On 11 November 2009, nearly 30 people met in Beckenham Place Park to commemorate the life of Paul Bennett, the founder of our society, who died a year previously. Information about the origins of the society can be found here, but in short they centred upon a cedar of Lebanon tree. As such, it was fitting that the ceremony consisted of planting a cedar of Lebanon, together with a plaque in Paul's memory. After a thoughtful speech by the society's Chairman, Mr Leslie Watmore, Paul's family and others planted the tree in the grounds of the park. The event is recorded below.
