I very humbly convey to the members of this Research Lodge my very sincere appreciation of being elected to the position as your Master for the coming year.
I can assure you it will be my endeavour to maintain the excellent standard set by the two previous Masters and to try to inspire the brethren with a desire to serve the Research Fraternity with enthusiasm, so that the influence of our Masonic Research may be disseminated to the various Lodges.
I trust that I may achieve success and honour the trust you have reposed in me. I appreciate very deeply the confidence you have bestowed on me, and also that Lodge- Aparima has the honour of having the first country Past Master installed in this Research Lodge.
