Keep up the great work lads
I paraded with Omagh Lol 850 on the 1st July -I was in the biggest junior lodge in NI in the late 60s which folded ,so was glad to see a new junior lodge in Omagh .
I enjoyed this discussion as it brought back the memories of getting my band uniform ready or my lodge regalia ,my dad dropped dead during the 1st July parade in 1985 and my big brother passed last year was in same lodge-so all those memories came back when I marched in Omagh last week as a lodge Member behind my old band ,Blair Memorial.
When in the juniors we had a football team ,table tennis in winter , disco on a Saturday-we need to be developing youth and being active in recruiting-the loyal institutions should be returning to becoming the glue that holds the PUL community together.
Hit the nail on the head. Yes it's a day to celebrate but its so much more too. I always remember my father and grandfather who were in the orange back in the day and no longer here. As a bandsman I pull on my uniform on the 12th morning and memories come flooding back it can be a very emotional day. But we keep doing it for the joy it not only brings us but also the spectators who gather to watch.
Wishing you a peaceful and enjoyable day.
Thank you, with all that will be said about the weekend in the mainstream media, its important to have that human side of things presented.
The thoughts of the beacons up Belfast Lough is definitely something that should be perused. If not by the orange then certainly by different re enactment committees.
I know Darren from living in the same street as a child. Twelfth morning was always a busy one with 3-4 band members leaving the street at the same time and him heading off in the suit with the collarette. Even know time has moved on though it’s good to see traditions haven’t. Great episode this one and a great way to reflect on how family members before us paved the way for us to carry it on. Those thoughts alone make all the blisters and cramps with while.
no surrender even in the usa
Glenn are you talking about a Return parade from Boucher?
To be honest my thoughts were about changing the end venue to there purely for festival type idea as it’s a venue that has hosted high profile, mass attended events. There are a lot of options that could be looked at, I also mentioned keeping the current outward route the same and let districts do the return in their own areas. At the moment I have no preferred option, just generating ideas that could be considered
@@MadetoParade here's another point Glenn, there's too many people on the Road that shouldn't be, ie people pushing prams and the blue bag brigade in between Bands and Lodges, it's looks awful mate, thanks for replying
Nice meeting you in holytown orange hall and robert says thanks for kind words about the meal
Good to meet you all as well, hopefully we will see you all next year
You too
Glenn, the time we are now allocated at the break in Belfast is getting ridiculous, I think it needs to be seriously addressed ?
It’s definitely one of a number of issues that need to be discussed
Fantastic episode..would love to see king billy sail down from Carrick into belfast lough and all the beacons lining the route.Fantastic idea as is your voucher Rd one btw 👏
It would be quite the spectacle and a real sense of re-enacting history, hopefully we can get funding together to make it happen.
