MP joins local Lodges at fundraising breakfasts

Carla Lockhart MP • March 14, 2023

Local Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart has joined with two local Orange Lodges at two well supported fundraising breakfasts over the weekend. Events held by Loughgall District and Loyal Blue LOL 119 drew large crowds of supporters, who enjoyed a fine Ulster Fry.

Carla Lockhart said:

 

“I am always blown away by the support of the community to fundraising efforts right across Upper Bann and surrounding area.

 

On Saturday I had the pleasure of joining with the brethren of Loughgall District at their ‘Big Breakfast’. It was very pleasing to see the support from the local community for the District in their endeavours and fundraising efforts. A special mention for Barry McQueen and his team of volunteers who cooked up a sumptuous breakfast for everyone in attendance.

 

After Loughgall’s breakfast it was a drive across to Banbridge for the Loyal Blue LOL 119 Breakfast. Again the support was magnificent for the Lodge, who were raising funds for the wonderful B Positive. With over 150 breakfasts served up by the army of volunteers it was an incredible effort and the Lodge deserve huge credit for such a success.”
