Three Meetings, Three Orders, Three Days

Over the last three days (M-T-W) I have been out at three different meetings, and oddly of three different orders. If you add this to the two installation meetings, of two orders, over two days (F-S) that I just had, it makes me query my belief that this year will be a lot quieter than any over the last decade, and so to not do the Year of a Busy Mason this year.

Monday (Craft)

Monday evening was the rehearsals for the Installation meeting of the Maesgwyn Lodge of Installed Masters. Any time we have to do ritual with the Installed masters it is a laugh because the members are all past masters, and come from a collection of different lodges. This melting pot of members has the interesting side affect that everyone’s ritual is slightly different, and of course everyone thinks they are doing it the correct way. It makes it interesting for the DC.

Luckily I am but the Secretary, so I just have to organise the event and sort out all the paperwork. I get to stand back and ignore the ritual stuff.

Tuesday (S.R.I.A.)

Tuesday was the meeting of Bishop Wilkins College Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.) which was held over the border in England. Again I was the Secretary so had the paperwork and administration to sort out. I also stood in on the evening as the Celebrant (master). We had a grade four ceremony and a paper. Then to thank my hard work I had an extra pie during the festive board, since a couple of people had to drop out at the last minute and the catering staff brought out the spare pies for us to share.

Wednesday (Royal Arch)

Wednesday was a short notice extra month early rehearsal meeting for Wrexhamian Chapter, along with a committee meeting. The committee meeting made sense, but the rehearsal was a bit pointless since two of the three principles had not even looked at the work yet since the meeting is a month away, and the incoming J has not looked either. Plus they were not going to rehearse the inner workings. So I am not sure why it was called as a rehearsal and not just a committee meeting. We did head to the pub after for a few drinks.
