Growing Together - May 2025: Gardeners' World Spring Fair at Beaulieu

It's a  tough time in the football for our Petersfield sides right now as the men are knocked out of 2 cup competitions last week and the women's side are looking for their first point since being bumped up 2 divisions to Hampshire Division 2 last season. It's back to league action for the men this week as they take on tough opponents Hamble away on Tuesday and then welcome Brockenhurst to the Smartspaces Stadium on Saturday. the Shine Radio team were at the game petersfieldtownfc.co.uk . As for women's side, it's a tricky fixture against a gritty Romsey side. There's no 2 ways of saying it but Liss are in freefall just now and points are rare as are goals. Can they turn around their fortunes as they play an out-of-sorts side in Crofton Saints at the West Leigh stadium. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lissathletic/. Liphook United are arguably our most in form side as it stands although predicting which side turns up at matches is a bit of a fool's game. But in Denmead they have another great chance of picking up all three points. https://www.liphookunitedfootballclub.org/ . We have hockey news for you as both the men's and women's sides look for early form. The women are involved in a 10 goal thriller against West Meon and our men's team travel overseas to Isle of Wight https://www.petersfieldhockeyclub.com/ .  And we take a look at Petersfield Rugby clubs chances of success in 2026/7 as their delayed league campaign will begin at home on Saturday the 26th September soon to be followed by the women's historic return to competitive sport. https://www.petersfieldrfc.club/

Talking Books - September 2026

In this episode of the Cold Coffee podcast, host Iva Lomas sat down to dissect a crucial economic reality for the diaspora: how English proficiency directly dictates earning potential in the UK. For expats in the UK and the Ukrainian community alike, language skills are the ultimate catalyst for career mobility. Navigating the British job market without a solid command of the language often restricts arrivals to entry-level roles—such as warehousing, agriculture, or hospitality—where compensation sits at the National Living Wage. While these positions offer a vital starting point, breaking parity with the broader domestic workforce requires a strategic linguistic pivot.
