The main event of the evening saw the immaculate ceremony undertaken by Worshipful Brother Gilson Rowe, in which he installed his successor, Worshipful Brother Russell Dearing, a Past Grand Junior Deacon, into the chair of Adoniram. Worshipful Brother Dearing then went on to appoint and invest his officers for the year.

After the meeting, the brethren retired to the refectory, and after having had his picture taken with the Deputy Provincial Grand Master and the active officers, he joined 41 other brethren as they sat down to enjoy the wonderful festive board. A great gathering of good friends within this wonderful degree.
