In these uncertain times, one of the most challenging things for people, young and old, is coping with the boredom and managing to fill their days in the absence of their normal routine. One aspect that affects a huge amount of people is the complete absence of sport - both for active participation....

Orange Societies at Northern Ireland's other main campuses are long established, so strong teams are in place to help any new Magee Committee hit the ground running.

Here is a post from UUC Orange Society from 2014 where an impressive figure was raised for charity in the Belfast Marathon relay.

All Orange Societies are always keen to welcome new members, so even if you come across our posts and you attend or hope to attend another campus, the link for those Orange Societies will be in our last few posts!

UUC Orange Society would like to thank everyone for the support given throughout the past year. Our last event was the Belfast City Marathon Relay and the society raised £310 for Clic Sergeant. We would like to thank all for their contribution as it going to a very worthy cause in Northern Ireland. Thanks :)

Today's feature piece on existing Orange Societies is the work done last year by UUJ Orange Society, as they raised around £400 for the poppy appeal on campus.

Other charities supported by Orange Societies have included Friends of the Cancer centre, Help for Heroes, Marie Curie amongst others.

The charity of the year is often a talking point at meetings, and a charity specific to the Maiden City could well be the first chosen by the new Society!

We are set up and ready to go for our last day collecting for the Poppy Appeal.

In order to get the message out of what can be gained and achieved through membership of an Orange Society, over the next few days we will share some stories of the existing societies and some of the events undertaken!

The planned Magee Orange Society should be of interest to current and incoming students alike. Employers have been known to look favourably on the organisational skills developed through society membership, as well as basic abilities around holding meetings and overcoming obstacles. Something which is often experienced most by brand new societies.

Today, Queen's and Jordanstown Orange Societies went on a joint society trip to the Walled City of Londonderry, visiting important sites such as St. Columb's Cathedral, the Appreciate Boys Memorial Hall, the Siege Museum and the Guildhall among other attractions. An enjoyable day was had by all, concluding our events for 2016/17.

This page has been established to gauge interest in the establishment of an Orange Society, at the Ulster University Magee Campus.

Orange Societies exist at most other University campuses in Northern Ireland and this is an exciting opportunity to be involved in our expansion!

Visit the below pages to see some of the work an Orange Society gets involved in. Membership of the Orange Order is completely unnecessary to join, indeed many choose to join simply to learn more about the values of Orangeism.

Societies in the past have ran marathons and climbed mountains for charity, held many social occasions, and promoted Orange Culture through educational visits, talks, even musical workshops.

Anyone interested in joining the society next year feel free to get in touch, a great way to meet people and develop new skills!
