  Speaker 1: the new Romney ten k some Friday evening, a mixed
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: hockey results and fixtures, and if I get time, I'll
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: chuck in a roundup of my sporty weekend. We have
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a special item on the agenda. Last Sunday, Radnor Park
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Junior Park Run celebrated their very first birthday with balloons,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: cake and a bit of music. And I'm lucky enough
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be joined in the studio by run directors Roy
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Atkins and Tom Wells, who will be telling us all
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: about what it takes to organize a junior park run.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So let's get the show on the road now. I'd
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: love to start the show with an anthem, and what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: better to get the show on the road with a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bit of bon Jovi and It's My Life sing.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: A song for the brook.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, we're a great to do anthem to start the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: show there, and I love starting the show with a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sporty anthem. Okay, so we are in the studio now,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and we're joined by two park run junior run directors.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So let's say hello to Roy Atkins. Good morning, Roy,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: how are you good? Hang on, let me just turn
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you on. There we go first school Boy era. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just start again, Hello, Roy, how are you now? That's good? Yeah? Right?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And Tom are you okay?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Thanks?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: keV good right? Okay, So so Roy, but come to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you first. The first thing I did pick up was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that I believe you're also an event director as well
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as a run director. So what's the difference between an
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: event director and a run director.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: So the run directors are in charge on the day.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: They are the ones that ultimately there for organizing the volunteers,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: making sure the event is safe, and they're in charge
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: of that event on that day, and we've got a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: team of five and we rotate the way through that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: The event director really is making sure the paperwork's done.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: It's kind of one of those administrative roles. We make
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: sure that if anything comes down from HQ, some new
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: rules or new directives or what changes we might need
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to make in the future, any surveys about our particular
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: park run, that it tends to be the kind of
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: responsibility the event director and sort of the yearly paperwork
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: with the council making sure the insurances. When Parklin renew
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: their insurances, you submit that to the council. So a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: lot of paperwork.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay, right, and now Tom, you are one
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of the five. We will mention the other event directors
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: because they all need a little pat on the back.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You're one of the five event directors. But you've also
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wear another hat, don't you with your social media? So
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: what does that include?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I do so each week I sort of take the
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: photos at the event as well, and then we compile
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: those into sort of a little video which we put
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: out on Instagram. It's just a nice little thing to
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: sort of showcase what we do each week.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the kids love seeing this. I was running
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and they're coming in. But of course you've always got
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this issue with so many children around about pictures of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: children that if you like parents or carers, they want
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: their children photographed. Does that present any problems?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: We do ask us part of our pre race brief
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: in every single week that we highlight that we take
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: photos and we ask the parents or careers guardians to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: come and see us and just let us know, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: we just make sure that those don't end up on
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: any of our social media that goes out.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Yeah, okay, So so Roy, let's come
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: back to you. Let's tell us a little bit about
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your sporty background. You got a running.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: History, reasonably recently. So it was sort of pre pre
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: two thousands. A friend of mine who's actually doing his
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty part run this Saturday, he started
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: doing part run. I thought what's this all about? So
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I went along and then kind of been hooked ever since,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and I've just done an event after event and yeah, yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I really really enjoyed.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: All right, So you started running out of the park
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: round is yeah, yeah, that's good. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I've done some sports before that, martial arts, but it
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was the actual running side of it. And now I've
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: sort of progressed into triflons as well.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Oh do you yeah? Yeah? All right, where have you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: done a triflon? Now?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Did the High Bay? That was yeah?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, in fact, we had them. He was
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: there on Sunday and do you know what he kept
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it quiet? It was his birthday, Max Ransley.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been sitting there before now, so I know
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: all about the Hive Bay. Oh right, so that's that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: great news. And what about you Tom? How did it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all start for you?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: So in my young years I was a keen rugby player,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: finished up in my early thirties and decided I needed
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to keep active. So again Pegwell Bay Part Run was
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: my first one back in twenty fifteen and I've been
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: doing them ever since. But again, like Roy, I've also
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: sort of dabbled in a few triathlons.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Over the years.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Where have you done yours?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Again? High Bay was my first?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've also done one over at Bodiam Castle a
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: few years back.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Bodiam Castle? Where do you swim? Is there a mote
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: around the castle? I've heard about these swims in the moats.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: They get a bit el guy and weedy, don't they?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Some of them they can do?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think there was an earli issue
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: wound you up at Leeds Castle there was too much
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: weed or anyway. We've digressed this, so let's ask you Rouer,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: how did you start? And did your enthusiasm for park
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: run and make you think why haven't we got a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: park running folks?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? So generally after park from we we sort of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: head towards a Catholic coffee and cake afterwards, and we've
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: been talking about it and and Trevor was kind of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: sort saying, I've kind of initiated this, but I'm struggling
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit. And I said, you know, with my
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: project manager hat On, I said, well, I'll give you
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a hand. I said, I'm sure we can work together
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: towards this, you know. And it took a good year
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and a half to get to get up and running.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: We were quite lucky. So the funds, which normally is
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the hardest part to raise, we we got that through
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Susie Ullman, who's the I think she's the treasurer of
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the I think it's Friends of Regnar Parks of Charity
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that helped you to the park and Regna Park and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: they were able to help us out. So that was that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: That bit went quite quickly. Liaison with the council went
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: quite quickly to get permission because obviously it's council run land,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: but I think it sits under lawd Ragna. But the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: hardest work was with part run themselves. I think they
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: just overwhelmed with the amount of requests for new events.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: But the area coordinator Hannah Perry, and she was absolutely brilliant.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: She got email email after email from me to try
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and push them along and try and push them along,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and eventually it happened. But he did take quite a while.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and until maurd Did you get involved with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the junior part run?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: So, like I said, I've been involved sort of doing
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: part runs myself for the last sort of ten years.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And I got my girls, my children into to do
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: in part run and we were venturing over to Ashford,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: over to bets Hager each week from Folkston, and I
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: got to the point I thought it's a bit crazy
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: that we've got over four hundred people every week at
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the adult part run on a Saturday, and I thought
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: we need one in Folkstone. And I contacted park around
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: HQ with with the idea. And fortunately these guys had
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: already sort of.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So they already said oh yeah, said well, I didn't.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Know any of them beforehand, but they put me in
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: contact and and I sort of gladly joined joined the team.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Right. So, back in those early days, how many run
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: directors or do you need a minimum of a quota
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of run directors to actually go ahead that's a good question.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure if there's a minimum,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: But we start with five and we've still got five
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to day.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Oh you've got the same five yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's been a pretty solid team all the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: way through.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And obviously people want to go on holiday, so you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: all cover for each other. But do you if you've
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: got all the five and you're all available, do you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: kind of just do it a week about? So if
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you've got all five of you, just just take it
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in turns.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, We've got like a two weekly rotor, so I'll
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: do it for two weeks and then I'll have a
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: four week gap while the other guys. Oh I see, yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: it gives you a bit of a break in between. Yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: but absolutely, holidays, sickness, we cover for each other to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: be fair, We're there most Sundays anywhere. Yeah right, yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I think all five of us are going to be
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: there this Sunday. And Trevor's the rd this week?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Is he?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Right? And does that work for you as well? Tom?
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, This idea is we've we've got a year sort
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: of planned in advance, right, put a spreadsheet together. It's
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: all color coded, so we know who's who's there and
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: who's not, and we can log when we're due to
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: be away so we can work around it and help
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: cover each other if needs be.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Right now, when we've spoke before and when I spoke
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, you've got a list here in front of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: me of what the day to day running is. So
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I mean on the lead up, first of all volunteers.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we all know we couldn't do the job
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: without volunteers. Have you got if you like a good
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: wedge of volunteers? Have you you know? Or you do
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you like most park runs?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I see?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: What I do find really tough sometimes is that, as
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you say, the senior park runs, they've got four hundred
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and and every week there's a little post says could
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: if anybody spare, could you come along and help us volunteer?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But how do you cope with that? Is that? Is that?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Does it flow nicely for you? A lot of the volunteers,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: honestly does. We've got a core set of volunteers that
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: are there week after week. I think we've had over
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty different volunteers over the last year,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: but we still see the same people week in, week out.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: They are truly amazing and it's great to have them
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and it was great to recognize one of them on
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the You know, Chris Walgar is there. Yes, Yeah, he's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the volunteer of the year, especially with some of these
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: creations to help us sort of token collection. But they are.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: It's a nice little community with the volunteers, with the
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: parents and with obviously with the runners as well that
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the children. It's brilliant right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So later on in this little chat, I will we
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: will be recapping what happened on Sunday, and I do
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: want you to name names about there. There were some
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: awards that went out and I think it's only fair
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that they should get another mention. Now we're having a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: chat here on radio, folks. So I mean, I've got
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: down here looking at these little list of things. Now,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a defibrillator is that word is now becoming more and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: more known by people. Is that something that you must
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: have one or is recommended?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely no, So I must have. That's one of the
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: few bits of equipment that we must have. Without it,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: we can't run the event. Park Run recently changed some
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: of their rules around that. We used to leave the
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: DFIB with the equipment. Folks Regnan Park Bowls Club kindly
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: allowed us to put a stories unit with our equipment
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: on their grounds, really really kind of them. And we
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: used to leave it there, but it changed recently so
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: now we keep it with us. So I'll hand it
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: over to Trevor this Sunday and then he'll keep it
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks and hand it over to
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the next must have a piece of equipment.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, and I mean that's that's a good point actually,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Ruy coming back to you, Tom, the equipment, so you
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: when you turn up on Sunday, you don't bring your
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: own sets of cones and things. It's all stored at
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the Park Bowls Club.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and that's exactly where it is. It's at
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the Bowls Club and really handy location. It's sort of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: yards from such.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: A yeah, and a big shout out to the Bulls Club.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Actually a big thanks for allowing that. I didn't know that,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: So that is something that I do think you deserve
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a pat on the back. I mean the at the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: at the main one on the leaves, they have to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: get buried underneath the band staying every week. Yeah, who's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: got the key or have you got to know I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: got the key. Yeah, So okay, right, we're gonna take
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a little a little break. Now play a bit of music. Now,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: this one I did play. I was there and by
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the way, if you were there on Sunday, I was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: there with a bit of PA equipment, just having a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: little chat, having a little laugh, and there was a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: serious side to it, but there was a happy side
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to it. And as it was the first birthday of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the park run, what better song to play than this one?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder and Happy Birthday.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Just down muddy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that's happy birthday there. And this is what
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we are talking about today. We're in the studios of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Radio Folks and I'm joined by Roy Atkins and Tom Wells,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and we are chatting about the Radnor Park Junior Park
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Runs first birthday. Now, it all happened last Sunday. We
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: were blessed with a nice day and a good turnout
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: as well. So Roy, tell us how how you thought
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the day went on Sunday. Was that a normal, typical
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: day or was it just like a little bit special
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: because it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Was made more special by the amount of young runners
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: that were there, the kids being there, overwhelmed by volunteers,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: which was absolute, truly amazing, And yeah, just the atmosphere
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: of the vibe and it was just great to see
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: so many people in Ragna Park on a Sunday morning.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: That was absolutely amazing.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Right, Tom, we were talking off just now about volunteers,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: but there's kind of another side, an interesting side for
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: youngsters that volunteer, so tell us about that there is.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: So we have a couple of volunteers who come and
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: join us every week who are currently doing their Duke
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Venburgh Awards, So they come along and we've recently sort
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: of set out a program for them so that we
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: can get them to experience every volunteering role that we
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: have at Junior Part Run, so that hopefully by the
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: end of it they can shadow one of us as
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: a run director for the day. So it's a sort
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: of twenty six weeks that they have to volunteer for.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's nice to get some youngsters involved.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Have you had many come through?
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: We've had four today of course of the year, we've
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: had four sort of young people volunteer with.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Us in that role.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Right and now Sunday, besides being a milestone for the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: part run, was time for a little bit of pat
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: on the back and thank you to and you gave
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: some awards out, so who's going to tell us about that.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I can do that, yeah, oh yeah, because you had
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to sort them all out.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: So yeah, the first one we did, and Roy's already
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: mentioned it was our sort of volunteer of the year,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: which went to Chris Walga. He's been amazing. He turns
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: up rain or shine. He's done a few little innovations
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: for us. He's done a token sort so the juniors
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: can hook up their tokens, makes them a lot easier
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: for us to sort out. He's made some little signs
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: for us to try and keep the adults out of
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: the finished final because they do like to run through occasionally.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: We also had our most improved junior, so me and
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Roy did spend a little bit of time sifting through
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the data last week to try and establish who was that,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and it was a young lad called Isaac. He'd gone
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: through them I think was seventeen twenty on his first
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: part run and he's gradually improved throughout the year, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: that's what we wanted, someone who's sort of improved week
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: on week, and before last weekend he was down to
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: twelve ten and then he got another PB on Sunday
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: which was eleven fifty. I think, so he's still improving.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Our junior part runner of the year was a lad
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: called Casey. He'd done forty at the forty six events
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: up until last Sunday. He was our most attended sort
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: of junior, but we had others. There was some thirty
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: seven from some thirty sixes, so we've had some juniors.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Who have been really committed over the year.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And our final award is we had a sort of
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: run director special award that we chose between the five
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: of us and we couldn't have ord this to one individual.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: In the end, we auded to a family. It was
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the Heart family. They come along nearly every week. Dad
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: holds up a power up sign. Mum runs around with
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: some of the other juniors as well to encourage them along.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Both children run most weeks, get involved and they're always
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: there towards the end on the finish line and the
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: finished final cheering, clapping people across the line, and they
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: really embody everything we.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Want to sort of yeah part run.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that is great, It's it's nice. I bet
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: there was a up to them, wasn't it It was?
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I think, Yeah. You can see on Lauren's face when
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: when Joe mentioned it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: So oh great. Now I've seen Lauren as a as
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a if you like, with my mc head on at
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: various races, and she's just got improved and improved improved herself,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know, and obviously it's rubbing off and all the family,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: which is great. Yeah, and now I must ask you,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: there was a lovely cake there, so I think we
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: need to say a thank you to whoever made it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: or acquired it or whether it's a part run standard
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: issue cake.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: No, it was a homemade cakee by our very own
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: rd Kirsty Bristow, was it? And yeah, yeah, I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: she probably could have made five of them and they
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: still wouldn't have been enough.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a shame to cut them up, really,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: some of these cakes. I saw it there, took a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: picture of it and posted it on my social media
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and got lots of likes, and I kept I kept
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: going over and having a little look and it soon went.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But luckily she had some chocolate brownies and things to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: give out. The que was getting longer and longer, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you could so at the back sort of, you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: standing up on their toes. Any left an he left,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and no it was a great touch, really good touch.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So first of all, I don't think we've mentioned the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: other run directors, so so Ray, you just tell us
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the names, you know, not in any pecking order, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of all the other run directors, because they certainly need
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to shout out.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely so he mentioned Kersey Briscoe, Bristol just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: a second ago for a cake skills and our run
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: director skills. We've also got Joe Sherrington and Trevor de
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Vault as well as the team of five right brilliant.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So I do know most of them by sight. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: certainly know Trevor because he I've seen him at several
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: events and he's been on the radio show himself. When
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for the Senior Park run, I think, oh, we were
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: coming up for the tenth anniversary, I think it was,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and we did a little thing on the band stand
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: down there. So it's amazing actually that the Senior Park
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: runs been go ten years now. Yeah, and that was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a good day. It was. The weather wasn't very nice,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: but we managed to drag out a few celebrities on
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the day, so right, I think we've nearly covered everything,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: so I'm just going to look down my list here
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: because we don't want to forget anything, and I don't
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: want you to go out the door and say, oh
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I wish I should have mentioned so and so so
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: real is there anything else you want to add to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: this morning?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Just a big shout out again to the volunteers because
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: they are amazing, and just for anybody listening, we're always
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: after volunteers. So if you're around on a Sunday morning
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and you want to support us, please that we've got
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: We've got the website, the Regnar Poet Junior part rom
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: email address, or just come and find one of us
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: on a Sunday. You know most of us are there,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and we've got a wassapp group that we've got Now
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: for the volunteers, just to gee up some people. But yeah, yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: big thank you to everybody's volunteered, and if you want
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to volunteer, please come along right excellent.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So now, Tom, if someone listening into this, or someone
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: turned up at the park round last Sunday and they said, oh,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: this is great, this is great, but they don't quite
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: understand he is a free event. But you've only just
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: got to what what have you got to do? Does
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that tell us about barcodes and that sort of thing?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, what the process is.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: You register via the park Run main website, which is
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: part Run dot code dot com, and you you register there,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: you give them your basic details and that generates a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: barcode which you can print off.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: You can have it on your phone. They do all
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: sorts of.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Other tattooed on your left arm or Yeah.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: So once you've got that barcode, you can say it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: a free event, so you can turn up run. At
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the end of the event, we hand out a small barcode,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: which is the finishing position. We have volunteers they're scanning
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and both barcodes get scanned and they get sent up
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: into the into the cloud and the gods up there
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: sort out the results for us and it appears on
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: the website later in the day.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Right, And it's worth noticing that that that barcode isn't
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: just for the folks and junior park Run, is it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: No, that can be used anywhere. That's your individual barcode
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: for any event that you do with part Run.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've just got a word for the parents.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: There are junior park runs around this area. In Kent,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: there's one at Bettsanger on the country Park. There, there's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: one at Ashford Victoria Park, there's one at a park
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in Faversham, and there's one at Herne Bay. So if
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: you're just fancy a little change, perhaps then you might
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: want to go and support another park run and your
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: barcode is valid for that anywhere in the country. In fact,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I've had some seriously interesting venues and sent to me
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: over the years of where people have run park run
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and some countries really have taken to park run. Unfortunately
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in France it doesn't seem to work. And for my
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: experience in running in France, when I used to run
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in France, you always need a doctor's certificate and that
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: was a big oh dear, you know. I used to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: take a crowd of people when I was with Folks
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and Running Club to La Tuque every year and they
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: started really clamping down on the doctor's certificate and for
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of people it was a lot of trouble
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the reasons why there
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: isn't a park run in France, but they are. I've
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: had feedback from from Australia, New Zealand. Oh yeah, there's's
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: quite big in Belgium. A lot of park senior park
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: runners go to Belgium because it's got the park run.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Can never remember it begins with a Z if you're
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: doing the eight of Z park runs, Zuda Kirker or something.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: But park run has become massive and ruyd. You see
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the benefits that you know when the kids are out running,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you know it's getting away from the computers.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: And absolutely yeah, I mean seeing having so many juniors
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: there on a Sunday morning. My favorite position is the
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: finisher lane. As they're coming running down on that last
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: last one hundred meters, you know, we do the warm
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: ups with them because again that's one thing we didn't mention.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: It's different between the Saturday park and the Sunday part run.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: One of the mandatory things we have to do as
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: a warm up, and I've got a silly warm up
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: where I do different animals like cheetas and giraffes and orangutangs.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And as they're running down the finish lane, I love
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: saying to run like Tita. I remember my warm up
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: run like a cheeta and it is it is a
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Sunday morning, it's nine o'clock on a Sunday morning. They're
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: not in front of the TV either, not on their
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: iPads or phones. They're running around Ragna Park.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant. Okay, Tom, anything else from you recovered it?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Any thank you for family and friends, anything the dog,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Budge hear anything?
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I'm just just expanded on what Roy said
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: there is that you know, not only have we got
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: the juniors there running, but we've had a few that
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: have turned fifteen over the course of the year, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: a number of those still come and volunteer with us
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: now on a Sunday mornings. They still get up on
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: a Sunday. They've become part of our volunteer team. They're
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: part of the community there and they're still getting up
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Sunday morning, rain or shining, they're coming to volunteering with.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Us, which is great. Great.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I just want to thank you both for coming in.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: It's been a really enlightening morning. And I hope if
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: there's any parents out there that perhaps haven't I haven't
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: heard a part run. It might be off their radars.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: They were driving by past Radna Park on Sunday morning.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Perhaps if you if you listen to this or to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the podcast when it goes out that you might you
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: want to think about getting your child involved. So a
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: big thank you to you Roy, thank you very much
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: for coming in. And big thanks to you Tom. Thanks. Okay, right,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a bitter song. Now we're going to go play. We've
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: got a bit of a one direction here we go.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I've got five far heart, I'm not scared of the dark.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: You've never seen it, look so lease, I gotta.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: There was a nasty Girl by a notorious big two
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: thousand and five. All a great morning that was with
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the two run directors from the Junior Park Run and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's just you know the enthusiasm of these guys and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: just to make sure that the event goes on properly.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And they've been doing it for a whole year. Now, okay,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: so we're going to really have a job to squeeze
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of sporting, but I'm going to rock on
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and see what happens. So we start with the cricket news. Well,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it was a bright sunny Saturday and I'm pleased to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: say although our local games were completed, folks from First
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: eleven won the toss at home to Bromley Common and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: made a stagger in three hundred and one for eight
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in their fifty overs. Top scorer was Ritra Dande who
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: made one hundred and thirty six and Shahie Maleek with
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: fifty one. Bromley Common put up a good fire and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: made two hundred and fifty all out, but it wasn't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: enough and Folks then won the game by fifty one runs.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: This Saturday, Folks are away to Bickley, which means a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: trip to Bromley in North Kent. Hawkins traveled to Why
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: won of the toss, decided to bat and made two
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine for eight in forty overs. Top
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: scorer once again was a former guest of the show,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Terry Dunham, who made one hundred and twenty six. Why
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: then made one hundred and ninety four all out, so
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Hawkins won the game by sixty five runs, keeping them
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: top of Division eight Shepherd Section. This week they Hawkins
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: are at home to Ash Cricket Club, who are seventh.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Hyde fielded first against Saint Lawrence and Highland Court, who
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: made one hundred and ninety seven all out. I've managed
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy three for seven, but it wasn't
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: enough so lost the game by twenty four runs, but
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it still keeps them in second place, just behind Hawkins.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Now I couldn't find a fixture for Hive this Saturday,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but this may be because there's an odd number of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: teams in this division. Their next game is on the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: twenty sixth to July away to Willsborough. Iive Green traveled
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: away to Kennington, won the toss, chose to bat, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: made one hundred and ninety six for five in their
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: forty overs. Top scorer was Cameron Emmanuel Burns with seventy four. However,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: in what must have been a tense finish, Kennington made sorry.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Iive Green made one hundred and ninety six. Kennington made
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven runs necessary with only a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: couple of balls to spare in their very last over,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: winning the game by five wickets. This week, the Green
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: are at home to Whitstaball. So what made the journey
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to the top of the table and who batted first
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and made two hundred and twenty two all out. Silt
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: would with every batter chipping in, made one hundred and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: sixty six all out. However, it wasn't enough and they
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: lost the game by fifty six runs. This Saturday is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: their terms a visit Kennington. Sipton Park were away to Borstal,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: which meant the trip to Rochester. The SIPs had won
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the toss and decided to bat and made two hundred
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and fifty six for eight. My escorer was Oscar Roberts
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: who made eighty seven not out. They then skittled out
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Borstal for just eighty two runs in all. Jack Wood
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: would take in five wickets for thirty four runs, Harry
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Rowe taking two for twenty one and his dad Steve
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: took one for fourteen, with Miles Clayton also taking a wicket.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So the Sibs won the game by one hundred and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: seventy four runs. Mind you. To be fair, Tom Curry
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: took three wickets for Borstal and Mohammad Azar took four.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: This Saturday, the Sibs are at home to Upchurch and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the SIPs are currently fourth in Division five. Hurrican Section
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and Upchurch are second. So it's going to be a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: close game and at the moment, I think the weather
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: forecast looks okay, but it's been a bit changeable just lately,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: so we're hoping that we can get another full set
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of games in right. I'm going to move on to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the Friday mixed hockey results. On Friday night the Mixed
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: league we had Canterbury Reds one, Herne Bay three, Ops,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Blues was six and a Deal was three. Ashford Sharks
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Neil Hulkan four Ops White Team Neil Kent Place.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Four.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Fixtures for this Friday are Ashford Tigers versus Cliftonville, Herne
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Bay versus Maidstone, Maystone, Iguana, Dons Deal versus Canterbury Red
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and the Ops under twenty ones are playing South Saxon's. Okay,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: so we're going to play Robbie Williams. We might cut
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: this a bit short of just see how at sport
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I've got left to to get in. So let's sitt
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: back and listen to a bit of Angels.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: A certain way design Angel.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I'm no angels, a.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Bit of Robbie There Angels nineteen ninety seven. Okay, swiftly
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: moving on, moving on from our junior part run guests.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Now the folks that I went up to the Folkston
• 29:21

• 29:24
  Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy seven runners. The winner was a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: tourist Joseph Farrelly from Manchester Harriers in seventeen minutes twenty
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: four seconds. Now. During the run, Joseph was neck and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: neck most of the way round with sang Rag Array,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: but Joseph pulled away and won with a twenty second margin. However,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: sang Ram did achieve a PB. The third place runner
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: was Alex Verrees from a club I hadn't heard of before,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: West four Harriers, but when I looked them up, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: found that they came from Chiswick in West London and
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: West four is part of their postcode which is W
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: four to SP so that was anyway. Scrolling down the results,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I found that whenner Joseph Farreley must have been down
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: this way, possibly on holiday with his family, because I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: noticed a Tom, a Lindsay and a Philip Farreley, also
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: from Manchester, so a big folks in part run Welcome
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: goes out to the Farreley family. And whilst on the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: subject of park run tourists, it's time to see where
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: our folks and park runners headed off for their Saturday
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: morning nine am park run fix. I've been doing this
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: feature recently of where our local runners go to find
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: a park run, and last Saturday Will there was the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: usual suspects were visited. That's Ashford Maidstone Warmer Deal which
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: is one park run Warmer Deal. Heading further afield, there
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: was Beachbury which is sort of out towards Tembridge wells Way.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Now there was one called Ifield a Mill Pond which
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is in Crawley, which is a seventy five mild trip.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: There's two Rushmore Park Run in Aldershot and Jersey Farm
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Park Run near Snall are both about one hundred miles away.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: One of our local runners went to Sandringham in the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Royal Parks in Norfolk which is one hundred and sixty
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: seven miles away, and the furthest away was it's a
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: park run called Nova Prestatin which is in North Wales
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: which is three hundred and thirty miles away. So well
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: done to all our local park runners for being tourists
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and visiting other venues. Now, last Sunday was one of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the flattest ten k's on the calendar down at New Romney.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: The race was organized by a Rotary Club of Romney
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Marsh with chip timing compiled by a race event company
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and Nice Work, and the elevation of the course was
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: just eight meters It's only twenty six feet so not
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: like Eastbourne and rabigy Head, so it was a perfect
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: chance for a PB. First running home on the day
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: was Dan Bradley from Tunbridge AC in a time of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: thirty three minutes four seconds. Twenty two folks and runners
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: running took part and the first home for the club
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: was Nick Steel at thirty six minutes twenty seconds. Notable
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: performances came from Paul Barlett, who ran at eight second
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: PB and came third in his age category. Crystal Clitzier
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: was first in the Vet sixty category and teammate Torbyn
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Jessen was second in the same category. Debbie Partmenter was
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: first in the Vet female sixty category and special mentions
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: must go to the Slingsby brothers. The older brother Guy
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was first junior male home in the ten k and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: his younger brother Hugo finished second in the junior race,

  Speaker 1: club was Ian Major in forty three minutes fifteen seconds
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and first female was Jenny spi Lane in fifty two

  Speaker 1: minutes exactly, so a good turnout there from our local runners.

  Speaker 1: Down at New Romney, not far to go for them.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: So what a good day they all had, right, So
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: what we got now? I think we're going to play
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit of lightning seeds. We might be able
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to just might have cut this short just a little bit,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: but so further ado, this is the life of rileygh Okay,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to fade that down a little bit because
