A CALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS SATURDAY
Brethren, Sir Knts, Sisters,
This Saturday, 19th September, Dromore will mark the 100th Anniversary of the unveiling of the town War Memorial.
Unfortunately a prior written agreement with the local branch of the Royal Britalish Legion permitting our District Officers to parade jointly with them has been reneged upon in recent days.
As a result, and not to allow "administrative disagreements" or bad faith detract from the occasion, Lower Iveagh District LOL No 1 and RBDC No 1 have, with hard work and commitment by their officers, arranged a short independent Remembrance Parade & Wreath Laying prior to the RBL proceedings - TO WHICH ALL LOYAL ORDERS, LADIES ASSOCIATION AND JUNIORS ARE INVITED
Parade Arrangements:
Assemble at 2:00 PM on Saturday 19th September at Dromore Orange Hall
Move Off: 2:15 PM SHARP
Procession will be led by a lone piper. We will parade to the Square in quiet dignity
A wreath will be laid at the War Memorial on behalf of all Loyal Orders. 1 Representative of each Loyal Order present will form the wreath laying party.
The parade will formally disperse in the Square immediately following the wreath-laying.
Following dispersal, Brethren are encouraged to remain in the Square, WEARING THEIR REGALIA, to observe the remainder of the day's proceedings. Our focus must remain on decorum and community remembrance.
We ask every Lodge/Preceptory and Brother/Sister to turn out to honour those who gave their lives.
Let us show the townsfolk how we can turnout!
