The Provincial Grand Senior Warden said he was commissioned by his Lodge to invite the Provincial Grand Master to hold his annual meeting for 1889 at Norwich , promising that they would do all in their power to make
the meeting a success . Lord Henniker said since he had had the honour to preside over this Province , he had made it a rule to hold his annual meeting in rotation in the four Counties of which the Province -was composed . Next year
it would be the turn of the county of Norfolk , so that he should have great pleasure in accepting the cordial invitation of the Walpole Lodge . As regarded the date of meeting
he could not , of course , fix it positively now ; but he thought that somewhere about Whitsuntide would be a more convenient time than June . Bro . Thos . J . Railing
expressing his regret that Lord Henniker was unable to stay to the banquet , said he was sure the Provincial Grand Lodge would desire , before his Lordship left them , to tender him their sincere thanks for his presence , and to
express the hope that he might soon be fully restored to health . Bro . Levvin , as the oldest Past Master of the Chelmer Lodge , seconded the vote of thanks , which was
carried , and briefly acknowledged by his Lordship . The Lodge was then closed , and the brethren adjourned to the White Hart Hotel where they dined together , under tho presidency of the Provincial Grand Senior Warden .
