JUNIOR AND JUVENILE FUN DAY PICTURES

Following on from our outing to Loudon Castle last June, the Juvenile and Juniors chose Heads of Ayr as their venue for the Fun Day. Saturday 18th June began with a magnificent turnout at Kennedy Street for our traditional morning parade. Around a dozen bands in all their splendour accompanied the procession to Glasgow Green to board buses. The parade was a spectacle with the kids dressed up to the nines. The lodges participating in the William and Mary contest were an absolute picture. All credit goes to the superintendents and their assistants for the effort and dedication to ensure their kids looked the part and for kitting them out to competes for the best dressed Lodge.. It was a close run contest for both the competitions. However their can only be one winner and it was JLOL 89 District LOL 10 who won both catagories.

 

 

Congratulations to Jean Logan, her team and of course the kids. In congratulating the winners I would also congratulate all the lodges who turned out on a gloomy and dreary day. However the spectacle of the procession and the excitement shown by the kids made it a brighter proposition and by the grace of God it stayed dry for most of the day.

 

 

The day itself was brilliant even though the sun didn't shine. We were accompanied by some J&Js from County Grand Lodge of East Scotland who paraded with us in the morning and met up with the J&Js from County Grand Lodge of Ayrshire,Renfrewshire and Argyll at Heads of Ayr. We had a fantastic day with the facepainters working their socks off.

Traditional purveys was the order of the day and no expence was spared in the choice of goodies available for the kids.

 

Along with the Executive of County Grand Lodge I would like to thank the Superintendents, Monitors and the kids themselves for making this yet another successful day and look forward to next years day out.
