An Comunn Gàidhealach (Falkirk Branch) give donation to Falkirk Junior Gaelic Choir
Published: 08 Jun 2009
The Falkirk Branch of An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association)
this week presented Falkirk Junior Gaelic Choir with a cheque for £750
to assist with their fundraising efforts in the run-up to this year’s
Royal National Mod.
The choir has been established in Falkirk for well over forty years and have worked hard at promoting the Gaelic language and culture in the area. They have a proud record of success at provincial and National Mods and are the only Junior Gaelic Choir to have attended every National Mod since they were founded. The choir had a very successful year again in 2008 at the Royal National Mod held in their home town of Falkirk.
The cheque, presented to choir member Katie Whitfield by Provost Pat Reid, treasurer of the local An Comunn Gàidhealach branch, will help the junior choir purchase the Falkirk District tartan for all the choir members.
Mary Ann Brown, Treasurer of Falkirk Junior Gaelic Choir and the choir’s Gaelic tutor said: The choir members and parents are very grateful to An Comunn Gàidhealach (Falkirk) for this generous donation. At present we are busy preparing for the Royal National Mod which is to be held in Oban this year. We are hoping to have the choir members all wearing the Falkirk District tartan at this year’s National Mod.”
Councillor
Angus MacDonald, Chairman of An Comunn Gàidhealach (Falkirk Branch)
said: “Over the years Falkirk Junior Gaelic Choir members have been
excellent ambassadors for Falkirk District, so it is with great
pleasure that we award this donation to the choir to help with their
plans to purchase the Falkirk tartan. I am sure the choir will continue
to go from strength to strength and we look forward to seeing future
successes at provincial and National Mods.”
