  Speaker 1: Optimius Hockey Club and the folks at Rugby Club. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you know it's not long until the London Marathon, so
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I have a couple of stories to read out about
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: runners raising money for their chosen charity. So let's get
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this show on the road and celebrate the birthday of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Sir Roger Harry Daltrey. Roger Daughtree was eighty two on
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the first of March, and what better way to celebrate
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: his birthday than this belt o a track. You know what,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: he certainly didn't die before he got old. Sit back
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and listen to my generation from the who time around
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Jeneras just be Charles, We get around around Roger Daughty
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Eighty two on the first of March.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And I mean, what a sensational record that was when
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it came out, would you believe? I mean, only you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: olders will know this. It was sixty one years ago
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and the classic phrase in there is hood by die
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: before get old. Well he didn't and he's still out
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: there rocking and he got a knighthood. I bet he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: didn't think he'd ever get a nighthood back in nineteen
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sixty five. Anyway, let's move on to some football now. Well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it sounds like folks and in Victor just didn't show
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: up at Biller Ricky last week. Listening to eighties commentary
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on Seasider's Radio as they went down one nal, it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: seems Billy Ricky were in control for most of the game,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so it's a case of onwards and upwards. However, the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: table looks like this. Brentwood a third played thirty three
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: with sixty one points, Avely a second played thirty three
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: games with sixty five points, and in Victor, our top
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: played thirty three games, have twelve point advantage with seventy
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: seven points. So this Saturday's home game against Potter's Bar,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: who are twentieth, will give the Layers a chance to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: bounce back and reassert themselves at the head of the table.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Hive Town picked up three valuable points against fellow strugglers
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: at Stansfeld in a massive relegation battle. Despite going one
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kneel down at halftime, they bounce back to win three
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to one under the guidance of new manager Andy Dreary.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: This Saturday, the newly shaped team face an enormous test
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: when they travel away to third place Fisher. So let's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hope the resurgence continues. So good news again from our

• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the Ladies will there be an OPS team in another semifinal,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: another final, national final. I think they played them in Nottingham.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think they go up to so let's see how
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they get on.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: That'd be great.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm going to go back to nineteen eighteen now,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and I've said this before on the Sports show that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I do love playing songs by really powerful female vocalists,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and we don't hear much about her these days, but
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I love this track. This is Barber Streisend Woman in
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Love Barbs Trias and nineteen eighty Woman in Love, great track.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I really love that song, and that was written by
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the Beegs, and I reckon that if you listen closely
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to that song you can just hear them in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: back harmonizing, and that they wrote so many songs, you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable what they just sort of churned them out
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and they were so so good. Okay, so moving on
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with the sport now London Marathon. Well, it's about seven
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: weeks to go into the London Marathon, which takes place
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, April twenty sixth, a date setting stone for
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: those taking part now, whether you're an experienced runner or
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: somebody doing it for the first time. Training in recent weeks,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's being awful, isn't it. It's been where, It's been cold,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: been soggy, it's been really terrible. Hopefully the weather will
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: be a bit brighter hour as you pound out those
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: final miles in those long runs leading up to the marathon, itself. Now,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in recent years, I've had several runners in the studio,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: but my favorites are the ones that tick the following boxes.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: It's their first ever, ever ever marathon, they are local
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to our folks in shep Wave region and they're raising
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: money for a charity. Now, if you fit into that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: category and want to come into the studio and share
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: your story, then please get in touch. I've made a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: post on my Kevin Daily Facebook page where you can
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: send me a private message. You can have a chat
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: on the phone. Now worked last year for three first timers.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for. Three first timers. Now might
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: have one Phil King. I'm hoping I can drag him
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: in to the studio. He's running for the Aspinill Foundation.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But last year three first timers came in. They were
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: quite nervous when they came in, but they soon got
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: used to it, told us their stories and the end
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: result was fantastic. That was Carly Morgan, then Kelly and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Ellie Current. Now I'm not just interested in first timers,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of course, So if you've got a story you want
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: me to read out on your about your London marathon
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and perhaps you're raising money for a special cause that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is close to your heart. Then once again, please get
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in touch, because this is what community radio is all about,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: connecting local people and local stories. We're here radio folks,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and we all volunteers. We give our time up to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: give back to the community, to get people from the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: community into the radio station to tell to share stories
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: about what's going on in our region so that everybody
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can hear them. And this is the beauty of local radio. Now,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I do have a couple of stories to read out
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: today about local runners raising money for their chosen charity.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: But first of all, let's listen to this track. Now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: if you actually run the London Marathon, you won't hear
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: this track, but when you get home, or will you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: watch it when you've taped it?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Taped it?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That's going back a bit in it when you've recorded it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: This is the song you're here well, that's the theme
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: from the London Marathon, and I mean it's it's known
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: as the theme from the London Marathon, but it's actually
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: called the Trap. It was a theme song from a film.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I do believe. I must have to look at it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Look out again.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I used to know, but I'll have a look out
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: again and tell you on Saturday. Okay, So staying with
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: our London Marathon theme then, now my first story heading
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: towards their running day in London is about two friends,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Annie Hobby and Laura Holly. Now Annie is raising money
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: for the Cordicop Foundation and Laura was lucky enough to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: gain a ballot place. But it's helping Annie with her fundraising.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Now a ballot place. How rare is that? When's a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: last time you heard of anybody getting a ballot place.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I know people that have entered the London Marathon for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: fifteen eighteen years never got in and had to go
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: down that charity route. So Laura, you are so lucky
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to have a ballot place and run with Annie.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: The Cordycock Foundation is a local charity that perhaps goes
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: under the radar a bit.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Now you may have driven past it loads of times
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and not noticed it. Its location is on the A
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: twenty between Hive and Ashford. Now Annie is passionate about
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this charity, being a primary school teacher and a mother
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of two young children. As the Cardcott Foundation helps children
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in their schools and foster homes who have had huge
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: challenges to the start of their lives. Annie and Laura
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: are training buddies and Annie will never run on her
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: own unless it's with an other training partner, a lurcher. Enid, Annie,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: how did you think up of a name like that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: for a dog? Enid?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: There's no other Inni out there, I bet anyway.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The two ladies love to travel and run. In October
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: last year they ran a half marathon in Rome, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: he ran the Paris Marathon, raising three two hundred pounds
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: for British Heart Foundation and went on to do a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: fifty three kilometer run for White Ribbon, which is a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: leading charity in England and Wales addressing men's violence against women.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And he has a long term neee issue which requires
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a chiropractive visit every two weeks, but it sounds like
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that's not going to stop her, and he and Laura
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: are going up on a Saturday and staying over. Then
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the families and friends are coming up on a Sunday
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and they've organized a big meal afterwards to celebrate.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And he wants to.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Say a big thank you to Laura for always agreeing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to sign up for races. Sounds like she's been a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: bit frist ganged into that but it's great to have
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a running partner that's got your same interest as I world.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Unto you, Laura, and a big thanks for the support
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: given by her husband Simon and the children Dulcie and Marley,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and likewise, Laura wants to thank her husband Chris, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: her children and the cheerleaders Evening and Noah. Now, so
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: far Annie and Laura between have raised twelve hundred pound
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: for the Cardycott Foundation. And nowadays, well certainly this year,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I've noticed that the charities, perhaps it's not therefore they
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: are having to pay more for the entries. It used
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to be like fifteen hundred than it was two thousand,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: but now they're wanting two and five hundred pound for
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: an entry. Now I'm not blaming the charities. I don't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: know what goes on behind the scenes, but that is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a massive amount to find, isn't it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: But people still go out there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And they do it, and they do all sorts of things,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: cake sales, you know, quiz nights. So big, well done
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to Annie and Laurie. Laura, you're what halfway at least
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: halfway there, And once this story goes out on my
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Facebook page, I will attempt to put a link up
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: there to boost you're just giving okay, so got I've
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: known this for a while. This is nineteen eighty six.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Can't be a touch of bon Jovi nineteen eighty six,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you give love a bad.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Okay?

  Speaker 1: the recent years a thing called Seaside has so if
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Folks and in Victor are playing away and indeed playing
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: at home, you can listen online to the live commentary
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and it's becoming more and more popular as folks and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Are doing very very well. Indeed.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Now I also appear at several erases around the county
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and sometimes further afield and I love playing this one,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: especially if you've got a two lap course. It makes
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it puts us a bit of a smile on the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: runners' faces.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Bacially, if there's the two laps.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: This is called Let's go Round Again by the average
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: White band.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Average white band.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: If the song runners hate here, Let's go around again?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And I must have met been on the finish line
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: at a race. I do learn a few new swear words,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: things like oh my gosh, that was really hard or
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: words to that effect. Okay, so we've got another marathon
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: story to read out now. This story is from Chloe Westhead,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: who will be running her second marathon in London. Her
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: first was in Southampton in twenty nineteen. Her chosen charity
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for both these races is Mary Currie, who are the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: UK's leading end of life charity, a charity very dear
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to Chloe's heart. Chloe is born and bred South Londoner
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and always wanted to run London. She and her partner
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and now husband moved to her house in Somerset Road
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: in Folkston and her dad Andy Handy Andy as he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was known, helped them with a complete renovation of the house.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But then they had the devastating news that dad Andy
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was given six to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: nine months to live, but passed away just seven weeks later.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: On hearing the news, Chloe immediately moved back to London
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and to help care for a dad along with her
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: two sisters, an identical twin called Lucy, her older sister
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Sophie and her mum Kay Andy was adamant his last
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: days were to be spent in the family home, a
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: home he totally renovated in Brixton at the age of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: twenty one, so the family took it in turns to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: give him twenty four hour care, but of course it
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: took its toll as they all held down full time jobs.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They were receiving support from the locals and Christopher's Hospice,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: but this is where Mary Curie nurses came in. They
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: offered overnight care, keeping him comfortable with the calm, loving presents,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and the family cannot praise them enough, which is why
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Chloe continues to fundraise so that other families can receive
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the excellent care that they received, and he finally passed
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: away peacefully at the age of fifty three. Now, Chloe's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: training has been hampered by a hip injury, which she's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: progressing well.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: She's a keen.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Cyclist that says this is her last marathon because of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the commitment to training. Now, if you'd like to meet
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Chloe and have a chat with her about Mary Curry.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: She will be at Morrison's on Sunday, the eighth of
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: March this Sunday from ten o'clock with a bucket and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a smile. No doubt, Handy Andy will proudly be looking
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: down on Chloe as she runs the London Marathon, cheering
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: her on as she looks forward to with determination acrossing
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: that finish line where she knows that her husband Dan
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and her two children Isabelle and Elliott will be waiting.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Chloe has a just Giving page and I'll be sharing
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that as well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: So now that is a really moving story, isn't it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I put the word out to see if there was
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: any stories.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Out there, but I didn't quite kind of hit me
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that one did, And so I hope I've done it
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: justice Chloe, because that was a tough thing to go through,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: moving down here then moving back. But you're paying the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Merry Cury people by running these marathons and raising money
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: so that people will it'll just make people end of life.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: You know, they will call on Mary Curry and get
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the same treatment that Andy got. So big will dones
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: to you so and also to Annie and Laurie. Annie
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and Laura keep getting them too mothered up Annie and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Laura for their story about the Cordycott Foundation. And I

  Speaker 1: me about your London marathon, now, I am basically looking
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: for people to come into the studio. I think I've
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: got one. Well, I'm looking for runners that is their
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: first ever, ever ever marathon, and their first ever marathon
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: is running at London and they're running for a charity.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: So it's basically all new.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: If you've run a marathon before, you've got that little
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: bit of experience. But I want runners to come in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and tell me how they're feeling, whether they're confident, whether
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: they're nervous, whether they're looking forward to it, whether they're
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: dreading it. You know, it's a whole whole new ballgame
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: for some people.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So there we go.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So there's the two stories for this week. If you've
• 24:18

• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the Saints under four teen's basketball team chasing that top spot,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: but Bromley Fury keep getting in their way. Both teams
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: are level on points, but Bromley have a far superior
• 24:45
