The Province of North Wales is broken down into 10 groups, each with a Group Chairman and a selection of Lodges and Chapters that fall into that Group or Area.
For the last few years Group 8 has been shrinking due to Lodges and Chapters closing, and moving to different Halls. During the same time Group 7 has been growing, mostly due to the relocation of lodges from Group 8. It was therefore decided, that since both Group 7 & 8’s chairmen were stepping down this year, that the two groups would merge together and create a supergroup with a new Group Chairman. (It made sense since most the people in the Group were in both groups anyway due to locational closeness)
Since September the new Super-Group has been in existence and this evening a bunch of us met up to plan what we are going to do moving onwards. There are a lot of plans moving forward.

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.
