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 Maesgwyn Lodge of Installed Masters (MLIM) Rehearsals. Organising a Masonic Meeting is a bit like putting on a play, and as such we need rehearsals to practice, and make sure everyone knows their lines and actions. We in the...
Everything in the world is run by committee’s, you can hardly do anything these days without at least one committee involved, and Freemasonry is no exception. This evening was the turn of Wrexhamian Lodge’s committee meeting. We needed to discuss...
