This Month<br />

<strong>November</strong> is packed with Fireworks, Festivals, Fetes, Family Fun,<br />

Fantastic Christmas lights and Funny pantomimes. It’s amazing just how<br />

much goes on in such a small area. What a Fantastic community!<br />

We celebrate Bonfire Night with Glasgow Green Fireworks on Wednesday<br />

4th <strong>November</strong>, followed by Knapps Bonfire & Fireworks, Paisley Fireworks<br />

Spectacular and Bishopton Fireworks Display which are all on Saturday<br />

<strong>November</strong>, Renfrew and Linwood Xmas Lights both on Saturday 28th<br />

Please support this wonderful event as all the money raised goes to the<br />

groups involved on the evening - a host of volunteers giving up their time<br />

to raise funds.<br />

And don’t forget all our local pantos which are great fun and highly<br />

entertaining! So if you haven’t been to one yet, this is your last chance<br />

to get tickets! Check our ‘What’s On’ listings for details of all these local<br />

events - there’s plenty going on for all tastes.<br />

Although it seems a bit early to be thinking of Christmas, our next edition<br />

will be the last one for <strong>2015</strong>. So if you want to be in the magazine, please<br />

get in touch well ahead of the deadline date of Friday 13th <strong>November</strong>.<br />
