Greetings & Salutations!

Wayne is a polymath who was born at a very early age and, quite impressively, has not died yet-something he considers to be a notable achievement.

He joined Freemasonry in 2006, the Holy Royal Arch in 2007, the S.R.I.A. in 2012, and the Ancient & Accepted Rite in 2013. In 2011, Wayne became the Master of Llannerch Lodge and has spent fourteen of the following fifteen years in one chair or another. His commitment to Masonry is extensive. He was a founding member of the Widows Sons North Wales chapter, served as the Provincial Webmaster for five years, the Assistant Provincial Mentor for five years, and was part of the Membership Pathways Team also for five years. Additionally, Wayne was an active member of the North Wales Association of Masonic Study for eight years,  as both a Speaker and committee member, he has also been giving talks across several provinces since 2017.

Wayne is also a fervent supporter of the Blood Bikes Wales charity, dedicating his time and effort to this vital cause, raising over £50,000 from talks and presentations.

Put simply Wayne is A Blood Biker, A CodeNinja, A Gamer, A Hacker, A Blogger, A Writer & Poet, A Speaker, A Freemason, A Rosicrucian, A Reader, A Spod, A Son, An Uncle, A Brother, A Man, AN INDIVIDUAL!

From the Pen of Wayne Owens

92nd anniversary of the Gresford Disaster

In the early hours of 22 September 1934, the earth shook, the lamps went out, and 266 men and boys were lost in the darkness beneath our feet. Fathers, sons, brothers, friends. Whole families changed in a single night. The pit wheel stopped turning, but the grief...

A Visit to St. Deiniol

This evening brought the meeting of St Deiniol’s Chapter, and what a gathering it turned out to be. The room was full to the brim with thirty eight in attendance, a number that speaks volumes about the quality of their meetings. In a time when many places are still...

Even though everything can go wrong, sometimes it ends up alright.

This evening was the Bishop Wilkins College SRIA meeting. We had a full evening planned, including electing our next Celebrant, a double Grade II° ceremony, and our current Celebrant was going to finally give his paper from going into the chair. What could go wrong?...

Talk: Bishop Wilkins College – Bishop John Wilkins

Emergency Services Day (2026)

Did you observe the two minute silence at the ninth hour on the ninth day of the ninth month? I did. I stopped, I stood, and I let the quiet do its work. Because today is 999 Day, a day that deserves far more attention, reverence, and gratitude than it often receives....

International Day of Charity

The International Day of Charity arrives like a quiet bell in the middle of our busy lives, inviting us to pause, breathe and look toward the people who carry the world on their shoulders without ever asking for applause. It is a day that reminds us that kindness is...

The New Season has Started

The new season has rolled in once more, and as ever it opened with Clwyd College SRIA up on the coast at Mostyn, that familiar stretch of shoreline where the wind always seems to carry a hint of ceremony. Oddly enough, my second meeting of the season is also in...

When Two Stars Slip Beyond The Curtain

A Memorial for Tim Curry and Dolly Parton. There are days when the world feels a little dimmer. Days when the great stage lights of our shared culture flicker, soften, and finally go out. Today is one of those days. Two legends, two voices, two spirits who shaped...

On my way home last night I saw something that made me do a double take, and was such a bizarre concept that I felt I had to share it with you. Part of my daily commute currently passes “Mobile Repairs“. And No before you ask, that does not mean they repair mobile...

You cant beat a “good ole family barn raising“. Well, technically there were no barn’s raised, or any barns at all really. And the closet thing to an Amish was a tall blond in skin-tight jodhpurs who walked past at one point. (What is it about boots & Tight...

Managing the Unmanageable: Or Herding Cats

A nervous air of expectancy tinged with an edge of fear hangs over the quiet room, as a group of people sit on old school chairs arranged in a circle.  Slowly one of the group stands up, looking at the faces of those around him, making sure not to make eye contact. He...
