54 The Advertizer Gordon Trophy Winners at Gleddoch The annual Gordon Trophy was won by the team of Roisin Black, John Smillie, and Gary Brown. Gents Captain Michael Donnelly, on the left of the picture, presented the trophy to Roisin and John. Habits A habit is a routine or behaviour that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. For example, brushing your teeth before you go to bed or putting the kettle on when you go into the kitchen first thing in the morning. We are all creatures of habit, and we all have different ones. The only thing we probably all have in common with them is that we all have some bad ones we could afford to lose. Bad habits are hard to break, here are my top 5 tips to help you potentially break yours. 1. Understand. Understanding why we have bad habits in the first place is important. A lot of them can be formed out of stress and/or boredom. Be conscious about when a bad habit is happening and acknowledge how you feel at that time. 2. Replace, don’t eliminate. You can’t just eliminate a bad habit, you must replace it with a new one that provides a similar but healthier benefit. For example, if you eat chocolate when you become stressed, it is almost impossible to give that up. You need to insert a new habit to help handle it. 3. Start small. Be patient. Instead of making big dramatic adjustments, try focusing on one habit at a time and take small improving steps to change it. For example, you can’t go from having a chocolate biscuit with every cup of tea to absolutely nothing – it won’t last long term. Try changing the biscuit initially to something with less calories in it. 4. Remind yourself. When willpower fades we fall into our bad habits. Often towards the end of the day when you could be at your weakest point. Set reminders to avoid situations before it is too late. 5. Change your environment. Changing your route to work to avoid going past the Starbucks or changing your walk round the office to avoid the vending machine will help stop you gravitating towards them as you would usually do. Avoid the triggers. Everyone has their own habits, some good, some bad. Find the ones you want to change and take the steps to do so. Lesley Handley, FitSmart Fitness Ltd.

November 2018 t: 01505 613340 e: info@advertizer.co.uk Strathgryffe Squash Player wins European Junior Title John Meehan, a member of Strathgryffe Tennis & Squash club won his first European Junior Squash title, taking the Boys Under 17 Nordic Junior Open held recently in Malmo. His performance in the quarter finals was watched on a live stream by many Strathgryffe members, when John moved into his first European tour final, up against the U17 top ranked junior in Europe and number 1 seed, another Czech player Marek Panacek. The final was again streamed live so Strathgryffe squash players, including one in Miami, were able to see John in action as he attempted to bring a European squash title to Houston for the first time. Despite the best efforts of his opponent John had enough in the tank to take the 3rd game 11-9 and with it his first European title. Not one to rest on his laurels, the day after winning in Malmo John was back on court in Houston passing on his skills as he took a squash camp for the next generation of Strathgryffe juniors. Kilmacolm Golf Club Prestigious Scottish Event “Scottish Women’s County Finals” held at Kilmacolm Golf Club In mid-September, Kilmacolm Golf Club were delighted to host the Scottish Women’s County Finals comprising the top four qualifying county teams in Scotland playing against each other over 3 days. Two of our own members Megan and Eilidh Briggs were in the Renfrewshire Team and the club were delighted Renfrewshire qualified making it an even more exciting tournament. In challenging weather, Aberdeenshire were worthy winners just holding off the close efforts of the other three teams. All teams highly praised the condition of the course and the warm welcome received in the clubhouse. The Club were very grateful for the support of all the volunteers and supporters for this prestigious event. Kilmacolm Golf Club Ladies On the Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd September Romy Erskine made her Scottish debut in a U16/14 friendly against Wales at Ratho Park. She lost her Saturday morning foursomes match but bounced back to win her afternoon singles and Sunday single match to be Scotland’s top point scorer. Sadly the team lost but all the girls had a fantastic time. Macmillan Coffee Morning Thank you to all the ladies for their tremendous support of the Macmillan Coffee morning that was held at the club on Friday 28th September. We had some superb bakers from our ladies members and the final amount raised was an amazing £856.26. Thank you also to Lynda Bradley, the kitchen staff for the tea and coffee supplies and to our wonderful hostesses, Sylvia, Carolyn and Netta, without them the event would never have happened. Macmillan Cancer Support is such a worthwhile cause and we are delighted we could take part in the Worlds Largest Coffee Morning. Paisley Pirates Image: Al Goold Photo 55 Paisley Pirates have added a cosmopolitan element to their team with the addition of three foreign players to their ranks for the Scottish National Ice Hockey League season. Austrian Felix Huber, Finn Sami Harju and Slovak Karol Divok have all been signed following a change in the rules which now permit a maximum of two foreign players in any match, the remainder of the team roster made up from the usual local talent. The club faces tough challenges at Braehead Arena in November with the visits of Dundee Tigers on Sunday 4th November, Dundee Comets the following Sunday (11th November) with Aberdeen Lynx providing the opposition on Saturday 1st December. All Sunday matches commence at 5pm, with Saturday fixtures starting at 6.30pm. Walk of Hope for Scottish Huntington’s Association On 15th September Margaret Moncrieff and friends did a sponsored Walk of Hope along the banks of the Clyde in Erskine to raise funds for Scottish Huntington’s Association (SHA). SHA is the only Scottish charity dedicated to helping people affected by Huntington’s disease (HD). A diagnosis of Huntington’s can be devastating news, meaning as it does that you will very gradually become more dependent on care over the course of 15 to 25 years. In addition, it is genetic and every child of a person with the condition has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. This means that other members of your family may also develop the condition. In layman’s terms HD is like having motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s and elements of Alzheimer’s – all at the same time. While there is no cure, there are now real hopes of a treatment but it will be many years before these drugs are available. Even once treatment is available, the families affected by HD will continue to need the support of SHA. Donations to date amount to £1,500 which is a marvellous result. Very many thanks to all who contributed. As ever, further donations will still be welcomed directly or at the following JustGiving page https://www.justgiving. com/fundraising/ margaret-moncrieff8 @GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk
