This evening was my final Masonic event of 2025. I am all done until next year.

Ok, So I may have already posted about my last Masonic Meeting of the year, but in my defence when I wrote that post it really was my last meeting of 2025. I had nothing else planned!

And then I heard that Wynnstay Lodge were doing a special event at their meeting to pay tribute to Normal Jones who sadly passed away at the start of the month. I liked Normal, and have known him for as long as I have been a Mason, so I had to attend.

therefore, I ended the year with Wynnstay lodge, in Ruabon. The Lodge did not parade in for the opening since Norman had been the current Master, going back into the chair for the umpteenth time. one of the members read out a tribute to the life of Norman, and it was very interesting to hear that amount of Royalty and Celebrities he knew. It was a very moving tribute.

The lodge than initiated a new Candidate, before retiring to the festive board. I was offered a free meal if I wanted to go, but they were dining at the Maesgwyn so the Beer and Food is not the best, instead several of us went to a CAMBRA wining pub for some real ale.

This was a better way to end the Masonic year of 2025, by paying tribute to a very worthy mason.

RIP Norman. Everyone will miss your cowboy lecture.
