2 joint members of LOL 398 attended the launch of the new LOL 1. Brother Whiteside said "I have to say I've had such a great time in Brixham with true Orange Brothers & Sisters.
Today we held the first meeting of William Prince of Orange LOL 1, at the very place where William of Orange first stepped foot in England for what was to become known as The Glorious Revolution.
I was truly honoured and privileged to be at this wonderful occasion with true Orangemen and women"

Grand Lodge Sessions - Plymouth

Friday 19th & Saturday 20th September

Following on from our hosting of Grand Lodge Sessions last year, this time it was LOL904s turn and what an event, superbly executed with a wonderful tradition grand lodge meeting, a great gala dinner and a well attended parade around the great naval City.

This morning our journey home begins. I wanted to share a couple of things with you. The Grand Orange Lodge of England Annual Session in Plymouth has come to an end.
Following the closure of the Authorised Version of the Bible, we sang God be with you till we meet again, followed by Land of Hope and glory. And finally the National Anthem.
Three elements of our core dna. Our faith, our nation and our monarchy.
Be steadfast in your faith, support each other and inspire those around you. Seek the Lord, Honour the King.

My earnest prayer is 12 months from now, at the opening of our next Grand Lodge meeting in Corby, that the Orange family have prospered.
There is a harvest out there, let us be the ones to bring it to the Orange Family.
On behalf of Sandra and I, We thank you for your friendship over the session in Plymouth.
Until we meet again, look after yourself and each other.
