00:02
Thank you so much, thank you so much.
00:05
There we are as they make their way off.
00:08
I'm about to introduce to you the person who is going to be starting this room this year.
00:15
Please welcome on stage our former chairman of community council here in Sordersvedt,
00:22
Mr. Martin Williams. Give him a nice big round of applause.
00:27
Martin, do you know what? It never ceases to amaze me.
00:32
You said, I made a speech for you at St. Brides back in the summer for the presentation night
00:38
when it was announced that you were retiring from the swim along with Stephen, your son.
00:44
Stephen is over there flapping like a chicken during the timing and you are here
00:50
constantly badgering me every time saying you can't leave it alone, love.
00:55
No, but it's the village. It's all about the village.
01:00
Chris is taking over. He's done a phenomenal job.
01:03
Everybody, his new committee are up and running, outstanding.
01:09
Martin, you've been doing this for 39 years. Does it ruin your Christmas or do you look forward to it?
01:16
I can hear that.
01:18
Oh, okay. It doesn't matter. Mr. Martin, you were a former school teacher, weren't you?
01:22
Yes.
01:24
And what did you teach?
01:26
Maths.
01:27
Okay. So 14 times 9.
01:30
Oh, too late.
01:32
Too late. Oh, dear me. He didn't like that, did he?
01:35
Anyway, listen, give Martin a nice big round of applause
01:39
because he's going to start the swim with a countdown and a wave of the flag.
01:45
Now, looking at the crowd here, this is the biggest I have ever seen in my 30 years of campaigning.
01:56
Yeah, you should clap yourself. You really should.
02:01
It is just, where I'm standing, it's phenomenal. I've never seen anything like it.
02:07
And it goes right back into the back of the village.
02:10
Anyway, I hope you have a good day today. All the pubs will be open, of course.
02:15
If you fancy a bit of a disco, I'll be doing a disco over the sports club later on this afternoon.
02:22
All the 70s, 80s, 90s, I'll be doing that. That's at the sports club.
02:27
Right, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I think it's almost nearly half past.
02:36
Gentlemen, we are seconds away.
02:41

03:12
Ladies and gentlemen, here comes the countdown.
03:15
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
