The lodge being opened in due form the Provincial delegation processed in and greetings were given to the Deputy Provincial Grand Master. The gavel of the lodge was then presented to VWBro Derek Nelson Thornhill, PGSwdB, DPGM, by the Worshipful Master Bro Russell Harwood, which VWBro Thornhill accepted.
