• 0:15
  Speaker 1: have news about a local football rugby. We've got basketball,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we've got hockey. We've got a little a roundup of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: my weekend coming up. And this weekend I should be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: watching the folks. Then in Victor Disability team playing away
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: against the Chelsea disability team.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: That's on Saturday.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Then on Sunday I'll be at the Canterbury ten mile
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: race on the mic during the runners in.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And on today's show we've got a report on.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: What might be the smallest park run on the globe.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Tell you more about that later. In the meantime, let's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: listen to this floor filler. Get your dancing shoes on.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get some stick for this, but I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: love this song. It's Rick Astley, Rick Astley there, come on.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I bet you were swirling around the kitchen with your
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: long raincoat on. I'm not dead for ages, okay. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: welcome to the midwek Sports Show. This is Kevin a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: sports very daily here at Radio Folkston. So we'll crack
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on with a bit of football news. Well folks and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in Victor welcomed. The Burgess Hill to the Alkaline Stadium
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: last Saturday in front of one two hundred and thirty spectators.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: In Victor went one kneel down in the twenty seventh
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: minute and it stayed like that until halftime. In Victor
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: fans had to put up with several mischances until the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: eighty fourth minute when Joe Lawson equalized and that's how
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's stayed until the final whistle. So more on that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: game on Saturday, actually for tuning in on Saturday the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Saturday Sports Show with myself and Adye Dawks. He was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the man at the match, so you'd be telling you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: all about it. This week is another home fixture, this
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: time against sixteenth place Wingate and Finchley. But as we've
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: seen in the past, they did come to Folcus in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and beat us. There are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: no easy games in this league and even though in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Victor are thirteen points clear, they must push on and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get three points on Saturday after a bit of a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: lean's patch because Chatham are on their heels. I mean,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: thankfully folks have got the points and Chatham have got
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's three games in hand, that's nine points.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But they've got to win those three games, so whilst
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they've got their massive advantage, they want to make the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: most of it. High Toown remained second from bottom of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Southern Counties East Football League as they went down
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to Neil against Chiselhurst Gleeb last Saturday. The club below them, Stansfeld,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: are level on points. They have a game in hand.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Tuesday evening it was a bit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Of a thriller.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: They were playing Snodling Town in the Challenge Cup and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it ended Neil Neil, which sounds I don't know, pretty
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: pretty boring, but what happened afterwards It went to penalties
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and I have won the penalty shootout nine penalties to eight. Well,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so I mean that must have been nail biting for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the managers then all the players indeed, and strangely enough,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this Saturday they meet again, this time in the league
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and this time at Snodlands Ground. In the energ Kent
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: County League, New Romney were beaten five nil away against
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Long Lane. This Saturday they're at home to Metro Gas.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Now Hawkins might be able to tell New Romney all
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about metro Gas actually, because last Saturday they beat them
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for to one at their ground in Erith. Now at
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the moment I can't find a fixture for Hawkins, but
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: there are some cup games. And also there's that odd
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: number of teams in the league. They've got nineteen teams
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in fact, so every now and then somebody misses a game. Okay,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So a bit of music now, and this is from
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: This is the Coral and in the.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Morning they go great harmonies from the Adoobie Brothers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: What are full believes?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And before that we had Coral in the Coral in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the morning from two thousand and five. Okay, a bit
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of a Folkston Saints basketball news now. Now, the under
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: fourteen boys beat Sussex Storm at the weekend by one
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and seven points to forty five, but unfortunately the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: boys under sixteen eighteen lost a very close match against
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: top of the table Cambridge by sixty three points to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: fifty seven. Now on Saturday mornings between nine and eleven
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: at the Three Hills there is a junior basketball for beginners.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That's for boys and girls aged six and upwards. For
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: further information, please visit the Saints Basketball Folkston facebook page. Now,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: going back to the under fourteens, well that's sitting top
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of the Southeast Conference Division. They've played fourteen games, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Bromley Fury Boys are just one point behind and they've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: got a game in hand. The big uses that they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: play each other on February fourteenth, eleven fifteen at the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Three Heels. Now the SAME's Boys of six games to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: go and Bromley have seven. So this game on the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: fourteenth is the real top of the table clash. It
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: could be the title decider. It's been a really tight season.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I've been watching the under fourteen boys and they've had
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: their noses in front, but Bromley are just chasing them
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And you know.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Basketball as this since the Three Heels has opened, some
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of the sports have grown massively. Now basketball was always
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: quite popular, but now it's really popular and it's a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: bit l like hockey. I'm going to do a massive
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: recap of all the hockey teams are very shortly.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But first of all, we're going to play a bit
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of music.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And then as I say we've got, I'm going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: do the hockey team. Have got the hockey club, have
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: got fourteen teams, and so I'm going to go right
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: through every single one of them until you had the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: getting on this year. In the meantime, sit back and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: listen to the police. Every little thing she does is magic.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Every little thing she does is magic. And I just
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: can't picture the three of them jumping around and bouncing
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: around in the classroom for some reason, I don't know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it was a video. Perhaps I've dreampt here and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: made it up right hockey time the hockey season where
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it was in the second half of the hockey season now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so I've decided to do a comprehensive report on how
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: all fourteen teams are doing so far. So we started
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the top with the men's first team. Well, they came
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: up that it was great they got promotion last year
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: into the Premiere but they are struggling a little bit now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: They lost two to one on Saturday against Mardon Russets
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and as an Australian guest player, Matt Neeson, he scored
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the only goal. We'd be talking about them a bit
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. So unfortunately the folks and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: men's first team are second from bottom in the Premier League.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Moving on to the second team, well, they had a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: good no sorry, they lost for to one against Herne
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Bay on Saturday, Alex Wizzard getting the goal, and they're
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in Division one. They are currently eighth out of eleven
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: so holding their own And the men's third team. They
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: didn't have a game on Saturday, but they're in Division
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: two and they are third out of eleven teams in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: their league. The men's fourth team, they beat Canterbury Miller's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: three to one, goals coming from Kyle Mackett he got
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: two and Charlie Peppery got one, and they are in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Division three and they are currently ninth out of twelve.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The men's fifteen where they drew one all against Canterbury
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Schoirs ten diet Nika he got the goal, and they
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: play in Division five and they are sixth out of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: eleven teams. Now the men's sixteen, they didn't have a game,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but they are top, top out of eleven doing well.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That's in Division six. They're top in Division six. The
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: men's seventh team, Oh, listen to this. They won nine
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to one, right and the goal scorers were Matt Carter
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he got four, Johnny Gomi and he got two, Matt
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Goodwin he got two, and Adam Nordon got a single goal,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: making it nine that they are doing great guns they're
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in Division seven.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They are top also out of twelve. They beat.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The team they beat were called BB eight C and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in the men's section the eighth team. Yes, they've got
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: eight teams. Unfortunately they lost seven to Adam Copping and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Tom Waite getting the goals. Now, we've got to remember
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they are a development side, so they're not all senior players.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: They're getting youngsters coming in and they're having a go
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: so but they're not doing too bad. They're tenth out
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of twelve in Division nine, which in our attention to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the Ladies now, but they're having a great season. They
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: are excuse me, they are top of Vision one East.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Now this is a strange one always find it's a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: bit strange. But in the Division one East, the Folkston
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in Victor Folks in Victor Folkston Optimists have got two
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: teams in.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: The same division.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: In actual fact, the Ladies first played the Ladies seconds
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and true to form the Ladies one of four to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: one goals coming from Izy Prout, Ashley Taylor, Becky Bird
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and Laila Riley. And the goal for the Ladies second
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: team that was scored by Laurel Fryer. So we've got
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Ladies' first team they are top of Division one
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: East and the Ladies second team are ninth in Division
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: one East. Ladies third team they drew two all with
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Maidstone Lauren Minister getting the goal, getting one of the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: goals and Izzy Timmins getting the second. They are in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Division three and their third no, sorry, the third second
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in the tables. I'd say this report is a real
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: tongue to anyway. They are second in the table. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: right down to the Ladies thirteen. Now the Ladies fourth team.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Here we go again.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: The Ladies fourth team played the Ladies fifteen because they
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: are both in the same Division one division that's Division four,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and this one went true to form as well. The
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Ladies' fourth team beat the fifteen by two goals to nil,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Sarah Chiesman and Sienna Craig getting both the goals, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the Ladies sixteen. Finally, the Ladies sixteen they beat burnt
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Ash Freneil Janet Fuller, Kate Rockle and Vicky Safford getting
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the goal and out of nine teams, well they're doing
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: really well.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They are top. So there you go.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's a round out of all the fourteen teams. But
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know what, I don't think we have just touched
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: on the Sunday's teams because it's the juniors on a Sunday.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: On a Sunday.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: The under fourteen boys Spitfires their second out of five team.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The under fourteen boys Hurricanes they're third out of six,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the under fourteen girls are second out of six teams,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and the under sixteen girls are second out of five teams.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That's as much as I can gleam from Hockey England
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and the Amy's reports. But I did write to Amy
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to see if she could tell me a little bit
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: about this Australian import, so this is what she sent me.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The Australians have come over from a team called Canberra Chill,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in a similar way to how cricket clubs have overseas
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: players come over for a season. One of our guys
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is a cricketer, so we used his experience to putting
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: feelers out and context. After a lot of hard work
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: on his part, candidates were found. They then had zoom
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: calls with our men's and ladies coaches and captains to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: see if they would be a good fit for the club.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: The two guys arrived at New Year and the girl
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: arrived last Saturday. She landed in the morning straight to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the club to play in the afternoon. All of them
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: are playing in the first elevens and are helping with
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the club coach for seniors and juniors and they're here
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: till the end of the season. Now did a bit
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of research into Canberra Chill. They are a massive club
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in the capital city of Australia. They're a professional club
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and they've got over a thousand members that are not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: all professional members, but obviously their first team is professional
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and the Ozzes over here. They've made a great impact
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and immediate impact at the Opposa Club down there now
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a few snippets. Both junior and masters competitions are now
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in full swing. The club is hosting county finals under
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: tens County Finals day I see in March and I've
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: been down there.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: On these county days and they are massive.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: There is games going on because they play across the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: pitches and use up two pitches and there's just like
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: thousands of kids. It really is and that's a thank
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you to the fact that the Three Hills have got
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the facilities, because not many other clubs could do that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: There's lots of junior players who have been selected for
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: county teams at different age groups. Lots of senior players
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: are currently trailing for Southeast Masters trialing for Southeast Master's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: sides for tournaments later in the year, and a couple
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of other players are currently in international training squads for
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the Master's World Cup. And we're waiting on final scad selections,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: but we can confirm Kay Parsons has been selected for
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the over sixty five Indoor World Cup squad. So congratulations
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to Kay. Now the last little bit, and I'll leave
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: this to last because she's the most important lady at
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the Folks and Optimist Hockey Club. Media guru has been
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in here several times. Amy Bumpstead. Now she's the second
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: team goalkeeper. She's the flying tangerine. If you see the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: picture on the on the website, that's her flying across
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: across the gold Mouth. Now she's been picked for the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Welsh over forties, that this year's Four Nations tournament in
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Southgate and the World Cup in Rotterdam. How good is that?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: But the thing is Amy has to sell fund for
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the privilege, for this privilege, and so she's set out
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a go Fundme page to help out on tournament expenses,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So please help Amy out. She's dedicated years to the game,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: years to the club, and I can guarantee that on
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a Monday morning, I'll have fourteen reports in my inbox.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: You know, she's a credit to the sport and to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the whole club itself. She's really well thought of. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: if you can support her, you can go to my
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Facebook page. You'll find a link there, or go to
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Amy Bumstead's Facebook page, and please just give a little
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: bit under the amount that she's done for the game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is the track.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I heard this during the week, actually, you know, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I thought I have known this for ages. So sit
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: back for the next nearly nearly six minutes. Actually this
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is Steely Dan and do it again Steely Dan, nineteen
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: seventy two. And that was nearly six minutes. You know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: there's not many songs in the seventhies that went on
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: for six minutes. It's still normally about four when in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the sixties it was two minutes twenty seconds. Okay, time
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: for some park runners. Well, our Saturday local park runners
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: are slowly looking for different venues to discover folks and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: park run is still going strong. Last Saturday, four hundred
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and ten runners took part. Some runners stayed in Kent,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: visiting venues such as Ashford who had a record turnout
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: five hundred and seven. Pegwell Bay had two hundred and fifteen.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Four hundred and thirty five runners took part in the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Great Lines Park in Dullingham. In Medway, three hundred and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: seventy seven were at Walmerdal, seventy six run at swan Leae.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and ten took part at Whitecliffs Lake, which
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is near Dartford. Now these all these races are where
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: some of our local runners and made their way to.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Last Saturday, for further afield, Rosie Smisen was in Birkenhead.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I can't help saying.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I have to say it with the Liverpool Birkenhead near Liverpool,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: where nine hundred and forty three runners took part. Now
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: this race relied on fifty three volunteers. Now, arguably Bushy Park,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the home of Park Run, is one of the busiest.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Last Saturday, one thousand, six hundred and five runners took
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: part and listened to this They needed one hundred and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: four volunteers and they all came forward to help out. Now,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: before we go onto the subject of volunteering. I'd just
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like to say well done to two local park runners,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: David and Belenda Belinda Hitchin Now they founder the Susquehanna
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Riverwalk Park Run, which is in Pennsylvania, USA. Pennsylvania is
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a look on the west coast. Is the sort of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the next day up from New York. Now dug a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: bit deeper and found that David actually came first. That
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: was the actually came first that day. But this is
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: no disrespect to David. There was only ten runners in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: there and Belinda came sixth. Now, once again I started
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: digging even deeper. I found these stats amazing. For this
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: part run. It's been going since October twenty twenty one,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and the record entry is a massive thirty nine, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that happened to be on the one hundredth event. They
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: were celebrating one hundred part runs.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: It's done.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine people turned up. One week there was just
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: one runner and three volunteers, but it still went ahead
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And the highest number of volunteers recorded ever was ten.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: But that day there were twenty runners. And now David
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and Belinda are currently on holiday in the USA, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: are very keen to come in on the show and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: tell us more about that park run, and it must
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: be one of the smallest park runs in the world.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And Belinda, to be fairs, you did send me a lovely,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: lovely long email describing her trip and her day with
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: her and David at the Susquehanna park run. But I'm
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: not going to read it out because I want them
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to come in and tell us about it, and so
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: just sit tight and hopefully when they get home we
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: can sell something count So this track is called from
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the one of these and you and Me song. Ah
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: as well, We're fun.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I tried to make you the wan of the is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: there's the you and Me song.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, now I've got some more park run us and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I think this is really an important message to get
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: across to anybody that does a park run. I want
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to tell you about the Victoria Dock park Run. It's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: located not far from the River Thames, close to the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Thames Barrier and London City Airport. It started in March
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, nearly eight years ago, but the last time
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it took part was in December last year, when they
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: had to call it a day due to lack of volunteers. Now,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: as we know, part run relies on volunteers. Sorry, to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: initially put together a new part run takes time effort organizing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You need a core team, and initially you need investment.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: You do need some sponsors. You've got to buy some
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: kit and it doesn't happen for nothing initially at the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: start of it. And although you're getting your run for nothing,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: there's lots of other things as well, but most of
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: all you need volunteers.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Park run director's job starts on the Monday morning after
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the previous Saturday's event. Trying to fill in that volunteer
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: role is often the hardest thing to do. We've all
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: seen posts on social media during the week asking for volunteers,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: then normally, by some miracle they've found and the race
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: goes ahead. However, I think, I mean, is this good enough?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Are you a regular park runner if you ever volunteered,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Come on, be honest. Now, if more regular park runners
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: just occasionally gave up the morning run and volunteered, races
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: like Victoria Dock would still be going ahead, And what
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: worries me it could happen to more events around the country.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Park Run has been a new journey for thousands of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: people who've never run before and found it did wonders
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: for their health and mental well being.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It's free.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It's nine o'clock on a Saturday at over twelve hundred venues.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: How lucky are you park runners, especially you tourists, when
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you're flying around looking for something to do when you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: are away on your holidays. So let's not see how
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: local races go down the road of Victoria Dock. Do
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: something special. If you're a park runner, give something back.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You'll find it really rewarding. Become a volunteer.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. So that's the word.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: That's the message that's gone out, and I hope it
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't fall on deaf ears. Okay, getting back to the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: music now. Now, we just played Steely Dan. That was
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: nearly six minutes and I've just grabbed a song off
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the playlist which has come from the sixties, and as
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I was saying earlier, it's this one is Jerry and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the Pacemakers.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: How do you do it?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And I'll be back shortly. It's only one minute and
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: fifty one seconds long.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Folkston's community radio station Radio Folkstone. How do you do
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: what you do? Only perhaps you fall for me like
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: a b Well, I do ritten you.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Ago that's turning the clock back to nineteen sixty three,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: that the record was one minute fifty one seconds, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I think there must have been a lot of twenty
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: second musical interlude in the middle there, so they certainly
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: made them shortened sweeting back in the day. Okay, so
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: rugby news now, folks. The first fifteen had an excellent
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: seventeen twelve victory away at Thani Wanderers last Saturday, pushing
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: them up to third place. This week they welcome Vigo
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to the Burlington Fields. So little bit of research here
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we go. Bigo Rugby Club began in nineteen sixty eight
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: at the Vigo Inn and the club was named after
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the village of Vigo, which is in the Gravesham district
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: in Kent. Unfortunately for Vigo their bottom of the league,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: having only one one game out of twelve, so welcome
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to folks. Then on Saturday, the second fifteen didn't have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a game last week due to there being an odd
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: number of teams in the league. But this Saturday, the Seconds,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: who are eighth in the division, travel away to Gillingham
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and Coreyan's, who are bottom. The Folks and Ladies now
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: have to wait until Sunday, February eighth, when their next
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: fixture is a way to becker Haamian Ladies, which means
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a trip very near to Croydon in London. However, the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: good news is for folks and ladies anyway, that the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: folks and Ladies are top and the Beckahamian Ladies are bottom.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So we're I've still got a bit of time, so
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we squeezed this song in. It's Uncle Cracker Follow Me,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and it's really long. It's three and it's twenty one seconds.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You don't know how you met me and you don't nobody.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Elsie a good cracker there follow Me from two thousand
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and three.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we are.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: The clock is ticking, doesn't it always, So we've got
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit more to do. I'm going to tell
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you about my busy weekend coming up now. On Saturday,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be traveling with folks in the Victor Disability football
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: team to watch them play Chelsea Disability Team at the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: premier club's training facilities in Cobbham in Surrey. Now there's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: talk of the Chelsea team actually entering a London Division
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: next season instead of being in the Southeast Region. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: this may be the last trip to Cobbon for the lads.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Now there's a coach leaving the Dugout Inturon Road at
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: twelve o'clock sharp, so if you're interested in coming along
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to support them, it is just five pound ahead for guests.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: What a bargain.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So please get in touch with the manager, Garrett Wilson
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: on Facebook or myself and I'll pass the message on them.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And I must just add a massive, massive thank you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to the former folks in Victor Supporters Club who've kindly
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: sponsored the trip. Now then on Sunday, my first race
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: on the MIC for twenty twenty six is the Canterbury ten.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: This is expected to be an extremely busy morning due
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to a venue change and a course change. Everyone loves
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a course change, don't you, and I think this will
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: attract thousands of people.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: People do enjoy the old course.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I've run it a few times and it is tough,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: but the challenge of a new course is something to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: look forward to. So please note that today, yes Thursday,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is the last day for online entries and there'll be
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: no entries on the day. For further information, please check
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: out the Canterbury ten. That's Canterbury one zero Canterbury ten
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: facebook page. So if it's anything you want to know
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: about the race, that's the place to look at it. Now,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this one I've dug out for the folks and in
