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!

Google “likes” meme

Work: The End Is here
Well today is Plaetpete’s last day in the office. So far we have spent most the morning moving furniture around the building, but are yet to discover where he has dug his escape tunnel. I have a theory he is being a pesky tricky ninja, and we’ll never find his tunnel,...

Unless you are the Highlander, and suffer from an endless stream of sequels! Here we go: - Highlander 1: Was a film that stood on its own as a decent film, in so much that it had a plot, followed a time line, and made sense. Not to mention the file was fantastic, and...
FCMA: A Good nights Training

The Commute to Work? OR A daily Adventure?
Well for once the BBC weather service got it correct. They said the morning’s commute traffic may be affected by the heavy storms, and it was! I left the house this morning as normal, started driving down the hill. I was thinking it was wet, it was wetter, there was...
The Straw is Speedily Approaching The Camel
