As we approach the Christmas period the season of Advent is<br />
traditionally a period of refl ection, and I would like to refl ect<br />
and thank all community activists for all that they bring to<br />
villages like Lochwinnoch, Howwood, and Kilbarchan. Be it as<br />
community councillors, litter pickers, youth group leaders or gala<br />
day organisers, I salute you all for the richness of commitment<br />
that you all contribute to our communities which make them<br />
better places to live. I realise these gifts are not given for praise,<br />
but rarely is praise given so I want to say thank you.<br />
I would also like to wish all my constituents across the ward, of all faiths and<br />
none, a very happy and joyous Christmas. As families gather around the tree let<br />
us all try and keep an eye on those, such as the very elderly, who may have little<br />
or no family. Please consider the vulnerable and less fortunate this Christmas<br />
and do all you can to help them. Family should be the keynote of every Christmas<br />
so please think of those you have and hold dear, and those that are no longer<br />
with us but that are sorely missed.<br />
I do not have advice surgeries in the month of <strong>December</strong> but constituents can<br />
get me at any time either by calling me on 07534 148224, or e-mailing me at<br />
cllr.andy.doig@renfrewshire.gov.uk. My advice surgeries will resume in January<br />
2019.<br />
Article Submissions<br />
The <strong>Advertizer</strong><br />
First of all, thank you very much to everyone who sends in their articles<br />
for The <strong>Advertizer</strong>. Each month we have plenty to choose from and,<br />
while we try to include as much as we can, some need to be cut back<br />
due to space restrictions.<br />
To make things easier for the little elves in the office, could we please<br />
ask if articles are submitted as text within the email. Ideally, articles<br />
should be no longer than 200 words, but we do appreciate that<br />
sometimes it is necessary for more to get your message across and we<br />
will accommodate if we can.<br />
And if sending in photographs, please send these as separate<br />
attachments to your email. If they are sent within a word<br />
document, we are unable to extract these to the high quality<br />
required for a good reproduction in print. These can be sent<br />
as JPG or PDF files, and 300dpi resolution is<br />
best, resized to within 8cm boundaries.<br />
If in any doubt, please call or email the office<br />
and the elves will be happy to advise you!<br />
Thousands turn out for Paisley Christmas<br />
Lights Switch-On<br />
More than 27,000 people fl ocked to Paisley town centre to enjoy this years’<br />
Christmas Lights spectacle.<br />
Families enjoyed a full day of free fun, with Renfrewshire’s Provost Lorraine<br />
Cameron carrying out the big switch on. She was helped by 11-year-old Skye<br />
Thomson, from Paisley’s Heriot Primary School, who won the annual Christmas<br />
card design competition.<br />
Earlier in the day a glittering parade with hundreds of tinsel-clad youngsters and<br />
Santa Claus and his reindeers wound its way through the town centre.<br />
Many families got an early start on Christmas shopping with the town centre<br />
shops open for business and The Urban Market at Paisley Abbey.<br />
The main stage featured entertainment from Capital FM DJs Des Clarke, Steven<br />
Mill and Garry Spence, with performances from family favourites Funbox, while<br />
the Princesses of Pop paid tribute to the music of Ariana Grande and Little Mix.<br />
X-Factor stars The Cutkelvins entertained the crowds just before the big Christmas<br />
countdown.<br />
