Every year, The Leader launches a Christmas campaign to help collect gifts and goodies for those who might be less fortunate than ourselves. Last year, we, and the charities we supported, were over-

whelmed by your generosity, after you kindly donated well over 300 gift-wrapped presents, hundreds of chocolates and cash that were all handed over directly to our dedicated beneficiaries for that year, mostly being the childrenÂ´s home in Elche.

Following a notice received from the Valencian government, pharmacists across the region are considering cancelling their industrial action, as long as they receive the latest offer made for their debt payment, before the 30th on November, 2012. The ministry of health has acknowledges the debt of 452.7 million euro to September, and states that this will be updated in March 2013. Within the payment schedule laid out in the document, the government will be receiving funds from Autonomous Liquidity Fund (FLA), and from that will pay the amount of 124 million euro, corresponding to the period from 16th of May to the 15th of June 2012. Then, during the month of December, once the next funding from the FLA is received, they will pay the amount of 109 million euro for the period from the 16th of June to the 15th of July 2012. In January 2013, payment of 176.6 million euro, corresponding to the periods between the 16th of July and the 15th of September will be paid and with respect to other payments for 2012, the Department stated that during the month of February 2013 they will pay the monthly amount for December 2012.

In addition, in the event that the Central Government in 2013 approve the new Provider Payment Plan, or similar mechanism, so that the regions can cope with payments due in 2012, and provided the mechanism allows for debt payments to pharmacies, the Government undertakes to pay prorated debt referred to above under that new and improved facility. The government also pointed out the difficulty in making payments to anybody during these financially strapped times, and, although they recognise the need to pay for pharmaceuticals, they have already made a significant payment to pharmacists during the year so far, but they must act in a responsible manner to satisfy the needs of everybody involved. In this letter, the government not only recognises the outstanding debt, but paves the way to a better payment plan than ever before, injecting liquidity into the cash flow of medical suppliers. A General Assembly of pharmacists has been called for the 30th of November in which it will be decided upon whether to halt their industrial action, or accept this propsed and vastly improved payment plan.

Continued from page 1 only covering children in need, but the entire family - mum, dad, brothers, sisters and even the pet cat or dog. As many families are struggling to cope in the current financial crisis, with unemployment at an all time high, workers being laid off on a daily basis, threats of eviction, starvation and the most basic needs of food and drink being even harder for many people to come by, we have decided that we would like to ask for your help in making Christmas special for those less fortunate, by giving them hope and a hot meal, so they can all celebrate together as a family, bringing out the true meaning of the generosity behind giving. We are asking you to donate food and drink, to directly help those in need. The Leader Christmas Campaign 2012 is officially launched on Monday 26th of November, and will be run in connection with Exite Radio, with your donations going directly to Reach Out Torrevieja and Caritas Orihuela Costa. We are looking for food and drink, of any size and value, but preferably of a none-perishable variety. It doesn´t matter how much or how little you can give, times are hard for all of us, but maybe just an extra tin of beans, or an extra carton of long life milk, because something as simple as that can mean the world to a family with an empty larder. Tinned food is an obvious type, as are cartons of long life milk, fruit juice, biscuits, chocolates, cake, dry food, soups, mixes, and even dog and cat food. Don´t worry, nobody will be feeding pet food to the hungry, but as families are struggling, more and more pets are being abandoned, putting a huge burden on those who then have to rehome them, but also often meaning the loss of a family member that brought happi-

ness whilst the good times were there, but forcing the tough decision of who eats first, the children or the dog, so pet food donations might also mean that the beloved family cat or dog can also be part of the warm family based picture that you are helping to create. We´re not even asking you to gift wrap your food parcel, we don´t want you to waste money on frills and special hamper boxes, just keep it simple and give what you can directly. But, you are also welcome to continue to donate gifts, or cash, if you so choose, in fact nothing will be turned away, we will find a worthy home for everything, but we do feel that asking your help to give a meal to a family at this time of year extends the warmth of compassion that we can all identify with on some level. So next time you´re out shopping just keep the image in mind and perhaps just pick up an extra tin or two. You can drop your donations off at The Leader offices in La Zenia, and we will also be adding a couple of local business points soon, so together we can make Christmas special, with just the simplest of donations, a few cents that can mean the world, can make an entire family happier to face what may well be a bleak time ahead, but will be warmed by the light at the end of the tunnel that you will be responsible for igniting, by helping them all get through this season of goodwill.

TORREVIEJA LEADS THE WAY IN BUDGET APPROVAL

Torrevieja town hall has this week presented the full and final budget for the 2013 year, which will be discussed and finally adopted in a final plenary session, and amounts, in its statement of income and expenses, to 92,345,678 euro. It also means that the city of Torrevieja is one of the first in Valencia too present an approved draft general budget for 2013. The figures were presented by both the mayor Eduardo Dolón as councillor for finances, Joaquín Albaladejo, who stated that he had personally presented the figures to all other political groups in the municipality, for what is said to be “the most balanced social orientated budget in history, containing spending, not raising taxes at any time and, despite lowering the overall budget for 2013 by 3%, it includes a 4% increase in spending on all items of social character”, in the hope that it will allow greater support to the citizens of the city, especially the poorest families who have been suffering through the financial crisis. In addition to the general budget for the City, the proposed 2013 budget for culture was also presented, which amounts in the statement of income and expenses 1,012,389 euro. Dolón stressed that the 2013 budget does not mean a rise in the tax burden to the citizens of Torrevieja, but, according Albaladejo, it includes "significant savings in energy savings by 2013 of up to 20%, amounting to about 720,000 euro, and a reduction of 5% in the contract for urban waste collection, of about 630,000 euro, but does not include the 2 million euro that they may have to pay to

the waste disposal contractor, should the court in Elche deem it correct, in the latest action against them. Specifics on each area were also presented in the document, but included such increases in investment of around 47% in individual financial aid, 112% in higher education, 32% in education assistance, which covers such areas as transportation and dining, and the development plan that sees the City of Torrevieja invest 360,000 euro for the creation of two jobs per 1,000 inhabitants. The budget is now in the hands of both the opposition political groups, and available for public consultation through the town hall, before the date of the final approval session is set. Meanwhile, the discussions surrounding the 2012 budget for the municipality of Orihuela are still continuing.

‘Twitters fr om the Atlantic’ TULIP HEADS AND CABBAGE FIELDS Life in the Canary Islands and Spain always seems to be punctuated by amazing Carnivals and enthusiastic Fiestas. There are just so many, with each town and village having their own special patron saint and accompanying fiesta days (or weeks, in some cases); sometimes it is hard to keep up with them. I love to see, hear and take part in them if I can. It is wonderful to see Canarian children dressed in traditional costume, singing and dancing, with their parents and friends enjoying the warmth of the day until late evening or, more usually, early morning. I am sure that these early experiences, traditions and social activities have a considerable influence upon the sense of belonging, community spirit and working together that is so important for a well-balanced life. During the recent fiesta in my own village, I began to reflect and contrast what I was seeing with some of my own childhood experiences. I was born and grew up in fenland Lincolnshire, which was never my favourite place on the planet. A landscape of endless fields growing the same crop in a tree-less and hedge-less landscape, without a hill in sight, and usually accompanied by a grey sky was simply not for me. I felt from a very early age that I was in the wrong place and I knew that one day I would have to escape. However, in fairness, I also know many people who have many happy memories of the area, and I respect their views. However, sadly, that was not the case for me. One overpowering memory that I still have, in more ways than one, is the overwhelming smell of rotting cabbages at certain times of the year, often combined with the sweet, sickly smell of sugar beet being

processed in the local beet factory. It was a strange and heady combination if the wind was in the wrong direction. The fertile land of South Lincolnshire is, of course, where farmers grow much of the nation’s crops, and a very good job they make of it too. However, endless fields of cabbages, cauliflowers and potatoes were never quite my thing, and I always seemed to be surrounded by fields emitting the bad stench of rotting cabbages and cauliflowers. How I longed to escape from that place. I guess this is when I started to dream about islands. In contrast, some fields were dedicated to the growing of tulip bulbs. In springtime, the usual bland landscape that haunted me as a child would burst into life with thousands upon thousands of tulips. Each field would specialise in one particular variety and colour; sparkling yellows, vivid reds, variegated varieties, and even blood red or almost black varieties. On my journey to and from school each day, the school bus would weave its way through fields of colour, much like large patches of raw, vivid colour on an artist’s palette. It lifted my spirits tremendously, and was such a change from cabbages. The tulips were, of course, grown for their bulbs and not for their flowers, and so the time would come when all the flowers were beheaded and carted off in huge trucks to the nearest compost heap. This would allow the bulbs to grow, divide and make healthy profits for the farmers. Indeed, this part of Lincolnshire was called Holland, and was reclaimed land from the Wash with a flower and bulb industry similar to its neighbour, the Netherlands, which was just a short hop across the North Sea. Fortunately, imaginative people began to realise that the tulip heads could in themselves still be quite useful, and the beginnings of a kind of Carnival began to grow in my home town of Spalding. Large floats,

sponsored by local businesses and large companies, were decorated with tulip heads. Amazing, spectacular creations from tulip heads, now in the form of floats, arrived each year as local groups and businesses tried to outdo their rivals. A huge procession would take place through the town and ‘The Tulip Parade’ became known worldwide as a spectacular event, which was well worth including on the tourist map. There was even a ‘Tulip Queen’, suitably crowned, who rode through the town in her carriage of tulips. The floats would then be on show for the general public to admire for several days until the heads finally died and all would be forgotten for another year. For me, and others like me, those few days each year were heaven sent during a time when my world seemed to be full of cabbages! If you enjoyed this article, take a look at

TRAFFIC CHAOS WILL LEAD TO IMPROVED FLOW PRUNING GETS UNDERWAY IN COSTA ORIHUELA

Residents of the Orihuela Costa can expect months of traffic chaos shortly, but once the improvement works are complete, it will result in improved traffic flow and less congestion in the somewhat unanticipated amount of traffic visiting the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. In a press conference this week, Pedro Mancebo, the first deputy mayor and councillor for the Orihuela Costa, explained that funding has already been approved to provide a new pedestrian footbridge over the AP7 motorway on the road between the La Zenia roundabout and Villamartin, although Mancebo also explained that this was part of the original agreement made with the Commercial Centre prior to the plan being approved, and was already, therefore, set in place by the previous government team. It is hoped that this work will commence very shortly, certainly around the New Year time. However, Mancebo also explained that the current government team are also seeking approval through their 2013 budget, which will see major improvements to the traffic flow moving through the current coastal bottleneck. These improvements will result in the closure of some roads and junctions, a change in direction to some streets and reducing some current dual-flow roads to one-way systems. The full details of the work are not yet available, nor will they be made available to the public prior to implementation, but it is understood that access and egress to the Consum supermarket at La Zenia will be blocked from the main road, with the only route

in being at the back of the car park. The junction which will serve the new emergency coordination centre will have restricted access, preventing the current potentially dangerous crossing of traffic. There will also be a number of traffic calming measures introduced and a new through road created from the Campoamor roundabout through La Regia. At the same time, access through the N332 underpasses at Playa Flamenca will be improved, widening the pavements to provide a safer walkway for pedestrians, as well as improved access for those with limited mobility. The town hall maintenance brigade are also working to this aim, removing obstructions from pavements, such as, according to Mancebo, the trees which were removed from outside the home of his former ally, Bob Houliston. Although the approval of the work should not be an issue, it is inevitable that the result will be months of diversions and delays, but Mancebo is confident that all the work will be completed in time for the 2013 summer season, so that next year the mass arrival of visitors to the area will not be quite so much of a surprise. In the meantime, if you want to check on the traffic flow yourself, Exite Radio has installed a traffic web cam which looks over the La Zenia roundabout on the N332, so all you have to do is visit the website, www.exiteradio.com, and you will see a live picture on there, updated every few seconds, or click the Traffic and Travel link at the top of the page for a bigger image, plus live feeds from the Spanish DGT traffic department, as well as an overview of European wide airports.

At long last the Department of the Environment, headed by BelchĂ Annunciation, has begun to prune the palm trees in the Orihuela Costa. The work has been delayed for some time, according to the council, because of the red weevil problem. This insect, which attacks the palms, spreads much more easily during the hot months, so the staff tend not to prune during the summer months. A spokesman for the department said also that the palms are cut at this time of the year so as to cause minimum disruption and inconvenience to holidaymakers and visitors. Work was completed last Friday in Calle Aire and Agua and will now continue during the coming weeks throughout Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Campoamor, Playa Flamenca, Punta Prima, La Regia and Mil Palmeras.

UNEXPECTED LEADERSHIP CONTEST FOR DOLON The shuffling of Torrevieja council, to encourage change and revitalise the government team, may not have gone far enough, given that Mayor Eduardo Dolón is accused of still failing to take action against some of those involved in the most recent political scandals, and that he is failing in his duty of serving the citizens of the municipality, predicted to be potentially damaging to his own long term political career, which may now be facing a sudden decline. Running for PP President in Torrevieja Ángel Rebollo

It seems that the political wind of Torrevieja could be changing and blowing against those who have comfortably sat in power for many years, so far. An so, enter Ángel Rebollo, a former serving councillor between 1999 and 2007, who has this week announced that he is to put himself forward to stand against Eduardo Dolón as the head of the Partido Popular, a situation that has not occurred in over two decades, with the ruling of former unopposed head, Pedro Hernández Mateo, who handed over the reins to Dolón, when he himself stood down, whilst facing political and legal cases for alleged fraudulent dealings whilst in office. In a statement, Ángel Rebollo said, “I am running for president of the PP to give value to internal democracy and leave it to the members to decide on the representative they want”. Ángel Rebollo said, “right now the government is in crisis and need to change whilst taking advantage of the election process in the new policy”, continuing to say that the local Partido Popular requires, “major changes to meet the new demands that the general public and its members in particular need”. The elections are set to take place in early December, and Ángel Rebollo hopes to “be able to recover the lost image and restore confidence to the citizens with strong organization, give peace and security to the provincial and regional directions and act according to the lines set out by our President Alberto Fabra”.

TORREVIEJA FACES ADDITIONAL REFUSE BILL The Los Verdes green party in Torrevieja has issued a statement claiming that the company contracted for refuse collection in the city of Torrevieja, Acciona, has filed an administrative dispute with the courts in Elche, against the city council, claiming payment of two million euro for transporting waste to landfill sites. This latest revelation adds to an historic battle between the contractor and the city council, which has seen a history of allegation of wrongdoing, poor service provision, complaints and “abuse of municipal residents”, by means of the lack of basic services being provided. The government team of Torrevieja had faced calls for the termination of the contract with Acciona, following various breaches of terms and conditions, and the assessment of technical reports.

However, it is believed is more likely that the council will continue to allow the current situation, despite the failings, until the end of the contract with Acciona in the summer of 2014 because municipalisation of the service, as was done in neighbouring Orihuela, would create more harm than be of benefit to the public interest. In the meantime, the town hall will be looking at preparing the service to be put to tender for the replacement of the contract from 2014, with the municipal technicians preparing new specifications for the award of the contract worth some 13 million euro of municipal money each year.

Calders Confessions

I went away for two weeks on holiday and when I came back I found out that all my friends had tried drugs at a party. Now they do them every weekend and are always telling me to try it because I’d love it. I’m really scared though, as they all that difficult and its not as if your lies were told to hurt anyone is it? Speak to your boyfriend first, tell him everything and then approach your mates. There may be a few raised eyebrows at first but its hardly the lie of the century. Think about the reasons behind the lies and try to be as open and honest as you can with people. If you do that, I don’t think you’ll go far wrong! Clare, I think you’re missing the point here. You don’t have to justify your life to your daughter at all but what you do have to do is love and support her when she needs you most. Of course its not an ideal situation to be in and you haven’t mentioned the issue of whether your daughter wants to keep the baby or not. My feeling though is that you should do all you can to help her make her own mind up and make sure that she knows you’re behind her all the way. You’re past has absolutely nothing to do with your daughters future does it? Sure, your experience and wisdom are invaluable to her but you have to realise that this is her life, not yours. Good luck to you both.

went through their first time together and I’ll be on my own. Should I give in or try to be strong and risk being an outcast? Maddie Would you jump off a cliff if they told you it was a “great thing” ? Of course you wouldn’t! I have to be honest and tell you that these friends are letting you down badly if they’re trying to coax you into doing anything you don’t want to do – especially drug taking! It’s a slippery slope Maddie, I’ve met so many people who thought they could cope with recreational drug taking, only to realise a few years down the line that they’ve pretty much destroyed their lives. Tell your “friends” you’re perfectly happy as you are and that you`d rather leave the drugs alone thank you very much. Ultimately, if the pressure to have a dabble get too much, perhaps you should consider finding some new friends?

BALLOON RACE FOR AECC featuring items of clothing and accessories from her shop. The fashion show was a huge hit with the La Fuente audience and Julia very kindly made a donation towards the fund. There was also the customary raffle with gifts provided by the local businesses. The whole day was a fabulous success and Maria wishes to make it an annual event. Maria also wants to thank everyone who purchased a balloon, John and Jack and all their staff at Evolucion, the artistes who generously provided their time free of charge, Ashley Twaddle who provided face painting for the children (and some of the adults), Roy Nash who arranged and monitored the pool, darts and basketball competitions, Julia at Tiger Feet, all friends that supported the event on a fantastic day and whoever was responsible for the fabulous weather on the day! Balloon race winners and the total amount raised will be announced as soon as possible.

Saturday 17th November saw the grand balloon race at Evolution in La Fuente Commercial Centre on behalf of Maria and her new Pink Ladies, specifically for the AECC early detection screening program. About 800 helium-filled pink balloons were set off at 3.30pm. each one having a tag attached to them with the identity of the purchaser, the balloon that was found the furthest away earning â&#x201A;Ź100 for the person that bought it. The day was enjoyed by hundreds of people with entertainment provided free of charge by the artistes Suzy G, Abba 2, Geoff Watts (The Jazz Singer) and Soul Power, a five-piece soul and Motown band. The performers were ably supported by DJ Sammy Starr. Pedro Mancebo, Councillor for Orihuela Costa, accompanied by his team from the Town Hall, once again supported the event for Maria and her Pink Ladies and offered to support them in future events. Julia from Tiger Feet at La Fuente held a fashion show for both men and women

YUMMY MUMS POSE NAKED TO FUND SCHOOL BUS Looking for ways of combating the financial crisis whilst opposing cuts in public spending is always a challenge, but a group of parents of children attending the Calatayud Evaristo de Montserrat public school in Valencia, are releasing a calendar of themselves in erotic poses, wearing very little clothing, in order to raise funds to subsidise the school bus that brings children from the surrounding villages to the school. In total, 83 children at the school, aged between 3 and 10 years, lost their bus because of the changes implemented by the Ministry of Education, which restricts free transport for students whose residence is located at a distance from college of two kilometres, as the crow flies. Many of the homes in the surrounding areas are in areas which are not even paved, and as much as six kilometres away from the only school which is geographically accessible to them. The president of the association of parents, Juan Carlos Morcillo, says that the buses cost around 7,000 euro per month, equating to around 80

released next week, of which 12 have made the shortlist to be printed as calendar girls. The girls need to sell between 3,000 and 4,000 copies, although this figure could be reduced if they get sponsors, which are currently being negotiated. Other fund raising events are also taking place, with the aim to earn at least 43,000 euro. There is no doubt, if previous releases are anything to go by, this latest use of erotic imagery will prove successful and go at least some way to allowing free transport to school to continue.

EASY HORSE BECOMES A FOUNDATION

Sue and Rod Weeding the founders of The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre (EHCRC) are delighted to announce that they have signed the deeds for a foundation. The rescue centre is now officially called: “Fundación Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre”. This means that they can now become even more serious players in the world of horse rescue and animal welfare. Not just locally but across Spain, collaborating and working together with the Spanish local and national governments, as well as lobbying at the European Parliament.

Sue has recently travelled to London and met with Baroness Mallalieu, the chairperson of the All Party Parliamentary Group for horses. Speaking with her at the palace of Westminster before going in to Prime Ministers Question Time, Sue got some time to tell the Baroness all about the work they are doing in Spain and her plans for campaigning for better horse welfare. “She was very interested in the work we do as she lobbies for horse welfare in the EU and so her goals are very similar to ours and she has said she will help and advice us in any way she can.” Rod and Sue have gifted their premises to the foundation and are happy in the knowledge that they have permanently secured the horse rescue centres future. Thus ensuring it will always be a permanent home for the rescued horses and other animals that live there of which there are currently 51 horses, ponies and donkeys. This will also serve as the main rescue centre and head office as this is just the beginning. There will be a second rescue centre opening very soon at Villa Vera. More centres will follow. Excitingly there are many new professional people now joining the team bringing with them invaluable skills that are needed in creating a successful organisation. This will ensure the continuous growth of the EHCRC Foundation and ultimately achieving our aim of eliminating the suffering and abuse of horses across Spain. There are many exciting things happening within the foundation over the next few weeks; we will continue to update you.

Pound Falls to Four-Week Low Versus Eur o After Factory Report Market Commentary 22nd November The pound dropped to a four-week low against the euro after a gauge of U.K. manufacturing stayed near the lowest in 10 months, adding to concern the economy is struggling to recover. Sterling dropped versus all except two of its 16 major counterparts after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King told a parliamentary commission that the uncertainty of regulatory fines levied on British lenders was weighing on their ability to raise finance. Although sterling has received some support from the situation in the euro zone, there are some challenges in terms of U.K. economic fundamentals that could limit any rebound in sterling. Many market analysts expect more negative headlines on the data and fiscal fronts and that should continue to put pressure on the pound. The U.K. currency depreciated 0.5 percent to 80.82 pence per euro at 4:32 p.m. London time after sliding to 80.86 pence, the weakest level since Oct. 25. The U.K. currency dropped 0.1 percent to $1.5937. The Confederation of British Industry’s factory orders index was at minus 21 this month from minus 23 in October, which was the lowest since December 2011. A measure of manufacturers’ output expectations for the next three months slid to minus 9, the lowest this year, from 12. Fines levied on U.K. banks including over the manipulation of Libor is hurting their ability to raise funds, King told lawmakers at a hearing of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards in London. European Union leaders fought to protect national interests in setting the bloc’s next seven-year budget, dogged by the debt crisis in the euro zone, tensions between rich and poor countries and Britain’s insis-

tence on keeping its money-back guarantee. Starting with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, the leaders trooped into EU President Herman Van Rompuy’s office for one-on-one consultations before all 27 convene at about 9 p.m. to weigh a proposed 1.033 trillion-euro ($1.3 trillion) spending package for the years 2014-2020. “I’m not happy at all,” Cameron said after arriving in Brussels. “It is quite wrong for there to be proposals for this increased extra spending in the EU. So we are going to be negotiating very hard for a good deal for Britain’s taxpayers and Europe’s taxpayers and to keep the British rebate.” The political stakes dwarf the economic significance of spending equal to 1 percent of European gross domestic product, offering a glimpse of where the power lies in the EU and whether the euro-area crisis is bringing the bloc closer together or driving it apart. Leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy already predict that it might take another summit to conclude a deal, an echo of the last EU budget round in 2005. The summit’s goal is to set ceilings that guide negotiations on the annual budget, a document that took up 556 small-print pages for 2012. Officials say the multiple layers of complexity make it easier to do a deal, since each leader can claim victory. Even before the summit started, one leader was ready to go home. “I’m exhausted,” said Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean- Claude Juncker on his return to EU headquarters after leading an 11-hour meeting of finance ministers that broke up at 4:30 a.m. yesterday without a loan package for debt-stricken Greece.

SOUTHERN COSTA BLANCA JEWISH COMMUNITY PUBLIC LIGHTING OF MENORAH

This year there is to be a public lighting of a Menorah at Playa Flamenca. Chanukah is a Jewish festival that dates back to the year 165 BCE. At that time Jerusalem was ruled by a Syrian king called Antiochus. He looted and damaged the Temple in Jerusalem and stopped the Jews from practicing their laws and religion. This upset the Jews so much that they rebelled. The rebellion was successful and the Temple was restored to its former state. A new altar was consecrated but there was only enough oil for the altar lamp to burn for one day. However the lamp burnt for eight days and a miracle was declared by the Jewish leaders. To celebrate this miracle an eight-day observance is created ever year by lighting one candle each day in a Menorah (a special candelabra) until all eight candles are burning. The Menorah is placed in public places to remind people of the miracle. This year the Southern Costa Blanca Jewish Community will again be lighting the Menorah on the steps of the amphitheatre opposite the Lobster Restaurant at Playa Flamenca Beach at 7.30pm on Saturday 15th December. The nearest road is Calle Orchideas. Following the lighting ceremony we shall be serving wine and do-nuts. Please join us as everybody is welcome, Jews, Christians, people of every religion and those of none. For further information please e-mail alan201150@hotmail.com.

WILL-I-AMS JOINS EXITE RADIO Exite Radio are delighted to announce another new addition to their ever popular weekday schedule with the arrival of Kev Williams, who originally hails from Hull, North Yorks. Kevin’s first shot at fame was as a young 12 year old when he got through the auditions of the popular TV entertainment programme “Junior Showtime”, subsequently appearing as a singer. Presented by Bobby Bennett from the Leeds City Varieties theatre, the ITV variety show consisted of song and dance routines and was produced by Jess Yates. It was responsible for unveiling a whole host of future celebrities including Jo Longthorne, Pauline Quirke, Bonny Langford, Lena Zavaroni , and of course Kev! In his 20s he joined a local band as a drummer/backing vocalist and stayed with them for six years. Kev then moved on to present a 2hr weekend Sat/Sun slot on Humber Radio specialising in a mixture of music and sport. Since moving to Spain 11 years ago Kev has continued to pursue his love of music by performing at many different events. He is now part of a wellknown karaoke duo based in the Torrevieja area having formed Enigma Cabaraoke/Disco with his

partner Viv. Before joining Exite Radio, Kev was a D.J./ Presenter for a rival radio station so he hopes to bring with him many additional listeners to his new station. He currently does a morning job, working for Torrevieja Hire Centre based in San Luis. You can hear Kev on Exite Radio every weekday afternoon from 2-5pm .

TAABS have been around for some years now, raising thousands of euros for a variety of charities with their excellent shows. They continue to be in great

demand and Musical Director Cathy Carson tells me they are just as keen now as they were all those years ago when they first started. They never get tired of performing in public and give their absolute all to every performance.

CHARITY CONCERT A Varied programme of thoroughly entertaining music awaits theatregoers next month when one of the leading choirs on the Costas appear in concert in Torrevieja. The 30 to 35-strong Orihuela Costa Male Voice Choir will be singing at a charity concert at the Virgin Del Carmen Theatre on Friday, December 7 starting at 8pm. There will be appearances by guest artistes Mary Beer and Janelle Gaskell. It is the first major concert hosted by the Torrevieja-based International Christian Assembly church and proceeds will be going to Reach Out. This charity is struggling to help the growing number of local people desperately in need, many having lost their jobs and some having lost their homes or about to be made homeless due to the recession. The choir, under musical director Nigel Hopkins, is of mixed nationality, but the vast majority of the songs in this secular programme will be in English. He promises an evening of "thoroughly entertaining music sung for a very worthwhile cause". The Orihuela Costa Male Voice Choir has been gaining increasing popularly locally and is planning a UK tour next year. Tickets are now available from Jayne’s hairdressers Playa Flamenca, from Reach Out charity shop in Torrevieja, and from the ICA church through Pete Goodyer, tel 968 97 8139, or on the door, subject to seats still being available. This concert is likely to be very popular and people are advised to buy tickets in advance if possible.

IN THE BUNKER WITH MICK THE GRIP THE ‘DUEL IN THE SUN’ was an epic contest between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson on the Ailsa course at Turnberry in 1977, when Watson secured the second of his 5 British Open titles. He returned to Turnberry last month for a ceremony in which a plaque honouring his feat was installed on the 18th fairway. He remembered turning to Nicklaus at the sixteenth hole on that hot afternoon and saying over the ecstatic crowds: “This is what it’s all about isn’t it?” and Nicklaus smilingly answering: “You bet it is.” Victor and vanquished walked off the 18th green arm in arm. Watson's 268 total broke the Open record by eight shots. Nicklaus himself broke it by seven. Hubert Green, third, was a further 10 shots behind. "I won this golf tournament," commented Green, "I don't know what game those other two guys were playing.”

AFTER A FALL at the European Masters last year, when she tripped over a gallery rope, injuring her back, Fanny Sunesson has announced that she is hanging up the golf bag. For the past five years she has caddied for Henrik Stenson, whom she helped to win the 2009 Players Championship. In between caddying for Nick Faldo during his run offour majors in the 1990’s she caddied for Fred Funk and Sergio Garcia. She intends to concentrate on player coaching. RORY MCILROY’S shaky start to the season is ending on a high with him winning the money titles on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as PGA of America Player of the year award and the Vardon Trophy. He doesn’t

pop home to the Belfast suburb of Moneyreagh often these days, so the luxury home complete with gym that he bought in 2009 has gone on the market for £2 million. “I don’t need the place now,” says Rory, “When I’m home I can always stay with Mum and Dad.” They can ut him up on the sofa. THE TYCO GOLF SKILLS Challenge, a made for TV event held on a breezy day in Palm Beach, consisted of a six skills contest and a reverse scramble (having to play from where the worst shot, rather than the best shot, lands.) The six skills were: long drive, mid iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot, and short iron. Out of the four pairs Justin Rose and Peter Hanson won the bunker shot, Zach Johnson and Kyle Stanley the long drive (270 yds) mid iron and chip shot. The veteran pairing of Calcavecchia and O'Meara won the trouble shot and short iron. Rose and Hanson beat Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley to win the reverse scramble prize of $285.000 dollars. ''The biggest skill today was survival,'' Rose said. ''The weather was kind of tough.''A breezy day? He’s gone native. WHEN Luke Donald won the World No. 1. title last year he paid for champagne for the entire press tent, including his critics. Better get your wallet out Rory. TAYLOR MADE are about to launch another “Once in a Lifetime Innovation.” The Speed Pocket which was such a hit with their Rocketballz woods has been incorporated into their irons and filled with polymer to dampen vibrations and give “freakishly long” distance. Testing shows that Irons with the Speed Pocket produce a higher trajectory and steeper landing angle for more control when attacking greens and tight pins. According to Taylor Made: “If your iron doesn’t have a Speed Pocket your iron is outdated.” Not to be outdone, Nike’s “game changing innovation” is the VR?S cavity back Covert driver with FlexLoft adjustability system, and Callaway’s RAZR Fit Xtreme fully adjustable driver has Optifit Technology: the face angle and weight can be adjusted. It won’t be long before these clever clubs play by themselves while we sit in the clubhouse. Until next time: happy golfing. Contact Mick for all your regripping and repair requirements. 638 859 475.

‘Mike Probert talks Golf Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services. Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions. Mosa Trajectum Earlier this year I informed you of significant changes at Mosa Trajectum because they had received a substantial investment from an oil industry based company and that the current courses would be closed for 12 months while they were improved and also that a 150 room hotel was built as part of the general attraction to the local area including the new airport at Corvera and the theme park at Alhama. Sufficient time has elapsed for me to pay them a visit and check on the latest situation and I discovered that there is an apparent legal dispute between the previous owner and the new investors and so NONE of the high level work has even started yet. As a result they have agreed to re-open the Stone and Pine courses to the public to generate some much needed cash flow to go towards the maintenance of the existing course and building fabric.Although they have offered new low prices incentives to play the course it is still far from being in the previous excellent condition although the natural rainfall that we have had in recent weeks has helped to some degree. As more information is made available we at the Leader will keep you updated with progress and developments.

WOLFPACK GOLF SOCIETY AT LAS COLINAS

We intended to play our annual Captain v Vice Captain for incoming skipper Alan Taylor but unfortunately “The Hills” were alive with the sound of rain drops on our arrival with a number of pre event cancellations. Decision time, we´ll play a individual stableford competition and delay the C v VC until February. Musty waterproofs were unfurled and a start was made. The day´s weather did improve a little and twentyfive participants managed to complete the course. Results: Nearest the pin (7&10) – Paul Pemberton 3rd place (27 points) Bob Andrews, 2nd place (32 points) Joe Booth 1st place (33 points) Geoff Hollingsworth

13 NOVEMBER

A couple of days after the event I was reminded how few climatic problems we have here in Spain when a pal of mine from the North of England phoned an mentioned that he had managed to play on Sunday the 11th, Armistice Day. “Enjoyed it” I said? “Not really” he replied, “the course was just like the Somme. Forthcoming events: Bill Humes & Bill Mackay are sponsoring a St Andrews Day event at Colinas on the 30th of November(11.00) Next Society day, 11th December at Villa Martin(09.30) Photograph shows the hardy souls who competed and contributed to Mick the Grip´s Poppy Day appeal.Bin Layden

LO CRISPIN GOLF SOCIETY. What a change a week makes, warm sunshine, no rain, back to normal and so says everyone. After the rains of the last two weeks and the disappointment of cancelled games it was with happy hearts that the Society set out to play a Stableford at Alicante. Thanks to the kind hospitality of Alicante golf, we enjoyed coffee and toast on arrival and eagerly queued up next to the first tee to watch the tee off. The course looked good with only one or two patches of mud around and the greens freshly cut, were a joy. No stories at all to report this week, everyone seemed happy with not a grumble in sight and as usual there are always players around to take advantage of these conditions, mainly Harry (Hi lad) Wilcock, John B (Mr Consistent) Henderson and Scot (Mr Happy) Blair. Well done lads. Gold Division: 1st Harry (Hi lad) Wilcock 39pts, 2nd Peter Morris 35pts and 3rd Robert (Captain) Berry 32pts

JORDAN GIBB COMPETES WITH WORLD'S BEST IN HONG KONG. By Anthony Vardon Local golf professional Jordan Gibb recently competed in The UBS Hong Kong Open on the European PGA Tour alongside a host of major winners including current world number one Rory McIlroy. Despite a late arrival in Hong Kong, having only received the call to play on the Monday morning, Jordan, 25 was able to make the cut with rounds of 72 and 67. Having made it through to the weekend in spite of jet lag and no practice round, Gibb added another pair of 72's to finish in the top 60. The tournament was the Englishman's first fully sanctioned European tour event, having spent 2012 competing on the European Challenge Tour. The youngster admits that it was unlike anything he had experienced before. “It's just a more grand production from start to finish. The course is set up better and tougher, the crowds are bigger and you are treated really well.” Jordan admits that up until the phone call on Monday he didn't even know if he would make the trip. “I had not played well this year and frankly I didn't have the money to go. I just decided that it was too big an opportunity to turn down so I said yes, put the flights and hotel on credit card and took a gamble!” While the €3900 prize won't be life changing in a business that involves very high expenses, it at least covered the trip and the experience that the young professional gained is invaluable. “I think I learned a lot about myself this week. I loved the occasion, it was exciting to play in front of such big crowds, to sign autographs. There are a lot of distractions but I dealt with them well and I think I can take a lot from that moving forward.” The week could have finished even better for the Brit but for a tough finish that led to him dropping a few places down the leader-board. “I made double at the last hole without even hitting a poor shot really. I hit a sixiron and it landed on the very front of the green and trickled back into the bunker and found a horrible lie. I mean, if it lands a foot further I have a good birdie chance but as it was, I would have done well to make five.” Gibb, who practices at Vistabella G.C is well aware of the small margins in golf having missed several cuts this year by just 1 or 2 shots. “It can get you down because you think if I'd just done this or that then I'd be making a cheque but you can't dwell on it, you have to just move on”. Regarding the finish in Asia, Jordan was equally philosophical saying that “The situ-

ation on the last in Hong Kong was frustrating because it cost me a lot of money but I can't get upset because I did everything right, sometimes these things just happen. And in any case the positives outweigh any disappointment this week.” While the 2012 season is over, Jordan's motivation for the winter is clear. “I've had a taste of it and I'll be working harder than ever to make sure I get there as a full European Tour player.” Jordan will be playing on the Challenge Tour again in 2013 where his season will begin in February in Kenya, the venue of his best result of 2012. Jordan is currently looking for sponsors for the upcoming season and you can learn more about him at www.jordangibbgolf.com.

FAIRWAYZ GOLF SOCIETY Wow what a great day! 28 of us played at Vistabella this Thursday 22nd, and the weather was superb, sunshine and shorts, (for some).

Alicante 21Nov The November outing for the golf society was held at Alicante where 20 members and guests played a betterball competition. It was an early start as the course was fairly busy on the day and the first time in a long while that we have seen a fairly heavy dew on a course as we were teeing off. This was soon gone and the weather conditions were perfect for golf with sunny skies and a bit of cloud cover which coupled with very little wind ,meant an even playing field for everybody on the day. A random draw for partners was held at the course and with no seeding taking place, it was pot luck who the pairings were. We had nearest the pin prizes on four out of the six par three holes and the winners of these were John Fullicks on the third hole (2 feet from hole) Paul Whatley on the sixth (6 feet from hole) and Duncan Williamson on the twelth (9 feet from hole). Nobody managed to hit the green with their first shot on the seventeenth. The scoring on the day was mixed with the majority of scores in the thirties and plenty of tales of woe concerning the number of balls offered up to the “water gods of the lakes”. We had three pairs tying for second place ,all with thirty seven points and the runners up due to lowest combined handicap of these was Paul Whatley and Steve Edwards. The winners on the day with a score of forty one points was Geoff Moulds and John Kemp. All twenty players then retired to the bar for a well earned drink before returning to Sams bar in Quesada for some food and the presentation. Thanks go to Maureen for laying on a nice chilli and buffet and we even managed to squeeze in a few rounds during Happy hour which was a bonus ! Next outing is at Altorreal on 12 December For information on the society, please contact John Kemp on 605 195 056 or at benijofargolf@ hotmail.com

LA MARINA’S NEWEST GOLF SOCIETY Angel of the North Golf Society played there second game ever on 21st November at Altorreal G.C. The weather was fine and everyone turned up on the day for a 10 am tee off. The course was in what we could describe as the normal condition for Altorreal and the sun not too hot. We received as always a great welcome from the staff on and off of the course. Once again we had trouble with buggies that were not fully charged which resulted in two buggies needing to be shunted for the last couple of holes, otherwise everything went to plan with the exception of the results. Jackie Earl, better known as Earl of Carlisle, who recently had has 78th birthday showed the way to his younger players with, for him, a dazzling display of golf on the day using, amongst other things, his putting techniques from greenside bunkers. The results were: Jackie Earl 27 pts, Kevin Marks 26 pts, George Runcieman 22 pts After the game we all travelled back to our 19th hole on La Marina Urb where Bridget and Ian, our landlords, treated us to a lovely buffet, prize giving and raffle. Anyone interested in joining the Society or playing as a guest can call Ian Hillary on 690 870 505. The next match is at Las Colinas GC on 19th Dec followed by a “Christmas Buffet” at our 19th hole.

Monday 19th November had a couple of nice 7-2 wins with Sue’s Catorce Kats taking the steam out of Brian’s Jaguars from Ebony & Ivory who have been trundling along quietly. For the Kats, Doug and Pat hit maximum 3 wins while for the Jaguars 2 pairs struck the dreaded zero. Mary’s Peacocks from Izzys Bar were the other 7-2 winners against John’s Catorce Lions with the Peacocks winning the first 6 games leaving the Lions to pick up the crumbs in the last 3. For the Peacocks, Sue and John were the maximisers with 3 wins while for the Lions, Steve and Phil hit zero. Even so, for The Lions, Pat did have a consolatory 24. The other news we were all waiting for was Margarets Siesta Sharks being bitten into submission in a close game against John’s Sportsman “B” who had all 3 pairs winning 2 games each while for the Sharks only Margaret and Ann-Marie could match them with their 2 wins. At The Sportsman, Steve’s “A” team dipped out against Val’s Voles from Bar Virgo who had all 3 pairs piling on the pressure with 2 wins each while the Sportsman’s 3 pairs could only manage 1 win each. In Catorce John’s Leopards moved up 4 places in the league with their win over Ayliff’s team from Shellys who seem to be anchored in the nether regions. The Leopards Paul and Terry won all their 3 games while for Shellys, Ayliff and John slithered to a stop without a win. In The Windsor Tavern my Falcons won 2 of the last 3 games to push Dorothy’s Magpies from Izzys Bar down 5 places in the league. We had 2 pairs with 2 wins each while Stewart and Jane for The Magpies were conned into losing all their 3 games. Over in Bar Virgo, Derek’s Robins took on Richard’s Ospreys from The Tavern and just missed out in a close game, but Gladys and Jacky of The Robins took all the flack for finishing without a win while 2 of the Ospreys team scored 2 wins each. The other Tavern team, Russell’s Kestrels (without Russell) went to Ebony and Ivory to face up to Keith’s Merlins (without Keith) who seem to have laid claim to that dreaded bottom place. The Merlin’s best pair were Tony and Jim with 2 wins, leaving the Kestrels Brian and Barbara out in the cold without a win. Ron Sheldon

NEW TEAMS Many bars would like to have a Ladies Darts Team, but they seem to lack a Captain who will get involved rounding up the players, and doing the paper work. Our League has 5 teams at the moment, and we have “Bye” slots. Therefore, even though the League has started, a new team could actually come into the League and take up the “Bye” slots. The Ladies in the League and our Captains are a very friendly group and would make any new team and their Captain very welcome. Please contact me on the number (or email) below if you want this slot, or if you need any help, I will be only too pleased to help too.

A hurried report this week as I´m making my way to the U.K. for our son´s wedding blessing. The church appointment is 3.00 p.m and our flight is 7.30 a.m. on Friday morning but should be no problem providing RYANNAIR are on time. They married in Sri Lanka whilst watching the 20/20 cricket world cup finals, so it is a small price to pay for the blessing in sunny Essex in the U.K. Actually I´d preferred to be at the wedding in Sri Lanka. A close and exciting game down at Breakaways against a strong Rendezvous line-up saw the home side´s Ged Ballinger hitting 100,85,86,89,100 before hitting D2 to take the team game, followed by a win in the first triple to make it 2-0. After a few words from captain Amanda Skinner the Bulls pulled back the next triple and all three doubles, Amanda checking out in style with T16,D20. The Bulls also took the first single but hopes were raised when Cyril Harrison finished 68 (S20,S16,D16) followed by Del Lister pulling off a big win against Terry Hagenaars finishing on D20. Mike Snow then took on Ron Chadwick 55. Game on! The well experienced Phil Waller edged the game to Rendezvous by beating M. Douglas and the final game went to Graham Dunning to take the points. Despite the loss not a bad day at the office for Breakaways. A trouncing of the Honeys, by second place Gogarty´s keeps the La Zenia outfit one point behind the league leaders but closing the gap on leg difference to just 5 legs. A depleted Meerkats side were entertained by the Hunks from Hattons and it was a pretty close run affair. Surprisingly, the Meerkats mustered 15 tons to the Hunks miserly 2. Captain Derek Kingsbury opened up his single with a maximum and finished the leg on D8. Alex Nikolov managed 2x140 and 3x100, but it was Paul Durrant who caused most damage with 5x100 and 1x140 including 3 game shots. The match hinged on the last leg after Steph Simpson had retrieved the score to 5-6. Mick Sisson faced Alex Nikolov and it was Sisson who threw first. Nikolov played some

steady darts and finished the leg in style 140,100 and 72 out (S12,S20,D20) for a narrow victory and two points. Jake Hawkins came out on top for the Hunks along with stand-in captain Steph Simpson. The Hyenas now go 3 points clear of Madigans after a fine home victory against Madigans. Despite some powerful scoring from Madigans Des Field, Sean Smith contributed some pretty decent scoring himself and added two game shots for a 5-1 half time lead. Andy Brooker made it 7-1 for the home side and both points before Field, Mark Taylor and Sid Cross gave the match score some respectability. Andy Brooker enjoyed an excellent 100 out (T20,D20) whilst Jim Macey-Lillie did the business with a maximum. A close match at the Sporting Life resulted in shared points after some pretty impressive darts. Sonya Cooper now recuperating after her 350k cycle ride in India managed a fine 165 and later completed an excellent 86 out finishing on the bull. Grainne Sharkey´s score of 124 was followed by a T10,D6 out. Dennis Wilkinson played well for the Breeze Bar top scoring with 121. Teams are reminded to only use match boards supplied by the league for match nights and competitions where a venue has been elected to host an evening. The reason for this is each team will play on a board in very similar condition to every other match being played on any one evening. This season each board should be played on for 13 home matches and possibly cup KO competitions. There is no excuse for playing on any other board. This means there is a level playing field and no reason for playing on inferior equipment. There is a responsibility for each team to ensure this rule is adhered to.

Today the Novilleros entertained Greenlands Chestnuts in a resumed game held over from Monday of last week. In much better weather the Novilleros managed to win on all six rinks. In two days we have managed to gain 23 points out of a possible 28 and seem to have found a bit of form. It’s early days yet though. There’s a long way to go. Points for 14-0, Shots for 146-79 Wednesday 21st November Winter League V Finca Guila Well another game slipped away just losing out on the total shots. Wining rinks this week, were Babs Caiger, Pauline Woodfine, Harry Dobson and Barrie Woodfine 17 -11 and also Denise Ashberry, Dave Melville, Alan Ashberry and Bill Young . A good day was had by all finishing off with soup and bread rolls. Points for 4-6, Shots for 62-77 Friday 23rd November Southern League Division C , Home to La Marina Seagulls. Not a very good result today at home. We won on only one rink and of course lost on overall shots against our friends from La Marina. Well done to our only winning team of Jan Soars, Gordon Hemming and Gordon Fisher. Points for 2-12, Shots for 66-121 Friday 23rd November Southern League Division A Away to San Luis Lions. Well done to all the team by winning all the games. Points for 14-0, Shots for 114-93 For any info about joining our club or fixture details please contact the club captain Colin Armitage.

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB By Steve Hibberd Before I embark on this weeks round up, an apology is very much in order. I have been reliably informed by Lady Penelope (she of the Pink Rolls Royce fame!), that in a previous Cedar's Southern League result, I shamelessly failed to mention the winning rink of F Tilley, P Tomkins & J Redfern. So Penny, does that now make me F-A-B, or what? Twas catch up time in the SABA league, with a double bubble for all 3 of our teams. On Mon, in the Enterprise League, the result of the day, just had to be Maples superb 10-4 defeat over a strong San Miguel Meteors side. Suits you sir: Brian Tomlin, Steve Hibberd, Dave O'Sullivan 26-9. Cas Thomas, Phil & Angie Goodfellow 16-9. Tony French, Mel Brown, Brian Pocock 18-15. Dave Fryatt, Sue Mahomet, Marilyn Fryatt 22-15. Also in the Enterprise League, the Sycamores made a trip to the Murcian border, where they competed against Horadada Falcons. Although they lost 4-10, this merry bunch certainly did the biz: Joan Oliver, Phil (The Quiet Man) Lockley, Jack Redfern 23-15. Zoe & Jim Wilcock, Ken Parker 23-10. An identical result beheld the Chestnuts, whom in their Discovery League match, travelled in the opposite direction to face Montemar Picadors. How very dare you: Nancy Inwood, Tony Sambrook, Dave (Nowt wrong with Donny!) Thompson 26-7. Terry Lawton, Charles Langlois, Graham Watt 13-9. For the first of the rearranged matches on Tues, the Chestnuts once again visited Montemar, this time to play the Novilerros. Even though they left with cero puntos, captain Chris Dewer was upbeat, and I quote, "Bad day at the office, but we enjoyed it, and will be back fighting next week" - nice one Chris. Two Weds home games saw both our Enterprise League teams in action. The morning shift involved Sycamores against a very experienced San Luis Klingons (who thinks up these names?). Although it was 3 wins apeice, the Klingons just clung on, winning 8-6 on shots. Beam me up Scotty: Jim Oliver, Steph Taylor, Brian Miller 17-16. Zoe & Jim Wilcock, Ken Parker 21-11. Nadine Bater, Penny Tomkins, Jill Parker 16-15. No sooner had the first drop of wine been consumed by the battle weary Sycamorians, than their brothers in arms were warming up for action. Enter the Maples, who entertained another goodly looking set of chaps/chapesses, namely La Marina Explorers. And what a cracking game it turned out to be. Maples just edged out their oponents, winning 8-6, thanks to this motley looking crew (only joking - or am I?): Brian Tomlin, Ken Toy, Dave O'Sullivan 19-9. Tony French, Sheila Stead, Mel Brown 22-6. Fred Tilley, Avril Toozer, Vic Mahomet 19-14. Special thanks must go out to Ken Toy, Jim Reeves & Jill Collins, deputising for absent squad members - it was greatly appreciated. A short hop, skip & jump across the AP7 to Quesada, was the venue for the latest instalment of that well known soap opera, commonly known as 'Winter League'. Starring this week were that loveable couple Barry & Wendy, who along with Gail & Fred (fondly returning to their old club!!!), pulled off a superb 22-14 win. Fed rep Sue Johnson, old Bill Sims, Capt Colin Lloyd, & skip Barry Collins came up trumps, squeez-

ing home 16-15, helping their team record a very satisfactory narrow defeat (6-8). Another 2 Quesada old boys (or should I say girls!) were in Berleen action. Di & Sandra, along with the 2 Tonys (almost as good as that well know comedy act, the 2 Ronnies!) drew on their rink, but alas, all their efforts were in vain, for the other rink lost. Tune in for next weeks episode, when Vistabella are the visitors to the Street where it all happens, and often does! Hail the mighty Cedars. South Lg div C better watch out, for the Cedars are cooking on gas. Sparing no mercy, they gave La Siesta Silvers a lesson as they romped to a massive 14-0 victory. Helen Langlois, Chris Dewer, Jack Redfern 20-10. Margaret Dewar, Zoe & Jim Wilcock 17-11. Fred Tilley, Penny Tomkins, Ted Upham 21-8. Barbara Doran, Tony French, John Wray 21-6. Keith Page, Mike Kilby, Pete Tomkins 17-13. Eileen Merrick, Charles Langlois, Dave Webb 21-12. Whilst the Cedars were deservedly celebrating their victory, div A sides Oaks & Elms were drowning their sorrows. Over on the tricky El Rancho carpet, only Brian Tomlin, Bill & Bobbie Sims secured a victory, as the Elms secumbed to a 2-12 defeat. High flying Oaks were sent back to earth with a bump, when the Ramblers made home territory tell. Heard the one about the Welshman (Mike Veale), Irishman (Ronnie Cairns) and Scotsman (Steve Cantley)? Nothing funny about this rink, for their excellent 22-13 victory, was the only contribution in a disapointing 2-12 reversal.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB

COUNTRY BOWLS REPORT

SABA WINTER TRIPLES

Monday found The Pintos playing host to the strong San Luis Vulcans, on a glorious morning, a close match all round, several rinks could have gone either way. In the end both teams took 3 rinks with The Pintos taking the overall shots, well played both teams! Meanwhile The Broncos were away at La Siesta against The Pioneers; Broncos took 2 rinks to Pioneers’ 4, but played well and enjoyed the company too. On Tuesday The Pintos were entertained by Vistabella Eagles, a rescheduled match, on a very warm day with little wind. Always an occasion for seeing old friends and the bowls was good too. The Eagles made good use of their home advantage and took the rinks by 4 to 2 and the overall shots, never a bad result away from home. Friday morning found The Mustangs playing host to Greenlands Elms, a good match played in great spirit. The Mustangs played very well taking full advantage of the home mat and taking the rinks by 5 to 1 and the shots by an appreciable margin, well done! Sheila Booton, Steve Bowl and Don Wheatley 28-13. Jane Hamill, Sue Rainbow and Drew Gerrard 27-10. Maxine Wright, Richard Needham and Stew Hamill 17-16. Ros Holmes, Merv Armstrong and Jim Rainbow 36-3.

By Lynne Bishop What a super result from both our Southern league sides this week. Division A Ramblers played the mighty Oaks from Greenlands at home on Friday morning and picked up twelve points. It was a very closely contested game that could have gone horribly wrong had we not picked up some good scores towards the end. Jenny Chaplin, George Thomson & Ken Cuthbert 20-12. Gillian Morris, Gerry Gough & Peter Whitehall 20-15. Lin Watkins, Dave Chaplin & Dave Rogers 19-15. Lynne Bishop, Sue Norris & Eric Bishop 17-14. Harold Morris, Charlie Watkins & Barry Norris 22-20. Overall shots, Ramblers 111(12) - 98(2) Oaks. Friday afternoon's home game saw Division C Harvesters taking on the El Rancho Raiders, they had four wins and a drawn game to credit them with eleven points. Maurice Cass, Les Turner & Ray Emmett enjoyed a great win of 30-12. Derek Gunning, Alan Perry & Peter Robinson 24-13. Paul Plant, Jean Turner & John Simpson 18-8. Trevor Cox, Brian Kirk & Dot Davies 25-20 and Sandra Mcilroy, Pat Emmett & Karen Kirk drew their game13-13. Overall shots, Harvesters 121(11) - 81(3) Raiders. Well done everyone! Two SABA matches this week for the 2nd Division Supernovas, on Monday they had a home tie with Monte Mar Novilleros, winning just five points but there was some incredibly close games. Derek Gunning, Peter Robinson & Barry Norris had a fine performance which paid off with a win of 17-14. Gillian Morris, Ron Odell & Harold Morris fell over the line to finish 16-15, and there was a great come back from the team of Sheila Whitehall, Karen Kirk & Peter Whitehall, who being 1-15 down at mid game recovered remarkably only to run out of ends...you deserved better 19-20 bad luck. Overall shots Supernovas 89(5) - 100(9) Novilleros On Wednesday the Supernovas played their re-arranged away match with the La Marina Astronauts and this was a much better result, at one stage of the game it looked quite possible to win a full house but it was not to be, never the less a result of 10-4 at La Marina is not to be sniffed at. Lynne Bishop, Karen Kirk & Barry Norris won 21-10. Derek Gunning, Geoff Paylor & Charlie Watkins 25-15 (well done Charlie in his new role as Skip). Margaret Odell, Sue Norris & Eric Bishop 17-11. Lin Watkins, Les Turner & Gerry Gough 18-12. Bad luck to Jenny Chaplin, John Simpson & Dave Chaplin who went into the last end with equal shots but ended up losing by one. Overall shots, Supernovas 111(10) - 83(4) Astronauts. For more info about this club visit www.countrybowlsclub.com

CLUB REPORTS Please note that your bowls submissions should be kept to the region of 400 words. Despite asking incessantly some clubs are still sending reports in which are double or triple that amount and as such I am often unable to publish.

HORADADA BOWLS Last Friday night, it was a privilege to be present when the Sports Council of Pilar de la Horadada recognised the sporting achievements of Alan Pugh. At a ceremony to celebrate sporting achievements within the area, a large audience was present when Alan was presented with an award for being shortlisted,1 of 3, for 'Veterano of The Year Award'. Throughout the Costa Blanca area, Alan is well known as an excellent bowler and a gentleman, and I am sure all his friends from other clubs will appluad this recognition. Congratulations Alan on this well deserved award. Now for the weeks results. Southern Devision B League. The result for the Royals is very good again this week. A match against La Siesta Gold gave us another 10 points to help us maintain, or hopefully improve, our position as second in the League Table.Well done everyone for the quality of bowling, and for commitment and team spirit being shown.

MONTEPIEDRA SPORTS CENTRE PADEL TENIS TOURNY Last weekend at the Montepiedra Sports Center in Dehesa de Campoamor next to Mil Palmeras we held our monthly Padel Tenis tournament After surprisingly in Spain, having been washed out of the last couple of tournaments we held our breath waiting to see if on this occasion we could play. Luckily the weather was kind to us and as normal the tournament started at 10am. The event was held over the morning and followed our usual format of four 30 minute rounds with the combined scores of all the competitors being added up after all the rounds were completed to find out who had the top scores in the Men's and Ladies categories After a great mornings play the winner of the Men's

MAJOR BOXING SHOW BOUND FOR DAYA NUEVA The next boxing show to be held locally will be at the Sports Centre in Daya Nueva on Friday 14 December and it really will be a busy event with 12 fights crammed into an action packed night. Top of the bill will be local favourite Ricky Pow who will be embarking on the 10th fight of his promising professional career. It seems likely that an opponent will be shipped in from elsewhere in Europe with no-one in Spain currently wanting to take the Torrevejense on. A second pro fight will see Swedish welterweight Karlo Tabaghua in action only 3 weeks after his attempt to lift the vacant WBC Silver welterweight title against Anton Novikov in Chelyabinsk, Russia. There will be a welcome return to the ring for light middleweight, and former world kickboxing champion, Felix Klein, who will be in action for the first time since almost losing an eye last year. Irish fans will also see undefeated Irish amateur Elijas looking to extend his record on the bill. Of the dozen fights promoter Alberto Gonzalez told the Leader there will be a mix of professional, neo pro and amateur contests, so something to suit the followers of all three genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This will be the biggest show ever put on in Daya Nueva.

DAYA GIVE AWAY POINTS YET AGAIN !! COX ...........................................2 DAYA NUEVA INFANTILS .........2 By Daya Dave It was a scrappy start from both sides, then on 4 minutes Danni in the Daya goal almost presented Cox with the opening goal, only last ditch defending on the goal line saved the day for the visitors. This near miss woke up Daya and they pressed forward and one attack produced a good save from the home side's keeper. Cox were restricted to occasional breakaways one of which on 20 minutes saw Danni having to beat away a fierce shot. Soon after Daya's Jota was called into action having to make a crucial interception. The home side were beginning to put pressure on Daya now but Jota and Francisco were rock solid at the back for the visitors. On the stroke of half time a great save from the home side's keeper kept out a goal bound header from Manuel. So 0 - 0 at the interval with Daya having just shaded the half. The start of the second period saw Daya pile on the pressure but a quick breakaway by Cox almost caught the visitors out but somehow Daya scrambled the ball away for a corner. On 42 minutes Daya won a penalty, up stepped

Manuel but his shot was brilliantly saved by the Keeper who was having an inspired game. On 51 minutes another good chance fell to Daya but Carlos failed to fully connect with the ball allowing the keeper to make yet another fine save. Daya came under intense pressure themselves and the home side looked the more likely to score. From a corner Danni punched clear, the ball found its way out to Francisco, he took the ball forward beating a number of Cox defenders to put in a cross that eventually fell to Carlos who lashed it home from close range to give Daya a 1 - 0 lead on 58 minutes. Just two minutes later it was all square when Daya were caught out in defence. Back came the visitors and their lead was restored on 64 minutes when Manuel scored a good goal. So 2 - 1 Daya but it wasn't over yet! Cox won a free kick, Danni called for the ball but never got to it, so a simple tap in gave the home side their second goal on 68 minutes to level the match. Final score 2 2 which was probably a fair result. If only Daya could put away their chances they would be way out in front of all their rivals. It seems as though the opposing goal keepers have their best games against Daya. Man of the Match, the home side's keeper. Team Sponsor: Segurlab

category was Paul with Jean coming tops in the Ladies category. The tournament was played in great spirit but after everybody was ready we headed down to Lilly's restaurant in La Torre de la Horadada for our a great lunch.

CF MIL PALMERAS WEEKLY ROUNDUP Pre Benjamin 2006 Team Sponsors Fuegos La Fuente CF Mil Palmeras 1-9 CD Cox After a shaky start we managed to get into the game quite well and enjoyed a lot of possession despite the score line. The problem being that when Cox broke away they seemed to find a very good shot or finish which Elliot in goal could do very little about. Half time 0-5. Second half and much much better from mil Palmeras with us enjoying a lot of the ball in the CD Cox's half with Dylan and Joshua working hard with young Jack making two great saves in goal. Callum was again tigerish in midfield. Thomas Ellis was putting in a great effort and it nearly paid off when Kevin put through a great pass for Lacey who controlled well and did everything right only for the keeper to come out quickly and smother the shot well. Five minutes later we got a deserved goal when a penalty was awarded for handball in the area which was calmly dispatched by Kevin Ruiz. Man of the match Kevin Ruiz tireless running and tackling.

Alevins - Team Sponsors Talleres J Martinez Ford Garage San Miguel CF Mil Palmeras 1-2 Hondon de los Frailes. Yet another close fought defeat. After a forgettable first half we fought hard and nearly grabbed a point at the death. Early pressure from Mil Palmeras but we conceded too many balls in midfield and were undone in the 10th minute a high shot eluding Jamie in goal Ten minutes later it was 2 when a well struck shot flew into the corner of the net. Mil Palmeras only managed one shot on target in the remainder of a poor first half. After a reshuffle at half time we pinned back Hondon for the entire second period and nearly pulled one back with a great free kick from Agustin Ramirez that cannoned back off the post. Five minutes later we were back in it with a great finish from Ramirez but we couldn't convert from the pressure we were putting on although at the death Neve Bradley had a great chance to level but couldn't get the ball from out of her feet and was denied by the keeper. This team needs to learn how to play for 60 minutes instead of thirty. But a tough run of fixtures will surely put this team in good stead for the rest of the season. Man of the match Jamie McDonald some much needed strength. We are always on the lookout for players. For info 619 700 439 / 622 295 186 or www.cfmilpalmeras.co.uk

POWEL KEEPS ELCHE CLEAR AT THE TOP GIRONA FC ......................0 ELCHE CF ........................1

got it right (phew, not always the case!) and disallowed the goal. The alert Herrera in Elche’s goal was put to the test with some smart saves, one from close in as Sanchon’s shot was smothered to safety. Back came Elche as Cool Hand Luke, aka dead-ball specialist Albacar clipped his free-kick just past Girona’s post as half-time approached. In the second half the home tam and crowd were baying for a penalty as Jandro’s bicycle kick caught Peligrin’s shoulder. No, said the referee as the Illicitanos breathed again. Powel, eager to add to his first half goal cut in from the left, and thundered his shot over the bar. Girona substitute Moral temporarily escaped the attention of super Suarez to crash his near post effort miles wide as the home side desperately went for the equalizer. But it never came and the Franjiverdes should have made it two as Mallo in Girona’s goal parried Carles Gil’s shot, only for substitute Pelayo to sky it over the bar when scoring would have been easier. Competent coach Fran Escriba brought on Jaime for Powel, and Palanca for Coro as Elche withstood the pressure and the back four all played their perfect part as Elche go marching on, now clear at the top of the league by five points. But as I keep saying this sensational season, we have a long way to go until mid-June, there’s only just over a third of the way gone – and we’ve been there before, in a similar position last year, and it all went sadly wrong in the second half of the season. But for now, it’s great – Elche are still (deservedly) top! Mucho Elche! Another huge game for the Franjiverdes comes next Sunday evening against the newly second-placed Villarreal, who beat 1 – 0. Most of their points have come at home where they are unbeaten, but the Valenciana team have only lost two away, the same as Elche, and only eleven goals conceded

Powel got the all important goal to keep Elche top.

Liga leaders Elche travelled the long distance to second-placed Girona of Catalonia knowing that losing would take them off the top spot, but the Illicitanos’ brilliant defence has only conceded a miserly eight goals so far this sizzling season. This time another five-star defensive performance was needed to keep out the highest-scoring attack in the league, who were unbeaten at home with eighteen goals in eight games: until Elche came to town! Barry Powel came on as substitute last week to immediately score the only goal of the game and put an end to stubborn Alcorcon’s resistance. This week the big Dutchman’s reward was his first place in the otherwise unchanged starting line-up, courtesy of Palanca – and how that decision paid off, with his goal after only seven minutes into the first half. Much(o) of Elche’s goals have come from set pieces so far this season, and this was no exception. Right back and one of the finds of the season Suarez sent over an inswinger from way out on the left. Girona’s Migue helped it on to the far byline, where Pelegrin headed it back into the fray. All Herrero could do was backhead the ball over his own goalkeeper for the marauding Powel to have the simplest task of putting it over the line. Yet another early goal to settle Elche nerves – now over to the 24 carat defence to do their bit, and we can all go home happy! Back came the home side with a vengeance as first Herrero, trying to make amends clipped his shot over the bar helped by Exteita, followed by Jandro, miles offside who slotted the ball home: but linesman and referee

TORRY CRUISE PAST POOR CATARROJA FC TORREVIEJA...............6 CATARROJA CF.................0 There were six individual scorers on Sunday afternoon as FC Torrevieja thumped bottom club Catarroja to record their biggest scoreline in nearly three years. Played at the Nelson Mandela Astroturf stadium in front of a crowd of 500, the home side were four goals up by the interval. Two further efforts early in the second period then saw Torrevieja take their foot off the pedal, allowing the visitors to stage a mini comeback, but with little for Catarroja to offer in attack Torrevieja were comfortable in virtually every department of this game. Although they might have lacked some of the swagger from their last season’s campaign the win will be an enormous boost to their confidence as they are now showing signs of getting back to their best. With both Koeman and Ernesto keen to impress against their previous club the home side were in front on 15 minutes. Luis Carlos pulled the ball back from the goal line before Ernesto rifled in from 10 yards. Torrevieja’s second came just 4 minutes later. After Inarejos had brought a great save out of Mario in the visiting goal Gasch hit an unstoppable drive to double the Torry lead. The home side were three up on 25 minutes when captain Jorge met a corner from the right with his head and although further chances fell at regular intervals we

had to wait until the final kick off the half to see Torry extend their lead further. This time it was the turn of man of the match Luis Carlos to get on the end of a fine drive. With Javi Rosa and substitute Kuco Ros adding to the Torrevieja tally early in the second period, even when the home side took their foot off the pedal, Catarroja were only able to shoot from distance and despite the introduction of additional attackers it was not until the 75th minute that the visitors produced an attack of any note. Jordi was fed in by Pepe but his powerful drive from the edge of the box was easily turned over the bar by the acrobatic Manolo. Wholesale Torry changes allowed the visitors rather more of the ball toward the end of the game but the stalwart back five continued to frustrate the Catarroja forwards while the Torry midfield continued to create a number of further chances themselves. And a word for referee Marino Navarro who handled the game extremely well contributing to a most enjoyable and entertaining afternoon of football. Next week Torrevieja travel to promotion chasing La Nucia on Sunday for a 5pm kick off, a game that could well give an accurate indication of just what FC Torrevieja can achieve this season

WOEFUL REDS HANG ON FOR WIN UD HORADADA.............2 ASPE UD.........................1 Rearranged fixtures and the Christmas break meant that Sunday evenings game against lowly Aspe was the last fixture that we would see at the Ikomar for a little over two months. As we left the stadium following the narrow win many of us were lamenting the fact that it was not any longer. This was an awful performance from the Reds, one that they really should have dominated against much inferior opposition, and one that they barely deserved to win. As is so often the case, when top meets bottom, the performance rarely lives up to expectations and even with the Reds two goals to the good within the opening twenty minutes of the game the vibes were anything but good for a comfortable Horadada win. Play was very scrappy, most of it in the air, and there was little shape to either side as the sparse crowd waited in anticipation of any sign of the quality football we all know the home side are capable of turning on. Yes there were goals but even they came about more as a result of the visitor’s inadequate play rather than creative Horadada football. The home side went ahead on 6 minutes when a free kick wide left was lobbed into the crowded Aspe area. Fernando in goal was rooted to the spot, making no move whatsoever as the ball simply ran through everyone and into an empty net. No one was more surprised

LACKLUSTRE SAINTS BEATEN BY IMPRESSIVE MONFORTE Monforte C.F ...............................2 C.F Sporting de San Fulgencio ..0 Two second half goals were enough to earn Monforte a well deserved win over San Fulgencio on a chilly Valencian evening. The first quarter of the match flew by with little happening, but the visitors shaded the opening exchanges without troubling the solid home backline. Monforte had the first effort at goal with a well-struck volley, but the shot was wide of the target. Marco Aurelio then forced the goalkeeper to make a smart save down to his right with the first attempt on target. The man between the sticks foiled Marco again minutes later when the Brazilian nicked the ball from the unsuspecting centreback. As the game went on the midtablers began to take control of the contest

and should have opened the scoring just before the break, but when on his own the striker fluffed his lines from a few yards out and his shot trickled past the post. After a few ineffective San Fulgencio corners, the teams went to the changing rooms level. Hector Silva came close to scoring for the Saints just after the restart, but the keeper did well to tip the midfielder’s header past the post. It was end to end stuff for the first few minutes as Manuel Llopis pulled off a great save from a deflected strike, showing incredible reactions to change direction and keep hold of the ball. The opening goal arrived soon after due to some poor marking and a mistake by Manuel Llopis. Monforte’s number 7 nodded in a well delivered corner after Manuel missed his punch. The hosts almost had another from a similar situation, but luckily for the

that goalscorer Javi. Horadada’s second came just before the 20 minute mark and, thankfully, there was just a little more creativity to entertain the crowd. A corner from the left was partially cleared by the Aspe defence but only to the edge of the box from where Alberto hit a powerful shot into the roof of the net. At this stage we all thought the home side was home and dry. We were just waiting for the avalanche of goals to begin. But nothing could have been further from the reality. The game simply sank to new depths that we previously hadn’t thought possible. Rojo was lucky to be still on the field at this stage after a heavy challenge in front of the dugouts on Castro Verde earned him a lenient yellow card. Following the interval Antonio, Ensa, Jose Maria and Luis all entered the fray in a multitude of Horadada substitutions but their arrival made little difference to the game. In fact the Reds sat back even deeper and as the visitors created chance after chance we were all waiting for the reds defence to leak a second goal. Their final attack of the game saw Alex make a fine save from a Fernando header but with a little more composure in the Aspe attack the scoreline could have been so very different. Let’s just say that Horadada were rather more than grateful for the points. Next weeks fixture at El Campello will be played on Saturday with a 4.30 pm kick off.

joint leaders the header was too high to trouble the defence. With ten minutes remaining Monforte finished the game off thanks to some questionable defending from San Fulgencio. Their striker had been a menace for Claudio’s men’s defence and he got his goal ten minutes from time. A lack of communication seemed to be the problem in this case as Aaron Lopez and Joaquin Rodriguez let their man run between them before clipping the ball over Llopis to consolidate their victory. A fixture to forget for the Saints, but hopefully the loss motivates the players to get a result against C.D Dolres next Sunday! An important home game at 12:00, make sure you come to support the lads! Thank you to Telecom 900 and the rest of our sponsors! There is a Fundraising event at the Hog’s Head(Consum Square Urb La Marina) this Wednesday 28th November at 8pm, feel free to attend!
