• 2:40
  Speaker 1: up to and how you got into sports. So tell
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about your sporty background.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I found out about skiing on a school trip when
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I was eighteen, and then wanted to do more of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it and started doing snow patrol on a plastic ski slope,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and then I started training to be a ski instructor,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and I was teaching on plastic and then decided to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: have a look and see if I could go somewhere
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: English speaking to teach abroad and ended up in Waterville Valley,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: New Hampshire.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Did you that come about? Did you have to apply
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to a special ski school or was there like an
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: agency just.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Sent loads of letters to all different ski resorts. Letters
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in those days don't even have facts, yeah, no, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: loads of letters, and that one came back. Joseph Young,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: an Austrian director guy who was a director of the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: ski school in Waterville Valley got back to us. He
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: wanted more European ski instructures, so he was that's how
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we got the job.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Really great. And what about you, your David, how did
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you get into sport? Tell us a bit about what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you've done in the past.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Well, mostly competitive sport really, sort of football. I was
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: playing Sunday League and eleven side and then AstroTurf in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the weeks, and a bit of squash, a bit of golf,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: anything that was competitive right.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good, yeah, yeah, but.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, interestingly, nothing running.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Right, So how did you start running then?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: First time I ran was back in ninety six, part
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of sports side and kind of had a bit of
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: an interest in it, but not a lot. But my Yeah,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: my intro to running was COVID. I mean, probably like
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: many people, there wasn't much else to be done or
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to do, but when you could go out and exercise,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it was something that we could do together.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Right exactly, Yeah, because COVID was a funny old time,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't it. I mean, you weren't allowed out, but running
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was something that you could do on your own without
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: sort of getting close to anybody two meters whatever it was. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so you found you found that running suited you then,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: did you?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And I mean back then the main rons were
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: dead because there was nobody out and so and yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: got to enjoy it and it was a good good
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: for the physical but the mental health as well, getting out.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Did you ever try the skiing at all?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I did? I did. We were going out back then
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: when Belinda was over in the States, so I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: when I was meant to be doing my university student placement,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I was out skiing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: For Was he a good pupil? Belinda was well.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Actually I was too busy to be the one teaching him,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I was. I was working seven days a week. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: did you have some lessons with.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I did have a few lessons and tried a bit
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: of snowboarding, and I preferred snowboarding back then.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, there's the trial remain sadly and you're quite
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: new to folks them. But the sports center, which is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: unfortunately closed at the moment. Did ever outdoor ski?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I remember?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's it was so popular. It really was.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I mean the sports center was opened years ago, years
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and years ago, and I can remember taking my children
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: down there and like to a little children's party and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: within sort of half an hour the instructor had just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: ye going down a small slope. But yes, the facility,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: which we hope we'll come back, is kind of watch
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this space.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I would love to, you know, I be in there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You've got a job there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But it's such a great sport because anyone can do it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I can get anyone to ski, and I love it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: because it's so encouraging people. They think I'll never be
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: able to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: within a short space of time.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah great they can.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: David, you just come back from this trip. Was it
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a kind of a nostalgic trip or did you obviously
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you've got connections with America in the past, but did
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you have a mission where you you know, did you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have an agenda that you wanted to get through.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Well, we were sitting there in January and Blinda looked
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: up and Blinda's resort where she used to ski and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: in strike Waterfielle Valley to have some of the Olympics
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: freestyle qualifying on at the time, So Belinda said, wouldn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: it be great if we could go over and see
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the freestyle and make a trip of it. So we said,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: well why not. So I think we booked literally about
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: a week before we went, and then I asked my
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: boss for some leave once we booked, and off we went.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: So it's entirely spontaneous trip. Fantastic.
• 7:27

• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a big country. And where did you Where did you
• 7:34

  Speaker 2: we were in. Can you remember william Williamsport. Yeah, so
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the Susquehanna River runs through williams Sport. And yeah, this
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: guy who is a lecturate a college had taken us
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a batical to South Africa and found a part run
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: out there and thought, oh, what's this park ron Lark,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I think I might want to set one up in
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the US. So he came back and for one of
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the students assignments, they had to sort of research it
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and see if they could set one up and that's
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: what they did just before lockdown, right, And I mean.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Did you know it was going to be as small as.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: It was you Well, we'd looked at the stats. Yeah, yeah, right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and we did actually think this is quite good. We've
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: got a chance of doing quite well in this part run.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when you when when I read about
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it and I started looking into it, and I will say,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: David that you did actually come first, didn't you?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? That was that was really amazing that you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you're really chaugh. You can't take that away from you.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He was so far ahead of any of them.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But David, tell me how many runners were in
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the park run that day. I think there was about ten, Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: And that would included some other visitors this yeah, yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: very small one. But we were just glad it was
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: on because of trying to find one that was on.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: With the winter weather and the snowstorms.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: It was cold on the day, was it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It was about freezing minus eight something like that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, on the.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Day, so yeah, we're in the Oh, it's a bitter
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the Long Johns.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Well, it looked on their Facebook page and there was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a weather report of a run that they did cancel
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: because the weather was so bad, and the stats on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that one were was and the other thing was I
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: had to look at it closely because it was measured
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in fahrenheit. Now, when I grew up that thought it
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was fahrenheit, but now got your heads twisted round and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it can relate to centigrade. But this was in fahrenheit.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So it was twelve degrees fahrenheit with a wind of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty mile an hour and the chill which
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: brought it down to minus ten or minus fifteen degrees fahrenheit.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Well I did the conversion and found that that was
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: minus twenty. So that is an extreme, isn't it. I mean,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you don't want to run in anything.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even with my glasses on, I'm crying the whole time.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, it's okay. So you turn up at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: this US Ghana part, do they do they do the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: same format as England, you know, like a first time
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: as race briefing.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, yes, the race director does it all and he's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the end where you turn. He has done the run
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: in the morning and he's chalked out the point where
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the runner has to turn. Because he didn't have a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: person that could be right at that far in Yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and yeah he did the briefing for the newcomers and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: all the safety thing, what about the dogs on leashes?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So you thought I've heard this before in the country. Yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: but I mean the town Williams Sport, I mean, is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it does it look like big town smalling?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Kind of quite industrial, wasn't it? You think? And somebody
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: was telling me. One of a friend of Belinda's that
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: we visited, was telling us it was used to be.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a timber and logging area and it's
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: where that the most of the baseball bats used to
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: come out when they before they turned to aluminum or still.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: So it was a big, big place for that, Yeah, apparently.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But the run director was his name against the Jeff Newman.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Jeff Newman, Good morning to you, Jeff. I hope at
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: some point you're going to hear this, because I mean
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it was Jeff frustrated after after trying to get this
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: part run off the ground.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, I mean, but he was tirelessly
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: keeping it going.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing. I mean, it started in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: October twenty one, I think it was, and it's done
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: over two hundred and the highest attendance thirty nine, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that was on an anniversary hundreds of park run. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he's such a brave, determined man. We've got to admire
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: him for the long, you know, the tenacity of keeping
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it going, and I.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Really hope he does. Yeah, I think it will catch on.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: But when you speak to Americans where I've got lots
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of American WANs all over the states, they've never heard
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of it. Park run. They say park run, they think,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: what's that? You know? So he's got that to contend
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: with no one's heard of it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Just getting the word out there, really and hope that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the word spreads because it is such a big, big country.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I was looking, I've done. This is really interesting. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: just googled so much information about American park runs, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I mean there are hundreds of miles apart on them,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that's the other thing. Yeah, so you've got to rely
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on your initial community that's by the river there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Like Pennsylvania. I think there's about three hundred miles between
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the park un in one state.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you turn up and you have your you're
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: race briefing, and would you say there was other tourists
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: there as well, David.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was a young lady who'd come along
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: for the first time because she's training for a marathon,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: so she wanted somebody locally as well.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, okay, so your set off, so
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you're thinking, you know what I'm in with the shore. Yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it's a shame you didn't get a trophy, isn't it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what about the actual course itself? What was that? Like?
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: The course is straight up the side of the river
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and then to the chalk line turn and then back,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: probably about a couple of meter three meter ramp up
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and down. But I'd actually pulled my calf muscle on
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: New Year's Day running along the beach here by folks,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and so I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: do it. And then we went skiing off. What I'm
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: going skiing? I don't care, strap it up and do that,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: and then and there was just about dole. But I've
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: got to about four k on this park runners, Oh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I know, the calf's going. What do I do? And
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: so I'm going to stop and stretch and take a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: time just to stretch it out here.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So you couldn't see the second runner wasn't anywhere near
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you then no.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, and then carried on and won it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, great, great, you can't take that away from it, David.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: You have one apart run absolutely, yeah, it might be
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the last or who knows.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it'd been Bushy Park. You might have
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: something to rave about that. Well.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Our original part run back in Bromley where we lived.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: There's about seven eight hundred people there, so it's crazy busy.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean the folks. The one has grown
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and grown as well. I mean it's been going over
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: ten years now, eleven years I think, and I was
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: there at the very first one all those years ago.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And my claim to fame is that I've never run it. No, no,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I won't. I help out when I can. I mean
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: i'd sometimes get up and do a little bit on
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the bandstand, take my pa stuff down there and have
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a little chat and as the runners come by, you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: give them a bit of stick. But I say, I've
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: never done a part run, and why not? But I must,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I must say that my excuse for not doing a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: part run is because I like to go along and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: watch it. I really do. Because the last more than
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: ten years I've been promoting local sport. So I think
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it's this one time that I can go along just
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: watch the sport without being involved and enjoy it because
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I do a lot of comparing the races as well,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: so kind of focused on the on runners and so
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I think I'm just going to go along and relax.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: But anyway, No, it's grown from strength to strength to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: focus the one and I do. I do enjoy popping
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: up there. I've also got links with the Dover one.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I pop over there sometimes with the PA equipment and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if it's their birthday or or I did two Christmas ones,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one at Over and one at Folks and so yeah,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I love the concept of the part run and that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is growing all the time. Okay, so you you won
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: your part run, So what was the next step? Did
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you stay overnight or did you hit the road?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: We hit the road. We were on our way as mentioned,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: we went. We popped into punks, so Tony did that,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: We were around tog Day film my most favorite all
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: time film.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. And then we were
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: actually on our way to one of Belinda's good time
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: friends and ski instructor friend from thirty years ago in Cleveland.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: So that was our next, our next step in the trip.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Right. Excellent. Okay, so it's time for a little bit
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of music now. So I do believe David, you've got
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: another little story to tell us about this track.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one again. It's on my playlist, It's probably
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: on many runners playlists. But again I make no apologies
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: for it. It. They did a remake mix back in
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six, I think it was, and changed the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: title slightly from Everybody wants to rule the world to
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to run the world. And it was part
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: of the sports ade back then for that and that
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: was Yeah. I think it was a ten k we
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: were doing. But yeah, I was probably doing that over
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: several hours or something like that. But there it is. Yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Tears for Fears.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And now you say that back in
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: eighty six, I actually run the equivalent run down in Folkston.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: It started at Radney Park, I can't remember it went,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it went up the Lease and it went up the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Eastcliff and I remember that the footballer Glenn hoddle Yes,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: he was running it. I don't know how he got involved.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He was running it and he had two minders with him,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: had a minor river side. He was a high profile
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: football or football manager at the time, and I tucked
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: him behind him, and I thought, I'm going to get
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: my picture in the paper. I'm going to run level
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: with him when they crossed the line. So I stayed
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: with it and stayed with it, and they were about
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: three of them, were about a quarter of a mile
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: from the finish and they were gone. I couldn't get
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: anywhere near and so I never got me a picture
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in the paper. But so yeah, this takes me back
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to the days of the Running in the Family and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a level forty two? So there, did you spot the error? Hey,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: David and Belinda did that was? Of course, everybody wants
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to rule the world. Running in the Family is the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: next song. I don't expect we've got a little story
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: about that to tell. But don't you just love live radio? Okay,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so we're going to chat with Belinda now. So Belinda,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you were your early day trips to America to go
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: skiing as a skiing instructor. You still get got contacts
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: out there. I mean, this is your friend that you
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: went to see from thirty years ago. Had you seen
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: her in the intro?
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I do pop over and see her every now and again,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and she'd come over once. But yeah, we stayed in
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: touch all the way through. We're very good friends. For
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: two of the four years we actually rented a house together.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, So in your days as a ski instructor, was
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: it just Americans or was it all tourists?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: All Americans? The resort where we work is. I mean,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: you probably wouldn't come from further afield. It would be
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: kind of around New York State and Connecticut and Massachusetts.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think, well, rarely do you have someone coming
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: because it's such a long way to get there. You fly,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: you have to fly into Boston or New York. Then
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you've got to get a bus from New York to
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: a place called Concord, and then another bus in and
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you know, the transports really limited. Yeah, it's in the
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: middle of nowhere basically.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And I mean he was out there for four years.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Was yeh four ski seasons?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four seasons. You came home in the between.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: On the first year I was there, I traveled a bit.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: It went all the way around the states looking in
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: a car, and then the other three years just came
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: back for the ski seasons.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the snow itself. Is it guaranteed every year? Yeah?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Really, I mean we had we had a couple of seasons.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it's changed is a bit now. The seasons
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: have changed, haven't they. But no, there was tons of
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: snow this time.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And yeah, right, so David, so you've you've been focusing
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: about a year. So what you joined the folks in
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Running Club? Is that right?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: That's right? Yeah, we moved down and all the turmoil
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: and tumultuous year of all sort of up and down
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: and moot, selling the house and dealing with our various
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: other challenges we've got in the family, and yeah, we
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to engage into the community as readily as we could.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: So I thought, yeah, I want to join the running club.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And so I think I've messaged Catherine coach Catherine shout
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: out to you and she said, yeah, come along. And
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: my plan was to only just improve a bit of
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: part run speed and all of that, but they're so
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: inspiring and we're doing a couple of halfs this year
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: already we booked up and who knows where it will
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: go from there.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But since you've joined the club, I mean, if you've
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: got a bit more structures you're running and see a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: bit further than just yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, it's great. And she'll do the dynamics and
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: the different Tuesday and Thursday distances to get your cardio
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: up in your distance and train the body. I'm probably
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: talking rubbish if but yeah, massive loads of improvement and
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: then getting involved in the club events as well that
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the summer relays and the winter handicaps.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: You did, did the the relays that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just caught the back end of it. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I did Canterbury, which is it was the last one
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really good fun over the years i've done.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and then we'll be at the Folks and
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: ten but Marshalling Yeah yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Well I'll be on the mic at the green, so
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I might not see you actually, and that's what happens,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: but if you come back to the finish you'll hear
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: me during all the runners in. Do you did you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: know that there's a mile straight down on the promenade
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Don Tompson Mile?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, we do. Yeah, we haven't come up.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: On doesn't it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I think it's on our club schedule.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And there is an event.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, there's a Don Tomson Mile and funny enough,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I've been speaking about it quite a bit in the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: last few weeks because a certain other radio station that's
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: county wide asked me to do an interview about the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Don Tomson So we went down there and it's it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: basically a mile point to point race and always make
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: sure the wind is on your back because I was
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: doing six minute Miley when I did it. We won
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: one year. But yeah, that's very interesting. One of the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: plaques is missing.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: At the moment, I say, I'm hoping they're going to replace.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I either replace it will find it. We had
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a really bad storm and they were moving cars, you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and benches, and someone down there said that the plaque
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is missing. The club are aware of it, and so
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: we hopefully get that replaced. Okay, so we're moving on
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to another song now. Now this song is the song
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: that I introduced last time. But so, is there any
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: special story for this one, Belinda.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: David Well, I mean, primarily I love Level forty two.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I've always been a big fan. We went to see
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: him last year. They're amazing musically and we love seeing that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's got a bit of a play on words,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: probably because it's the frak family as we call it,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: and especially people like Darren, you know, barefoot darrens in
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: the club. He's always saying, frak family. So and it
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: is a real family community.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: This is I'm not going to just explain what Frank
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is for the.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Folksed and running and athletics club, but super encouraging and
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: very kind and everything. So yeah, we're really blessed by that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Really So yeah, okay, good, So, okay, we'll dedicate this
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: one to the Frak family. I've got it right at
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this time. This is running in the family. In the family,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: so level forty two. I'll tell you what, David, you
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: could get at your presenter here. There's great tracks off
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you're picking out and all the bands you've been to see, yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: talking off as you've had an awesome journey with your music. Okay,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: So we're running out of time now, so this is
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: going to be our last little chat and I wanted
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to make as you've come back from America and by
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the sounds of it, we could do another two or
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: three hours here talking about America and traveling and skiing
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and park running, but I think it's time to just say,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you know, a few thank you to your friends in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: America and thank you to anybody really so so because
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: this is with the wonders of technology today, this has
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: got the ability to get out there and go worldwide.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So so, David, any special hellos and well done and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: shout outs you want to give.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think definitely to the Frank families.

  Speaker 3: And but yeah, Catherine O'Connor coach amazing and has inspired
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: me to move on and start doing more halfs and
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: then probably marathons, who knows so, but yeah, massive thanks

• 30:01
  Speaker 4: road trip and then of course Margie and we stayed
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: with her in Ohio and Cleveland, Ohio, and Margie and
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Lyle and they're just all incredible friends and it's just
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: great to have had the opportunity to go on that

  Speaker 4: trip and see them all again.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and David, had you met any of these people before?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But they had?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Anette and John and Net used to live over
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: here and married to American guy and moved over. So
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: that was going back to probably early eighties when we
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: were friends.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, I know Margie from going over to
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: visit Belinda when we started going out and yeah, yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Have you got any more trips planned over there? It
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: seems quite frequently.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Well, were thinking we might do a road trip going
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: further across, So heading from Ohio, say hello to Margie
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Indiana and then go towards California and down Route one
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and back a loop that.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Way, right, Yeah, and what sort of vehicle did you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: hire out there? Then?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Oh? What was it? Goodness, it wasn't.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a motor home?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Was it four by four and had nice heated seeds?
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Because yeah, we drove for about seven hundred miles through
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: snow blizzards, really seven hundred miles thirty miles an hour. Yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: so deep snow yeaes that heated seats helped.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: What story. I mean, I've had a bit of experience
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: in the cold weather. I actually did work when I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: was in my twenties. I went to Finland and I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: was working in It was right on the Arctic Circle actually,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: so it was minus twenty. I was used to work
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: in the motor industry and we took one of every car.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I lived in Luton at the time, and we took
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: one of every car to the Arctic Circle. It was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: all English, all English engineering, and we gave them road
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: tests every day. So after we'd done all our road tests,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: we usually used to have breakfast. There was a cafe
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: right on the Arctics, so you just have breakfast every
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: morning for about six weeks. Yeah, yeah, I'd to do that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And in fact that in the town. The airport we
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: flew into is rob and Emi, which is the airport
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that everybody flies in when they want to do the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Center trip at Christmas, you know. But the children were
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: going to school on skis and they all had these
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: high vis reflective little things like you you put on
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Christmas trees. That the headlights used to pick up. Yeah,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it was quite a magical experience. Well, David and Blinda,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it's been a brilliant morning talking shit because apart from
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the running and the skiing, you know, the fact that
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you've been traveling and the fact that you found the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: smallest part run in the world. And we want to
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: wish what's the race director's name, Yeah, if you're listening,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: we do hope that you persevere with the part, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: we do hope that the runners start turning up in their.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Drops and come and visit us over here. We'll be able.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, and so so Blinda, David,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for your time and coming in. Right. Okay,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: so this one is is and this was I suppose
• 33:08

  Speaker 3: Well, you said.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Letter, So the Proclaimers they are writing too America. And

  Speaker 1: and Belinda for coming in and telling us the stories.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: We could have been here all day, but I've got
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: to squeeze a little bit of locals brought in. There's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: not much time, so I'm just gonna whip through some
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: of the hockey that's going on today. Now. If you're
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: new to the town like David and Belinda, and you've
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: seen the hockey down there, but you might not realize
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: just how big hockey is in this town. The Folks
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and Optimists have got eight men's teams and six ladies
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: teams and they're just they've got all the juniors they
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: play on the Sunday, but the first team are away today.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: The first men's first team. They've got a really tough,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: tough game because they are currently tenth in the table
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: out of twelve teams, and they've got to play Oxted,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: who are top. So I don't forget. They just came
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: up from the Premier last year and they've kind of
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: struggling a little bit to hold their own. But the ladies, however,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: they are going from strength to strength. They're away, they're
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: playing Bromley and Beckenham, but they are top of their league.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: They are twelve points clear and well, hopefully they'd have
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a comfortable winter day because sadly Bromley and Beckenham our bottom.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: But we haven't got normally. I would try and get
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: through all the teams. We've used up a lot of
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: time talking about America as so there are several games
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: down at the Three Heels. If you want to fix
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: of hockey, just go down there and if the weather's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a bit cold, they do live stream it onto the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: big screen there behind the bar. But I will say this,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: this is something I really want to do because whilst
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the show has been a really happy show, unfortunately I've
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: got some sad news. And this is from the Optimist.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: This is from a Lee Marshall, former guest of the show.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: He's the chairperson at the Optimists. So I just read
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: out the statement that he sent me during the week.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It is with a very heavy heart that I pass
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: on the news that Ali Walls has died suddenly at home.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Ali was being treated for a serious illness and had
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: not been the best of health recently. Despite this, he
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: was at the club last Saturday to watch hockey and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: be amongst friends. Ali was the center of Optimist life
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: since he joined the club over forty years ago. His
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: name was first on the team sheet for the first
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: eleven for two decades, and he was captain in the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: years two thousand and one two thousand and two. In
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: his later career, he played in the lower elevens, helping
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: to develop the young Optimists. Ali was a dedicated and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: valuable committee member and as head of the men's sectioned
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: raised the standard of their training and playing ethos, culminating
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in many promotions for the adult teams. Ali was also
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: an accomplished golfer and many of us had the pleasure
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: of playing with him over the years. Fogus as it's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: called Folkeston Optimist Golfers in Scotland. He was the champion
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve and twenty twenty one, and he was the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: OPTS Golf Champion ninety six and twenty seventeen. Ali was
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: loved and respected by teammates and everyone who had the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: pleasure to know him. Our thoughts are with his family, Rosemary, Lizzie, Andrew,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Andy will and Ashley. Rest in peace, Ali Walls. So
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: that statement came from the chairman of the Folks and
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Optimus Hockey Club, and so it's with a bit of
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a heavy heart that I'm reading this out. I did
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: know Ali. I didn't know him very well. There are
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: so many hockey teams down there, as I say, but
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: he was a very friendly man, always willing to talk
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: about hockey, so he will be sadly missed. So on
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a light to note. If you fancy going to watch
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a hockey then get down to the Three Hills. So
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a quick shout out for the Folks and Saints basketball
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: today the under eighteen's ladies are playing away at Colchester
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: against Essex Rebels. The under sixteen B team they're at
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: home against Essex Rebels. The under sixteen eighteen they are
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: at home against South End Scorpions. The under sixteen eighteen
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: they are a way to swish and the under fourteens
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: now this is the one to watch. They are level
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: with Bromley Bromley Fury, they're called. They've got two games
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to go, so it's going to be a real exciting
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: end to the season. Okay, so well we're running out
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of time. As we said, I think what we're going
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to do, which is going to play a little bit
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of this great track. I think there's only one track
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: to finish this show with. I'll be back, No, I'll
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: be back next Saturday. And so without further ado, we
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: see you soon start spreading the new.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I'm leaving today.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I want to be a part of it. New, your new,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: your these bag of Bonds sho
