Through the generosity of a member of the "Friends of Sloan's House", a new till and printer has recently been procured for the "Museum of Orange Heritage", Loughgall. The previous till had been in place since we opened in 2015 and some of the software thereon was obsolete.

Many thanks to Adam Currie for arranging the new equipment which is much more user-friendly, and the tuition for our Volunteers.

The Directors of the "Museum of Orange Heritage" at Sloan's House are deeply saddened by the passing of Joe, a past Director. He was very much involved in the early days of the Museum and was a great helper and source of encouragement.

The Directors and Volunteers convey their deepest sympathy to his wife, Priscilla, his sons and the family circle.

Matthew 25: 23 "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

The Officers and Brethren of the County Grand Lodge are deeply saddened at the sad passing of their highly-esteemed Past Deputy County Grand Master, Wor Bro Joe Campbell, after a long illness.

Joe served with distinction as County Grand Secretary from 1980 to 1996 and as Deputy County Grand Master from 1997 to 2017.

He was the epitome of an Orangeman and a great friend and brother to many within the County.

We extend our sincere sympathy to his wife, Priscilla, his sons and the wider family circle.

Rev 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, not crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
