This evening was the first meeting of Wrexhamian Lodge for the season.
We had a Third Degree ceremony, and due to the SW recovering from an operation, I dusted off my memory and stood in the chair for the evening.
The ceremony went well, the only thing we discussed afterwards was the lighting. Over the summer break the Temple has had a bit of work done to it, and the lighting needs to be worked out. Not that it is wrong, but we went from having a dozen switches controlling multiple sections of lights, to just 4. Basically we are still working out the best combinations for the different ceremonies. They are changing 2 lights to be dimmers which will make it perfect, especially with a plan we have for the masters light. But I digress! The candidate had a great evening, and really enjoyed himself which is all that matters.
We then elected the new Master and Treasurer for the upcoming year (Which was a bit confusing as the meeting to discuss who it will be is next Monday)
But the season has started!
And there are candidates on the horizon.

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.
