August 2025:

Moving gathering for GLH sapling at St Mary’s Church, Godmanchester. Attached is a photo of the poster and coverage by a local newspaper, as well as two local radio interviews with Roger Leivers about the tree and GLH. 

1. I will introduce Marcial Echenique, he owns Farm Hall, where the 10 German Nuclear Scientists were kept from July 45 to Jan 46. They were listened in on by British Intellligence and were in the Hall when they heard on the BBc news about Hiroshima.
2. I will tell the story of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the build up to the bombs and the aftermath.
3. Our Vicar, David Busk, will tell us of his recollections of working in Nagasaki decades after the events of 1945
4. I will tell about Green Legacy Hiroshima and the work you do, and about our approach and partnership.
5. Oscar, our Garden Centre Manager, will tell everyone about the unique Ginkgo tree and its origins.
6. Finally our Mayor will say a few words, before the tree is blessed. and returned to the Garden Centre where it will be put on display.

Finally a picture of the Hiroshima Ginkgo in the beautiful display pot, which will be used at the ceremony.
