54 Renfrewshire athletes set sail for Special Olympics World Games 2019 The entire Team Special Olympics Great Britain (SOGB) sailing squad for the World Games in 2019 is set to be made up of athletes training in Renfrewshire. Lewis Nicholson (Paisley), Michael Kelly (Paisley), Jamie Kearns (Clydebank), Shannon McGhee (Clydebank), Laura Carrick (Helensburgh, Lothian) and Darren MacGregor (Glasgow) will travel to Abu Dhabi as part of a delegation of 129 athletes set to represent Great Britain. All six of the athletes who will make up the sailing squad train at Castle Semple and this will form their base for their preparations for the World Games next year - supported by the coaching team at Castle Semple. Councillor Andy Steel, Chair of the Clyde Muirshiel Joint Committee, said: “It is a fantastic honour for these athletes to be chosen to represent Team SOGB at the World Games and this comes after a fantastic performance in Sheffield where they won two silvers and a bronze. “We’re extremely proud that these young people are training and learning at the top class accessible facilities we have at Castle Semple and we will do all we can to facilitate them as they prepare to face the best athletes from across the world.” The Special Olympics World Summer Games is the biggest global event for athletes with intellectual (learning) disabilities and takes place every four years. Team SOGB are one of 168 countries taking part and around 7,000 athletes from around the globe will compete in 24 different sports between 14-21 March 2019.

I can however suggest some ways to help reduce them a little bit for you, hopefully allowing you to put up a challenge against them. 1. Don’t ignore them. If you crave a food, the only sure-fire way to get rid of that craving is to eat it. I wouldn’t suggest stopping eating the foods you like completely, as it will never work. You end up craving it more and more and when you eventually give in you eat up more of it than they would have done initially. 2. Drink plenty of water. Thirst can often be confused with hunger or food cravings. If you feel thirsty your body is already in an early stage of dehydration. You want to do this consistently throughout the day, every day. 3. Consume more protein. Protein helps you feel fuller and satisfied for longer. So, meals that have a higher protein content can stem of cravings that can usually kick in not long after you have eaten. Studies have shown that an increase in protein can reduce cravings by up to 50%. 4. Avoid letting yourself get extremely hungry. We have all done it, you go to the supermarket when you are hungry, and you leave with food items higher in fat, sugar and salt. Hunger can be one of the biggest reasons we experience cravings. Eat regularly throughout the day. 5. Don’t buy it. Keep your worst craved food items at a distance. If it isn’t in the house – you can’t eat it. Even if you put something in a tin, at the back of the tallest cupboard, it is still there and accessible. 6. Look at alternatives. Can you consume an alternative food that is lower in calories and fat/sugar? For example, if you crave chocolate digestives… would a non-chocolate digestive stem the craving? If you crave a jam filled doughnut… would a ring doughnut stem the craving?

may 2018 t: 01505 613340 e: info@advertizer.co.uk Kilmacolm Golf Club’s First Female Captain Jane McDonald has taken on the prestigious role of first female Captain of Kilmacolm Golf Club in its 127th year. This picturesque club has had equal membership for 18 years and with over 130 lady members they are very proud of their female section. The Mum decided “if you can’t beat them join them” when her 2 boys took up the sport, 20 years ago, as youngsters. They enjoyed learning together and playing as a family with husband Douglas in their spare time and on Arran in their summer holidays. It was a wonderful way to get fresh air and KGC Capt Jane McDonald exercise with her children while learning a new sport that they could enjoy for many years as a family group. Jane who plays off a steady handicap of 20 said “Kilmacolm is such a friendly club for all the family and they are very proud of the large percentage of female golfers within their 700 members”. Kilmacolm caters for golfers of all standards and with a resident Professional providing lessons from age 6 years it is the perfect place to base yourself if you are a complete beginner or a scratch handicap golfer. There are plentiful competitions both at the weekend and mid week and the club have been forward thinking in arranging 9 hole competitions to suit those with a time pressure. Kilmacolm Golf Club continues to embrace the changes in today’s golfing world making sure their members are provided with the very best membership experiences. From equality to grass- roots golf all the way through with exceptional practice facilities and stunning course. KGC, Ladies Section Social Evening On Tuesday, 20th March, our Lady Captain, Sara Bishop hosted her social evening marking the beginning of the golf season. The entertainment this year were The Alleycats (St Andrews University’s oldest a capella group, and reigning Scottish a capella champions) who came to sing at the club. They sang a variety of songs (interestingly arranged), to a very receptive full house which the ladies thoroughly enjoyed. After the entertainment a delicious supper was served. It was lovely to have guests from both Ranfurly Castle and Old Ranfurly. Fingers crossed for a fun and successful season ahead! Old Course Ranfurly 18 of our Juniors attended the indoor golf centre in Glasgow for their annual social event on Sunday 15th June.

Over 350 people have attended over the winter period raising well in excess of £1,000 for our two charities - Women V Cancer and The Accord Hospice. We will confirm the final total in due course.

Bridge of Weir United 55 Bridge of Weir 2009s and 2010s held a joint Presentation Night in the British Legion Bridge of Weir Branch in February, where the kids and parents enjoyed great music from the DJ, a lovely buffet prepared by parents, and of course the prizegiving. Every child got a club trophy and a league medal to recognise their efforts, with special awards for each team as follows: 2009s • Players’ Player of the Year – Harris McCoist • Most Improved Player – Rory Cox • Coaches Player of the Year – Ryan Graham 2010s • Player of the Year – Joe Caldwell • Most Improved Player – Oliver Kerr We would like to thank parent and football legend Mr Alistair McCoist for presenting the trophies. Currently, we are hosting 5 pupils from Gryffe High School across our teams on volunteering placements for them to work towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards. This is something we hope to offer regularly in future, especially as they are such a great help to the coaches in keeping the kids rounded up! Bridge of Weir Utd is open to boys and girls of all ages. The new season started in March, but new players are welcome to join any time. Currently we have teams for most primary school years. Like any voluntary organisation, we desperately need adult helpers. To offer more age groups we need players and of course coaches, which does require a regular commitment of a couple of hours a week during the season, but it is incredibly rewarding as you see the children develop. But there are many other ways to help, even just occasionally, so please get in touch if you would like to know more. Please contact Joe Gibson on 07514 671904 or Ronnie Palin on 07584 275743. We are on Twitter @ BridgeofWeirUtd and on Facebook as Bridge of Weir United. @GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk
