This Easter Ballymoney will be coloured crimson as the town hosts the Apprentice Boys parade. We are proud to be associated with this organisation and many of our members are also Apprentice Boys.
The Finvoy No Surrender Club has a particular Independent Orange connection and each year we have a joint parade and church service in Rasharkin.
We look forward to this weekends events and the Easter BallyMonday Crimson Festival, and pay tribute to all those involved in organising this magnificent event. Its rich blend of music and culture is a showcase of the very best of our heritage. The record attendance of bands planned for Easter Monday will be the high point of the festival and we know very well just how much hard work and planning goes into an event like this.
We would encourage our members to support the festival and each of the events in a very full programme which builds towards the much anticipated Easter Monday Parade, which will see a record 72 bands take part and tens of thousands of visitors descend upon Ballymoney.
As an Institution we will be helping to feed and get everyone off to a good start with a Big Breakfast in our Head-Quarters, Edward Street. Feeding the crowds and those on parade is just one part of the logistical plans which lie behind an event like Mondays and our hall will be open from early morning with breakfast served until noon.
So why join us for a warm breakfast and an even warmer welcome, and a guided tour of our head-quarters.
Vita Veritas Victoria
