Speeches were kept to a minimum, and the Victorian delegation was most impressed both in the relative brevity of the Grand Master's speech, but even more so on his tremendous and sincere support for the lodge. Hammond was invested as Foundation Immediate Past Master. Since that time the Sydney Lodge has visited Victoria and the Installations of Lodges Epicurean and Amalthea were moved so that they were closer together to allow the members of The Sydney Lodge to get to both Installations. On the 28th of June 1999 a contingent of members from both Lodge Amalthea and Lodge Epicurean will again have travelled to Sydney for the Installation meeting of the Sydney Lodge. A quality dinner will follow each meeting.
Visitors are most welcome.
