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 Installation meeting of the Maesgwyn Lodge of Installed Masters. I was the Secretary so it was a busy evening. I was also standing in for the Treasurer in relation to collecting sub's & money. And I did one of the working...
This evening was the rehearsals of Wrexhamian Lodge. We were doing a third, but due to a clash with the KT's there were not many people down, and most of the officers who are doing the job on the night were absent. I sat in the SW's chair, and all...

This evening was my first double event of the year. Wrexhamian Chapter had a committee meeting this year to sort out the officers for next year due to illness. The person due to go into J's chair is currently very ill so we needed to make plans for...

This evening was the Bishop Wilkins College SRIA meeting. So we are back on the Rosicrucian train. We were very short on numbers down, due to a clash with Coronation Lodge which shares some of our members, and most of our normal visitors. Plus...
Finally something that was not Rosicrucian based. I swear I am in other things. This evening was the rehearsals for the Maesgwyn Lodge of Installed Masters Installation. We were very short on numbers down, I think because the Lodge is made up fully...

This evening I attended Valle Crucis Rose Croix. I spent the evening juggling hats. I started off as my Joint role of Immediate Past Sovereign and Assistant DC. (Hat count: 2) Unfortunately just before the meeting started we heard the Marshal was...
This evening I attended the first rehearsals of the year. It was for Valle Crucis Rose Croix. Unfortunately it was only 5 people who turned up, which was very disappointing. Even more so, because it was to rehearse the ceremony for a new candidate...
This morning I attended Rhodri Fawr Chapter Rose Croix. Since this was the Enthronement meeting, it was held at Elwy Hall Rhyl. At the start of the meeting I stood in as the Outer Guard, and at the end as the 1st General. All around it was a...
The Masonic year has started. This evening I attended Clwyd College SRIA, we had a IVº and a IIº grades, and a reading from the Fama Fraternitatis. The whole evening was very enjoyable, full of excellent ritual, good company and even better...
