HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SWIAOAA MESSAGE FOR THE ROYAL NATIONAL MOD It is with the greatest of pleasure that I join in welcoming the National Mdd to Airdrie. Having been brought up in Argyll, and having been a boy competitor at the Mid- Argyll and Kintyre local M6ds, I know how much the occasion is enjoyed by the Gaelic speaking community. One advantage of coming to the Lowlands is that the Celtic culture reaches beyond its traditional bounds and it will, I hope, make new converts to its channs. The warm-hearted people of Airdrie, whom I am proud to serve in Parliament, will give you all “Ceud Mile Fhilte”.

Member of Parliament for Monklands East and Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. 18 As chairman of Lanarkshire Develop- ment Agency, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 101st Royal National Mod which this year, is held in Airdrie. We are delighted to be sponsoring this internationally renowned celebration of Gaelic culture. My organisation is wholeheartedly committed to the economic regeneration of Lanarkshire. I hope we can be as successful in this goal as the Mod has been in stimu- lating the cultural regeneration of the Gael- ic language. People will always be any area’s greatest asset, and Lanarkshire is no exception. I am sure you will receive a warm and friendly reception from people in Airdrie which will make a lasting impression. On behalf of everyone in Lanarkshire please accept my best wishes for a successful and enjoyable week. I’m sure you will ‘Icut Aioutt^dCtuie have a super M6d within the Supercounty.

Come to Airdrie intent on enjoyment and we shall do all we can to make you stay memorable. Have a good time.

This is the Mod’s first visit to the Monklands District Council and the local people are determined to show visitors a real Airdrie welcome. I would wish to thank all the members of my committee for their hard work over the past 3 years; they certainly have made my job much easier. I would also thank Strathclyde Regional Council, Monklands District Council and all local trades and sponsors for their invaluable support. We look forward to a very enjoyable and successful Mod and are sure that, if this is your first visit to Airdrie, you will leave with warm and happy memories. D "TfC “RtoMcU Royal National Mod Convener - Local Committee 20 Message from Provost, Monkland District Council I am delighted to have this opportunity to welcome you to the Roy- al Airdrie Mod 1993. An occasion such as this is not possible with- out a great deal of hard work going on behind the scenes. I would like to take this opportunity to pay particular thanks to the local Mod Committee who, over the past few years, have worked tirelessly to bring this event to Airdrie. It is to their eter- nal credit that an event of this quality and scale has been possible within this District. We are delighted at the honour that An Comunn Gaidhealach have paid to the District by bringing the Mod to Airdrie this year. We hope that you enjoy a happy Monklands welcome and take this opportunity to avail yourself of some of the excellent facilities that are available here within the District. 7>'uuMi4t tyi&iM., (I’P

Welcome message for Airdrie Mod Committee From Dr David M Sanderson, JP, Convener of Strathclyde Regional Council It's a great pleasure to welcome the Royal National M6d to Airdrie, in the industrial heart of Strathclyde. This is the third time we in the region have had a chance to join in the festivities since 1990, when Govan was the venue for amemorable celebration of our native culture. Last year it moved to Oban, giving the region's northern centre an October to remember. In both cases, local people enjoyed sharing in the fringe activities, and the event sparked off an interest in the Gaelic language throughout the surrounding area. Airdrie may seem rather less obviously linked to the tradition than its two predecessors, but recent years have seen a remarkable growth in the number of students of the ancient language in these parts. But it's not only those who are flocking to evening classes run by our community education people who are set to benefit from the festival in their midst; anyone who appreciates music and poetry, who is concerned with our country's past and its future, or who simply enjoys a good party, will find plenty of scope in the fringe programme. I hope they, and the thousands of incomers who will bring a taste of the north-west to the central belt, will all have a splendid time at the Airdrie M6d. My best wishes to you all, and to the organisers who have made it all possible. Ceud Mile Fhilte - and Haste Ye Back. "VC Sattdcijott, ftp

Am measg iomadach cumhnant eile, tha dleasdanas romhainn gun cuir sinn mu choinneamh an t-sluaigh, an seorsa programan a tha iad ag iarraidh - programan a bheir fiosrachadh dhaibh, no togail inntinn, a' bhrosnaicheas iad no bheir gMre orra - no ma dh’ fhaoidte programan a ni a h-uile sgath dhuibh sin aig an aon km. Ciamar a tha sinn a' deanamh seo? (No bheil sinn ga dheanamh?) Tha sinn ag iarraidh stiuireadh air an luchd-coimhead. Tha sinn a' faighinn taic bho luchd-obrach. Tha sinn ag eisdeachd ris na craoladairean. Tha sinn a' measadh nam programan a tha a' tighinn mar coinneamh airson taic airgid. Aig a' cheann thall, tha sinn a' tighinn cbmhla agus a' cbmhradh agus a' deasbad fadaagus farsaing nar measg fhfcin gus an tig sinn gu co-dhunadh. Agus 'sann aon uair riamh a dh’ fhaillich oirnn tighinn gu aonta agus a b' fheudar don neach-cathrach tighinn a- staigh air a' chuis! Ach cho eadar-dhealaichte nam beachdan is gu bheil an CTG - agus's math gu bheil - tha aon rud sdnraichte ann a tha gar ceangal gu dluth agus 'se sin gu bheil an aon dualchas againn agus gu bheil sinn a' cur luach air an dualchas sin. 'S ddcha gu bheil sinne, mar Ghkidheal, buailteach air a bhith a' cumail an dualchas phriseil seo againn fh&in ach 'se dualchas a th' ann a bhuineas do dh’ Alba gu leir - dualchas a tha a' cur luach air coimhearsnachd, air ealantas, air sgoileireachd, air coibhneas agus air cairdeas. Agus tha muinntir bhaile Ardruigh - ged a tha am baile fhdin taobh a-muigh criochan na Gkidhealtachd - a' sealltainn, le bhith a' cur fkilte air a' Mhdd am bliadhna, gu bheil iad fhdin den bheachd seo cuideachd. Chan eil teagamh againn, nach bi na buadhan sin, a tha cho luachmhor, follaiseach ann an Ardruigh aig an km kraid seo.
