The Masonic year tends to run from September until June, with July and August being our summer break. There are of course exceptions to every rule, and we do have the occasional summer meeting, but the majority runs September-June. This coming year looks like it could be a busy year for me.
I have therefore decided to blog a record of all my meetings this year, to give people an idea of what a busy Masonic year is like. I should point out that, this will be as I have already stated a busy year for me, and the average commitment to Freemasonry is a lot less than what I will be recording. I just imagined it may be of interest to some people. There are a lot of Freemasons who without visiting just have around eight meetings, and eight rehearsals a year.
So come along with me on a journey.

This evening was a committee meeting for Valle Crucis Rose Croix. This evening was also St. Patricks Day, so to honour the day we held the meeting in a pub. Well that and it is no longer easy to have meetings in the Maesgwyn Hall. It was only a...
Today I went along to Elwy Hall in Rhyl, to attend the Rose Croix Higher Degrees Luncheon. Every year, all the members of the Higher Degrees in the District of North Wales (and guests) all gather on a Saturday afternoon for a nice lunch, and...

This evening I attended Mold Royal Arch Chapter at the Mold Masonic Hall, to give a talk. The Chapter’s Scribe Ezra had reached out to contact me from the North Wales Association of Masonic Studies Lecture List, to see if I would be available to...

This evening was the meeting of Clwyd College. It was a very enjoyable (if a bit busy) evening. Due to Grampa Geoff being off galivanting around the globe, I stood in as Chaplin for the evening, on top of my roles as Conductor of Novices, and...

This evening was Wrexhamian Lodge. We had a new candidate, and he is a very useful candidate because he is a Landlord. It is always good to make friends with local publicans. Especially ones who run pubs you frequent. The meeting went well, albeit...
This evening was the Coronatio Quadrans Lecture. W.Bro The Revd Roger Quick. Provincial Grand Chaplin of Yorkshire West Riding delivered a talk on the subject of "The Need to be Properly Prepared Before Embarking on Masonic Mediation". where he...
To continue the trend of Wrexhamian Chapter now having an additional rehearsal, this evening we had an additional Committee meeting. I say it was an additional one, because we had it to discuss next years officer list, and who was doing what part...
This morning I got up early, and headed down south into England to visit Charles Darwin College in Shrewsbury. I arrived at the Masonic Hall in Shrewsbury to find the carpark closed off so we had to park in the treelined area to the side of the...
This evening was Wrexhamian Lodge's rehearsals. I am still skipping these since they are being organised in secret, so there is no chance of helping out or doing any part since it is being planned in secret with even members of other Lodges being...
This evening I visited Westminster Lodge in the Province of Cheshire. I have been visiting Westminster Lodge on and off for almost 20 years now (I first visited their December white table event 20 years ago this December). A good friend of mine,...
