It could be described as an evening and high and low’s, the “low” being that EComp Duncan Childs was due to be the Installing Principal for his longstanding friend, Companion & Brother, EComp Peter Robinson, but unfortunately was taken ill on the afternoon of the installation date.
The “high” came when past MEZ, EComp Sandy Cruickshank, stood in with just a few hours of notice to provide an exceptional and sincere installation and obligation for MEZ Elect, EComp Peter Robinson. Robes & Sceptres were presented by Active Provincial Officers, MEZ - EComp Peter Chown, H - EComp Steve Squires and J - EComp Nigel Dickens in fine style.
The Deputy Grand Superintendent, EComp Neil Handley wished everyone in the Chapter well and thanked them for a wonderful evening. In particular he sent his best wishes to EComp Duncan Childs for a speedy recovery.
