Mod stewards

The local organising committee for Mòd nan Eilean Siar 2016 is appealing for volunteers willing to help out as stewards during the festival in October.

Even assistance for a half day would be welcomed, say organisers. A briefing meeting will be arranged to offer training for potential stewards.

Norman MacDonald, chair of the local organising committee said: “The Mod, which is the premier festival of Gaelic language and culture, was last held in the Western Isles in 2011 and attracted approximately 2,800 visitors and a further 2,500 residents attended competitions and concerts.

"A great deal of management and co-ordinating work is required to ensure that competitions and events run safely and smoothly, therefore we would ask anyone who feels they can give of their time during the week of the Mod to get in touch with us.”

For further information and to volunteer, please contact Sgioba na Gàidhlig at Comhairle nan Eilean Siar on 01851 822615 or dnicleoid@cne-siar.gov.uk
