With over 50-brethren in attendance, there was fantastic turnout of Grand Officers and Acting Provincial Officers to support not only the incoming Worshipful Master and Installing Master, but also the official representative of the Provincial Grand Master, WBro Simon Perry ProvJGW.
WBro Simon was attending his first Official Visit and had to “sing for his supper” by providing a sincere and heartfelt address to the Worshipful Master.
During what was an evening of “firsts”, several of the newer brethren presented Working Tools to the incoming Worshipful Master. Special mentions must go to Bro Sandy Lorima (Second Degree Tools) and Bro Len Pengelly (First Degree Tools). The Third Degree Tools were presented by WBro Chris Winfield ProvGOrg.
A happy and vibrant festive board finished off what was a very special evening for all those involved, including a special performance of the Visitors Song from the “MCC” the (Massed Cytringan Choir).
