Another sell-out, all-ticket audience gathered at Petersfield Festival Hall on 16

April for the third Life in Petersfield Business and Community Awards. The rugby club’s glittering night started when the Sports Award went to Fiona Pocock, the England women’s international rugby player, who learned the game at Petersfield RFC . She paid tribute to Nick Todd who was highly commended in the same category.

The field gun run for charity last year by the rugby club mixed age team won in the Event of the Year category. This was selected by the audience who voted on the night from a short list of three. Finally, rugby stalwart Stuart Barden, a

leading light in junior rugby in the town, was chosen by the panel of independent judges as winner of the blue riband event, the Personality of the Year.

There were 15 different award categories, each individually sponsored, while Kebbell Homes, who were represented on the evening by Nick Kebbell, were the overall sponsors.

One of the biggest cheers of the night was for Petersfield Primary School teacher Charlotte Stephenson who was the Teacher of the Year. And there was a warm reception for adventurer Tom Heal, from Nyewood, who has recently broken the world record for the youngest person to row an ocean together with his schoolfriend Will Smith.

The audience were treated to a video interview with Ben Southall, who gained a worldwide reputation when he won “The Best Job in the World” last year for Queensland Tourist Authority as catertaker

of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef. He recounted some the highlights of his adventures and his plans for the coming year – he is now global ambassador for Queensland. He had kept an eye on the town through the

Petersfield web cam and said that he missed the fun of the snow.

Dance, who took part in the UK national dance finals at Sadler’s Wells, London, in 2009; Petersfield composer and ace guitarist Charlie Millar; the Petersfield Youth Theatre; and the Choir Company.
