On 23rd January some 25 Companions mustered in No. 2 Lodge Room at Kings Heath for the Induction of H, E. Comp. B. F. Egerton, PPrGStB, who had been unavoidably absent due to illness on the normal Installation date.

The Induction was conducted in an excellent manner by E. Comp. J. A. Davies following which he then conducted a first class Exaltation Ceremony.

Our picture shows the 3 Principals together with the DepGS, E. Comp. Michael D Cox, PAGSoj, and the well recognised faces of the PGM, E. Comp. Robert Vaughan GSwdB, together with E. Comp's Michael Taylor, PGSwdB, PDepGS, and Michael Guest, PAGSoj.
