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 the Valle Crucis Chapter's Enthronement. I will admit the DC team (Including myself as ADC) entered the evenings event with a lot of worry. Well, just two days earlier we had learned that not everyone had received the summons or...
This evening was the Valle Crucis Chapter's Rehearsal. On Friday, we have an enthronement where we put a new person into the chair. The rehearsals went well. OK 40% rehearsing, and 60% gossiping, which is good for a bunch of Masons. Now the person...

This evening was the Wynnstay Chapter meeting. It was our first double exaltation, and after Friday's rehearsals we were all setup for a good evening. Alas in the words of Captain Cold "make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the...
This evening was the rehearsal for Wynnstay Chapter. We were trialing a new start time for rehearsals, starting at 6:30 instead of the normal 7:30. I think I like this earlier start time, since when the rehearsals were finished it was still light...
![TYoaBM[2] – Y Mochyn Du](https://wayne-owens.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TYOBM-Craft.png)
This evening was Wrexhamian Lodges Welsh Night. The committee had decided that we would have a talk/lecture of a Welsh nature, and then down to the festive board for Y Mochyn Du. Unfortunately, our old DC wanted to show off with a second degree...
This evening was the fourth Masonic Event of the week. Valle Crucis Chapter Committee meeting Wynnstay Chapter Committee meeting Pilgrim Lodge 75th Anniversary Wrexhamian Lodges rehearsals. Since, once again the planning was done in secret, and not...
This evening I went along to the coast to visit Pilgrim Lodge 6958. The Lodge meets in the Llandudno Masonic Hall, so I had a lovely trip up to the coast, and the sun was shining the whole way. It was a lovely day for a trip. The Lodge was...
This evening was a committee meeting for Wynnstay Chapter. So for the second day in a row, I found myself at a committee meeting. This time it was for the Royal Arch. Again we were sorting out the officers for the following year. This time it was a...
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...
