Happy 20th Masonic Anniversary

Today marks my 20th anniversary of joining Freemasonry.

On the 2nd of February 2006, I arrived at the Masonic Hall in Ruabon at 6pm, suited up and not entirely sure what I was walking into. That evening I was initiated into Llannerch Lodge in the Province of North Wales. I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting, even if I didn’t fully understand what was happening at the time. The pub meal afterwards — the festive board, as I quickly learned — was just as enjoyable. I even had to stand up and thank everyone for welcoming me, after they’d all stood to toast me.

Over the following year, I took my second (Fellowcraft) and third (Master Mason) steps.

The next twenty years have taken me on quite a journey:
