In his address to the Companions, the ME Grand Superintendent said

Today is a day I shall never forget. It represents a milestone not only for me personally but for the Province. I pay tribute to the ME Second Grand Principal and his team for a most excellent installation ceremony and to my predecessor for all his hard work. I promise you, Companions, that I will give this job my all. I look forward to working with you in taking the Holy Royal Arch forward by a process of evolution rather than revolution
