Today was the Installation meeting of Wynnstay Chapter, it was also my final meeting at Wynnstay Chapter.

I have been a member of Wynnstay for just over 18 years, and in that time I have only ever missed one meeting. And that once was due to the chapter moving the date of the meeting, and it clashing with an official visit of the PGM to Bala Lodge where I was booked to give a talk.

Unfortunately, someone who I do not get along with, and who does not get along with me either (you can say there is animosity between us) was proposed as a joining member. I mentioned to the Committee at a meeting where they informed us of his balloting because he had not been proposed in open chapter about the issue, but I guess when you have one member who is a past Zerubbabel and has only missed one meeting in over 18 years, and another none member who only joined Royal arch to get into KT’s and has not attended his own chapter in almost a decade, the person in KT with several members of the chapter is preferred. 

It was very sad to put in my resignation, Wynnstay was currently my longest membership of any Masonic entity.

I guess on the bright side, I have just freed up eight evenings a year.
