A terrific day out today with Rathfriland Junior District No. 3.

Our trip included viewing the impressive arches at Sandy Row and the Shankill, a fascinating tour of Clifton Street Orange Hall, lunch at Carrickfergus Rangers Club (many thanks to Cheryl Brownlee for the warm hospitality), before finishing the day with a visit to Carrickfergus Castle.

A sincere thank you to everyone who helped organise and host the visit. Most importantly, the boys had a fantastic day, creating memories and learning more about our history and heritage together.

A terrific day was had by all from Clough JLOL No. 124 at Killyleagh on the Twelfth.

A sincere thank you to our parent lodge once again giving each of the boys £5, and to The Thirsty Herd for generously providing everyone with a complimentary breakfast. Your kindness and continued support are greatly appreciated.

It was a fantastic day of fellowship, tradition and pride. 🇬🇧

To see my British brethren, all of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers, who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear the sash my father wore.

Packed hall in Clough Orange Hall tonight for our Battle of the Somme presentation with historian Quincey Dougan.

It was encouraging to see such a strong turnout from across the community, with people of all ages coming together to learn more about the sacrifice, courage and service of those who fought on the Somme, particularly the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division.

A sincere thank you to Quincey for delivering an informative and engaging presentation, and to everyone who attended and supported the event. Events like this help ensure that the stories and lessons of the Somme are passed on to future generations.

Battle of the Somme Presentation

Clough’s Chosen Few JLOL 124 are delighted to host an evening with historian Quincey Dougan on Thursday 18th June at 7.30pm in Clough Orange Hall.

The presentation will explore the formation of the Ulster Volunteer Force, the creation of the 36th (Ulster) Division, and their role in the Battle of the Somme, one of the most significant chapters in our history.

This promises to be an informative and thought provoking evening, and everyone is welcome to attend.

Donations in support of Clough’s Chosen Few Junior Lodge would be greatly appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you there.

“Events such as this provide young Orangemen and Orangewomen with the opportunity to build friendships, learn about their heritage and create memories that will last a lifetime. Judging by the smiles on the children’s faces throughout the day, the County Demonstration was an outstanding success.”

Well done to JLOL 124 member John Scott, who took part in this week’s Walk from Annalong to Kilkeel alongside the Kilkeel Cadets, helping to raise funds for the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland and the The Somme Association.

A fantastic effort in support of two very worthy causes while commemorating the 110th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
