  Speaker 1: This is Kevin Sports Very Daily, bringing you the midweek
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: sports show here on one oh five point nine Radio Folkston.

  Speaker 1: On today's show, we have reports on local football, rugby, hockey, basketball.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I'll be telling you about my day at the Bexhill
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Poppy Run, and we've got a roundup of the tourist
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: park run venues. And our special guest today will be
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Joe Tolhurst from the South Kent Mind who'll be telling us,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: amongst other things, all about how you can enter the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Mental lf Run, which is coming up on Sunday, December seventh.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, I found this track from the archives
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm planning this one for a special reason, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: so sit back and enjoy it, and I'll tell you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: why I'm playing this one. Straight after, I can see
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the turner nut Bush City limits. I can see the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: turn of their Nutbush City limits. And the reason I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: played that is because a few years ago I heard
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of a thing called tapathon and I wonder, what on
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: earth is a tapathon. I thought it'd be just like
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: people dancing for twenty four hours or something like that,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but I was totally wrong. And what it is, it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the There's dance schools all around the country and they've
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: been given this CD of Nutbush City limits and a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: dance to practice and the idea is that they will
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: all do it on the same days in the end
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of November I think it is, and they want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: beat the Guiness Book of Records. They want to get
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the most people tap dancing in England at the same time.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And in the last couple of years we've had the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: KM dance group in that are performing at the Christmas
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Lights actually, and I'm going to try and get them
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in and I know what happened. If they do come in,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the girls will do a little impromptu rendition of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Nutbush City Limits and we were try and get that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: out on social media. So in the meantime, I'm joining
• 2:56

• 6:49
  Speaker 3: mark Well and Julia Gibb. Julie Gibbs were really helpful
• 6:53

• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the collaboration with the running club again again the half
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: marathon at the end of the month, that was we
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: had a great team put together for that, all in
• 7:05

• 7:27
  Speaker 1: know if you know this, but the virtual ten Miler.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Do you know how that came about? Well, I tell you,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I do believe that they had some medals left over,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and they had a glove of medals and someone thought
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do with them? They either had
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: had a year on them or the band had a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: year on them, so basically they're no good for twenty
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: twenty six. Course, So it was the brainchild of Sonya,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I do believe, and she said, well, let's do a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: virtual ten miler and raised some money for a chosen charity.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But the charity, to be fair, came out on top
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: because there was a vote. There was two or three charities,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and you come out on top. So that's how it
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: all came about, just a simple little thing like that,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: having a few medals left over, and you may I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was there that night of the presentation actually, and it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: was really really really it was really powerful stuff. You know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it was so simple and everyone was so pleased with Sonya.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, as you said, we did the Folks and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: half marathon. That was a great day and it was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a really cracking event actually, and yeah it was. It's

• 13:17
  Speaker 1: anything else. So basically tell us about I don't know
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: where your office is based, what your team do, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you know what services you offer to the public.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely back to who we are so South Kent Mind.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: We are your local independent mental health charity supporting anyone
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: in the South kentk community, including Folkston.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Deal Dover.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: That's our whole patch, all the way from Sandwich down
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: to Dungeness, including the Romney Marsh. We support anyone in
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the South kank community with mental health challenges. We have
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: popular shops in Folkston Hive, Dover and our main office
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: is in Folks.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: We're a small team.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: We're a small team, but we do we do a
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: lot within the community and offer a lot of services.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: We have a wide range of support services from locals, counseling,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: money guidance session as that's often the root of a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: lot of people's mental health challenges, worrying about finances and money,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and a range of weekly activities such as cooking, art
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and are really popular walk and talk groups where people
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: just get out in nature. We have those in deal
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Over and folks do and get out and clear clear
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: mind and go.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: For a nice walk.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, one thing to clear up about our charity
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I think is important to mention is that people commonly
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: think that we're a branch of Mind, the popular, the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: national charity that everyone knows, but in fact South Kent
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Mind we're we're a franchise of the national organization, so
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we don't receive any statutory funding from the national organization
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and everything we earn we have to raise ourselves essentially
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: through fundraising, grants and getting out there and that's you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: crucial to keeping our charity going and keeping the lights on,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: you know, So That's why we put so much effort
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: into our fundraising and the events that we put on.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: That's why we're so grateful of everyone who engages with
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the charity, popping onto our events, supporting us through our
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: shops and just fundraising for us in general. The amount
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: of amazing support that we have from from individuals. For example,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Darren Lynch, a teacher from Sandwich Tech, is currently running
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: five k a day in Age of South Kent Mind,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: so really amazing challenge event in Aide of South Kent Mine.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: It's people like Darren who really are the backbone of
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: our charity keep us going.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Really great support.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So thank you to everyone who supports our charity through donating,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: at tending our events, just spreading the word on social media.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: We're truly grateful, right, It's brilliant.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So, I mean you've got all this. You had a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: great sort of plan for twenty twenty five. Are you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: going to try and repeat it and a bit more
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: perhaps in twenty twenty.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Six, Yeah, definitely, twenty twenty five was really great for
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: awareness and fundraising. We're going to repeat the you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: the popular events such as mental health already look into
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. So we're going to do that again
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: next year, your classic boot Fair, the Firewalk, we're going
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: to do sponsored dog walks as well. The Ports of Mine,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: We're doing hide again and you know a couple of
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: new bits as well. Looking at a sponsored cold dip
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: in Mark, I.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Don't know if you get many turn up for that one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: We'll get you though where we go. That would be
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: that would be a fun one.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Before you're going further. There is
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a community down by the Mermaid cat down there and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you've got to tap into them because for them is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like every day is a sponsored cold dip. And I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: did have one guest on the show and she she
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: got injured doing the London Marathon and wanted something to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: recover and started going swimming every day in the summer.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And then the weather slowly changed since she stayed with
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it and she went swimming every day for a thousand days.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, yes, And now she sort of takes classes
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and encourages people to come along and there's always there's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: people that come from out of the district and I'm
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: friends with their Facebook group and it's got oh I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: down on holiday from Nottingham or somewhere. Is there anywhere
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: where I can have a cold swim and they go down?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So you've got a little market there, so you need
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to tap into.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's really popular and really good for
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: your mental health as well.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: It's getting out, you know, you know, embracing the challenge
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: of getting in the cold water. But yeah, as you
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: mentioned as well, everything all of our services and how
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: to get in touch.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's everything.

  Speaker 3: We all have fraising events. Doesn't happen, doesn't happen on
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: its own, these things that these things, you know, real
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: community bringing, bringing everyone together and really rely on on
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: everyone who volunteers and helps out.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So big thank you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Good Right, Okay, Now the reason that we sort of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: wanted you in today is because it's coming around the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Mental Wealth Run. Now we did it first time last year.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I suspect you learned a lot from it, but it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: happening again this year. So first of all, let's go
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: back to last year. What lessons have you learned about
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: going into this year? Do you think.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Actually, I remember we're talking about it this last year,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: actually care about you know, mental health, and I was
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and I was pretty new South Camesa.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: This is all this is all a big learning learning
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: code that right, Yeah, yeah, the fun Run.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: But obviously had a great team behind me at the charity.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so we learned a lot from last year.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Were first of all blown away by how many people
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: attended the Fun Run in twenty twenty four. So this
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: year we were a lot more prepared for that, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: just and you know, just the little learnings about you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: timings and you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Know what people, how the public operate and everything.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: So yeah, lots of lots of learnings there. But we
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: learned about the promotion side of things, when to get
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: out to do more postering and everything, and how to
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: engage the community. There's lots of learnings there and we're
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: really looking forward to So weally looking forward to cracking
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: on this year.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Right, So tell our listeners how they can get into it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And it's not it's not like it's a sprint or
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: anything like that, as it just you know, out lay
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the day itself.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so mental health is is a really relaxed run, walk,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: stroll or roll around the five the five k course
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: along the leaves. It's actually the same park round course
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: that a lot of people are familiar with. So it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a really laid back event, not a race at all,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: not a sprint. We're not gonna be timing you or anything,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: and we're encouraging you to dress up as as elves
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: have a bit of fun. And yeah, that worked really well.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I thought a few would come along, but
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Neil know, about eighteen ninety percent were dressed up and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the kids loved it, didn't they.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I loved it and looked like you did as well
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: in your hat on the bandstand as well. So yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it's a really relaxed event. Games on the band on
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the bandstand, PA for the day and it starts for
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: about from twelve o'clock the run. The run starts, but
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: we'll have a registration desk open from ten thirty at
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the bandstand with a with a little warm up led
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: by Julie Gibbett at eleven fifty.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be speaking to Julie this week and she's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: really excited and she's been she's had her husband Malcolm
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: dancing in the front room to make sure all the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: moves are right. Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good bit of fun and it's like
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I said, everyone's encouraged to dress up as now we've
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: got a prize for best dressed and it's a great
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: bit of community fine getting this festive spirit and support
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: South Kent Mind. Yeah, and it's coming up soon on
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the on the seventh, on the seventh of December, Sunday
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the seventh.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: So the next question is how can people enter? Yeah,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that's the one.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: So so all all entries are online, so that's south
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Campmind dot org dot uk and able to find our
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: tab on mental health. You just sign up there, purchase
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: your tickets and everyone who signs up it receives a
• 22:17

  Speaker 3: for generously sponsoring the medals and race numbers that all
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: participants will receive on the day.

  Speaker 1: Brilliant. So people, I mean if they are struggling them
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: with stuff online, they can and rock up and enter
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on the day.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're on the day entries as well. That was
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: a learning from last year. Not everyone, not everyone signs
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: up in advance, although we do encourage people to do so. Yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: you can turn up on the day and we'll sign
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: you up.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I think the one thing that we've come out of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: this conversation actually, Joe, is the fact that it is
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: basically the part run, but it doesn't start down the Leaseecliffall.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It's starts it and finishes at the band standards.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: If it starts and finish at the bandstands that's our
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: main sort of like focal point of where you'll be
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: where we'll hand out the medals after as well. But
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it's really relaxed five K five K routes on Yeah, Sunday,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the seventh of December.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Nothing to it right, Okay, Joe, it's been awesome morning.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: You've got loads of stuff in and the which is great.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: This's what we wanted. So is there anything else we've
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: forgotten or do you want to send any contact details again?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just like to repeat our you know, the
• 23:29

• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, well Joe, thanks for coming in. There's been you've
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: been so busy this year and you've done a great job.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You've certainly got the name out there and I hope
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the charity has benefited and perhaps next year and you
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: might even spread your wings into Dover and Deal a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: bit a little bit definitely, and yeah, we'll try a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: few things out there. Okay, Joe, thanks once more. Okay,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: so it is time for a bit more music now.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: This is from nineteen ninety five and this is supergrass
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and all right, yeah, supergrass there from ninety to ninety
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and a big thank you to Joe Telhurst. You know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: as you said, I certainly have noticed the difference that
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: what his team have done in the last year and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they raised the profile of the charity and hopefully raised
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: loads of money. Okay, let's move on with a sport now, folks.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And in Victor where they found themselves top of the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: table on Saturday evening after an away trip to Potters
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Bar which resulted in a three nil victory thanks to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: goals from Joe Pigott, Dean Rohn's and returning from injury
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: off the bench Eddie Yusuf. Tuesday evening, it was a
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: home game against Cray Wanderers, which resulted in an amazing
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: eight one win. I don't think anybody expected that, to
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: be honest. That was in front of one one hundred
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and thirty one fans. And I won't say any more
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: about that game because my colleague Adrian was there and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: we will. I'll be joining him on Saturday between ten
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and eleven, and we will have a good old chat
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about that this Saturday in November the fifteenth, there is
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: another big game. It's at home to AFC Totten which
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: is an FA Trophy game now to the fifth in
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the National League South. So they're they play in a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: higher division, but there's no I'm sure they won't fear
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: them because Focusing in Victor have beaten two teams in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a higher division already this season and there's a lot
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of stake actually, apart from an appearance at Wembley in
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the final, how good would that be a to see
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Focusing in Victor running out at Wembley. Well, this this
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: round is worth three thy seven hundred and fifty to
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the winners and it's worth a thousand pounds to the losers.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure I've got this right. I'm sure
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Adrian will tell me if I haven't. But there will
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: be a result on the day. It will go to penalties.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: So you were in no sort of round about half
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: past five weather, folks in Victor of one the folks
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and the ladies team they lost three too, but this
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: was the higher opposition King's Hill that was on Sunday
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: in the League Cup, and their next fixture is Sunday
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: twenty third November away to Hollins and Blair turn our
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: attentions to hive Town now. They took an eighth minute
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: lead against Burnham in the second round of the FA
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Bars at Riachville's on Saturday, but Burnham replied two minutes
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: into the second half and that's how it stayed until
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: full time, so that one was a penalty shootout. Burnham
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: went in four to three and so that result ended
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the manager Ira Jackson's reign at the club. After we
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: started the season would look like to be very promising,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: but that's football, isn't it, you know. However, currently third
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: from bottom, there's two clubs hold the relegation spots, so
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: all eyes will be on social media for an appointment
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: perhaps before their next game, which is on Saturday away
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to sixth place sun Athletic in the NRG Kent County League.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Hawkins lost three to a way to Aylsford, pushing them
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: down to fifth place. This Saturday, it's a home to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Stansfield in the league, who are fifteenth out of nineteen teams.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Hawks reserves were beaten in the Junior Cup three nail
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: away against Staplehurst Monarchs under twenty one side, and this
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: week is more cup action, the League Cup, this time
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: where they have been drawn away to a Bromley Green
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Sports Club. New Romney's first team continued their good form
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: beat in Bexley five to two at home, pushing them
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: up to twelfth place. This weekend it's a home game
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: in the Kent Intermediate Challenge Shield against Guru Nanak who
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: are just one place behind New Romney in the table,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: so that should be a very close game. Romney reserves
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: drew tour with faveryshim Athletic in the Kent Junior Cup,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: so once again penalties. Well, this one was a thriller.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Both sides scored their five penalties apiece, but it looks
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: like Romney kept the nerve and won the shootout six
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: penalties to five. Even more cup action this Saturday, as
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the reserves are also at home. There's two weeks running
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: both teams have been at home. The reserves take on
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Elenham Wanderer's reserves in the League Cup. Now I'm not
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: quite sure what happened to the invictored disability team. This
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. I could tell you that much.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: They were beaten ten to two last Sunday by time
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: manager Garret Wilson was not happy with the referee and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: he maintains three blatant penalties should have been given for
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: his lads, and he also felt the home side were
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: indeed getting the better of the decisions. However, he did
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: still praise the boys and Man of the match went
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to Vinnie Perry. So come on, lads, onwards and upwards.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Now their next game is away on the twenty third
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of November in the Kent Disability Football League tournament which
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they play over at Faversham. Okay, time for a bit
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of music again. Now this is Westlife and Fall again babe,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that's Westlife there. Okay, moving on now to hockey. Yes,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Joe Tolhurst, as we know, plays for the first team
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: in the Folks and Optimists, but sadly the men's Verse
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: eleven they lost four to one to Sittingbourne last Saturday,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: will Mead getting the single goal. The men's second team
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they lost four to two to Maidstone and Nick Hopkins
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and Jack goodin scoring there. The third team they drew
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: two all with Old william Sonians Steve Timmins and phil
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: King of getting themselves on the score sheets. Men's fourth
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: teen they lost two nil to Sittingbourne. Men's fifteen they

  Speaker 1: the show, but he's so busy these days. They're doing
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: basketball stuff, either coaching or school visits or they's got
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: paperwork to do. But it's just it just hasn't be impossible.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: But if your child wants to try basketball, there's a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: beginner session on Saturdays between the nine and eleven at
• 33:07

• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a bit of rugby now, because as usual when we
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: get a guest in it does go on a bit.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm banging out the sport here. Rugby new is
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: now the first fifteen that folks, and listen to this one.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: They fell one point short of a century of points
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on Saturday when they trounced Beckenham ninety nine points to ten.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Now I can't find a fixture for this Saturday. Their
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: next scheduled game is on the twenty second of November

  Speaker 1: So the second team and the Ladies team had a

  Speaker 1: little wobble there and I'm hoping they're but bounced back
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: at their next fixture. Okay, this is Kelly Clarkson and because.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Of you, because.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Because that's a nice song, isn't it Kelly Clarkson Because
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of You? Right here we go again. Last Saturday I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: was on the mic at the Bexhill on Sea for
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Remembrance Run, which consisted of four distances a mile,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a five k, ten k and a half marathon. Around
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: five hundred five hundred runners took part over the four distances,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and I spotted just one solitary runner from Focus and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Running Club and that was Greg Dixon, who completed the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: half in a time of one hour, forty six minutes
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: fifty six seconds. Now, what a lovely day. The weather
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: was like totally unseasonable. It really was at sunshine, had
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: warm temperatures, very little wind. It was really nice. And
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the nice thing about this run is that the organizers
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: make a donation to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Now I'm out with an old colleague of mine. His
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: name is Graham Penn and I first met Graham back
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: years ago when we compared a race at the iRIf
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Hendon Museum for a Battle of Britain weekend and he
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: ran in an armor uniform and he's since run the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Poppy Run in an armor uniform and the run like
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the Army univer including boots as well. This year he
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: did the ten k and he's a great character and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: we had a little chat sort of off air, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: then I interviewed him in front of everybody, and he
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: really did enjoy the day. He came all the way
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: down from Wales just for the event. He stayed at
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a little B and B up the road and it
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: was a great fun weekend. So when down to you, Graham,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: hope you got home safely. He's a bit of a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: camera man, no, not taking pictures, one of those cameras
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: real ale, you know. And on the way home, I've
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: don't know how many pups he stopped at, but he
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: certainly does like his real Ale and I think I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: might get into that camera. It sounds like a better
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: than running. It sounds like okay, So what else have
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: we got This Sunday, it's back on the mic for
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: me over at Ramsgate for the Coastal Striders Coastbuster ten
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: k and tim I run, and they've also they've also
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: got a one kilometer junior run, so places were going
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: fast the last time I check. So get over to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: a nice work dot org and have a look, just
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: in case they've run out or they've sold out and
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go over there and there might
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: not be any entries on the day. And if I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: ly park run venues folks are running and Athletic Club
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: literally took over Saturday's park run last week filling every
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: conceivable marshal imposition. It was a great turnout. Four hundred
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and fifty runners took part. Now, a park run takeover
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: is literally self explanatory. It means that a club or
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: a firm or similar have the opportunity to run the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: event solely on their own, but of course under the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: guidance of experienced volunteers. Forty members of the club turned
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: out and they even have club members acting as pacers
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: from any distance from any time rather from eighteen to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: forty minutes. This certainly helped runners and many of them,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: thanks to the pacers, managed at a personal best time. Now,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: despite the high attendance, several runners were still out and
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: about elsewhere, and they might have been on holiday. But
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Andy Noble and Leslie Clancy run the Whitley Bay Park Run,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: which is on the northeast coast of England, James Barney
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: run the Great Lions Park Run which is in Gillingham,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and Stuart West found his park Run in Keswick in Cumbria.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Now a few days for your diary and Saturday, the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: twentieth of December I shall be on the mic at
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the Dover Waterfront Park Run for their Christmas festive event Thursday,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the twenty fifth of December, Yes, Christmas Day, folks on
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: are putting on their festive park run. And then on
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Boxing Day it's the Saltward Boxing Day Run. That's three meals,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: three meals, three miles of hills for a hangover cure.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: And now we'll be running out of time now and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: now I want to play this one, and this would
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: probably see us out. Actually, this is one for all
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the Coastal Striders. I shall be playing this at the
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: start of the race for their they call it the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Coastbuster ten and this is about as close as I
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: could get to Coastbuster. So back, settle back and listen
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to Ray Parker's Junior and the Ghostbusters. But this song
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: is for everyone that's going over to Ramsgate on Sunday.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: It's the ten k ten miler organized by Coastal Striders
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: and their race is called the coast Buster. I'll be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: there on the mic. Come over and say loo, Well
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: that's it for me. I won't be around for the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: next three weeks. I'm off to Cyprus for a bit
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of sunshine. However, I will be joining eighty on Saturday
• 39:55
