Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn, 2017 3

Bu mhath leam fàilte chridheil a chur oirbh aon uair eile don Mhòd againn an seo ann am Muile. Tha sinn daonnan cho taingeil agus cho toilichte gu bheil uiread a’ tighinn thugainn às gach ceàrnaidh den dùthaich airson pàirt a ghabhail anns na farpaisean.

Tha sinn a’ cur fàilte sònraichte orrasan a bhios a’ tighinn astar fada airson a bhith a’ cur taic rinn. Mar a bhios fhios aig cuid agaibh, ‘s e obair mhòr dha rìribh a th’ann a bhith a’ cur Mod sam bith air dòigh, agus tha mi toirt mo thaing dhuibh uile a tha gar cuideachadh tron bhliadhna. Cuideachd tha feum air suas ri dà fhichead neach-taic thairis air an dà latha airson deanamh cinnteach gun ruith na farpaisean gu rèidh. Ma tha duine agaibh a tha deònach cuideachadh sam bith a thabhann, nach leig sibh fios!!

Mo thaing cuideachd dhaibhsan a bhios ag ullachadh nam farpaiseach – clann is inbhich – airson a’ Mhòid. Ma tha sibh a’ dèanamh air Lochabar san Dàmhair, gum bu mhath a thèid leibh!!

Once more, I’d like to give a warm welcome to everyone who attends our Mòd here on Mull. We are always so pleased and grateful that so many people come to support us from all corners of the country. We give a special welcome to those who have travelled a long way to take part in the competitions.

As many of you will know, there is a huge amount of work involved in staging any Mòd, and I thank most sincerely all those who help, throughout the year. Almost forty people are needed over the two days to make sure the competitions run smoothly. If you are able to help in any way, please let any member of the Committee know.

Thanks also to all those who prepare competitors – young and old – for the Mòd. If you are going to Lochaber in October, the very best of luck!!
