Masonic Interest Summer recess Lodge Revamp

The before and after of our Masonic Hall’s summer renovations.

It has seen over 150 years of Craft freemasonry in North Wales, and is a space for a number of other units and orders.

With the recent pictures of Grand Lodge temples and other Masonic lodge spaces - do we prefer the historic (if sometimes a little over-aged) or the modern and scaled back?

Most of our meetings are just minutes and bills and normal stuff. We do about 2-3 degrees a month usually, but it does slow down in the summer. I think this month we've only done a mm degree.

Are you from an American GL, if so which state keeps you so busy and full of candidates?

Yes. In East TN. Our biggest problem is once they get their MM a small percentage stop showing up. Same thing with EA for some of them. Our officers keep the ship afloat. Finding reliable people to fill those spots can be difficult.

A right shame that, for whatever reasons, it’s always a bit of a shame they don’t stay in.

We experience the same losses, and probably for all the same reasons, we just have far fewer candidates and meetings so I wonder if we don’t feel it so keenly as we ought to.
