After completing their OSM meeting in the Bristol room, members of Rose & Lily moved next door to the Hong Kong room to hold their AMD installation meeting.

The Council welcomed V.W. Bro. Steven Warwick, Deputy District Grand Prefect for what was to be his final official visit. He was accompanied by a delegation of District Grand Officers.

Unfortunately, the WM was delayed and was unable to make the meeting. But, fear not, W. Bro. Vincent Fattorusso was on hand to step in at the last minute and launch into the St. Lawrence the Martyr ceremony introducing Bro. Dr. Syed Ali Abbas into the order.

That completed Vincent then proceeded to install Bro. Richard Morgan into the chair with much aplomb.

Vincent then took a well earned rest in his Treasurer's chair while the newly installed WM installed his officers.

A 2 course carvery followed in the Earl of Euston room accompanied as always by chattering and laughter until the WM toasted to their next merry meeting.
