Seems the elf who's 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: tasked with bringing together is Christmas Carol John's home. Morning morning. 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: Have you seen the forecast? 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: Yes, it's looking good. 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: Oh not on every piece of what I can find. 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: It's magic. So we'll all go what do we need 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: to know? 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: Twelve? The market Day starts at teen by the paddling Pole, 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: so you can come along around the market day, have 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: something date, the kids can blow off some steam. There's 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: going to be bound to castles, inflatables, jeeps and the 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: Merry go round, so come along early. 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: Do that. 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 2: Then the prey starts at twelve thirty. We start at 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: the top end of oak growth. Now, first off the 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: cab this year is the Cabs and Coffee Car Club, 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: So because they can't go too slow they overheat, I'm 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: putting them off first. So there'll be a display of 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: muscle cars and you know their cars, and then the 22 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: pipe band will kick in to gear and the parade 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: will start. So I'm thinking this year, find yourself a 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: good spot in the shade because I think it's going 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: to probably be about a two hour or do you 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah said. 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: That biggest ever, how incredible is that too? 28 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: Have the Yeah? 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: Great to have all that shade down worn out, ev 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: so we don't overheat. Have you got the characters back 31 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: as well, Carol? 32 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: You know, still looking for volunteers. So if anyone has 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: some free time and they want to come down and 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: find the kiddie train, you know between half us even 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: cord to twelve, we'll put you on a costume and 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: send you on out. So it's a bit of a 37 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: mission trying to get volunteers, but I have been an 38 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: to drag them out of the crowd. 39 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: So the world as a way. Yeah, yeah, so someone's 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: going to be the Smurfs. Hey, you mentioned the Knotty Train, 41 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: so that's back in action. That's been given some some 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: major surgery. Yeah. 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: Well the old one, the Chessy, had rusted out and 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: I had it certified, but I knew it was not 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: going to do another one. So last year, with the 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: money I got from the events people at the market day, 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: I bought a donor car and it's been a mission. 48 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: So we have totally rebuilt it, but hearts of it 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: are actually still the Old are the Old Kiddy Train. 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Okay, that's a bit of a hybrid of old and new. 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's making its debut tomorrow, and yeah, I'm 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: pretty proud of it actually, Yeah, so it should last 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: another fifty years. It's an each Berton icon like people 54 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: just you know, they just love it and I just 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: need to curb my enthusiasm because yeah, I thought it 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: wouldst maybe five Poundsn't it maybe cost about ten? 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Or the kids do appreciate your commitment. So the parade itself, 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: this year's theme, unwrapping the Joy of Christmas is picked 59 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 1: by last year's when it's Phoenix Pre School. Are they 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: back to try and defend their title? 61 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely nice? 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: And who's got the steep responsibility of judging James Amiga, Oh, 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: don't envy his job. 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: He did it last year, so he's back again to 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: do it this year. So yeah, that takes a bit 66 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: of responsibility off me. And it's impartial. So it's a 67 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: pretty wide open thing actually, because the joy of Christmas 68 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: to people is different. So yeah, I'm picking it's going 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: to be very varied. 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing all of that festive 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: glory on display.
