This evening was a meeting of Wrexhamian Lodge.
We had an Initiation planned, but unfortunately our candidate has injured his knee, and has been told to stay off it for a while. This meant we have had to push his initiation back a while. SO a demonstration was done instead.
This was a good thing because the attendance was very low, from a lodge that used to have 40+ in attendance n a normal night, we had a meeting in an empty room. I have never seen a meeting with so few members.
And, from being asked to arrange a talk for the December meeting last Friday, I was informed by someone else that the DC has decided he is doing the walking charge next month. I love how the DC just uses the Lodge as his own private event, and communications are done in secret and not to all the members.
There was a funny bit, that was almost like a schoolyard. Someone came to tell me that the secretary had asked them to ask me if I would be the Chapter Rep. Which I turned down, because they had only appointed a new Chapter Rep a week ago, and is excited about the job so there is no way I am taking that away from him.
I think it is time to look for a new Lodge to join.

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.
