This evening I went along to the coast to visit Pilgrim Lodge 6958.
The Lodge meets in the Llandudno Masonic Hall, so I had a lovely trip up to the coast, and the sun was shining the whole way. It was a lovely day for a trip. The Lodge was celebrating their 75th anniversary, in the presence of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master. The Lodge opened and we had a nice talk on the history of the Lodge, before the Deputy PGM took over the lodge to present a 75th anniversary certificate, along with having the pleasant task of conducting a field promotion. All those attending were given an anniversary booklet.
After the meeting we headed off to the North Wales Golf Club for the festive board, which consisted of 4 lovely courses surrounded by fun, cheer and good conversations. We also all got a lovely gift of an engraved pen and torch set.
The members of Pilgrim Lodge did their Lodge proud with the days celebrations, and have set the bar high for their centenary in 25 years.

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.
