JUNE - Third place in both the mixed choral singing and puirt-a-beul competitions at the provincial Mod in Oban, Argyll. We were very reassured that our marks stood up well to some stiff competition. |
| SEPTEMBER - First place in both the mixed choral (Provost Archibald Brown Trophy) and puirt-a-beul at the provincial Mod in Lochgilphead, Argyll. Choir members were delighted to gain our first ever win - all the more so because, given our inexperience, it was quite unexpected! | |
| OCTOBER - Third place in the Sherrif MacMaster Campbell competition for rural choirs at the Royal National Mod in the Isle of Skye, competing against some of the top rural choirs in Scotland - the icing on the cake in our first full year of competition. (See the celebrations) |
