Lockhart joins ‘Big Breakfast’ at Banbridge

Carla Lockhart MP • January 17, 2024

Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart joined over 300 people at a ‘Big Breakfast’ Fundraiser at Banbridge Orange Hall on Saturday, in aid lodge funds.

Speaking after attending, the DUP representative said:

“The ‘Big Breakfast’ events in Banbridge Orange Hall are now known to be unmissable. The breakfast served up is certainly ‘big’ and the food is absolutely delicious.

It is fantastic to see Orange Halls in our towns and villages buzzing with activity and very much at the heart of the community. Banbridge Orange Hall is a wonderful example of this and to make this happen requires a huge amount of volunteer time and dedication from Lodge members. The brethren in Banbridge are to be commended for the range of activities that are hosted in the hall on a regular basis.

My thanks go to the kitchen team and all those who made this event such a success. I am very much looking forward to the next one already.”
