Presentation of Burbage Award to John Powell
I joined a packed Burbage Village Hall where most of the village seemed to have turned out to see John and Mary Powell honoured for their decades of unstinting work for the local community, and where I presented John with an innovative new honour that makes him Honorary Freeman of the Parish. I don't know if people like the Powells are born or made, but I wish we could somehow clone their energy and public spirit and distribute thousands more like them in less well-served parts of the country.
