Well folks there we have it, the arch is up. Looks great doesn't it?

A brilliant achievement to get it up after raising £30k in around 18 months. Will be great to see all the photo's off it on here over the parade season 🇬🇧

Well done to everyone who contributed to making this happen, on what is a special year for the town in hosting the twelfth.

A special thank you to all the people that turned up yesterday morning to allow them to get the arch up.

The opening of the arch is Wednesday 3rd July during our annual Somme parade, which leaves from King William III orange Hall at 7:30pm

Hope to see a good crowd down 😃🇬🇧🧡💜

Thank you all

Here is a wee glimpse of our orange arch which will be getting erected this weekend. The image boards are away to the printers then it's all good to go up on Saturday morning.

In the space of 18 months a group of around 12 people formed an arch committee and aimed to have the arch up for the 12th July with the parade being in our home town this year. We have raised £30k in that time and would like to thank everyone that has supported/sponsored/donated over that period.

Thank you

Arch Committee

P.s. This Saturday morning from 7am the arch goes up and there may be traffic delays around Joymount Link.
