The day will commence with tea, coffee and a hot roll, which will be provided from 12 noon onwards (during registration) followed by 18 holes of golf (Shot gun start 1.30pm). In the evening, relax with your team over a three course meal followed by prize ceremony and charity auction. This event is organised to raise much needed funds for the ongoing work of Teen Challenge Strathclyde. Teen Challenge Strathclyde is active in the field of drug prevention by providing drug education to thousands of school children each year. It also works with many churches and communities to help them provide young people in their area with the right information to make the right choices. Through a network of ‘coffee-bar’ buses, volunteers operate at street level to befriend and help people with drug abuse and alcohol problems. From these contacts we are able to refer people to residential programmes throughout Scotland and the UK. If you are interested in supporting the charity and wish to enter a team in this year’s event, please complete the booking form (see Facebook photos) and either scan and email to golf.tcs@gmail.com or post to the address shown. Please note only once a deposit has been paid, can we guarantee a place for each team. David Currie, Golf Co-ordinator, Teen Challenge Strathclyde - Email: golf.tcs@gmail.com Last year’s golf event raised an amazing amount of £9,000 - Thanks to all who participated. Quarriers United FC Quarriers United FC has been running now for 13 years and the club continues to grow on its ethos of “all-inclusive football for all young players and having fun”. The club infrastructure has continually developed, having our own pitches at both 11-a-side and 7-a-side and changing rooms and a very supportive committee to keep the club running. However to push on into the next period for the club we need to find local parents who want to assist in providing local developmental football for children. The club are happy to support people who want to volunteer by helping them with coach development and team set up. Over the years we have supported young coaches who are keen to learn, with local lad Nick Loftus starting his coaching at Quarriers and now a professional coach in Norway. “It has been a fantastic journey thus far and it is amazing to watch the under 19’s go from wee boys to now playing as young men understanding football and also learning the important life skill of teamwork.” says coach Graham Robertson.” “Quarriers Utd has built up a great local presence and is admired within local football. It is now time for another generation of parents and volunteers to step forward and help to provide local football for young people. We have the infrastructure and we are prepared to support volunteers in every way possible to ensure the club continues to flourish and children get a chance to play locally” says QUFC Chairman Stewart Cumming.

@GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk april 2017 Castle Semple Sailing Club Open Day / RYA Push The Boat Out Day / Mini Dinghy Show - Sunday 14th May Ever fancied trying dingy sailing or other watersports? Come and try on Sunday 14th May at Castle Semple Sailing Club, Lochwinnoch 10.30am - 4pm. Castle Semple Sailing Club has a variety of dinghies which you will be able to see both on and off the water. For further info and book a sail contact dawn@ castlesemplesc.co.uk. During the winter months the Club has enjoyed a visit to Greenacres courtesy of Erskine Curling Club, met regularly for badminton and held its Whacky Winchester Pursuit Series followed by the Winter Series. The first week of the winter series drew out a total of 12 boats, including 3 vortexes, GP14, Dart, Phantom, Laser, Vareo, Enterprise. The first race was fiercely contested with Mark in the dart way ahead pursued by Colin and Steve C in the vortex fleet, but alas they were not far enough ahead. The second race saw 3 less boats, leaving only 1 vortex (Angus), but if that fleet keep up their appearances could be a very interesting season. The following week with Storm Doris out of the way all was looking good for Sunday when ... late on Saturday night Storm Ewan suddenly appeared on the weather map. On arriving at the club house on Sunday morning the usual suspects were found huddling inside muttering “ah well looks like soup and cake and heading back up the road” ..... So the soup was had and more suspects arrived and as the rain and wind lashed at the club house there were more mutterings ..... “Hmm I’m not going out in that” .... and similar comments. Even the keenest were definitely not looking keen to go out. Then a GP sailor arrived eager for an race - although he was a little perturbed that his crew i.e., Arthur “have you seen the forecast” had not shown any sign of arrival, likewise Jon (Vago) was patiently awaiting the arrival of his crew Iain. Eventually 1 GP and a fleet of toppers took to the water. On the third week, the forecast had been changing on a daily basis, but hopes were high for a reasonable sail. It looked promising, but sadly the wind dropped Cadet Hector arrived eager for his first sail of the year, but was soon pacing the compound with the rest of the group. There was much gnashing of teeth in frustration so soup and rolls were consumed whilst to race or not to race was debated. Eventually some wind appeared .... and it was declared that we were racing.....however... By the time we were all changed and ready to go....the wind had other ideas and enthusiasm dwindled and ...returned.. Boats were launched and drifted over the start line ..... Toots for starting the race were all over the place, clearly the race officers of the day were testing the sailors’ intelligence. However eventually 8 boats started a slow drift up to buoy 2; 3 lasers, 1 enterprise, phantom, 505, MV2, Vago. The wind did manage to pick up a little after buoy 2 in the first race but as I said after a short tea break (all that the OODs permitted us!) it was out again for a 1 lap second race. It wasn’t exactly an exciting sail but at least those who wanted a sail got out.

So what are the benefits? 1. It Burns More Fat! Overall weight training burns more calories than steady state cardio. You will burn fewer calories whilst actually weight training than you would doing two hours continuous treadmill activity, however, after a weight session your metabolic rate is increased meaning you will burn more calories for longer. 2. You can eat more! Training with weights makes your muscles denser and bigger [toned]. To develop and maintain muscle you need to eat sufficiently to maintain them. Muscle burns calories by their very existence, so by having a little more muscle it allows your body to handle more calories without the weight gain that they would normally bring. 3. Stronger bones! The pressure weight training puts on your bones encourages your body to invest in making your bones stronger. This counteracts the propensity for women to lose bone density from their thirties onwards; a process which speeds up after the menopause. Encouraging bone density helps to protect from bone fractures. 4. Stronger immune system Literature today shows a link between healthy habits associated with people who tend to undertake weight training and stronger immune systems. It is considered better eating habits, higher quality sleep, improved circulation and lower stress levels all assist the body to protect itself more efficiently. 5. You’ll age better! The points above all add up to you remaining stronger and healthier for longer. Your improved circulation helps to keep skin, nails and hair in good condition. Being in good sharp enables you to wear the clothes you want and generally feel better plus…… 6. More confidence! You will be physically stronger, have more energy and get less breathless when exercising [even when just walking]. You will also be less stressed and more likely to maintain a positive “can do” attitude towards tasks. When combined, this will make you feel and be perceived as being more confident within yourself.
