We are a friendly group of board and card game enthusiasts who meet every<br />
fortnight on Wednesday evenings at the upstairs café bar of Amaretto in Bridge<br />

cover anything from developing your ancient civilisations, managing and racing<br />
your own NASCAR team or fishing in ancient Japan. Above all these are games<br />
where you are in control of your moves and your decisions are central to your<br />
game.<br />
Our meetings in <strong>June</strong> are on the 2nd, 16th and 30th<br />
at 8pm in the upstairs café bar at Amaretto in Bridge<br />
of Weir and if you have any questions or would like<br />

Last month I was given the great privilege of being reelected<br />
to serve as Member of the Scottish Parliament<br />
for Renfrewshire North & West, having received 14,718<br />
votes.<br />
I would like to firstly say thank you to everyone who<br />
put their trust in me. I will continue to serve as MSP<br />
representing the communities of Kilmacolm, Quarrier’s<br />
Village, Bridge of Weir, Houston, Crosslee Renfrew,<br />
Gallowhill, Langbank, Inchinnan, Bishopton and<br />
Erskine. I promise to serve my constituents in every<br />
way in which I can.<br />
My constituency office is open and my Monday<br />
morning telephone surgery has re-commenced - please call 0141 885<br />
2076 between 10am and 11am. Alternatively, if you require assistance<br />
with any matter, you can contact my office anytime on the same number,<br />
Monday-Friday 9am-5pm or e-mail Derek.Mackay.msp@parliament.scot.<br />
My constituency wide surgery programme will re-commence after the<br />
summer recess, during which I will be in every part of Renfrewshire North<br />
& West speaking with constituents about what local issues matter most<br />
to them.<br />
During the election campaign my team and I spoke to 9,007 residents. A<br />
number of local issues were raised with me, and I now intend to take these<br />
matters forward on behalf of my constituents. These issues included local<br />
road conditions, street cleaning, traffic management and street lighting,<br />
all of which are of course the responsibility of local authorities, however,<br />
I know just how strongly my constituents feel about these issues and it is<br />
my duty to stand up for them.
