Local Mod Conference

Published: 27 Feb 2024

The inaugural Local Mod Conference was held at Eden Court in Inverness on February 24th and Local Mod delegates from across Scotland were in attendance. The Conference was opened by An Comunn Gàidhealach President, Maggie Cunningham. As well as providing an opportunity to get together and catch up on the latest Mòd news, delegates also had the chance to listen to inspirational talks from speakers across the Gaelic spectrum. Steven Kellow from Bòrd na Gàidhlig discussed Funding and how to effectively complete application forms. Fiona Dalgety, Chief Executive of Feis Rois talked passionately about community engagement and was later joined by Nicola Simpson and Abi Reid of Feisean nan Gaidheal who talked about volunteer engagement. Alex Tearse of Reefnet, explained how the Royal National Mòd marking systems work and demonstrated the online entry systems. James Graham, Chief Executive of An Comunn Gàidhealahc, discussed the streamlining of syllabus and adjudication issues.

Councillor Margaret Paterson representing The Highland Council presented a new prize of a day’s studio recording , to launch the new Dingwall Local Mòd, set to be held in September this year. Also launched was the new logo for the Dingwall Local Mòd and prizes were presented to the two young winners of the ‘Design a Logo’ competition, Lewis Stewart and Anna Calder.

Thanks must go to all who attended and we hope that they found the day interesting and useful. Thanks also to all the speakers and to the staff of Eden Court. We hope that this will become a regular event and provide a forum for Local Mòds to discuss their challenges and how to develop their Mòds themselves.
