Bushmills Junior Lodges - Blues & Royals JLOL No.50 Bushmills and Daughters of Bushmills JWLOL 34 had the great privilege of handing over £1,020 to Fiona from Miss Poppy and friends , raised through their recent sponsored walk and bingo event.

Worshipful Master Alfie and Worthy Mistress Cori proudly presented the cheque on behalf of both lodges.

Our juniors have enjoyed spending time with Fiona and her rescue ponies, learning about their care and seeing the love and hard work that goes into looking after them. It was lovely to be able to give something back and support her work.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the walk, collected sponsorship, came along to the bingo or made a donation. Thanks also to everyone who helped organise and run both events. Every contribution helped us reach this fantastic total.

We’re very proud of our young members and grateful to everyone who got behind them. Community supporting community - this is what it’s all about! 🧡💜

Last Saturday, the two Bushmills Junior Orange Lodges came together for a sponsored walk to Portballintrae and back, followed by bingo, to raise money for Miss Poppy & Friends. 💜🧡

Fiona gives so much love and care to her ponies, and our Juniors wanted to support her in giving them a better life.

Days like this are about friendship, working together and learning the importance of supporting each other and those who make a difference in our community.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated and joined in — every bit of support means so much! 👏

Portadown to Host Centenary Parade as Junior Orange Women’s Association Marks 100 Years

The Junior Orange Women’s Association of Ireland (JOWAI) will celebrate its centenary in 2027, with a major parade in Portadown on Saturday 29 May marking 100 years since the first Junior Orange warrants for girls were issued.

Portadown holds a special place in the Association’s story.

JOWAI’s beginnings can be traced to Sister Mary S.A. McDonald, a member of a Ladies’ Orange Lodge in the Portadown District, whose proposal in 1926 led to the establishment of an organisation for younger female members of the Orange tradition. The first Junior Orange warrants for girls were issued the following year.

A century later, the Association continues to grow, with recent years bringing a significant increase in membership and the formation of new lodges across the country.

That growth has introduced a new generation of girls to an organisation centred on friendship, heritage, community involvement and its enduring motto, “Truth & Loyalty.”

The Centenary Parade will bring members, supporters and friends together from across Ireland and beyond, while returning the celebrations to an area closely connected with the Association’s earliest history.

It will also recognise the generations of girls and adult members who have shaped JOWAI, together with the support of the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland, throughout its first century.

Further details of the Centenary Parade and other events planned for 2027 will be announced in the months ahead.
