3 Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn, 2015

Chan urrainn dhomh creidsinn gu bheil bliadhna ann bhon a bha mi a’ cur fàilte oirbh don Mhòd againn ann an 2014! Co-dhiù, tha’n t-àm ann a-rithist, agus tha mi’n dòchas gu bheil fadachd oirbh uile a bhith gabhail pàirt ann am Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn 2015. Mòran taing do na h-uile duine a bhios ag obair ag ullachadh nam farpaiseach, clann agus inbhich; as an aonais, cha bhiodh am Mòd againn. Taing cuideachd dhaibhsan a bhios a’ cur taic ris a’ Mhòd ann an iomadh dòigh: le a bhith sa chathair aig farpaisean, a’ trusadh airgid, no a’ deanamh tì! Tha mi cinnteach gun còrd ur turas ribh, agus gum bu mhath a thèid leibh aig a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta san Òban.

I cannot believe that a year has passed since I was welcoming you to our Mòd in 2014! But that time is here again, and I hope you are all looking forward to taking part in Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn 2015. Many thanks to everyone who works hard preparing competitors, young and old; without these people, we would not have a Mòd. Thanks also to those who support the Mòd in many different ways: chairing competitions, collecting money at the door, or even making tea! I am sure you will enjoy your trip, and the very best of luck at the National Mòd in Oban.
