We'll be erecting the arch in Hamilton road this Thursday evening between 7 and 9pm, which will cause some minor traffic congestion in the area.

Those who are able to help with putting up the arch, should meet at the orange hall at 6.30pm.

Yesterday, Sunday 7th June, a few of our brethren were proud to attend Conlig Village Star LOL 695 Annual Church Service in Conlig 🤝.

We want to thank Conlig Village Star LOL 695 for inviting us and for putting on such a lovely service.

Unlucky the weather wasn’t on your side ☔️💨, but it’s always a pleasure to come out, show our support, and stand alongside our fellow brethren 🇬🇧.

Thank you again for having us — we really appreciate the warm welcome! 🤍❤️💙

Not long now until our annual Church Service and parade. Always held on the first Sunday in June we will be joined by Brethren from Bangor District LOL NO 18, Newtownards District LOL NO 4 and brethren from further afield.
