W Bro George Walsh did what can only be described as an excellent job in installing his successor.

The working tools were given in an exemplary fashion by Bro Alan Hall who was only advanced last year. The presentation of the keystone collar jewel was given by Ken Laites PPrGJO. The addresses were given by Bob Hayes PPrGJO (PPrGSW designate) to the WM, by David Ogden PPrGJD to the wardens, by David Brogan PAGDC to the overseers  and by VWBro Keith Beardmore Dep PrGM to the brethren.
