A spokesperson for the Lodge praised the hard work and commitment put in by all those involved in the project and stressed that the Hall reflected the positive approach from all those at Ballymaconnelly.

He said: “The old hall served a purpose but we had to expand to enable us to provide the sort of facilities necessary in this modern era.”

The opening will be followed by a series of events.

On Sunday there will be a service of thanksgiving and praise at the hall and on Tuesday night (July 3), members have been invited to Movanagher Fish Farm.

On Thursday (July 5), a Treasure Hunt has been planned with cars leaving the hall at 7 p.m.
