This evening I visited Kelsterton Lodge at Farfield Masonic Hall.
Blood Bikes Wales had been invited to go along and give a Talk on what we do. So Nev, Hugh, and Myself went to do our thing. We will visit any North Wales Lodge, Chapter, etc to do our audio-visual presentation. What can I say, Nev will go anywhere if it means he can be in a Photograph.
It was a very enjoyable evening, especially since it was their Christmas meeting so the festive board was full of singing and Christmas cracker hats.
You all owe me a “Thanks“, I had considered posting a Cracker Joke on each post that included a Christmas Dinner, but I decided I could not be that evil to you all.
The Lodge also made a donation of £250 to Blood Bikes Wales, which they made up to £277.12 with money thrown into a bucket during the festive board.

Freemasonry (Craft)
One of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, Freemasonry's roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
It is here that a number of the famous elements of Freemasonry find their roots. In the medieval era, stonemasons often travelled around to find work in different locations. To demonstrate their level of qualification, they would use grips, words and signs in order to distinguish themselves from unqualified builders.
Freemasonry uses building analogies to teach members how to lead productive lives that benefit the communities that they live in. In the medieval era, stonemasons wore aprons and gloves to protect themselves while working on shaping rough pieces of stone, but in today’s society Freemasons meet to build friendships and communities rather than cathedrals and castles.
