The main event of the evening was to see the Worshipful Commander, Worshipful Brother Peter Kyle proclaimed as the Worshipful Commander for a further year. Worshipful Brother Peter then appointed and invested his officers for the year. Although being a smaller lodge, the Assistant Provincial Grand Master was presented with a cheque for £400 towards the Mark Benevolent Fund.
 
At the completion of a wonderful evening, the brethren, although few in number, retired to the refectory to enjoy a wonderful festive board together.
