really thrilled. Following the athletics at home is her chhldhood | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
coach Tony White. He knew b`ck then she would be a star. As a tdenager, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
she was beating the boys and girls in older age groups. Now at 40, | :05:24. | :05:30. | |

just ran the last lap the speed she did and ran away from girls half her | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
age. It doesn't make could just do that to youngsters | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
like that. I mean, and the girl that to win it. So, that was absolutely | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
marvellous, in past, but gold in the Europdan | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Championships funny really to try for so lany | :06:03. | :06:10. | |

saw him in a minute ago, of course, you're 95% blind but still coaching | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
here, and a BBC unsung hero. You were training Jo hn her | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
teenage years. You knew she would be a star, didn't you? Yeah, as soon as | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the young coach that had her 11, 12`year`old and he brought her | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
to me. And he said, he thought I had more knowledge to take Jo. He said, | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
I can't deal with her, somebody more experienced to put her | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
on the right lines. I took her from then onwards. She was 13. After you | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
good for her age group and for the girls. That's right. | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
say, what are we doing having a 13`year`old in with us? | :07:33. | :07:47. | |
14, I had to put her with the under 17 boys. She was just too good. Just | :07:48. | :08:05. | |
that enables her to do this at 0 and a mother of two as well? | :08:06. | :08:22. | |

from somebody in the university of ill temper on his part and of his | :10:14. | :10:19. | |

We sent our reporter Heidi Davey along to Westpoint to have ` go | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
When I came into work today, this wasn't one of the jobs I thought I'd | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
end up doing. I have my gloves on, my safety glasses and my apron and | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Don is here to teach me all I need to know. What's the plan? | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
what we're going to do, I'vd heard you need a coat | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
coat at home, so the mission is we convert this iron here | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
finished item there. We havd to make that into a square? Square. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
sounds simple enough, but I'm not sure it is. Straight | :20:16. | :20:22. | |

over the end. Hit it. I sneaky break from my masterclass | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
with Don to see what else happening around the show. Ht wasn't | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
long before we came across the contingent. There's not manx big | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
festivals like this. So, currently studying, but it's a | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
really important might be a profession you think you | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
associate with male. But at the festival there are | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
several ladies it's done. Wendy is one of them | :21:00. | :21:05. | |

ready for round two of a pyrotechnic battle in the skies off Plylouth's | :21:57. | :21:58. | |

is serious competition. Hundred s of kilograms of explosives battling it | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
out to find a winner. Some of these fireworks are home grown. Not that | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
you'd want to attempt this hn the back garden. The crowds havd | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
gathered in their thousands. Up until now they've been eating and | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
drinking. We've heard them laughing and joking. Now the only two sounds | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
emerging are oohhh and aahhh. If you look in the air you can see why A | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
