There was a wide array of stalls including Houston Community Council, a dog show, and various competitions for horses, and cows as befi ts an agricultural show where local farmers can showcase their talents and breeds. Sometimes I think Renfrewshire Council forgets that while our towns have a proud industrial heritage and history, so too do the various village and rural communities in Renfrewshire also have a proud agrarian heritage and history. We are a county of rich diversity and I think it is good to celebrate what Renfrewshire farmers bring to us all. Whilst dog fouling can sadly be found in all areas I am very sad that recently many constituents in Houston have raised this matter with me, as one which is persistent and very noticeable. I have asked the community wardens to increase their patrols in Houston and ask all residents to be vigilant and report episodes of dog fouling to the community wardens. This is such a shame as dogs are fantastic for families and as a dog lover, and former dog owner, I am clear there are no bad dogs, just bad owners who need to be more considerate. I would really like to commend the work of Be Happy Houston, they tidy up local community areas, they do planting, and cut down bushes, and weeding, to help make Houston and Crosslee a better place. If constituents want to join them to help Be Happy Houston keep up their houston, crosslee & brookfield good work please look for their details on the Houston Community Council website at houstonvillage.co.uk Parlez Vous Francais French Conversation group meets every Wednesday from 9.30am till 12noon at Fox & Hounds.

This section is a 'Garden Of Gold' and it is bedecked with yellow and gold fl owers and shrubs which will bloom during the month of September. 'Garden of Gold' is a campaign designed to raise awareness of childhood cancer and, in order to do that, it appeals to the public to plant September fl owering plants. This is our contribution to that initiative. We hope you like it. houston, crosslee & brookfield Changes at Houston Post Office Houston Post Offi ce will change hands on the 2nd July.

Fleming - is once again holding it’s Annual Charity day on Sunday 8th July when 64 ladies from across Renfrewshire will compete in a Ladies Rinks competition - however the bowls are secondary on the day and our primary focus is to raise as much money as possible for the St. Vincent’s Hospice. As usual we will be having a large home baking sale and we would ask any members and friends who are skilled in this area to provide donations. We will also be holding a large raffl e and again would ask members, friends and local businesses to consider donating prizes and also it would be great if a large number of the general public would come along to the Bowling Club on the day to support this event by purchasing home baking and raffl e tickets. For more details on the home baking sale and to arrange home baking donations please contact Isabel Gilchrist on 01505 613316. For donations of raffl e prizes please contact John Gilchrist on 01505 613316. To purchase home baking items or raffl e tickets simply come along to the club any time between 10am and 5pm on Sunday 8th July. Over the many years the Bowling Club in Houston have been holding this Charity Day we have raised thousands of pounds for the very worthy cause in the name of the St. Vincent’s Hospice - with your help we hope to beat last year’s total of £1,315 this year. houston, crosslee & brookfield Who, Why, How?

Advertisement Feature The Importance of Eating Well Home Instead Senior Care works throughout Renfrewshire and Barrhead with an ambition to provide excellent support at home for the older generation, and to build the name of Home Instead as the most trusted company for personalised home care. Home Instead Senior Care provides a range of supportive services. Sometimes this includes the preparation of meals and encouraging a client to enjoy a healthy balanced diet. Where Home Instead are involved, we can ensure that clients are eating properly and monitor any changes in health and wellbeing. Our latest campaign aims to help and assist families who are providing care for their loved ones themselves, to be aware of an older person’s risk of becoming malnourished. The best way to ensure someone is eating a healthy balanced diet is to be there in person during mealtimes however, we know that when families are caring for their parents or relatives, there isn’t always enough time in busy schedules to sit and enjoy every mealtime together. Our guidance on Staying Nourished will hopefully provide some advice on ways to ensure your loved one stays healthy at home. Why choose Home Instead Senior Care? • Minimum one hour visits gives time to develop positive relationships • A reliable service with continuity of CareGiver to their clients • Carefully matched Caregivers to Clients To fi nd out more: If you would like some support in your own home, or have a friend or a relation who would benefi t from reliable, friendly and specifi cally trained CareGivers, call Paul Armstrong (Business Owner) or Alex MacCallum (Care Manager) on 0141 280 8210, or send us an email: info.renfrewshire@homeinstead.co.uk houston, crosslee & brookfield Houston & Killellan Agricultural Society What a great day was had by all, the weather brought the crowds to Houston and a successful show was the result.
