On Thursday 18th July the Regular HIP meeting was honoured to witness the MEGS appoint and Invest E Comp Tony Stevenson as ProvGScrE, EComp Mark Hall as ProvGMentor and Comp David Sanders as ProvGAlmoner.

At the Festive Board the Companions were joined by the ladies and, again, by the "Ukes of Hazard" ukulele band. Last year the meeting raffle raised funds to help the ‘Ukes’ donate to the RDA Centre at N Ferriby after it was vandalised. On this occasion the raffle raised £250.00 for the ‘Ukes’ to refurbish their equipment and enable them to continue touring and raising money for charity. During the presentation Comp Bill Glanville attempted to join in playing the ukulele!
