It is with great disappointment that the Officers of General Committee have taken the decision to cancel the annual procession to commemorate the Relief of Londonderry, scheduled to take place on Saturday 8th August 2020.

Portadown True Blues committee has taken the decision to cancel our Annual parade on the 20th of June in line with government guidelines during this covid-19 pandemic!

The officers of the County Antrim Grand Lodge would like to inform our members, supporters and members of the general public that because of the ongoing restrictions due to the Covid 19 Pandemic we are cancelling all events including 12th July celebrations.

Unfortunately the Rising Sons of the Valley Flute Band has taken the decision to cancel our Annual Band Parade, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday 16th May in Kilkeel.

The Sovereign Grand Master of the Royal Black Institution, Rev William Anderson, has confirmed that, in line with the resolution passed by the Central Committee on March 14, 2020, and following ongoing review of that resolution, all demonstrations, processions and services scheduled to take place over the summer of 2020 have been cancelled.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that we are cancelling our parade this year. Hopefully we will be back next year.

We are sure this won’t come as a shock or surprise but the Officers and Members of the Freeman Memorial F.B can now confirm that our annual parade scheduled for Friday 24th April 2020 has been postponed.

As everyone will already know with the way this year is going. Due the the Coronvirus outbreak.
