This evening was the first Wrexhamian Lodge Committee meeting in ages.
To mark this auspicious event, we decided to hold the meeting in a pub instead of the Maesgwyn Hall. This way we could have access to drinks, would not be charged for using the hall, and more importantly have a decent drinks option. (It also helped that Mondays were half price Rev James)
The meeting was mainly to try and organise our Welsh Night, due to this being the biggest night of our year. W had high hopes of getting things organised, but in typical manner we have sorted that we need to sort things. Hey every journey starts with that first step.
We did also get the sad news of one of the longest members had resigned (It was not a shock to me, since we had discussed it at a recent meeting of another Lodge) but it was sad. It was also a shock to discover I am now slowly creeping up the longest member list, I keep forgetting I joined Wrexhamian as a joiner member so long ago.
But the important thing is. We had decent beer at the meeting, and I was not driving, so I got to drink.
oh. PS. Welsh Night is coming up.

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.
