Boxing Day run, so get

  Speaker 2: there early if you want to register on the day.

  Speaker 2: I just want to say a big thank you to
