The Renfrew FC walking group recently marked their fifth birthday.
Three of the original members, Brian, Ally and Graham were presented with a small commemorative award by Provost Lorraine Cameron, who in turn was presented with a pennant and Renfrew FC polo shirt as thanks for her attendance.
The group, which launched in 2021, helps locals build friendships through football, a cup of tea and biscuits.
Over 60 people now attend the group when it meets.

A statement celebrating the event read: "The Renfrew FC Walking Football group celebrated their fifth Birthday this morning [Wednesday] and were honoured to have Provost Lorraine Cameron in attendance.
"Provost Cameron spoke with many of the members of the group, who told her about what the group meant to them.
"From getting out in the fresh air and keeping fit as you get older, to building friendships and enjoying chats with a cuppa and a biscuit afterwards, the group has grown from a small gathering to now having over 60 members.
"Three of the original members, Brian, Ally and Graham were presented with a small commemorative award by Provost Cameron, who in turn was presented with a Pennant and Renfrew FC polo shirt as thanks for her attendance.
"Today’s usual biscuit selection was supplemented by some delicious cakes, baked by the mum of Callum, our youngest member.
"Needless to say they didn’t last long. Special thanks must go to the guys behind the group who put so much work into the weekly session, but also arrange several nights out throughout the year.
"Alan Kelly, Murray Morton, Hedley McNish and Tom Johnston have created a welcoming safe space and they are appreciated by all of the guys."
