Join us as we take a trip down memory lane to look at what was happening in the area 10 years ago.
We delved into the Barrhead News archives to pick out some of the stories from over a decade ago.
Here are some photographs from our edition which was published on Wednesday, January 22, 2014.

The Melo Velo Club, a unique cycle and repair project, was set up by service users at the Barrhead Centre - a day centre for adults with additional support needs.
Its introduction saw kind-hearted service users at Thornliebank Resource Centre start making up food parcels, handing them out and working in the centre’s café to serve hot drinks to those who need them.
St Luke’s High School pupils provided a polished, youngster-friendly version of cult hit Grease.
Our photographer was on hand to catch the kids in full dress before the performance.
In an event at Barrhead’s Council Offices, residents dropped in to view artist’s impressions and architect plans, as well as put their questions to East Renfrewshire Council officers.
Rangers at Dams to Darnley led a twenty-strong crowd of walkers around the Barrhead Dams after setting off from Balgraystone Road.
On their two hour walk they took in everything from waterfalls to hardy winter wildlife, including some spectacular species of birds.
The £500,000, award-winning ‘mixed tenure improvement scheme’ was working to breathe new life into shared blocks across the area, with nearly 100 homes in Barrhead and Neilston benefitting.
