Athletics What are the Heavy Events? Scots have tested their strength against each other at Highland gatherings for centuries. King Malcolm Canmore, who began his reign in 1057, is credited with initiating crude forms of today's Scottish Highland Games athletic competition as a means of improving the abilities of his military. While the games had become festive occasions by the sixteenth century, they were still seen as a way for kings and chiefs to choose the best men for their retinues.
The events themselves make use of implements easily available in Highland communities in the pre-industrial age. Box weights, commonly used to weigh grains and other crops, blacksmith or quarry hammers, stones and logs were all put to use in tests of strength and power.

MÒD nan LOCHAN MÒRA 2011 Mòd nan Lochan Mòra 2011, our ninth Ohio Mòd, will take place at the Ohio Scottish Games, Friday, June 24th to Sunday, June 26th.We are delighted to welcome back Paul McCallum as our adjudicator for this year. This is Paul’s second Ohio Mòd, he judged our second Mòd which took place in Kent in 2004.A Brief History of the MòdThe word Mòd (pronounced like the name Maud) is the Gaelic for assembly, meeting, or a court at which local tenant disputes were settled. More recently it has been used to refer to a Gaelic song and language competition. The Start of the Mòd in ScotlandSince the speaking of Gaelic in Scotland had been forbidden for many years the language was in danger of becoming extinct. In an effort to prevent this, the Royal National Mòd was started in 1896. Its aim was to encourage the learning of Gaelic song and poetry, and the use of the written language. Today the Royal National Mòd is a weeklong event, drawing entrants from all over the world. It has resulted in a great revival of Gaelic, to the extent that it is now being taught in schools, with the first all Gaelic High School opening in Glasgow five years ago. The Mòd in North AmericaAbout 22 years ago members of the Gaelic Society of North America started the National Mòd in America with the support of the Royal National Mòd in Scotland. This American Mòd, which takes place at the Ligonier Highland Games in Pennsylvania, has evolved into a three-day event, with competitions in song, poetry, storytelling and prose. The National Mòd in America is most supportive of regional Mòds throughout the United States, in order to give Gaelic learners from distant locations the opportunity to participate in Mòds closer to home. The Mòd in Ohio The Great Lakes Gaelic Society was formed in 2003 to promote the learning of Gaelic and to organize an annual Mòd in the Great Lakes Region. A number of people were already learning Gaelic and had expressed an interest in participating in a local Mòd. Mòd nan Lochan Mòra (The Great Lakes Mòd) is modeled on the National Mòd in America and has evolved into a three day event. Although the aim of regional Mòds is to attract local contestants, we still have entrants traveling from other states to compete in our Mòd. The Mòd chair and adjudicator select the categories, songs and poems for the competition. This year at the Ohio Mòd: an invitation!Please come in and listen to the song competition. We are located in the Fairgrounds office, building 48, to the left of the main gate as you enter the grounds. Just follow the signs to the Gaelic Mòd. We close the inner doors to minimize noise, just enter quietly at any time, we have seating for your comfort, and our building is usually cooler than it is outside! Please come and join us at a waulking demonstration in the afternoon upon the completion of the song competition. It will take place in the Performing Arts Building. Come right in and join us, learn how to shrink tweed to the driving rhythms of the ever popular waulking songs. Looking for a fun way to end your day at the Ohio Games? Join us for a Mòd Banquet and Ceilidh at the Oberlin Inn on Saturday evening, from 6:00 p.m. till 11:00 p.m. Cost $27.00 per person, children from 3 12 years old, $13.50, under 2 years old, $3.00 service charge.

Webpage updates for 2011 Clan Area.doc
Each year the traditional Gathering of the Clans takes place in the Clan Village area of the Ohio Scottish Games. About 50 clans and societies gather to assist the general public with family, genealogy and membership questions pertaining to their clan/society. In addition, a genealogy group is set up in the beginning of the clan area to help with genealogy questions and to assist with any clan connection a person might have. We welcome all visitors to the Village and look forward to helping you find your Scottish roots!
On Friday evening following the Concert there is a traditional Torchlight Call to the Clans that are with us that evening. On Saturday, Games Day, there is a Parade of Tartans before the Opening Ceremonies. The clans are called again as they march in front of the grandstand area. Anyone wearing their family tartan is welcome to march with their respective clan if it is set up in the Clan Village. We gather at 10:45 at the entrance to the Village in alphabetical order to prepare for our march.
Please contact me at the above address if your clan is interested in registering for a tent space in the Clan Village. Yours Aye, Donne
