An Orange Lodge has been barred from serving alcohol at fundraising events, including one this weekend, amid claims it breached previous licence rules and 'may not even exist'.
The two-day event at Blair Halls, Tranent, was due to be licensed under an application made on behalf of the Daughters of Israel LLOL 214.
However a meeting of East Lothian Licensing Board heard the application and another for an event in July on behalf of Tranent True Blues LOL 228 were both made by applicant Douglas Forsyth - who had already been granted 16 occasional licenses at the same venue in 12 months.
