Saturday 11th November 2017 saw W Bro Jim Peadon reinstalled as Worshipful Master of the Mountain Lodge, Bombala by RW Bro Russell Yelds in the presence of RW Bro Warren Bruce representing the Grand Master. The Grand Director of Ceremonies was Jim's brother VW Bro Tom Peadon. Brethren travelled from near and far to attend. Lodges from Canberra, Orbost, Bega, Pambula, Cooma were represented with at least 4 Installed Masters attending. After assuming the chair in the second degree, the Installing Master asked the Brethren to rise fo a minute's silence in memory absent Brethren lost at war.

The Lodge again demonstrated it's "family" type reputation when RW Bro Bruce responded to a toast in the South by reminding all present of the passing of a well loved and respected member, W Bro Paul Gimbert, who had passed to the Grand Lodge above during the year. Emotions ran deep as everyone conveyed their feelings to Pauls' widow Alison who was helping with the festive  board and very much still a part of the Lodge..
