Today is my second visit of the year, and first talk of the year.
Nev, Hugh, and Myself went along to the White Table meeting of The Lodge of Rhuddlan Castle, to give a presentation on Blood Bikes Wales.
It was a well attended meeting, with a large number of Masons, and None-Masons (or not yet Masons) in attendance. The Lodge pledged £5657 to the 2028 Festival, £350 to the North Wales Mountain Rescue, and £1,500 to Blood Bikes Wales.
We were then treated to a Gourmet five course meal, in great company, with as much wine and port as we wanted (poor Nev was the designated driver).
It is a hard job, but someone has to do it. #ItsWhatWeDo

Freemasonry (Craft)
One of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, Freemasonry's roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
It is here that a number of the famous elements of Freemasonry find their roots. In the medieval era, stonemasons often travelled around to find work in different locations. To demonstrate their level of qualification, they would use grips, words and signs in order to distinguish themselves from unqualified builders.
Freemasonry uses building analogies to teach members how to lead productive lives that benefit the communities that they live in. In the medieval era, stonemasons wore aprons and gloves to protect themselves while working on shaping rough pieces of stone, but in today’s society Freemasons meet to build friendships and communities rather than cathedrals and castles.
