At the end of the installation ceremony Tony complimented the officers who had taken part in the ceremony and thanked Jim for all his work during his year in office as Provincial Grand Scribe Nehemiah. He also thanked the members of the chapter on behalf of the Provincial team for their very warm welcome and the hospitality they had shown to all the guests.
