12mh-19mh DAMHAIR AN COMUNN GAIDHEALACH J? v ® TENNENT CALEDONIAN BREWERIES LTD Brewers since 1556 Nothing stands still - except quality. That was the goal of the Tennent family when they first became maltmen and brewers in Glasgow in 1556. In 1776 John and Robert Tennent expanded the family business into Drygate premises and quality remained their ideal when in 1793 they took over Wellpark Brewery which had supplied the ales that refreshed "each and every one" of Prince Charles Edward’s army camped on Glasgow Green in 1745. It was quality that made Tennent’s Lager, first introduced in 1885, into a world-beater, gaining it export markets in almost 100 countries. The Empire Exhibition of 1938 launched the first draught lager, and over recent years Tennent’s range has expanded steadily. But never at the expense of quality. That’s Tennents watchword, and has been for more than 400 years.

Tha am Mod a sior fhas. Nuair a bha e an seo an 1897 agus 1903 cha do mhair e ach aon latha air gach turus. Thill e an 1912, ghabh 1169 pairt agus ruith e airson tri laithean, a’ chiad latha airson na cloinne. An 1923 agus 1928 bha feum air ceithir laithean. Ann an 1936, 1949,1957,1966 agus 1972 an uair bha e an seo a rithist bha Diar-daoin is Di-h-aoine de dh’aon sheachdain airson na cloinne agus Di-ciadain, Diar-daoin agus Di-h-aoine den ath sheachdain airson nan inbhich. O chionn ceithir bliadhna, mas math mo chuimhne, thainig Comataidh a’ Mhoid gun cho-dhunadh gum bitheadh e freagarrach a’ chlann sna h-inbhich a chuir san aon sheachdain, a’ toirt cothrom do na h-aoisean co-mheasgachadh, agus am Mod a thoiseachadh air an Di-sathairne roimhe sin le fuaim is faram is ard spiorad nam piobairean, nam fidhlearan agus luchd innil-ciuil eile. Tha an structur seo ag obrachadh air leth math. Am bliadhna bithidh corr is 3000 farpaiseach a’gabhail pairt sa Mhod a’ toirt moran tlachd is toil-inntinn do mhuinntir a’ bhaile agus do luchd leantail a’ Mhoid. Ach tha meudachd a’ Mhoid na chuis iomagain dhuinn a thaobh cosgais. Tha e na uallach mor air coimhearsnachd sam bith corr is £30,000 a chruinneachadh, gu sonraichte ann an tim gainne airgid san duthaich. Ach se sin an cnap mor a tha dhith airson tuarasdail, cosgais oifis, cleireachd is siubhail agus gach cosgais eile co-cheangailte ris a’ Mhod. De am fuasgladh airson an duilgheadas? An toir buidheann obrach mhor bheairteach air choireigin an t-suim mar sponsor. Neo am faigh sinn taic o na riaghaltasan? Thug an Local Authorities (National Mod) Bill a chaidh troimh Thigh nan Cumantan an 1969 cead do na h-ughdarrasan ionadail cuideachadh airgid a thoirt seachad. Thuige seo cha tainig dad as fhiach on taobh sin. Bithidh sinn beo ann an dochas agus a sior stri airson cobhair fhaighinn. Tha am Mod ro chudthromach’s ro tharruingeach air son a leigeil sios. Tha feum air atharraichaidhean aidichidh sinn, ach sann air son a neartachadh s chan ann air son cli a thoirt bhuaithe. Anns an dunadh bu mhath learn taing a thoirt do Chomataidh Moid Inbhirnis air son an dealasachd agus air sou gach oidhirp a rinn iad a dheanadh cinnteach gum bheil gach ni deiseal agus ann an ordugh air son seachdain a’ Mhoid.

The National Mod continues to grow. From being a one day event when it was here in 1897 and 1903 it grew to 3 days in 1912 and to 4 days in 1923 and 1928. When it returned in 1936, 1949, 1957, 1966 and 1972 the children’s events were on the Thursday and Friday of one week and the adults’ events on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the following week. This pattern was changed about 4 years ago when it was decided that, in order to allow some intermingling of the ages, the children’s and adults’ events should be in the one week and that the Mod should start on the previous Saturday with the stirring uplifting music of the pipes, the fiddlers and other instrumentalists. This structure is very popular and the Mod programme is very full, spilling over from the afternoons into the evenings. This year some 3000 competitors will give a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment to the local people and to the large Mod following. The size of the Mod gives concern because of increasing costs. It is a huge burden for any community to raise in excess of £30,000, especially in an economic recession. But that is the stim which is required to meet salaries, office and travelling costs and all the other expenses connected with the Mod. What is the answer? Will some large prosperous company or firm give this sum in sponsorship? Or will support come from the state or from the local authorities? The Local Authorities (National Mod) Bill passed in 1969 enables local authorities to provide financial aid for the Mod. To date nothing very substantial has emerged from this source. We live in hope and continue to make strenous efforts to enlist support. The Mod is too important, too popular to be allowed to diminish. There is room for change, but any changes must be to strengthen the Mod, not to detract from its appeal and effectiveness. In conclusion I should like to thank the Inverness Mod Committee for their hard work and for their success in achieving their financial target and for having everything well arranged to enable us all to have a happy week. As in the past, we are greatly indebted to the sponsors who so generously support our festival each year, and we tender our grateful thanks to the following:— MacDonald & Muir Limited, Distillers Tennent-Caledonian Breweries Stafffinders Matthew Gloag & Son Limited West Highland Free Press Bruce Miller Musicsellers Alliance Building Society An Comunn Gaidhealach acknowledges the financial assistance of the Scottish Arts Council.
