Today was a bit of a panic. It was both Wrexhamian Lodge’s meeting, and the start of the 6 Nations rugby competition, and Wales were kicking off the season.
Apparently we had a second degree practice, because we have a candidate next month and they want to do a second in March and wanted a practice so it went well. I found this out in the meeting, since everything is still being organised in secret without the Lodge committee or members being included. The night was interesting, our new JD turned up for the first time since before Installation and went to his spot as Chaplin because no one has told him that the replaced him with a member who turns up once a year so he can get another tick on his form. So we had a visitor act as JD, while out Dc did DC, Wm, IPM, and the bits like the tracing board. We had a half dozen Past Masters of the lodge sitting doing nothing while this happened. I can not see this Lodge surviving much longer, which is a shame.
Luckily, I did not have to try and play the match on the screen in the Lodge room, since the meeting was over in enough time for several of us to get to the local pub and watch the game with a few pints. We did have to miss the festive board, but since the food and service is not the best, and there is no decent choice of drinks it was not a problem to skip the festive board for the rugby.
Plus. It was Wales in the 6 Nations!

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.
