The season has really started with a vengeance. In the last two days I have attended two installations (Technically one was an enthronement).

Installation one.
On Friday evening Robert Lomas invited me to visit Mold Lodge’s Installation. I normally can not make this meeting because the second Friday in September is the meeting of Valle Crucis Chapter, but this year we have moved our Chapter meeting and I was available. I enjoy visiting Mold Lodge, the Lodge room has lots of interesting artifacts, and the people are very friendly. I believe there were over 40 people in attendance, the ceremony was good and the conversation at the festive board was enjoyable.

Alas I did not win the raffle, the Goddess of Luck and Raffles still hates me. I had a strip of numbers 140 to 144. The winning numbers were 139 and 145. I swear she is now openly mocking me.

Enthronement two.
After getting home late Friday evening, I was back up and suited early Saturday morning to head out to Rhyl for the Enthronement meeting of Rhodri Fawr Rose Croix Chapter. This was another enjoyable meeting. I like Rhodri Fawr because it is the Past Sovereign Chapter, and so the members come from all over North Wales, this means you get to see people you do not see very often.

Again the meal was excellent, but then both Masonic Halls have the same caterer and Ian never fails to provide.

As an aside, I realise I have meeting coming up on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of this coming week, then Monday, Tuesday, Friday of the following. And I am not doing the Year of a Busy Mason this year due to not being so busy.
