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 Bishop Wilkins College Installation meeting. It was planned that we would also do a Grade III and Grade II. But, as they say "the best laid plans of mice and men……" The morning of the meeting, I received an email from our Grade...
This evening was Wynnstay Chapter's Christmas meeting. This evening was a special one because we had the Deputy Grand Superintendent, the 2nd and 3rd Provincial Grand Principles, and the team down. So to make sure the night went well, we had...
This cold and frozen morning, I got up early and popped over the border into equally cold England to attend the Provincial AGM for the S.R.I.A. Province of Western Counties and North Wales at Cheshire View. The Hall had laid out coffee and mince...
