“As part of this, we actually met the Mayor of Giessen and passed on our greetings on behalf of the City of Winchester. In addition, Winchester Round Table has an old tea set gifted to us some 50 years ago by I believe the city of Winchester. 

“We thought it would be a nice idea to gift part of this set of tea cups to the Mayor of Giessen to look after and reunite with us one day in the future.”
