• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you've started. You've started some new classes for ladies. But
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: before we do that, just tell us a little bit
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: about yourself. Hey, you got involved with the boxing club.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, back in well, two thousand and five. I first
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: started going to the club when it was at Mary's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Social Club, so uptover road, just start the road from here,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and it was just the ladies' classes, so getting involved
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: with that, bring a few friends along, and I just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: found it just so much fun and you know, really
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: good vibe about the whole thing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It was just so you joined it just as a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: as a student guest or what if you like.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, just coming in and trying something different because
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I was weightlifting at the time quite a lot and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: fancied something yeah, a little bit different fitness wise, so
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it went along. It absolutely obliterated me the first But
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that's quite addictive, yeah, because you think, do you know what,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there's something that makes it progressive and a little bit
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: out of reach. Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And were there many at the classes in those days?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: In those days there was only about six to eight ladies. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: it was quite new in introder like ladies sessions basically. Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but it was a lot of fun.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Good. Well, I'll tell you what this is going back
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a bit. I mean I've involved with Barry and the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: boxing club. Oh, I can't remember how many years, And
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I think these things go in cycles, because at one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: point I had a guest in and she was a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: female boxer and she used to do the boxer size
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: ups at Mary's and there was loads of them. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: actually went up there one night for training, not to train,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but I took my little voice recorder and they recorded
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a few interviews and yeah, there was some real action
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: going on. So you did that for a while. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: what was the next stage in your sort of boxing development.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I had a break for a little while I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: had my son and then realized I really needed to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: get back into fitness again. Kind of got a little
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: bit bored, I know, shouldn't say that of weight training.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: As you do you go and fits and starts, and thought, no,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to head back to the club, see if
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it's still about, see what's going on. And I walked
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in there and well, there were so many ladies. It
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: was just packed this place. And it was the summer
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: so it was really warm.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It was an old were you still up up the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hill there? Yeah?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so it's an old spitting swordust boxing gym.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: But what we all knew and loved about it, and yeah,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it kind of up that fitness level again because you
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: got these ladies in there then that were like really
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: really up in their game and made you push yourself.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It really did, to the point where I was going
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on runs, I was taking up the rope in the garden,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I was doing all this.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh god. So so then the boxing club moves,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: didn't it? So did you? Did you follow it? Or
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: did you have another little break?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: No? No, followed down there and our knew air conditioned
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: sight bigger as well, bigger, and yeah, yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Did the ladies follow you as well? Did the ladies
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: follow it down?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: They followed the club down? And yeah again new members
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: come in and go in all the time, but still
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: like really really busy evenings.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, oh excellent. And at this at this
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: point where you still just like a student, now you've
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: turned your hand to a teacher. Nevern't year.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. At this point I was just still going,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: still up in my fitness game, getting quite into nutrition
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: at that point, really really interested. And then I saw
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: an advertisement come up. Funny enough, lot of word of
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: mouth through the club, but on Facebook, and I thought,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm just going to put my name
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: out there. I'm just going to see because I do
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: quite fancy doing that, and yeah, Harry got back to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: me and I started my training.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Right. What levels did you have to do to start
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: your training or did you have to get a coaching
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: badge of some description?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, you had to do a certain amount of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: voluntary work with there, which the evenings are voluntary for
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: us all. And yeah, I to go for my level one.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So that was a bit of written and a bit
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of practical and all that sort of thing. Had this
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: guy come down from London from like the army boxing
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: kind of sector and he trained us, and yeah, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: was really quite proud to have done that many a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: year later with my level two.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Right, do you have to take an exam or some
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sort of.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to do like a written exam, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: have to do a practical exam all on the day.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So the practical exam does that test your fitness or
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the kind of knowledge of what you've got to do.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit of both, but more on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: knowledge side. To make sure you're safe, to make sure
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that you are taking care of people who come in
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: there and doing things correctly.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, because you don't want to teach some
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the wrong thing, do you. Okay, we're going to take
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a little break.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I've been looking for some songs that in the playlist
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that are related to boxing. Now I've come across this one,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and I must admit I haven't heard it. It was
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it was brought out in night. No, I haven't heard
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it for a long time, to be fair, it was.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It came out in a nineteen eighty three and this
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is Joe Boxers and a Boxer Beata and we'll be
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: doing the so from nineteen eighty three Boxer Beats and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Cash been prancing up and down the studio knocking it
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: out at me on that one. I've got bruises all
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: over the place, right, Okay, moving on now, okay, if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you want to bring people's attention to your classes, so
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: really I'm going to hand it over to you until
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the names of the classes that you're running, and then
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we can go through them and you can tell me
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: all about them one at a time. So, awhere you go.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: What's first?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Right? Yes, Well, basically tomorrow we have nine am kind
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: of get it all out of the basement class. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this is based on the fact that everyone works differently. Now,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it's not just a nine to five world, is it anymore?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: People work from home. They do different shifts, and I thought,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: bring something to the club that is for people who
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: don't have the opportunity to come of an evening. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: by the time you get to Friday, quite a lot
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: of us suffering from a little bit of stress need
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to come down there, get rid of some of it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Do it with fitness release those good in dolphins. I mean,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I get everything out, so we get the battle, ropes out, ladders,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: all of it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Right, So it's basically a fitness class ladies only.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: No, it's mixed.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It's mixed.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, time to have a bit of
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a go at the bag, right, said if anyone else
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: around you.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So that's on a Friday from nine nine till when
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: nine till ten, nine till ten, So that's an hour.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So and tell us whereabouts that is taking place?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yep, So that's f fifty one on ton Time Street
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: at our boxing club there.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so you're not the club is no longer
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: anything to do with the El Saint Mary's Social Club,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is it. No, it's completely completely moved out. Yeah. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: remember being at the opening day of f fifty one.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I came along and so I do remember having to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: look around, and I've been back a couple of times.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: So if you're thinking whereabouts and you drive by it,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the sign is still there, but
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: there was used to be a big board outside the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: social club. Don't go in there. Come down to the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: top of ton Time Street, the f fifty one. Okay,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: so that what do you call that club?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's kind of a get it all out of the basement.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Get it all out of basement cloud? Right, and what
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: else have you got? What else do you do?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Right? Okay? Well, I'm working on a Wednesday fitness for lunch.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: So basically that's on the basis that people in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: area sometimes again don't get that kind of time or
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: they only have the time before school pick up and think,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you know what can I fit in? Once I hit
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this hamster wheel when the kids go out of school,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I can't do anything else. Yeah, come down. So that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: session is more based around shadow boxing and abdominals, so
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: getting a bit of cardio, getting a bit of ad
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: work all over body, kind of Calisenics weightlifting.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, So have you got a different levels that we
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Supposing someone hears this tomorrow and thinks, you know, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: want to I want to want to have a go
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: next Wednesday. But do you have to have a chat
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: with them to say, well, look, you know, how is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: your fitness? What have you done so far? Because you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't want them to what can I says them too
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: much on the first week and then they don't come back.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Assessment That is the word I was looking for. Assessment.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well basically what I'll do is when anyone
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: comes in, all I say basically, you know, work at
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: your own pace. You know your body, you know how
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you feel. If there's any health ailments, anything to do
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: with your physical fitness, you need to tell me. Obviously
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that's something I'll need to know. But go at your
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: own pace. You do what you can because it's all
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: about progression. It's all I want is for people to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: get fitter using styles within the boxing fitness realm. That's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: basically what the daytimes are all about.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: So I've still got another couple of items down here,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: but I want you to tell me what else you've
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: got up your sleeve.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Gone, okay, Well another idea I had was about the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: shred club that they have in f fifty one. All
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: parents will know about this. I expect it's a small fee,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: really small fee they pay for the entire year for
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: their kids to go there on school times after I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: think it's up till about six o'clock something like that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm offering parents time to come in and have
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: their time. I mean, why sit there and write the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: shopping list, you know, go and get the food, clean
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the house. I mean, that's something you know, set aside,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: so that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: There's a shred club. And what you're trying to do.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Trying to do is encourage the parents that bring the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: children to the shread club instead of going home, come
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and do some exercise in a gym.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come in and you know, bring a friend, bring
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: a partner and whatever suits or if you want to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: come on your own, you want your own headspace understandable. Yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: come in and we'll do some fitness. Will help you
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: feel better.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And what do you know what time this shread club is?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I believe it's from four until about six, four to six,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm aiming for a Thursday.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Aiming for a Thursday. Okay, Well, we'll recap all these
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: before we go, so in case you're writing them down.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: But the one I'm looking forward to is the next one,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: which is the I've got down here girls boxing fitness.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, we've started as of late last year a
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: girl's class from five till six within folks and amateur boxing,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and the class is slowly growing. We've got a really
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: really cool set of girls that are in there, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: we're always looking to have more. We're always looking to have,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you know, more girls in the town thinking, do you
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: know what I've seen fran Hennessy, I've seen Katie Taylor,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I've seen all these people. I really want to ever
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: go at that. I want to ever go at that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And you know, when I was a girl, there wasn't
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: anything like this around and I would absolutely loved it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So just reach out and get in touch with us.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. So the other three classes are basically fitness. Have
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I got this right? But this one is erring onto
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the side of sort of boxing training. Is that right?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: It is? It is? And obviously if they want to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: do more technique than what's within my class, because there
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: only been me there on that one, you know, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: come to our other classes to improve and get fitter
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and learn more about boxing teen technique because there's a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: lot more of US coaches on the other classes. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: it's a great starting base for.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Girls who want to YEA. And so when when's this
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: take place?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: That's on a Wednesday five till.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Six, Wednesday five to six, So we're going to recap
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all these before we go. So, well, that's the four
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that I've got down. Is there anything else you've got
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: up your sleeve that you want to tell us about?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Not really? Well? Yeah, I mean, you know, if anyone
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: also wants to come in the club on an afternoon
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and doesn't fancy a
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: class situation and thinks, do you know what, I want
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to come down just with this friend or just with
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: this small group of friends and train can you fit
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: me in? Can we do it once or twice a week?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And the answer is yes, Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Something do you need? Do you need to have somebody experienced?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: If a group of half a dozen lads who you
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: know they've perhaps been there before, do they need to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: be supervised or have someone around or can they just
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: go go in and you know, sign out the equipment
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and do it on their own?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: They were a better do it on their own.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: No, that's what I mean.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, only with one of us, right, that's only with
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it's got to be one of the qualified coaches there, right, Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: So if they wanted to come down, they just reach
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: out to us basically, right and yeah, come along.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Great, Okay, we're gonna have another little break. Then we're
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: gonna come back and we're going to recap some of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: these things and we're going to find out if there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: anything else that CAF has left out or wants to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: tell us. So this is another song. There's only two
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: songs in the playlist I could find about boxing, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: this is a classic one from nineteen sixty nine, Simon
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a Gulf Uncle with the boxer I Am just a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: poor boy, or my story is seldom tall live f
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Li Resistance, going back in time to nineteen sixty nine.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go a fund called the Boxer. So, okay, Kath,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the time is racking on. I've got lots of other
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: sports to do, but I don't want to get rid
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of you without recapping some of the very important things
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about. So let's first of all, before
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: we go on to recap the times and stuff like that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, the club. The boxing club has been going
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a long time, and I've known the guys up there
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: for a number of years. But I think we need
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to reassure that the parents of people of the children
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that might be coming in that there's things like you've
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: been we've been talking off here, that you've been first
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: ay trained. That's very important, isn't it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very important. All of us down there are
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: safeguard training and first aid.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so safeguarding is really every club now that sort
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: of comes through the door, has to have a safeguarding officer,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. So you're looking out for the welfare of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the children and you know, you can perhaps see some
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: things that perhaps the parents can't see, but we you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you've got a duty of care to these kids. So
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that kind of goes with every club now, which is
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: nice to know that the boxing club have got that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in place. So parents, if you're thinking of, you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sending your child down there, and we do know also
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that all these guys have been a first day train
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: which is most important. So let's recap. We start with
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the fitness for lunch.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: When's that Okay, Well, that is something I want to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: run from Wednesday and yeah, basically anyone who cannot fit
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: for what time anywhere else?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: You say lunch. I mean, some people might have a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: long lunch one.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: O'clock, but if I get more people in the time
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: frame of thinking, well, two o'clock would be better for me,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: and that's absolutely fine.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that's fitness for lunch. I've got here the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Friday basement clear out. When does that happen?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: That's nine o'clock on a Friday morning.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, And the next one I've got is, well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: we're pretty sure about the times on this. There's a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: shred club that goes on up at f fifty one.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So what is the shred club that you're trying to promote?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, So while the children are upstairs skating or you know,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: BMX in whatever they're doing up there, then the parents
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: could come down to me and get a fitness session.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: In, right, So that's when is that?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: That's about four till six roughly on a Thursday.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Four till six on a Thursday. And the one for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the girls boxing fitness. First of all, the age group,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: what ages are they?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm aiming at age thirteen to seventeen. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: because age seventeen upwards is our seniors sort of thing,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and you going to the ladies. Yeah, and when's they
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: That's on a Wednesday right now.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I mean people won't remember all that, I'm sure, but
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: if you're listening driving in your car and you think
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I want to find out more about that when I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: get home, how can they get some sort of visual
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: information on all these classes? Right?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Okay? So you can contact me directly on my Facebook
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: if you like Kathy Smith, or you know through Folks
• 20:23

  Speaker 2: Yeah, we will work together as a team right there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So that yeah, and I will point out, because I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: did find this out that's myself this morning, that there
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are actually two Facebook pages. One is the Folks and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Amateur Boxing Club, but there's also a Facebook page which
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is a bit more up to date. It's the Folks
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: just Folks and Boxing Club, and that's the one with
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: all the pictures of all the classes. So look for
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that now before we go. keV. I always think this
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: is really important because get where you are, you had
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to have help. And first of all, is there any
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: hellos you want to say hello to? Have you got
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: back the dog at home or a budget or anything
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: anyone like that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, just say hello to my other after Steve Smith,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: who's listening. Yeah and yeah to get me where I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: am today. Basically, I wouldn't be doing this without the club,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: without folks and them to boxing, without the you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the coaches there. They are really amazing giving people. So
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: say thank you to Harry Slater, to Barry, to Dean
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to Pull to everyone there. Really Yeah, very supportive, bunch.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Good, excellent. It's good to hear it, and it's good
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to hear that the boxing club is still thriving. I mean,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: certainly the Alt Mary's the club was, I think it's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a dover road social club was a bit spit and sawdust.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: But it's kind of a coming to the twenty first
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: century now down at the fifty one. But it's good
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to see that the you know, the youngsters are still
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: coming in and it's not all about boxing. I think
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the point we didn't make it is about fitness and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: discipline as well, isn't it. So that's really important, isn't it. Yeah?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: It is, and you know it can be a really
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: good stress release. You know, boxing has been proven to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: be good for your mental health, you know, the fitness
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: behind it, confidence, all the things really, you know, so
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: anyone you know, feeling very little self worth. You know,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: if you're getting yourself into fitness, come to one of
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the clubs. You know it will do you the world
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: of good. It really will.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, Cap, thanks for coming in. It's been so interesting
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in talking to you, and it's like a breath of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: fresh air. Actually, it's good to see that, you know.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I love it when coaches that are relatively new to
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the sport come in and you're trying something different. You're
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: trying to generate interest and get the kids doing stuff.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Get them off the computers, get them off the older
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: phones and things like that, and get out do they
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: can't be a bit of exercise and like you say,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: working off a bit of Kathy. Thanks for so.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Much, Thank you, thank you very much.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, we're going to move on now. Last week,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: if you remember, it was Race for Life, and I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: tried to find lots of songs with the word life
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: in it. Well, I was going to play this one
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: last week, so I'm going to play it today. This
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is Rony Keaton and life is a roller coaster. That's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Rona Keaton there and I'm just going to fade him
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: down a little bit because that interview with Kath went on.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I don't mean that nastily. It did go on because
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it was so interesting, That's what I meant. And it
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: often happens. The clock just runs away with us. So
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I've got some other sports I want to want to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: squeeze in, but this certainly won't take long. The cricket,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So let's go to last Sada's cricket results. There's no
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: results at all to read out because there was all
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: washed away. It was all abandoned due to the rain.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So no games for Folkston, Hawkins, High Hive Green, Saltwood
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and Sipton Park. But now as I speak it looks
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a bit brighter for Saturday. So here's a list of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the fixtures we've got. The Folks and first eleven are
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: at home to Canterbury. First eleven Hawkins are a way
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to Sherwood the Cricket Club, which means a trip to
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: a Rochester Hi Ever at home to Faversham. Hive Green
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: are away to Warmer Second eleven. Saltwood First eleven are
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: at home to tenterd and second eleven and Sipton Park
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: are at home to Warmer first eleven, so let's really
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: hope that everything goes all right this Saturday. I expect
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the guys are busting to get out there and get
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that leather on willow and a bit of sunshine at
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Now, I was on the mic at Cancer
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Research UK's Race for Life on the Leaves on Sunday
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: with the rain stayed away, but it was chilly and windy.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Nine hundred runners too. Part it's always a I don't know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it's always a happy sad day really, you know, it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: happy having a bit of fun. Then we have a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: moment's reflection and sadness. But then we turn it around
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and we get the Joe the warm up. Lady Joe
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: once again she did a warm up which was really
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: really popular. All the fellas were joining in as well,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and the event raised a staggering one hundred and fifteen
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: thousand pounds towards the cause and when announced, it raised
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a deafening cheer. Now, I asked the audience, who's there
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: for the first time? And many many runners put their
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: hands up, and I'm sure that they want to come back.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's lovely to see so many friends and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: cancer survivors, you know, back doing a run and former
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: guest of the show, Jay Hopkins was there. She's also
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a cancer survivor. We followed her story. If you remember,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: she came in with three of her lads and they
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: all did a skydive. That was amazing time that was
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: but she just felt that she had to come back
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and do it, you know. So I want to thank
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Sarah Jane winding the event, a manager, for putting it
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: all together. That really is a stressful job, especially on
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the day. Try and talk to her. She's always on
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the phone, always on the radio, internal mike, and she
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: does such a good job. I want to thank all
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the volunteers that came along. Couldn't have done it without you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of police cadets there. They do it
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: because they have to do certain work in the community,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: so they came along. They were very good, giving out medals,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: giving out water. I want to thank two elite cyclists.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I want to thank Adam. He did bring another guy along.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I can't remember his name. I do apologize, so Adam
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and your friend. And we want to thank the pacers.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They had them fifty sixty and seventy minute pacers. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: want to thank Vicky, Paul and Tanya all came together
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on the day and that's what it's all about. Right.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: We try and play a little bit of this one.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: This is another song with the word life in it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: As we were talking about Race for Life. This is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Desiree and Life nineteen ninety eight to Desiree and Life.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Staying with the theme of life, they are Race for Life.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Last week, okay, moving swiftly on now last Sunday after
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Race for Life. Actually when it was finished, I got
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: home at a quick shower and I was off to
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the Master Brewer where I was a quiz master. Now
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Martin and Rachel Murray plus joining Eve Morton, have entered
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a team of four for a challenge in an event
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: called Race the Sun. It's taking place on the eleventh
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: July this year in the Cheddar Gulge region, which is
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: just south of Bristol. Their challenge is to bike ride
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: thirty two miles through the iconic Cheddar Gorge, then a
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: nine mile hike above the gorge and beyond, and to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: finish off, the four of them will jump into a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: four man kayak and paddle two miles along the sparkling
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: calm waters of the Cheddar Reservoir and the Marti reckons
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: it could take them eight or nine hours, so basically
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a whole day shift. And when I asked them about
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the kayak, I said, if you've done any kayak, any
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: sort of training, note you see, we'll just give it
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a go on the day. Now, the four of them
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: have had to raise two thousand pounds for a charity
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: called Action and Medical Research. It's a charity that funds
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: research to prevent and treat disease and disability in babies
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and children. So what a brilliant cause that's for. So
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: onto the quiz. Now there was a great happy, noisy
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: atmosphere as families could bring their children along and they
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: were kept busy in a mini quiz which involved color
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: in word searches and similar sort of things. And it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was a nice afternoon. As it was a nice afternoon,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: it was nice and sunny, they could go out the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: back and run around. There was eleven tables taking part
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: with seven rounds of various questions and a music bing
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: go round and it was nice to see a blend
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: of young and old people taking part. As a chrismaster,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the volume normally gets turned up round about half time.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It starts to get louder. It seems to be the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: normal trait we quizes, and I was kind of expecting it,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: so yeah, the volumer to go up. But there was
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a great crowd and the afternoon produced at four hundred
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and twenty pound. Now that is added to the twelve
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: hundred pound they've already raised towards their target of two thousand,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: So we wish them well on the eleventh of July.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know it might come off. We've got some
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: busy Saturdays coming up. But what I'd like to do
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: is try and get all four of them in and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to recap that day and tell us how it went.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: So good luck to you a lot for the eleventh
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: of July. Now, last Saturday, Saturday in the afternoon, down
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to the folks at Rugby Club for their very first
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: celebration day. Now, the idea was to bring all members
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of the club together as coaches, spectators, male and female players,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: youth team players, management, plus former players in fact, anybody
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that's been involved with the club in the present and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the past. It was a drizzly afternoon and when I
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: turned up there was a touch rugby tournament in full flow.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: And what I did notice, which is a real really
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: good thing, was that there were teams of mixed seniors
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and juniors playing together against other teams of mixed seniors
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and juniors. There was teams of ladies out there, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the final was between the JVK Stupid Boys and the Superheroes,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: with the Stupid Boys winning the kids in cup. Now
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I charted to the men's captain, Callum Guy, the ladies
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: captain Shelley Osborne, and Director of Junior Rugby Lee Fichi,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: with the intention of trying to get them all in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: on a Saturday morning and if they can just recap
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the whole season, I really need to get him in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: before the season starts again, and then I would have
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: lost them. Now, the day was a huge success and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it was brought all the participants of the club together
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and it was like a big community type of day
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and the town of folks that must be very proud
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of this very active club that looks after seniors and
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: juniors who love to play rugby. Right, so we're going
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to squeeze another little song in then. Now I'll tell
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you I'm going to do. I'm going to do a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: bit more talking, because I do want to get this
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in now. Yesterday I saw myself, along with Andy found
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and Jane Hatton of the Ashford Striders visit the studios
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: of Radio Ashford to catch up with my old radio
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: buddy John Webbo Webster. Now the reason for the visit
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: was to promote the Striders and chat about Friday. That's
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: tomorrow's charing ten k Now there's two races. The senior
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: race starts at seven o'clock with a fun run at
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: six point fifteen. For further information, visit the race event
• 31:58
