Saturday night 10th November 2018 saw the 128th annual installation meeting of the Mountain Lodge at Bombala. RW Bro Russell Yelds, PSGW, was reinstalled in the Chair of King Solomon by RW Bro Warren Bruce, PSGW, in the presence of the Grand Master's representative, the DGIW for District 49B, VW Bro Ron Jaajaa. The Grand Director of Ceremonies was VW Bro Tom Peadon, PDGIW. The ceremony has been described as bookless (ritual) and faultless and in keeping with the traditional and legendary Mountain installations. In other words, a great night was had by all who attended.
