Cambuslang BC is indeed honoured to have amongst its members Provost Russell Clearie MBE JP              On Wednesday 23 May 2007 at the first meeting of South Lanarkshire Council since the May elections Depute Provost Russell Clearie was appointed Provost of South Lanarkshire Provost Russell Clearie is no stranger to the role having served as Depute Provost in the last administration. A former steel worker, Russell and his wife Pam, who is also a councillor, have been involved in a wide range of community organisations and charities over the years. Provost Clearie was one of the three councillors elected on 3 May to represent Cambuslang West. He said: "I'm absolutely delighted - and very much looking forward to the next four years. I hope to be a great ambassador for South Lanarkshire and to spend a lot of time out and about working with senior citizens, young people and the voluntary sector in particular."    Provost Russell Clearie & his wife Councillor Pam Clearie May 2007                                                                                They have been married for 36 yrs and have two children and one grandson.                                                                                ~ ~ ~ Provost Clearie added: "One of my priorities as a Provost will be to bridge the gap between young people and senior citizens. I think there has been a culture shift over the years and the gap between the young and old has grown. I know from intergenerational work I've been involved in through my role as South Lanarkshire's Spokesperson for Older People that you can do something about that - and when you give young and old opportunities to work together on a project, they gain so much from each other."

Russell served four years as Depute Provost and carried out a wide range of duties within the community, from visiting residents celebrating their 100th birthdays and 60th wedding anniversaries to hosting the community service awards and playing a key role in ceremonies such as Remembrance Day.              Russell was elected to South Lanarkshire in 1995 and represented the Cathkin/Springhall area up to 2007 when he then was invited to contest the Cambuslang West ward, which he successfully did.  He also chairs the South Lanarkshire Older People's Assembly as the council's Spokesperson for Older People.               Having worked in the steel industry for 42 years, he has played an active role in the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation and was its Chair for the Scottish Steel industry. He undertakes charity work for young and old and received an MBE for his services to the community from Her Majesty The Queen in 1998.
