Petersfield Twinning Association welcomed this year’s visitors from the twin town of Warendorf in Germany. The event was held on the 8 August.

The evening was opened by our very own Town Crier, followed by the Chairman, and the two mayors who exchanged gifts from the two towns.

In the Sportlight 23rd March

Jo Gray recently travelled from Petersfield to Leatherhead to attend the Felinology Cat Show, where she met Norwegian Forest Cat Forestfriend Annie and her owner, John Farnaby.

Annie, a retired champion show cat, was attending as a cat ambassador — a role she clearly relishes — giving visitors the chance to learn more about her majestic breed.

In this slice of feline heaven, Jo also meets more passionate owners and their prized cats, as well as a dedicated rescuer committed to helping cats with nowhere else to go.

There were cats big and small — from gloriously fluffy furballs to striking hairless beauties — a true celebration of feline diversity.
