The Group President, W. Keith Plant, and his wife Mavis were amongst those welcoming visitors from widespread parts of the world to the Plant Millennium Reunion at the Village Hall near Chelford in Cheshire, UK.

The day included a coach tour of the surrounding countryside, which appears to have been the principal homeland of the Plants from c1380-1680. There was also a presentation on the medieval Origins of the Plant Name by Dr John S. Plant of nearby Keele University. This is outlined by the Slides of this Presentation which has led on to further developments in such articles as John S Plant (1999-onwards), Roots and Branches, Issue Number 18 onwards.
