First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
...:
We now go over to Jane, who has details of events in town this weekend.
...:
First, here's some retail news.
...:
You may wonder whether Bradcaster really needs another sports shop.
...:
Many listeners will already know Sports World, the branch of an international sports goods company from Denmark, which opened here several years ago.
...:
It has been very successful, so the company is opening a second branch locally.
...:
The new store will be in the shopping centre west of Bradcaster.
...:
That will be welcome news for anyone who has found the original shop, in the north of town, inconvenient to reach.
...:
I attended a preview and it really is an impressive sports store.
...:
The interior has a simple modern design in the company's usual black and red.
...:
Floors 1 to 3 stock an enormous selection of sports clothing as well as equipment.
...:
The top floor contains a café and a section for books and DVDs.
...:
Both famous brands and less familiar ones are available.
...:
If an item is not in stock, the store promises to obtain it within 10 days.
...:
At the older branch, the same service can take as long as 14 days.
...:
All the main sports are covered, including football, tennis and swimming, but the shop's particular speciality is running, and it claims to offer the country's broadest range of related equipment.
...:
In addition, an entire section on the third floor sells nothing but sports bags, including the newest American designs.
...:
The choice is extremely wide.
...:
Before you hear the next part of the broadcast, you have some time to look at questions 17 and 20.
...:
Now listen and answer questions 17 and 20.
...:
The doors open at 9 o'clock this Saturday.
...:
At the launch, visitors can meet Paul King, the National 400 Meters Champion, who will formally open the store.
...:
He will remain there until around midday to speak to fans and sign autographs.
...:
Special activities will continue throughout the weekend.
...:
The first 50 customers will receive free tickets to local sports events, and everyone can enter a competition.
...:
Get 15 of the 20 sports questions right, and you win a signed copy of Paul King's DVD, Spring Tips.
...:
The first entrant to answer every question correctly will receive a year's membership of Bradcaster Gym.
...:
Every participant will also get a sports calendar, listing Bradcaster fixtures for the coming year.
...:
Another launch offer is a fitness test.
...:
Qualified staff will assess both your heart fitness and muscle tone inside the shop.
...:
The normal fee is £30, but for this month it has been reduced by half.
...:
Places are limited, so you must book in advance by calling 560341.
...:
Customers who open an account will receive further offers, including invitations to try equipment at special evening sessions.
...:
That is the end of Part 2.
