SUMMARY:Twelfth Day Programme
DESCRIPTION:The day begins for at home getting ready\, a good breakfast and daily devotions before setting off to the Orange Hall. The Hall on a Twelfth morning is an exciting busy scene as instruments get tuned\, lodges meeting\,  and plans set. Then most lodges parade in their own areas in the morning\, called feeder parades before making their way by bus or car to the main demonstration. \n \nThen lodges parade to the Assembly Field\, on the Town Hill Road\, Portglenone (Point 9 on the map) from 1130 – 12 noon\, where many find time for lunch to set them up for the main parade. It’s a great time to catch up with folk you haven’t seen since this time last year. \nThe Assembly field will have Outdoor Caterers and Toilet facilities as well as parking\, however priority will be given to lodge vehicles. \nWhile the general public is very welcome in the Assembly Field many prefer to pick their spot along the parade route which will include the Townhill Road\, Main Street over the Bann bridge along the Clady Road to the Main Demonstration Field on the Right Hand side.  The village has ample parking for example at First Portglenone Presbyterian Church (Point 1 on the map) as well as the Main Street itself. The Main Street is the best vantage point and as the route is relatively short it is possible to watch the parade then walk or drive to the Twelfth Field. \nThe Main Parade will step off at 1300 taking around an hour to make its way to the Twelfth Field (Point 8 on the map). The Fun Fair\, and family picnic areas will be open from 1330 throughout the day and ample free car parking will be available for all. The field has been designed with different zones with the main platform being the focal point for events through out the day. \n \nTimes for the Twelfth  \n1300  – Parade Steps off from Assembly Field \n1400  – Parade Arrives at Twelfth Field \nFun Fair\, and Family Picnic Areas will be open from 1330 \n1430 – Lambeg Drum Tattoo \n1445 – Launch of King William III\, Life & Legacy Programme \n1500 – Platform Proceedings begin with Worship led by Killycoogan Accordian Band \nThe proceedings include a Welcome address\, Resolutions and Speeches \n1600 – Proceedings will be closed with the National Anthem \n1630 – Return Parade will form up \n1750 – Parade back to Assembly Point and Disperse

SUMMARY:Banners on the Bann
DESCRIPTION:Banners on the Bann is an innovative outdoor exhibition of Orange banners arranged to tell the story of our Protestant and Orange Heritage. \nOrange Banners evolved from large flags which were common in the later 1800s and right into the early Twentieth Century. Their origins lie in the tradition of regimental colours\, carried to identify and provide a rallying point for different units in battle. The military origins of the Orange Order meant that lodges adopted the carrying of colours when on parade.  \nThese traditionally carry mottoes\, the name and location of the lodge and over time saw the addition of elaborate works of art. Tradition holds that King William is on the front\, with the lodge symbolically still marching behind their king. However the reverse is very much up to the democratic decision of the lodge. Many choose a Biblical story to illustrate their Christian faith\, others an image symbolising their Protestant Heritage such as a reformer or Martyr\, and some choose an image representing British History. Often these elaborate works of art on a grand scale are reproductions of a famous painting and they represent community art at its finest. \nThis year these banners will not only be on parade leading lodges but we will also showcase them in a unique outdoor art gallery. They will form the backdrop to our Twelfth Platform and Field\, and we encourage the crowds to visit our open air exhibition and enjoy not only on the artistry and skill of the banner painters and makers but also to reflect on the messages and meanings behind the images. \nWatch and learn the meaning and message behind each banner and the stories of how they are made. Often as they are paraded each year spectators don’t have the time to study each banner as one follows fast upon another. So take your time this year as we show a selection of our lodges banners and build an exhibition which will not only tell the story of each lodge but build to tell the whole story of our faith\, history and Orange story.

SUMMARY:Launch of William III - Life & Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The Twelfth Day has been chosen to launch the Institution’s exciting William III – Life & Legacy Programme. This year we are marking the 375th Anniversary of the birth of King William III\, Prince of Orange. His life and legacy is the focus of today – the Twelfth as we mark his victory at the Battle of the Boyne. However we must widen our perspective of the Prince of Orange and see him in his European and International context. His life’s work and achievements protected Protestantism\, defined Democracy and formed the foundations of the modern world. We will be spending the next year getting to know the King whose name we proudly bear. \n \nOur Imperial Grand Master will launch the Programme in the Twelfth Field and outline our plans for the next year. The programme will include Engagement with communities\, class rooms and media commentators to Educate and Entertain as we celebrate and commemorate his life and legacy. Join us on a journey which will follow the life and even the very footsteps of King William III. Every journey must start with a first step and as we step out this Twelfth in Portglenone we will be beginning a journey of discovery as learn more about what motivated and empowered the Prince of Orange. \n \n
