Summer Outing | 52 people took part in the Summer Outing 2019. We visited Brownlow House in Lurgan where we had a tour and morning coffee. We then travelled to Hillhall Presbyterian Church for an excellent lunch. Unfortunately, the coach broke down but the coach company arranged alternative transport for us to the Museum of Orange Heritage in Belfast where we had a guided tour and onward to Orangefield Presbyterian Church for dinner. All the food provided during the day was excellent and both tours were very interesting and informative. |
