On Tuesday 27th October 2015 i was at my affiliated Chapter St Vincent Plantation No 259 where i was Reinstalled into the Chair of First Principal. I had picked very Good installing Principals and the whole installation went without a snag. the only problem was me almost messing up the opening for the first time in over 13 years which annoyed me. I was Presented with a lovely Gold Jewel for my Service as First Principal, I was greatfull to the chapter for the presentation and will wear it with pride it has previously belonged to another companion which means all the more because when i wear it i will be keeping him alive in spirt.
The harmony was good with all the normal toasts and i also presented M.E.C. John Angell who installed me with a Photo taken on the sponsored walk up Ben Lomond for CHAS in April And it would have been a lot harder if he had not been there
