Provost's Welcome
A very warm welcome to Renfrewshire and to the fourth year of the Glynhill Ladies International Curling Competition.
There are fourteen teams from overseas, six from Scotland, including the team skipped by Eve Muirhead, three times World Junior Champion and skip of Team GB in the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver.
Braehead is not only a spectacular venue for curling, it also offers you, if you have time, the opportunity for some retail therapy with an extensive range of shops in the shopping mall.
Forgive me if I appear slightly parochial but I want visitors to spend more time in Paisley. There is a massive regeneration of the new town centre place at present which will benefit the whole town - businesses and residents alike. Building on the town centre's many strengths, the council has a long term strategy to transform it from a primary retail centre to a diverse and contemporary mix of uses and functions. One of the aims of our strategy is to bring vacant and underused premises back into use. The initiative seeks to establish Paisley as Scotland's first Town Centre Outlet Town.
I hope you will have the opportunity to explore our heritage and see something of Paisley Abbey and the Museum - Paisley Abbey was the site of one of the first curling matches!
I trust everyone involved has a successful and enjoyable competition in Renfrewshire. I would like to thank the organisers who have worked so hard to ensure that this year's event maintains the high standard of previous years.
