After a successful year as Zerubabble E Companion John Watkins handed over the chair to E Companion Peter Wright. During his year John had held two exatations and the Chapter performed the Vacant Chair Ceremony. The Installation meeting was joined by E Companion Tony Burke, Past Provincial Third Grand Principal, representing the The Most Excellent Grand Superintendant. E Companions Peter Barnes and John Burton became Haggai and Joshua respectively. After the team was nominated the Chapter was closed and the Companions reassembled for the Festive Board. After the food cometh the toasts and all were proposed in good order with John Boughton proposing the toast to Z and E Comp Terry Lynn singing the Song to the Three Principals. A raffle was held raising £106.00 to the charity pot and Edwin the Teddy Bear was claimed by Hull Old Grammarians' Chapter 5129 represented that evening by Graeme Reid.
