Loyal Orange Lodge 5

I would like to push for a more family inclusive night next year. My hold back is getting a sitter for Nathan. Since Karen's mum had her brain tumour I don't feel right asking her as he can be a handful at times, and my parents live in Cambridge thus making it a very long drive just to have a child ...

It was mentioned last meeting that many times this forum has turned into just a three-way between us because of the lack of people getting involved as well. Was hoping to somewhat shame them into getting involved...hasn't worked yet

Are we not taking part in the Rememberance Day parades and wreathe layings? I've no heard anything from any of the lodge members and I would assume its this weekend.

It was alright...I loved the scene where he tells the nun

'I'd invite you in but I don't people to think you're a floozy'

Oh come on now Rob, sometimes a man just has to wear stretchy pants.

Nachoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's going out as Dr. Who on Hallowe'en so it could be entertaining. I could always show up in an old wrestling outfit...granted 2.5 stone oversized

I can't. Karen is gone to Montreal for work and its just me and Nathan. Unfortunately they won't allow a 9 year old to come and I can't get a baby-sitter.

Agreed. The opening of the lodge with the degrees is a nice touch. Honestly, even though it takes some time, I think we should keep it permanent.

Some brethren were worried that if we changed at the last minute visiting brethren or those brothers who aren't always in the loop will be unaware and show up on the 17th regardless

We took a pic of all the brethren in attendence outside with the flags and then took one of all the brethren with guests. I can't remember who's camera was used.

Its sad really. We had mentioned it in two seperate lodge meetings yet the posts tend to be mainly yourself with Robert and I lagging in behind. The dance was good and the food was splendid.

Pies and peas are always good for any meal

Anyone remember the food being offered at the dance? The Missus is bugging me about it and I cannae remember.
