In Memorium
Ever since the formation of the Order in 1795 members have played their part in the defence of their country and the great principles of freedom and democracy.
New Bannerette
New Bannerette
On Saturday 10th March we had our new bannerette dedicated and unfurled at McCalmont Orange Hall, Ballyclare.
The dedication ceremony was carried out by Bro. Rev. Ron Johnstone and he was helped to unfurl the bannerette by Deputy District Master Brian Adair.
The day was also a day of reflection as Bro. Rev. Robert Campbell kindly remembered our Brother Worshipful Master Eric Weir, Ballyrobert LOL 389 who sadly passed away earlier in the month.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who took part in the service and parade and a special thanks to Youngs Temperance True Blues for the use of their hall and to Millar Memorial Flute Band who led us in the parade through Ballyclare.

Our Appreciation
Garryowen LOL 221 would like to give a special mention to two lodges that we are grateful & honoured to have paraded along side. These are Calton Protestant Defenders LOL 221 from Glasgow and our comrades, Ulster Defenders of the Realm LOL 710 (UDR lodge) from East Belfast. We have been privileged to have exchanged visits with both lodges and will continue to do so for many years.
Our appreciation and special thanks also go to the outstanding bands locally and from further a field which have accompanied us on our various parades since our formation in 2008. Cambuslang Britannia (The Brits) from Glasgow who led us in the Ballymena Twelfth 2009. Cambuslang Britannia are a well respected band and travel to all parts of the United Kingdom to give support wherever needed. A fantastic outfit who we wish all the best in the future. Also our thanks go to the excellent Ballykeel Loyal Sons of Ulster, Pride of the Maine, Cullybackey Maine Defenders, Millar Memorial, Sir George White Memorial, Ballymacarrett Defenders, Kellswater and Sandyhills Olde Guard Flute Band.
Thank you all for your kind support
