AWASH WITH GREEN AND GOLD

It promised to be the biggest and the best, and it didnÂ´t disappoint. The streets of Cabo Roig

Communities and nationalities all stood side by side, to wave and to cheer as the parade marched by, kicking off the unique combination of celebrations that was Paddy´s Day 2013. The pipes and drums heralded the start, accompanied by instruments and bands of all possible types, as the noise started to swell, parade Grand Marshall, Eamonn O’Hare, led sporting giants, Christy Heffernan and Jim Sheridan, and representatives of the political world, in a wave of music and light, as float after float followed, each with one thing in common, the delight and joy on the faces of those involved, whilst all maintaining their individuality, in the hope of achieving the most coveted prize of being awarded the “Best Float” accreditation, setting them at the top of the celebratory peak. Exite Radio was on hand, playing music throughout the afternoon, with entertainers keeping the eager crowd occupied. The girls from Zumba with Lisa performed an incredible Irish themed routine, showing how this popular fitness routine is so adaptable to any event or situation. Rebecca Holt and Elisa Macgregor sang a number of duets and solo numbers, and members of the Caballeros showcased some of their incredible act, which is still sweeping the Costa’s as it continues to accumulate an ever increasing fan base.

came together and made the area special, clubbing together to dress the streets and parade route, and offering a huge variety of entertainment and specials to ensure the party continued into the night. Of course we mustn’t forget that St Patrick himself also came along for the ride, no doubt spreading fear into the kingdom of snakes in Spain, worried that history might well be repeated, and that he banish them from the country as he so famously did for Ireland. But as people flocked from miles around, eager to take a place by the roadside, to observe the spectacle of colour and the carnival atmosphere, it truly was a joy to watch, and a pleasure for those taking part. As the official opening addresses were completed, they were the signal for the Cabo Roig party to begin, as the second most important factor in an event like this got underway, the bringing together of people to party, irrespective of age, of colour, creed, race, sex or sexuality, and certainly irrespective of nationality. The underlying theme of any St Patrick´s day celebration was proven, that if only for the one day, everybody´s Irish on St Patrick´s Day. Well done to the Irish Community in Cabo Roig, particularly the organisers, the individuals, the bars, restaurants and many other businesses that worked so hard to make the event another overwhelming success.

CON CERNS FOR CONDITION OF PASCU AL FLORES

As the authorities in Torrevieja maintain a hermetic silence about the present use and the planned future of the threemasted schooner, Carrasco Shipyards, the builder of the Pascual Flores replica, has warned that the hull of the boat is falling into serious disrepair because of the lack of maintenance. Since her original launch in November 2007, this lack of cleaning and conditioning, particularly of the hull, is threatening the preservation of the vessel, which is currently situated in Torrevieja Marina. Master shipwright Antonio Carrasco, the patriarch of a family of four generations of carpenters, said that he has very

real concerns about the consequences of the failure to maintain the boat. Made with high quality wood, he said that the hull of the schooner needs to be cleaned every year of the fouling organisms, algae and small molluscs, which naturally adhere to the hull of the ship. “Treating the wood with an antifouling agent is considered essential in order to prevent irreversible damage to the hull,” he says. “A failure to carry out the treatment could force the wooden hull to separate which would have irreparable consequences for the vessel. “ Carrasco also said that his shipyard, based in the port of Aguilas, Murcia, proposed an agreement for maintenance and management of the ship which was rejected by the Torrevieja administration. Last year, the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon, (PP) said that he would not spend "one more euro on Pascual Flores" and that its current use as a museum piece, within the Museo Del Mar y Sal's fleet of historic ships, which includes the submarine 'Delfin' and the Patrullo De Vigilancia Customs Cutter, will continue for the foreseeable future. Built in front of the casino on

the Paseo Vista Alegre in 1918, the original Pascul Flores made several trips to the Caribbean. In 1929 she was featured in the Spanish film “La Ultima Luna”. When fruit cargoes were no longer available, ‘Pascual Flores’ carried cement, salt and other commodities all over the Mediterranean. In 1975 she was purchased and taken to England for commercial charter work by the entrepreneur Peter Gregson, who rigged her to appear in various episodes of the popular BBC television series “The Onedin Line”. In 1999 the City bought back the boat for 180,000 euros. However it was unable to be saved and in September 2006 the contractor had it broken up at a landfill site in Bigastro. A replica was then commissioned by Master shipwright Antonio Carrasco who rebuilt the boat to the very last detail.

The relaunch took place in November 2007 since when the boat has been situated in the Torrevieja Marina. The vessel has not put to sea for over 3 years and although designated as a floating museum neither is it currently welcoming visitors.

GUIDED TOUR OF GUARDAMAR

GETTING AROUND BY ROAD AND AIR Spanish airport authority AENA has announced that they will start charging to use the luggage trolleys at their airports at Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Alicante, a move it hopes will save some 3.2 million per year in the Madrid airfield alone. Sources have explained that although there is no specific date for the launch of the system, with a one euro fee per trolley, Madrid-Barajas airport will be the first network to have this new management model implemented. They have also said that those in the boarding area will remain free of charge.

The guided tour named “The Path of History”, which takes place on board the tourist train in Guardamar, starts a new season with a departure every Thursday with a guide in Castilian and every Friday with an English guide, leaving from the Tourist Office located next to town hall at 11:00 in the morning. The trip takes in museums, natural scenery, the castle, harbour and archaeological sites and costs just 6 euro for adults, which includes your own guide. There are discounts for children and for groups.

A coach from Archena came off the road and overturned on the A-31 motorway of Alicante in Tuesday, having dropped passengers at Madrid airport and returning to its base. As a result, only the driver was on board the vehicle, which ended its journey on its right side in a ditch next to the road. An investigation report released this week into why a Ryanair Boeing 737-800, from East Midlands to Alicante in January 2011, landed at Alicante without clearance, has revealed that, “The incident was caused by the crew’s failure to request landing clearance, believing subconsciously they already had this clearance, and by the deficient supervision and monitoring by the ATC stations involved (Valencia TACC and ALC TWR), which became aware of the aircraft’s landing only after the fact.” The aircraft landed safely with 168 passengers and 6 crew on board, but the investigation was hampered by flight data recorder information having not being preserved. The report criticizes both sides and operating procedures have been adapted to prevent a similar incident reoccurring. A group of logistics companies in Spain have signed an agreement to transport food around the country, which would otherwise be discarded, to enable surplus stocks to be delivered to the needy and the hungry. Acotral, Carreras Grupo Logístico, Chep, DHL, Europool, Integra2, Logifrio, Salvesen and Stef Iberia have all agreed to transport food for free to “food banks”, as well as providing storage space, as needed, to make sure as little of the food goes to waste. They have also agreed a training program for volunteers to ensure everybody gains some benefits from the scheme.

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ Barrie Mahoney was a teacher, head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands as a newspaper editor. He is still enjoying life in the sun as a writer and author.

THE CAFE BAR “I really do fancy a cup of coffee. My feet are killing me!” I complained to my partner, as we trudged around the narrow streets of a very pretty village that we had recently discovered. “There’s a cafe bar over here”, he replied. Pointing to the large open doorway, I could see several very comfortable looking chairs and two large sofas and a few small tables. “It looks clean enough, lets give it a try.” We wandered inside. It looked very homely with some lovely photos and pictures of the village, and people working in it. There was one beautiful, large photo of fishermen pulling in their catch at the harbour we had just visited. We sat on one of the comfortable sofas and eventually an old lady came over to us. She looked a little ancient to be still working, but she beamed a broad toothless smile, and we exchanged pleasantries. I ordered two coffees and asked if she had any croissants, as we had not had any breakfast. The old lady shook her head, but indicated that she could serve us with warm bread rolls, butter and marmalade instead. I nodded gratefully, and the old lady smiled, but warned me that it may take a few minutes to prepare. We were in no hurry and were pleased to have a rest. Suddenly, the elderly waitress appeared again, smiled her toothless grin, and left what appeared to be two large brandies. We sat and relaxed. The cafe bar was very pleasant and I admired the detail of the artefacts, ornaments, photos and pictures from a bygone age. Photos of camels pulling ploughs, angelic looking, freshly scrubbed children grouped together outside the local church after their

first communions, as well as many photos of fishermen long gone that adorned the walls. This little cafe bar was indeed a treasure, and we decided that we would be visiting it again very soon. I was puzzled to see the waitress put on a shawl, pick up a basket and then disappear out of the door. She returned shortly afterwards with what, I assumed, were fresh rolls, which appeared a few minutes later, deliciously warm and placed tastefully in a basket, together with a small pot of butter, a freshly opened jar of jam, and a small daisylike yellow flower to add the finishing touch. We thanked the waitress and told her how much we appreciated fresh rolls for breakfast. She beamed her toothless smile with pleasure, and wandered off into the kitchen. The coffee was some of the best that we had ever tasted, and the rolls were delicious, as was the apricot jam. As I was driving, my partner polished off my brandy as well, and seemed much happier for it. We took our time, and eventually the elderly waitress positioned herself on one of the armchairs at the side of the bar, watching us carefully, smiling her toothless smile as she continued with what looked like crocheting a large shawl. Eventually, it was time to leave. I beckoned to the waitress for the bill. She shook her head “Nada”, she replied, which means “nothing”. I tried again to ask for the bill, but the old lady became agitated and shook her head vigorously, followed by a babble of Spanish that I could not understand. I managed to leave a note under the saucer before we left and we thanked the elderly lady profusely for looking after us so well and assured her that we would visit her again soon. She grinned her toothless smile, nodded and waved as we left the cafe bar. Later, during the day we met up with a friend for lunch and I told him about the very friendly cafe bar, the elderly lady and the story about

how she went to the bakery to get us fresh, warm rolls. Our friend listened, looked puzzled and then suddenly roared with laughter. “Tell me again where this bar is?” he demanded. “Did you notice a car parked inside?” We told him that we had noticed an ancient car parked inside and at the far end of the large room. We had thought it a little strange, but assumed that it was all part of the 1950s decor. “The whole place had a ‘Cuban’ feel about it,” I declared. When our friend had finally finished laughing, he told us that our “Lovely little cafe bar” where we had so enjoyed our coffee, rolls and brandy that morning was, in fact, the private home of Marie-Carmen. It was not a cafe bar after all, but Marie-Carmen’s integral garage, which she used as her sitting room!

ANCHOVY ATTRACTS FISHERMEN THE MAYOR MEETS THE MINISTER TO TORREVIEJA OF TOURISM IN MADRID

Up to 25 trawlers have been attracted to Torrevieja from Barcelona, Castellón, Murcia and Almeria in whose waters they are expected to spend the next few days harvesting anchovies and other high value blue fish. The Torrevieja waters would normally accommodate boats from the coast of Murcia (Mazarrón, Aguilas) and the coast of Almeria (Carboneras, Adra). They have now been joined

by trawlers from Castellón as well as Catalan registered vessels from Barcelona Following initial hauls, amounting to approximately 106,000 kilos, the trawlers crowded into the Torrevieja fish market early last week where they waited in turn to sell their catches. The market is not used to such intense activity where there is now a lack of dock space which has been further reduced to cater for the expansion of the tourist activity at the Club Nautico. By Teresa Tejedor Torrevieja continues it’s major push to become a top Tourist destination by cementing closer ties with TURESPAÑA, who are responsible for the promotion of Spain as a tourist destination abroad. This weekend, they gave their commitment to the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon, and the deputy Provincial Tourism on the Costa Blanca, Joaquín Albaladejo, to incorporate many of Torrevieja’s events and activities into their cultural program guide, which they promote to millions of visitors at the different international shows they attend around the world. One unique event to Torrevieja is the promotion of the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony of Torrevieja, which has been declared of International Tourist Interest.

This week the Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel Borrego, held a meeting in the TURESPAÑA headquarters in Madrid, with the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon, the Deputy Provincial Tourism, Joaquín Albaladejo, Tourism spokesman for the Popular Party in the Senate, Augustine Almodobar, and Torrevieja’s Councillor for Tourism, Luis Maria Pizana. The heightened status of the contest now allows the poster of the 60th anniversary of the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony of Torrevieja next year-2014 – to incorporate the TURESPAÑA institutional image. Eduardo Dolon invited the Secretary of State for Tourism to visit the city of Torrevieja and attend one of the evenings of the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony which is broadcast nightly on National TV around Spain.

CALLING ALL CHARITIES CHANGE FOR THE GOOD OF ROAD SAFETY

Would you like to take part in a regular ‘Free Registered Charity Market’? A community event for all charities to get together, promote and raise money for their worthwhile causes. The mayor of Daya Vieja, Rafa Vives Pertusa, from the Vega Baja area, has kindly asked Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre to host a regular ‘Registered Charities Market’ in the Daya Vieja town market place. It will be held every six weeks, subject to demand. The Mayor’s office will arrange all the necessary licencing, amenities and law enforcement for the market. All that we ask is for each charity to supply a stall, (free of charge) and a market marshal to help with security and parking. EHCRC are advertising to find out if local registered charities would be interested in participating in the market to see if it is a viable idea. Please contact our Market Co-ordinator, Peter Cameron on 659-828-433 or e-mail market@easyhorsecare.net to get more information.

An announcement of increasing the speed limit on some motorways has met with a mixture of opposition and praise this week, with motoring organisations satisfied that the blanket speed limit become more adaptable, but those concerned over safety being against the plan. Principally, the changes would both increases the speed limit on some motorways and decreases speeds on most others, including in towns and cities, and would prohibit the use of radar speed detectors. The draft law proposes a maximum speed for cars and motorbikes on motorways and main roads of 120 kilometres per hour, and a maximum of 90 kilometres per hour on conventional roads, with width of 6.5 meters or more. Currently, these vehicles are allowed to drive at a maximum speed of 100 kilometres per hour on conventional roads if the road has a paved shoulder of 1.50 meters or more in width. For roads with a width of less than 6.5 metres, the maximum speed limit would be 50 kilometres per hour, generally. IN the case of town and city centre roads, the maximum permitted speed would be reduced to 30 kilometres per hour, whereas the generally permitted speed is currently 50 kilometres per hour. Some roads, where pedestrians or access may prove a higher risk, the speed limit would drop even further to just 20 kilometres per hour. As well as restricting speeds, which the DGT say is in view of the number of incidents on these roads, the law would also make changes to other elements of road safety. The current exceptions on seat belts would almost all be removed, so taxi and delivery drivers, the emergency services etc, would all have to wear a seatbelt, whereas they are currently exempt. There will also be changes to the rules governing the carriage of children. For example, children under four years of age would have to travel in an approved safety seat and face the opposite direction of travel, and there will be further restrictions on older children up to 135 centimetres in height. Cyclists would be forced to wear head protection whilst riding in towns and cities, as they are considered particularly vulnerable, but their passage would also be improved, as would their safety, by the reduction in speeds and the flow of traffic in these situations.

Calders Confessions

I’ve got a terrible temper and if I’ve had a bad day at work I can’t help taking it out on the kids. Usually, it’s just shouting and screaming but for the past few years when it gets really bad I slap them. I know it’s wrong and I always apologise afterwards and hate myself for what I’ve done, but no matter how hard I try I just can’t stop. I love my kids and feel so guilty. Suzanne, 43

At this time of year, aw we move toward another religious occasion, I always vow to make more of my life, and change the things I’m unhappy with. But the truth is, I’m not happy with my husband. We’ve been married for 20 years and have two grown up children but for the past few years I feel like I’m dead inside. There’s no passion, excitement, let alone decent conversation between us. Until now I’ve stayed with him out of duty, but I’m so miserable I don’t really see the point. But at the same time, it seems so selfish to risk upsetting the whole family just so I can be happy. Valerie, 51 A couple of things come to mind Valerie. Firstly, are you really sure there’s no hope for your mar-

riage? We can all be guilty of letting things go off the boil in our relationships. You say the passion and excitement has gone but have you done anything to try to bring it back? I’m certainly not telling you to put up with things as they are but I’m convinced that people give up far too easily at times. Of course the other possibility is that your marriage is, as you seem to believe, dead and buried. Only you can decide what the reality is here madam and only you can decide what the right thing to do is. Hanging in there because you don’t want to upset anyone else is hardly going to change the way you feel. Take a deep breath and look at your marriage, if it can be re-invented then give it a go, if it cant then think of your own happiness and call it a day. Ultimately, its kinder to everyone concerned to be upfront and honest, even if the initial reaction is one of shock. Good luck.

I can’t condone what you’re doing Suzanne, you must know that but as a parent myself I do know how difficult it can be to keep your cool at times. You seem to have taken things a little too far in terms of the slapping and screaming and I would go so far as to say your are bordering on being a bully to your own kids! Speak to your GP about anger management sessions in your area. By recognising this problem you’ve shown that you do care and understand that what you’re turning into just isn’t right. That’s a massive step forwards and you owe it to your children to carry on the momentum and get some help for your problem. You can be free of the guilt and confident that you’re being the best parent you can so long as you work on this and turn things around. Its not impossible so long as you have the desire to change.

Bar Room Philosophy or Simple Fact? What would a bar or pub be like without the right type of furniture to set it off and provide it with the right atmosphere?....not much I would suggest, which is exactly what your potential clientele will think as well; they simply won't return. “The final stage of a project after all the hard work and stress that has gone into fitting out a new unit from the ground up, or even refitting an existing bar, is, in my opinion, the most important,” said Stephen Bolger, the owner of Bolger Muebles in Torre Pacheco. “Whilst the finished project looks good prior to us bringing in our furniture, when an order is delivered it looks absolutely fantastic. When everything is in place just prior to the opening night, the furniture is the final touch, setting everything off. Instant atmosphere, as it were.” “That's why, in our opinion, it is vital to choose the right type of furniture for the type of bar that you have in mind,” said Stephen, “and to this end, we have a wide range of tables and chairs to choose from, either refurbished or brand new stock, ready to go and all made to a high commercial U.K. specification and standard for durability.” “We have supplied our bar furniture to many establishments, both up and down the coast and inland, for several years, and we find that the first time a customer pays us a visit, they are amazed to find such a wide choice, exactly the type of furniture they had in mind, and without having to go to the trouble of ordering from the U.K. usually with the additional expense involved for

transport and often with the chance of being disappointed once it finally arrives.” At Bolger Muebles you will be able to browse through their comprehensive range stock, initially perhaps just to get a few ideas or take some measurements, enabling you then to make a plan to see what will go where, without having to buy too much

or too little furniture. Stephen said that most of his customers s t a r t with 8 or 10 tables, and with chairs to match. Usually they return within a short time to top up their initial order with half a dozen small bar stools, either for the end of the tables or to put into corners of the room. Clients are able to choose from traditional pub style furniture with solid

or upholstered seats or the more classic or modern designs, such as Victorian style bench seats, poseur tables, farmhouse stools, antique leather covered barstools, dining tables with original old antique sewing machine bases for Irish pubs, modern solid ashwood 2.5 meter coffee tables for trendy bars or round cast iron Ladies Head tables for the more traditional English pub settings. So if you are planning to open a bar or pub soon or simply wish to refurb your exsisting one for the new season ahead, then we welcome and invite you to call and see the extensive range that we have on offer at Bolger Muebles. Bolger Muebles can be found at Avd. Juan Carlos 1 169,Torre Pacheco, Murcia, on the Torre Pacheco road F30 km. 8 after leaving the exit no. 790 off the AP7, heading toward Cartagena, not far from Murcia Airport, San Javier.

SAMARITANS EXTEND INTO SAN FULGENCIO The Councillor for the Urbanisations, Jeff Wiszniewski and his team are delighted to announce that the Samaritans in Spain will be working closely with the Office for the Urbanisations in San Fulgencio for the benefit of all English speakers in the municipality. On Thursday the 21st of March, members of the Samaritans in Spain will be in the Office for the Urbanisations between 10 am and 1pm to help any English speaker who needs to talk about the stresses and strains of their life. Samaritan Volunteers listen in confidence to anyone in any type of emotional distress, without judging or telling people what to do. Samaritans do not offer advice, but by encouraging our callers to talk about their feelings, we are able to help them explore all the options available to them. Samaritans in Spain is operated by Costa Blanca Samaritans which is itself registered with the Generalitat Valenciana as a 100% not-forprofit organisation under CV-01-042952-A and with NIF G54341466. Common reasons to need to speak to the Samaritans may be :* Relationship and family problems * Loss, including loss of a job, a friend or through bereavement * Financial worries * Job-related stress or overwork * College or study-related stress * Body image issues There is now also a 24 hour help line the number of which is 902 88 35 35. Talking openly about how you really feel can often be like opening a door. Talking can put you back in control and often reveals the choices you have. Many people feel pressured into hiding their feelings out of embarrassment, or because they don’t wish to become a burden to their family or friends. But trying to hide your feelings under a calm exterior merely saves the problem for later, resulting in stress building up until it becomes intolerable. If you need any further information, please contact the Office of the Urbanisations, Calle Madrid on 966 443 002, email us on concejaliadeurbanizaciones@ayto-sanfulgencio.es or come into the office.

WHY ARE WE ALWAYS LATE IN SPAIN?

You have probably been living in Spain for a while. And you know that being late is something that happens quite often in this country. Why Spanish people usually arrive late? Has it always been that way in the Spanish History? Are Spanish people late only when they meet people from other nationalities? David Ruiz is a professional native Spanish translator who covers Torrevieja and surrounding areas. His e-book “why are we always late in Spain?” p r o v i d e s answers for all those questions and will offer you a new perspective of Spain. Here is some feedback about the ebook: Jess Thomson

(Ciudad Quesada): during the past weeks I have enjoyed reading David’s e-book, I find it both informative and diverse, written with a sense of humour which comes over at times. I recommend this e-book for anyone interested in learning more about this area of Spain, culture, habit, all from a native Spaniard who speaks perfect English. Ann Keating (Guardamar): I found David’s e-book different to all other informative articles I have read previously, maybe because it is on a more personal level. It's nice too to have David’s ideas on why lateness isn't really a problem to the Spanish, and I can't speak for other expats but I know I now think the same way which does save an awful lot of stress.

PUT YOUR FEET DOWN! Following a spate of incidents where police officers have fined car passengers for having their feet up on the dashboard of the vehicle, one local police force is offering advice as to why this practice falls foul of the law, and is potentially extremely dangerous. Officer Carlos Javes told us that, “The information states that the occupants must always maintain a proper position while riding in the vehicle”. He explains that this is covered by Article 18, Section 1 of Royal Decree 1428/2003 of 21 November, approving the Rules of the road, in which he translated the description to read, “The driver of a vehicle must maintain their own freedom of movement, the required field of vision and permanent attention to driving, to ensure their own safety, that of other vehicle occupants and other road users. To achieve this, you must take special care to maintain the proper position and that of the passengers, and the proper placement of objects or animals transported so that there can be no interference between the driver and any of them“. In addition to the word of law, officer Javes explained that, “In the event of a crash, if a passenger is travelling with their feet up on the dashboard, the injuries that may occur will be very serious, reflecting, as the deployment of the airbag can cause more serious

injuries than it prevents in this situation, and, irrespective of an airbag being present, the glass from the windscreen can cause serious injury, not to mention the effects of a passenger being crushed by the impact between the dashboard and the seat”.

Sterling gains against the Euro as Merkel’s Reform Crown Slips While Turning Europe German..

Market Commentary 14th March U.K. inflation expectations rose to the highest in 4 1/2 years amid speculation the UK government will allow the central bank to place less emphasis on maintaining price stability when its announces its budget next week. The so-called 10-year break-even rate, which predicts the annual rate of inflation over the next decade, climbed to as high as 3.37 percent from last year’s low of 2.32 percent in July. U.K. bonds fell for a second day as a Bank of England report showed public finances will benefit by 17 billion pounds from assets bought under the debt-purchase program, reducing demand for the safety of gilts. The pound strengthened for a third day against the euro. UK Chancellor George Osborne will deliver the annual budget to parliament on March 20. Bank of England Governor-designate Mark Carney has signalled support for allowing the bank more flexibility in meeting its 2 percent inflation goal. He told lawmakers in February that taking longer to meet inflation goals if necessary was “superior” to refocusing on other aims. The pound appreciated 0.4 percent to 86.53 pence per euro, extending its daily winning streak to the longest since Feb. 8. Sterling added 0.1 percent to $1.4939. It slid to $1.4832 on March 12, the weakest level since June 2010. The pound last traded at 90 pence per euro in July 2011. The political heirs to a decade-old strategy that turned Germany into the economic powerhouse of Europe risk squandering the gains. Ten years to the day since Gerhard Schroeder unveiled a welfare and labour-market overhaul that economists credit with reinvigorating the German economy, his Social Democratic Party is backtracking while his successor as chancellor, Angela Merkel, may not be doing enough to keep the reform flame alive. “We simply don’t have the pain in Germany right now to force a reform agenda,” Jan Techau, director of the Brussels centre of the Carnegie Endowment, said. With the econo-

BRITISH EMBASSY UPDATES TAXATION INFO The British Embassy has updated its guidance on taxation for Britons who are resident in Spain, following the recent Royal Decree that reinforces an existing obligation on all residents in Spain – both Spanish and foreign nationalities alike - to file an annual informative declaration of assets held overseas. The Decree allows for tougher penalties for non-compliance. The guidance can be found on the ‘Finance’ page of the ‘Living in Spain’ section of the British Embassy website at www.ukinspain.fco.gov.uk. The updated guidance says: “Britain has a double taxation agreement with Spain to ensure people do not pay tax on the same income in both countries. In accordance with Spanish and international law, all residents in Spain (nationals and non-nationals alike) are required to declare assets or groups of assets held outside Spain. Assets may include bank accounts, securities, rights, insurance, annuities, property, etc and the declaration is a separate exercise to the annual tax return. “To reinforce this obligation, and as part of the Spanish Government’s recent ant-fraud law, the Government on 15 November 2012 passed a Royal Decree that requires all residents in Spain to file an annual informative declaration of assets held overseas by 31 March each year. Exceptionally for 2012 declarations, the deadline is 30 April 2013. “Severe penalties for incorrect, incomplete or late reporting can be incurred and the legislation also means that criminal charges can be brought in the case of non-compliance. The requirement and potential penalties are in line with standard international tax practice. “Taxation is a complex issue and it is strongly recommended that professional advice is sought. The English language page of the Spanish Tax Authority website can be found here.” The updated guidance is intended to remind British residents in Spain of their existing tax obligations.

my outpacing the euro-area average each year since 2010 and unemployment near a two-decade low, “everybody in Germany feels very smug and wants others to do the dirty work,” he said. The mantle of reform may be passing to southern Europe as a result of the euro-area crisis. Since 2009, German unit-labour costs have risen more than 3 percent while Spain’s have fallen almost 7 percent, Eurostat data show. In Germany, productivity isn’t keeping pace with wage increases either, declining 0.2 percent in 2012 and forecast to rise 0.5 percent in 2013, according to Eurostat. Last year, German unions brokered deals boosting pay by as much as 6.5 percent. Back in 2003, with the economy forecast to contract after stalling the previous year, Schroeder announced a reform package meant to kick-start a country that had gone from post-World War II miracle to the sick man of Europe. It was the biggest shift in labour rules and social programs since the federal republic’s foundation in 1949. Merkel got the ammunition to push economic overhauls across Europe to raise competitiveness, a reform agenda that’s triggered a continent-wide split over austerity versus growth. Struggling euro countries need to go through a “period of adjustment that is painful, as did Germany twice,” following reunification and Agenda 2010, Merkel told CDU members March 1. It certainly seemed to work for Germany, where the economy is forecast to grow 2.4 percent in 2014 after 1.3 percent this year as unemployment declines, the Halle-based IWH institute and Kiel Economics said today in a joint outlook. They forecast the overall budget deficit to turn into a surplus of 0.5 percent of gross domestic product next year. Information provided by Currencies Direct, leading providers of foreign exchange.

SPAIN BUSINESS BITES

The National Energy Commission (CNE) has launched an investigation into petrol stations across Spain, after suspicions were raised that they had been reducing the price of fuel on a Monday, so as figures collated by the European Union´s assessors made the cost of fuel appear cheaper in Spain than it was. The initial investigation has revealed that 70% of petrol stations dropped prices for a Monday, only to increase them again on a Tuesday.

The sale of homes in January rose 18.9%, to 39,670 transactions, according to data released this week by the National Statistics Institute. New home sales rose 13.5%, to 20,223 units, while that of resales rose 25.1% to 19,447 operations. Vodafone and Orange announced a joint venture on Wednesday for the deployment of fibre optic cable laying across Spain, with Orange alone intending an investment of 300 million euro over the next four years, with the aim to bring high speed internet connections to 1.5 million homes and businesses in Spanish cities. The gap between the rich and poor increased in Spain by 10% during the first two years of the crisis, between 2007 and 2009, a rate “significantly” higher than average in the rest of European Union countries, according to a report issued this week. The increase in the

Gini index, the difference between the most and the least, is the result of the slowdown in economic activity and “soaring unemployment”, says the document, which specifies that “households with lower incomes have depleted their resources during the crisis, unlike in the richest households”. Spain has redirected 1.2 billion euro of financial aid from the EU to combat youth unemployment in the country during 2012 alone, according to figures released this week by the European Commission. As a result, some 125,000 people, under the age of 25, are said to have benefitted from the scheme, but this has not eased the ever increasing numbers of those unable to find work, which peaked at 55.5%, second only to Greece. Officers from the Spanish tax office have announced their intention to increase inspections and checks on artists, performers and athletes. The move follows the special amnesty arrangements they had been operating, which did bring in a considerable amount of revenue, but they now aim to collect over 11% more than they

have previously budgeted for. They are now planning some 17,000 visits, as well as online checks. Pharmacists of Catalonia have called a protest on Thursday in the Plaza Sant Jaums in Barcelona, to protest about the non-payment of the Government, as one of the three measures voted on in a referendum and that includes the judicial claim of Interest generated by delays and a petition. This week, the Ministry of Health has paid 30% of the debt corresponding to January this year, 108.6 million euro, and it plans to pay the remaining 70% later this month, whilst some previous months are still outstanding.

Leaders of the PP and CLARO Groups who set out their manifesto last week Orihuela residents recycled 304 tons of plastic and 329 tons of paper and cardboard in 2012, according to data released in a press conference by the Councillor for Urban and Environment, Anunciación Belchí, who pointed out that, since the City Council took over the management of the waste collection service, recycling has improved. However, it was also pointed out that Orihuela is one of the worst performing areas in terms of recycling, with just 3.65 kilos per person per year of plastic, compared to 8.29 kilos which is the average across Valencia. There is a slight improvement for paper and card, with each resident recycling 5 kilos per person, but his is also disappointing when considering the average is 12 kilo per person across the region. The councillor also pointed out that, on average, 40% of all items discarded in normal rubbish is recyclable, and could result in fines being imposed, as the acceptable threshold for avoiding sanctions is 30% of the contents thrown away. The joint committee formed by opposition councillors from the PP and CLARO groups set out their manifesto last week, with a list of questions they require answering by the new councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, ranging from historic questions that have never been answered, including the 500,000 euro that was never returned to the coast at the start of the government´s tenure, questions that have been answered time and time again, such as the payment for the bus that runs from the coast to the city, to matters previously reported through most of the Spanish and English press, ourselves included, such as the award for the lifeguard and Chirungito contracts for the beach. Easter celebrations in Orihuela City are to become more available to coastal residents this year, with the councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, planning to provide extra bus services between the two centres to cover more of the festivities. There will still be the annual service which coincides with the Good Friday processions, but this year there will also be a service running on Sunday the 24th of April, to cover the

Palm Processions, as well as one for Saturday the 30th, which will allow residents from the coast to witness one of the most dramatic and colourful elements of the fiesta, complete with Centurion warriors, marching with the rest of the parade, in a spectacle that is little known outside the city walls. The timetable will be released shortly but reservations can already be made via the tourist office in the Playa Flamenca town hall. Following extensive discussion with the staff and management of the Orihuela Costa town hall, the councillor for Human Resources, Rosa Martínez, has now secured working timetables for staff in the town hall which will now see the doors opening from 08:30 in the morning, with immediate effect. This will mean that all of the services usually required by residents, such as the resident´s or registry offices and the Padrón, will all now be open from an earlier time. Closing times vary from department to department, and there will be a need for workers to take a break during their shift, but this is hailed as another step in extending town hall services and meeting the needs of the residents. Orihuela Costa local police arrested a 21 year old driver this week, with a blood alcohol level of 0.89 milligrams per litre of blood, when the permissible limit is 0.25. The incident occurred when officers were called to a complaint in the urbanization Villapiedra, when the driver showed signs of having consumed alcohol. Minutes later, they found the man at the wheel of a vehicle, so they stopped him and performed the breath test. The vehicle was immediately immobilized and the driver arrested, later to be released pending an appearance at court. A local police patrol on the Orihuela Costa arrested a 23 year old man, who was wanted by a court in Orihuela, having observed him walking on the urbanization of Punta Prima, and then began to act in a “suspicious” manner, having observed the presence of the police. The officers proceeded to request identification of the man, which revealed his wanted status, and was immediately arrested and

taken to the Guardia Civil in Pilar de la Horadada pending transfer to the court in Orihuela.

TORREVIEJA NEWS

The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, met with the Japanese Ambassador to Spain, Satoru Satoh, on Wednesday, in Madrid, to discuss possible collaborations in the field of culture and tourism. The meeting stems from the invitation made last week to the Deputy Consul General of Japan, Shigeharu Orihara, during a bonsai exhibition held in Torrevieja, when Orihara was said to be “surprised” by the high quality of the exhibition and multiculturalism exists in the city. Following the seemingly never ending story of delays in the preparation of the planned exhibition and fiesta site near the Aquopolis water park in Torrevieja, this year´s May Fair, scheduled for the second week of the month, will once again be held near the harbour in the city. Many might question why the proposed site was deemed suitable for last year´s Electromar music festival, numerous concerts, a location for the emergency earthquake evacuation drill and is set to host star of the Spanish equivalent of The Voice, Melendi, with a hopeful audience of 20,000 people at one time, and yet is still not deemed suitable for one of the two reasons the city council were promoting the benefits of the area, as a new home for the market and for fiestas such as the May Fair. Officers from the local police in Torrevieja held a protest rally on Friday, in order to raise awareness of the lack of agreements being reached in the town hall´s insistence in increasing their working hours. In addition to this, the officers are expressing concerns after 24 posts were removed from their team, mostly for covering auxiliary functions such as sick leave, emergencies and as support, as well as recent revelations that the brother of the councillor responsible for the police has received nearly 700,000 euro in contracts for providing private security, often allegedly without authorisation, who were acting in roles which would normally be filled by the police, but at a much lower cost. They are also concerned about the number of evictions they are being called to assist in, which they feel is breaking both the moral and legal promises made in protecting vulnerable citizens. A local police officer has had disciplinary proceedings opened by the councillor for public safety in Torrevieja, Eduardo Gil Rebollo, after he was caught carrying his service weapon and ammunition, whilst off duty. This incident dates back to December, when a Guardia Civil patrol stopped a vehicle in Torrevieja, which was being driven by the off-duty cop along with a passenger. The Guardia Civil officers searched the car thus finding the weapon in the boot. A complaint has been filed, signed by the councillor for public safety in Torrevieja, Eduardo Gil Rebollo, against two Guardia Civil officers who were allegedly “not fulfilling their tasks”, as they were found sleeping in their patrol car parked not far from the Local Police station in September last year. The incident has been under investigation amidst claims that the officers were elsewhere, witnessed doing other things at the time and complicated by the fact they are said to have been in an “unmarked” car.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE COASTAL COUNCILLOR

The councillor for the Orihuela Costa, Martina Scheurer, spoke with Mark Nolan on Exite Radio last week, answering questions from ambulances, schools, the Red Cross and campervans, right through to rubbish, recycling and the fighting between other political groups. Thursday at 10:00 is the day and time for your diary, as Martina intends to make it a weekly session where your questions will be answered, as well as telling us all what´s going on. After all, as Martina herself said, “Radio is important for communicating. We don´t do enough communicating, telling people what´s going on, so I intend to change that”. Meanwhile, if you missed last week´s chat, then you can listen again on the website, www.exiteradio.com, where each week the latest talk will be added to you can follow the progress of your question, and, if you do have anything to ask, you can email studio@exiteradio.com, or jot it down on a piece of paper and drop it into The Leader offices in La Zenia, and your questions can also be put to the person who has the answers.

The Torrevieja government team has finally found what they consider to be a solution to the problem of illegal street sellers in the city, the so called “looky looky men”, by approving the passage of an ordinance that they feel will eradicate the situation completely. However, rather than attempting to deal with those who are actually committing the acts considered as illegal, the solution from the town hall is to fine the victims, in this case, those who purchase goods from them. Under the guise that the fines will protect innocent buyers from purchasing counterfeited goods, the law not only ignores any kind of action against those carrying out the illegal acts. They do promise an extensive advertising campaign, which would have to be widespread if awareness is to be raised within the many tourists that the city wants to attract, as well as in every possible language of visitors who may fall foul of the law, as punishing the potentially innocent victims of crime seems an acceptable practice, though the question as to why they don´t act against those responsible first might be an appropriate question to ask should a case reach the inevitable objection through the courts. The Torrevieja telephone saga is still continuing, this time targeting senior members of the police, who are allegedly using their municipal mobile phones for personal calls, or at least they were until February 2012. One person cited used premium rate text services whilst “roaming”, clocking up nearly 200 euro in bills for texting from Mexico, Italy and the UK.

MOROCCAN TRADERS CALL FOR END TO RACISM

Moroccan vendors and customers protested last week about the continuing police raids on the market at El Olivo de Catral and the continual obstructions that are preventing them from obtaining operating licenses Market Vendors stopped trading for half an hour, gathering to protest against what they see as "racist persecution." They claim to be suffering from constant raids that are aimed purely at putting the market out of business. Although the Islamic community in the Vega Baja, are not usually not known for their demonstrations there were more than fifty vendors and customers who gathered to show their opposition to the racist attitudes they consider are being shown by the Guardia Civil. A large sign was placed at the entrance to the market that bore the message "The Moroccan community suffers abuse and contempt in this market.” There were many others carrying placards with phrases like "Racism is like judging the value of a book by its cover." The facility manager, Bouzza Amal, said that the market has suffered numerous raids, most recently on Sunday when Civil Guard officers once again visited the site demanding trading licenses from all the merchants and identification documents from most of the customers, which he said is not within its competence." This market operates on an undeveloped farm and began operations two years ago. The owner then initiated procedures required by the Government to regulate the activity through a "special plan on undeveloped land." Since then he has submitted numerous documents and plans relating to the environment, noise, archaeological, scenic and traffic.

BUMP ME OFF

AMBULANCE SHOCK

Dear Sandra, I read your letter on this page last week about speed bumps at the La Zenia shopping centre. I understand it might be scary for you, but we don´t want any more speed bumps in the area. I drive a low car which struggles to get over some of them. I am fed up with scraping the underside of it when going over the bumps. They don´t solve the problem anyway, people just slow down for the bump then speed up again, so they are pointless. I say get rid of all speed bumps.

Dear Sir or Madam, I have to say I was shocked and even disgusted to read your article about ambulances being cut at night. It is terrible that we can be left alone with no hope of somebody coming to save us in an emergency. With so few ambulances in the area at night, what about if an earthquake does happen, like Torrevieja was training for. Do we all have to wait until daylight before we can get help, or do we put signs up saying “No earthquakes during darkness”? I live alone in Torrevieja since my husband died 2 year s ago. All these cuts, in my later years, are seriously making me want to move back to Scotland. I can here to retire, knowing that I would probably end my days here, but the thought of ending those days in agony on the floor with no help on the horizon is too scary to think about.

SICK OF MOANING Dear Editor, It´s great you´ve put the letters page back in again, because now I have somebody to moan to. Funny thing is though, I want to moan about people moaning! I am sick of so many people slagging off the hospitals in Torrevieja and saying what poor service they receive. Firstly, it´s not like most of them are paying for it and secondly, the hospital staff do a great job, in my personal experience, even though they sometime struggle to talk in our language. But give a little and you get a lot back because when I was rushed into hospital with a bladder problem recently, I tried to talk a bit of Spanish, just the usual hello and stuff, and that made the world of difference breaking the ice with the staff there. So I say to all those who moan about the hospital, shut up and go back to England if you think that´s any better and stop moaning about the staff here, unless you do your bit to help them. P. Clement By email

PAY UP OR SHUT UP Dear Editor, Reading about the cuts to healthcare the other week, then the ambulances last week, I couldn´t help notice that you missed one very important fact. The government are having to make cuts because Spain is broke. They can´t afford the ambulances and health cover, that´s why their cutting back. But why haven´t they got enough money? What about all the expats who move to Spain and then avoid paying anything into the Spanish system. They move here, some still living on benefits from the UK, but do they pay social? How many expats are working over here without paying social security and tax? How many only pay a little bit? These are the questions we should be asking. Nobody

can criticise the government if they haven´t paid in every single cent that they should, because everybody who has avoided any kind of payment like this is responsible for the state of the country. Yes, sure, nobody will admit it and I expect you´ll get a barrage of abusive letters about mine, but it´s true. We all avoid paying what we should but then complain when we don´t get it given to us on a plate. Name provided San Miguel

COASTAL CLEARANCE Dear The Leader, I hope you will print my letter so I can say a big THANK YOU to the councillor Martina (Sorry, but I can´t spell her other name). For a long time now, people have been dumping rubbish on waste land opposite. My wife and I have complained to the town hall direct, and now, with our urbanisation committee, we forwarded our complaints to Martina. Straight away, she came to see us and promised to do what she can. We can see the difference already. Council workers came and started to sort the mess out and I for one can see the difference now. I wanted to tell you this because nobody from the papers turned up to take pictures of them working. We saw lots of pictures of Pedro Mancebo fixing things, so I would hate for the good work of the new councillor to go unnoticed. We waited years for help and now we have it, without bells and whistles, so I for one say thank you Martina. William

THE SEA WEED Dear Sir, I wonder if you or your readers can answer a question for me. For a while now, I have been collecting seaweed from the beach near where I live, so that I can place it in my garden around the plants that I have, as I read that it provides nutrients to the soil as it dissolves. Last week, a friend of mine who I go to the pub with told me that it´s illegal to remove seaweed from the beach, as it is required and often put their intentionally, so as to feed the sea and sea water. I don´t take much, but I don´t want to get arrested if it turns out I have been breaking the laws all this time. Nigel V. Guardamar

STOPPING THE FIGHTING I was listening to Martina Scheurer on Exite radio this week and she said that she doesn´t read what the papers are saying too much, as she would sooner get on with the job of being a councillor, rather than defending herself. I would just like to say “well done” on this. I for one was bored silly with the Pedro Mancebo and Bob Houliston spat, then the Pedro Mancebo and Monica Lorente spat, then the Pedro Mancebo and somebody else spat. All they wanted to do was fight instead of doing the job we elected them for. Enough was clearly enough and it´s great that a politician is only interested in one thing, getting the job done.

TV TIMES Dear Editor, I have picked up your paper for a while now, and it´s great by the way, but I wonder why you always print the Channel 5 TV listings. I can´t get them on my tele and I would sooner have something like Sky and sports. The same goes for Viva TV as well. I can´t get that but when I did it was the same thing over and over again, so I don´t think it needs listing.

BARKING MAD Hi, My mum said I should write to you because I wanted to know why you have pictures of dogs sometimes looking for a home. Why are there so many in need of a home? Are they just kicked out all the time or is it because they are living on the street and have babies? I think its really bad that dogs are always looking for a home. And cats. I like cats too. Why do people not look after their dogs and cats? Thank you Leanne, aged 7

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS CLUB On 7 March the Fed Fours Leprechauns played host to San Miguel Harriers. As I've said before, it's always tough against San Miguel and so it proved to be again, EI losing on three rinks with a shot difference of 32 to 83 - zero points to 8. Pity the rain didn't come sooner! On 8 March the Cavaliers were looking for points against El Rancho Mustangs in their quest to climb the league table. Despite winning the match by 8 points to 6 with shot difference of 105 to 99, they ask the question - will it be good enough? Time will tell. Also on 8 March, looking up the sky was beautifully blue and the temperature 24dgs. Looking at the playing area, it turned black, at least for the Claymores who entertained La Siesta Golds, winning on just one rink thanks to EI's Brian Donohoe, Pete Jarrold and Ron Ede's score of 27 shots to 8. The Golds won on five rinks giving them a convincing win of 12 points to 2 with 111 shots to 103. 11th March saw the Moonrakers play host to San Miguel Comets, our penultimate game of the season played on a beautifully sunny morning. Why couldn't we have performed like this every week? That's bowling for you! Our best win was by Sheila Wickens, Brian Allan and yours truly with 24 shots

to 9, closely followed by Marion Willicott, Brian Donohoe and Pete Willicott with 21 shots to 10. Other rinks were closer but in the end we ran out of winners by 10 points to 4, the shot difference being 103 to 90 in our favour. Also on 11 March, the Claymores had an afternoon game against Greenlands Sycamores. Games don't get any closer, nail-biting stuff this, the roar from the stands was deafening - all two of them. They cheered and shouted themselves hoarse. It finished 7 points to each side, but the home team won the shots - 113 to 109. "PHEW". On 12 March the Highjackers rode into town. Low cloud but warm weather meant fingers crossed for a rain-free game and the Highjackers didn't bring all their firearms with them All eight rinks were in use, resulting in one rink drawn, four rinks to the EI and three to the Highjackers - 11 points to EI, 7 to the Highjackers. Shot difference - 167 to 106. To rub it in, we all got soaked during the last two ends. I was looking forward to going out with my winnings after my 31 shots to 4 win but Donna Houston, John Wood and Frank King spoilt my day, winning a fortune with 33 shots to 5, so had to go home and make do with beans on toast! Bill Allen.

EMAUS PRESENTATION FROM QUESADA BOWLS The photo shows members of Quesada Bowls Club and Bowls Social Club visiting the EMAUS Children's Care Home in Elche where they handed over money raised by members over Christmas and the last few months to Sara Garcia, manager of the home.

HORADADA CROWNED DIV B CHAMPIONS Monday 11th of March. Horadada Falcons travelled to Greenlands to play the Maples. This was another tough game with the Falcons only winning on one rink. Final score 2 points and 83 shots to the Falcons; 12 points and 133 shots to the Maples. Well done to the winning rink of : Wayne Jackson, Kath Reid and Giuseppe Galelli, 26 - 16. REMINDER: The last game, playing at HOME on Monday 18th, IS IN THE AFTERNOON. The Condors were at home this week to the Broncos from El Rancho. A very competitive game which eventually went in the favour of El Rancho. However, 6 points to Horadada will help to gain some respectability in the league placing. Well done to the winning rinks of : Alan Russel, Carol Linehan and Jack Linehan 15 - 14: John Goddard, Joyce Reeves and Ray Hartley 19 - 14; Isabella Keith, Alf Woodhouse and Bill Stanaway 17 - 11. Last game of the season next week, muster all your strength for one last effort to improve our final points tally in the Voyager Table.....you can do it. Thursday - The Fed 4's were away to San Luis Whites, the match was never going to be easy. With a final result of 2 rinks to San Luis, but the overall shots of 55 to 53 in our favour, one can see how competitive the game was. Blast that Charlie Marigold who, on the last end, came down with a heavy shot to take away the 3 we were holding on rink 6.... that would/should have been a draw !! The team of Rose Guppy, Roy Thompson, John Bailey and Alan Pugh lost only by 2, well contested, points. However, Kath Reid, Roy Collins, John Hurlock and Giuseppe Galelli came away with a good win of 22 - 14. Well done all ! Friday Now for the real news of the week.. .......Horadada Royals have won the Division B League Title........We have done it at last !

Congratulations to all the players and selectors, and to the captain and vice captain who have worked so hard throughout the season. This success has been long over due, and is most appreciated. The final match of the season was a home game against Mazarron Miners and gave the selectors many problems ! Sorry to those who were not selected to play in this match. However, the aim of this game was to gain the points we needed to secure that elusive title... and this we did. So well done to everyone who contributed to this achievement, and remember, a title is not won on the result of the last game alone. May there be more days like this as success feels so good ! This week, everyone is a winner, but congratulations on the day to the winning rinks of : Bryan Eatough, Ann Allen and John Hurlock 24 -15. Peter Hinds, Bryan Guppy and Mike Douglas 22- 18. Kath Reid, Tony Burchall and Giuseppe Galelli 20 – 14. Maureen Semper, Jack Linehan and Mick Blunt 23 – 13. Wayne Jackson, Jim Kerr and Barry Evans 21 - 12. Final score of 12 points and 125 shots to Horadada Royals; 2 points and 89 shots to Mazarron Miners. Many thanks to everyone for the commitment you have shown throughout this season, and let us look forward our next challenge.

TMGS MATCH REPOR T, LA FINCA 13TH MARCH 2013.

Vistabella Golf – 12th March 2013 It was more like Spring this time back at Vistabella, the weather was close to shorts time, there were one or two optimists out there, but it certainly was shorts sleeves. Rocket had his cruel streak on him, when he announced it would be a Medal competition, but then again why not that’s what golf is all about. To top all there were some singles knockout matches to be played. So it was with a lot a trepidation that 20 members and 2 guests set off from Tees 1 and 3 with pencils sharpened and no calculators, no points to be calculated just strokes. There were some quite respectable scores as Vistabella as a Par of 73, the results of the day were: Gold Category

Silver Category

1st: Alan Moody Nett 75 2nd: Rodney Smith Nett 79 3rd: Ivie Davies Nett 80 cb 4th: Mick Hithersay Nett 80 5th: Les Yates Nett 805th:

1st: Peter Root Nett 74 cb 2nd: Malcolm Woods Nett 74 3rd: Ron “Rocket” Nicholson Nett 74 4th: John Trailor Nett 83 Ken HopkinsNett 85

Nearest The Pin: Hole 4: Malcolm Woods. Hole 8: Liam Foley. Hole 15: John Trailor. Longest Drive: Peter Root, Best Guest: Joe McGrath Nett 78.(Now a member) Singles Round KO Results Peter Root beat Ivie Davies 3 & 2 Alan Barratt beat Anne Trailor 5 & 3 It was back to Izzy’s Bar where “Rocket” Ron presented the prizes and for our favourite munchies, many thanks again Tony, Jackie and Roxy. Next game is at the watery monster in Los Alcazares, La Serena Golf on Tuesday 26th March, please be there by 10:15 prompt for the first Tee at 11:00. So bring plenty of balls!

Okay Mrs Horatio, we golfers have this one message and request, when Mr Horatio asks for a Happy Ending, he does NOT mean I am gonna blow and blow those dumb golfers off of the course. We request, to save us golfers from losing golf balls, from losing our tempers and losing our minds, please do give your man what he wants and let us golfers get back to normality…thank you. To say it was windy would be akin to saying that Alan Rickers could announce the news on the BBC and be understood by the world. It was that windy and that ridiculous. It was soon to be obvious that any score around

the 30 mark was going to be a respectable score on the day and there were just 2 players achieving that magical figure, one of them being ViceCaptain Mick Kennedy with a cracking 33 points to take the winners spot in the Gold Category and John Eyre the runners-up slot with 30 followed by Steve Higgins on 28 points. 28 points was enough for Jenny Morris to come home in top slot with the Silver Division, some 5 points ahead of Shelia Dean on 23 points who pushed Robbie Rae into 3rd on the countback system. We had 7 visitors partaking and although 2 walked off because it was too windy for them;

EL PLANTIO WELCOMES SMGS

COOPERS GOLF SOCIETY On Tuesday we travelled south to Altorreal golf in Murcia. The weather was quite warm to start but by the time we finished it had turned and started to drizzle. On the whole the course was in very good condition with good fairways and fantastic greens. Everyone enjoyed the day with a mixed cross section of scores. The competition was stableford over 18 holes. Results were: Nearest the pins: Hole 5 Dave Pretty, Hole 8 Taxi Paul, Hole 10 Vic Galyer, Hole 17 Tim Cooper Stableford Results: 1st Brian Smith 42 points beware handicap cut, 2nd Tim Cooper 29 Points Count Back 9 Holes, 3rd Vic Galyer 29 Points Our next meeting is at Alenda golf Tuesday 9th April 2013. Anyone wishing to join us in a friendly affordable golf society contact Brian 966 71 6340 / 680 696 838

Last week’s improvement in the weather conditions was obviously just to lull us hardened golfers into a false sense of security. This game of ours is difficult enough in the most benign of conditions but “golf in a gale” makes the task a whole different ball game! Had we all been meeting on La Zenia beach for a spell of wind-surfing, then conditions were perfect but as it was the only attempt at water sports was made on several occasions by a few of my nice new Srixons ….. needless to say they didn’t stay above the water for long. San Miguel Golf Society members trundled up to the hills adjacent to Alicante airport where the popular El Plantio course, otherwise known as the Green Valley Golf Resort, nestles against a gentle hillside. Those of us who thought that this sheltered spot may well shield us from the force ten howler were soon found to be grossly mistaken as it rapidly became a day of oscillating balls and flying hats! A Stableford Waltz was the team format for the day where teams of three endeavoured to amass as many points as possible heading for a par total of around 72. That may well have been the target under more normal circumstances but when simply trying to anchor oneself to take any kind of shot was near impossible, the scores were to fall mighty shy. You’d think from near 100 balls being fired at all the par 3’s that there’d be a bit of a tussle for the nearest the pins…….It may help to demonstrate how unhelpful the swirling wind was when I tell you that ONE PLAYER managed to stay on ONE GREEN…..and that was only by an inch or two. Many congratulations to Jacqui Marshall, a member of El Plantio, for winning NTP on hole 9 – must have been local knowledge! Once again it was the weather that came out the clear winner on the day but in the golf it was the three ball comprising Ray Ewins, Chris Hamblett and Norman McBride, with their very modest total of 58 points, that took first prize. Phil Birtwistle, Bill Preston and Eric Strachan came a close second with just one point less. Our very desirable and often much sought after “Abacus” award for bottom spot is usually a bottle of fine wine. However, Graham Cockayne, Keith Wickham and Klaus John had over-estimated our prize fund which couldn’t run to a bottle of vino each – they had to be content with a can of San Miguel per man, at least they were large cans! Pay a visit to www.smgs.org or give Phil B. a ring on 659 439 074 to find out about or to book in to any of our forthcoming Wednesday meetings. Visitors are always made very welcome.

the main prize was taken by Vernon Brown on 29 points with Jim Hunter claiming the runnersup prize with 23 points. Only 2 of the 4 NTP’s were claimed, Darren Hancock on the 3rd and Shelia Dean on the 16th.Photo is of Gold category winners. Our next game, Wednesday 20th Martch 2013, see’s us at the Alenda golf course, so if you fancy a game just look at our website www.tmgs.org or call the Fixture Secretary on 966 71 9604. We also run small matches on Friday’s and if you fancy a fun knock around, contact Steve Higgins on 968 97 8188.

TORREVIEJA GOLF SOCIETY At Lorca Golf Resort on 11th March. This was our first ever visit to the Dave Thomas designed course located at exit 17 off the RM 11 motorway mid way between Aguilas and Lorca. Most players met initially at the Lo Monte Hotel in Pilar de la Horadada to travel in convoy and after a fairly uneventful journey apart from an encounter with a stray dog taking his early morning constitutional in the inside lane of the AP 7 toll road, we all arrived safely at the course 1 hour 15 minutes later. This a very well designed and scenic course but is quite challenging for high handicap golfers as it is necessary to hit long and straight off many of the tees to ensure you carry ravines which lie between the tee and the fairways. There are some memorable holes, however, not least the par 4 15th hole with its island green completely encircled by water being particularly impressive. The course are offering very competitive green fee deals to attract visitors and for an away day trip it is well worth a visit for Society groups. On the day it was decided to play a 4 ball team Stableford waltz but due to a number of late cancellations three teams, with 3 players only, required a “ghost” player to add to their scores and this proved to be a critical factor in deciding the winning teams. Geoff Walters, Ron Smith and Ron Davis from the final 4 ball were designated to act as ghosts and after checking the cards the 2 leading teams each featured a ghost player although their contributions to the winning scores were somewhat different. The winning scores were: 1st Dean Charles, Chris Byron, John Connolly and Geoff Walters with 83 points. 2nd Geoff Branton, John Saunders, Bob McShane and Ron Davis with 81 points. Geoff Walters, Ron Davis and Dean Charles all donated their prize money to the Captain’s charity fund. Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Charlie Rodgers, Bob McShane, Roy Welburn, Chris Byron and John Edwards with Charlie, Bob and Roy each recording a 2 to share the 2’s prize fund. Next week on Monday 18th March we will be playing an individual Stableford Competition for the Stan Boyles Memorial Trophy at Saurines de la Torre and members will be able to check their tee times on the web site or the notice board in the Portobello Bar in Campoverde.

‘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. Return of the Tiger? The big question on everybody’s lips is “have we seen the return of the Tiger”? The history books will show that in Tiger Woods we have seen golfing phenomena winning untold majors and titles and in doing so earning a tremendous amount of money through winnings and sponsorship and only time will tell whether he surpasses the number of majors won by Jack Nicklaus. Obviously his off course antics have taken there toll on both his finances and more importantly his golf. Despite rising again to number 3 in the world he has clearly not been the same player and his inconsistent results and apparent inability to hit a driver off the tee in pressure situations have impacted on his ability to dominate events as he had previously done. Add to this the fact that all of the top golfers hit the ball as far (or further) than Tiger) and the fear factor had clearly disappeared from his fellow golfers. Well we may just have seen him turn a corner because already in March 2013 he has won two events including last weeks WGC Championship on the Blue Monster course in Florida with a score of 19 under par and more importantly the driver is behaving itself, there is a steeliness in the eye and the ‘fist pump’ is back and with the Master at Augusta in April we will see for ourselves whether the Tiger really is back. We at THE LEADER are committed to providing to our golfing readers affordable golf without the need to join a club or apply for a card but simply contact the number below to have instant access to discounted golf prices, many of which are exclusive to us.

John Woodey Memorial Trophy - 12th March Six years since we lost this ebullient Bristolian but his memory is preserved through this annual event. Las Ramblas was the chosen venue, where trees abound and are usually in the way of your drives and preferred line to the green. Guest Adrian Mumford found other obstacles in the way of his buggy on the first but he remembered his tank commander training and drove over it. He promises to get Peter Palmer's trolley repaired for the next event. In spite of some torrential rain a number of reasonable scores were returned :Nearest the pin (6) Joe Booth. Best guest with 36 points & nearest the pin (14) Ray Hewett. In third place with 30 points, Captain Alan Taylor. Second, with 31 points, Billybob Zilbert. The winner, for the second year in succession, with 34 points, Brian Layden (shown receiving the trophy from Capt. Taylor) Next society day is the 9th of April when we are taking a charabanc to Alenda.

HAPPY DAYS G.S. @ PERALAJA

At Vistabella 11th March 2013. In association with Costa Blanca Green Fee Services For this month’s replayed meeting a group of 12 players visited the established course at Vistabella of the excellent society deal obtained from Costa Blanca Green Fee Services. What a difference a month makes, we had a warm sunny day with barely a breath of breeze, ideal golfing conditions. Vistabella was in good condition, even if the greens were lightning fast. The winning scores on the day were as follows: 1st – Kevin Robertson – 36 points, 2nd - Grant Goble – 32 points, 3rd – Ian Noad – 31 points. Nearest the pins were Grant Goble on the par 3 8th, and Steve Sissons on the par 5 18th. The piece of string competition was won by Kevin Robertson on 8pts from Wayne Matthews (Kevin managed to use NO string, so hence the victor, as Wayne needed to use some out of the water). The rose bowl (now nice and shiny!) was won by the middle four ball of Steve Sissons, Wayne and Karen Matthews and Ian Noad. After the game we returned to the Ship Hispaniola bar in La Mata for well deserved refreshments and our thanks go to Janet for the on-going support The next society fixture is yet to be fixed but we hope to play La Serena and guests and more members are welcome so call Grant Goble on 667329772 or better still call in at the bar.

SOLID START FOR MAT FORD-DUNN IN SPANISH SUPERMOTO With the first round of the Spanish Supermoto championship getting off to a rather wet start in Seville over the weekend, it was Murcia’s British expat Supermoto racer Mat Ford-Dunn who came away with a superb rostrum finish despite the testing conditions. The supermotoland race team had a busy week beforehand when Mat wrecked an engine in the final test before Seville and the team had to replace his race engine with a standard unit from his spare bike. The Seville race track featured some long straights that put Mat at a disadvantage with a less powerful engine. After heavy overnight rain the race organisers had no option but to close the waterlogged dirt section of the track and the weekends racing was run entirely on the asphalt race circuit. With wet and changeable weather throughout the days racing it was Mat that made the most of the tricky conditions in his first race to come from 5th on the grid to finish a very close 2nd, just behind the leader on the final lap. The second of Mat’s two races was looking at being a repeat performance until a small crash whilst in third position, saw Mat drop back to finish 6th at the flag. The combined results gave Mat a superb 3rd overall and a podium position for the weekends racing. Mat will next be racing In Villena, near Sax, Alicante for the 2nd round of the Spanish Supermoto championship on the 14th April, where he will be joined by his younger brother Anthony Ford-Dunn who will be competing in the first round of the SM Road championship. The supermotoland team and their Spanish and UK based Sponsors ‘Advance Moves International removals’ will be on hand to welcome anyone wishing to attend the race which will no doubt be a fantastic days racing. Further race reports, videos and information can be found at the teams website www.supermotoland.com

ESSEX CC AT LA MANGA Essex County Cricket Club recently visited La Manga club for some pre season training. The trip included 5 days of fitness work some ground fielding, with the weather being so bad in the UK It was a much needed break for the players to get out on the field under the sun. Late last year Essex and Cricket España set up a partnership to help develop key areas in youth development of Spanish Cricket, some coaches from Essex will be visiting the Catalunla region at the end of March working with some of the Asian players based in that region. During the La Manga visit some local school children from Mar Azul International School were invited down to watch the players in training, hopefully the young children found it an inspiration to see some professionals sportsmen up close. The photo shows the children getting a shirt autograph by Essex and England wicketkeeper James Foster.

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING

CARP-R-US ANGLING NEWS

By Terry Screen The 10th and penultimate round of the Abbey Angling Cup was fished at the Eden Canal on the 12th March. The water has dropped by a foot and there was hardly any flow, although they are still cutting the bamboos down there was no reeds floating through this week. Fishermen need to remember that if they are fishing this venue that the cutter will have reached this stretch in the next week or so. After the flush the water has begun fishing better with only the one dry net this week 1st Richard (Fishing again) Kendle with 4.540kg fishing the pole using sweet corn well done!! 2nd Stan (The Man) Roberts with 4.200kg fishing pole and feeder using maggot and corn 3rd Mark (Kens Friend) Harrington with 4.140kg fishing Pole using maggot

This week the Clubs Match Anglers should have fished the town stretch of the River Segura in Murcia city centre. Despite the fact that the weather was a great deal better than 2 weeks ago, the water was well over the banks and going through very fast, so it left us no option than to go to the Eden Canal. Here the water was coming through very fast, with a great deal of reeds and weed, making feeder fishing very difficult. Winner on the day with a weight of 5.200 was Pete Kerr. In second place was Steve Collins with 2.380, third was Dennis Pick with 2.240 and in fourth spot was Geoff Tempest with a weight of 1.960. The next match in the Spring series the 7th round, will once again be fished on the Eden Canal in Guardamar- pegs at 9.00am and fishing from 10.00 to 3.00pm. Do not forget to book if you intend to fish. As the reed cutting has started it will not be long before the Eden will be off limits. I would like to thank Andres for the PIG feast that he put on, on the 9th of March. The next Quiz night is on Tuesday the 26th of March starting at 7.30pm. The next Club meetings will be 7th of April with the Committee meeting at 10am followed by the General meeting at 11am. The Clubs home is at the Bar El Alto La Dolores and Restaurant which can be found just off the N332 between La Mata and Guardamar not far from the Repsol garage.

EURONICS THURSDAY DART LEAGUE “THE ELECTRICAL SHOP” - BLUE LAGOON EURONICS PAIRS KNOCK OUT COMPETITION QUALIFYING ROUND 14 March 2013 Venue Rendezvous Busters Hattons Mirador

Winners Ali O´Keef and Paul Easton (Gogarty´s Gophers) James Brown and Chris O´Brien (Gogarty´s Gophers) Geoff Proudfoot and Joe Miller (Hub Hyenas) Rob Hawkins and Keith King (Hattons)

Reigning pairs champions James Brown and Chris O´Brien are through to this year´s semis after qualifying from a very difficult Busters venue. In fact it was a Whos Whos from the Euronics league with many of the league´s top players featuring from the Bulls, Gogarty´s, Madigans, Hub, Breakaways and Hattons. Unfortunately last year´s beaten finalists Steph and Tracey Simpson fell at the last hurdle at their Hattons venue missing out on a vital D16 to go through. At Busters the fancied Madigans pairing of Des Field and Jim MaceyLillie saw off the challenge from the Hawkins brothers Joe and Jake 2-0 after hitting tons in each leg. They proved too strong in the next for the Meerkats team of Eddie Bendelow and Graham Todd, Macey-Lillie doing the work with a 125,D20 and D16, to progress to the semi-final. Champions Brown and O´Brien faced the Breakaways team of Cyril Harrison and Del Lister and gained the two legs required, without reply both players hitting tons but Brown doing the double damage going out on 62 and D8 to set up a semi against the Madigans side. League vice chairman Derek Kingsbury paired up with son in law Alex Nikolov a former doubles champion himself. Their opposition in the preliminary round was the formidable Boris Ostrowski and Terry the Hag Hagenaars. It was the only game of the evening to go 3 legs, unfortunately for Kingsbury it went the Bulls way both players hitting the double and sharing 3 tons, with Nikolov hitting D10 in the second leg. The winners faced the Hub team of Simon Williams and Sean Smith who scored well but Ostrowski 46 out and the Hag 60 out secured the win to qualify. Another Bulls team, Trevor Hartley and Graham Dunning had a tough task in the first round playing the Gogarty´s team of Mark Todd and Kevin Fitzpatrick. Hartley hit both winning doubles leaving 68 and doubling on 20 and then D7 for the game, his partner supported with a ton in the second as did Todd. The first semi featured Field and Macey-Lillie to take on Brown and O´Brien. The latter figured well in the first leg scoring 120 and D10 with the second leg really warming up, Field recording 140,100, Brown replying with a 180 and finishing on D12. In the second semi Hartley hit 120 and D10, the Hag managing a ton. The second leg was a real cracker, the

Bulls Dunning scoring 100,140 with the Hag 2x100, partner Ostrowski with a ton. It wasn’t enough however as the dependable Hartley again left 68 this time pegging out on D16. The final saw Brown win the bull followed by 125,100, partner O´Brien 101,100 and D8 to take the first in style with Hartley replying for his team with a ton. Two tons came from the Bulls pair in the second with no tons from the Gogarty´s team, although 80 pluses were frequent. Missing out on an opportunity to level the match, the Bulls could only watch as O´Brien found D2 for the match and qualification. Featuring down at the Rendezvous bar were even more sharp shooters. Paul Easton and Ali O´Keef of Gogarty´s fame had to play a preliminary and quickly disposed of Jade Cox and Glen Hockton 2-0. Their second match was just as quick this time at the expense of Tina Kaylor and Ron Young. The Gophers side opened up a little this time Easton recording 140,100 and D10 with partner O´Keef 100,121,121 and helping out with D1. Their route to the final was blocked by the solid partnership of Amanda Skinner and Phil Waller, who had earlier faced quite a tussle with Andy Brooker and Lee Holtham (Hyenas). Brooker 2x100 and Holtham 100,D3 had taken a leg from the Bulls team before Waller secured the match on D20. Plenty of tons in the first semi, particularly from O´Keef 2x100,140 and 125 and Skinner 2x100. It was O´Keef who opened the scoring after several misses on D1 before Waller 100 and a great 72 out levelled the score. Easton came on the scene in the third with a ton and a fine D20 for the match and a place in the final. Their opponents were to be Paul Durrant and John Eyre (Kats) who yet again found themselves playing against Jay Sharp and Sarah Simpson, who looked like she had just stepped off the catwalk, which probably explains why it was a bit of a struggle for the old Kats. Sharp secured a D8 before Durrant 125 and Eyre 140,100,D5 secured the match winning D2 to progress against Karl Cooper and Grainne Sharkey. Tons and doubles apiece were enough to see off the spirited performance from the Sporting Misfits pair. In the final, two tons from the Kats with just one from O´Keef made the Kats side look favourites for the first leg, however missed opportunities from both teams finally ended up with O´Keef 140 and nailing D1 for the first leg. Second leg was well worth watching with Durrant 140 and Eyre scoring 180, Easton replying with 140 and 100. The Kats reached the double first only for both players to miss. O´Keef required 72 and promptly got the remaining points S12,S20,D20 for 2-0 and progress to the finals at Breakaways in May. At the Mirador venue league sponsor Debbie Mackleston was organising matters after a strenuous week or two celebrating her Euronics (Blue

Lagoon) third birthday. Congratulations to Debbie and Euronics. Fresh from gambling away her euros in Las Vegas was Sonya Cooper teaming up with George Caine representing the Sporting Misfits. Not content with cycling 500k in India last year in temperatures of 100°F Sonya either volunteered or was pushed by husband Vic off the top of the Stratosphere Hotel tower 880ft from grounnd level in a free fall dare. She survived the ordeal and now faced the mundane task of qualifying in the Euronics KO Pairs. Their first game featured a tussle with Mackleston and Dave Wright. Some very good scoring from both teams left the Mixtures side on 18 which Ms. Mackleston duly gained. Caine recorded a 135 and D9 in the second to set up a decider. Further good scoring, particularly from Cooper set her up for D17 which she achieved last dart for 2-1. Next in line were the Bulls stalwarts of Ron Chadwick and Martin Hastings. They went the same way as the Mixtures, Caine hitting D4, Cooper D1 after Chadwick had levelled, showboating on D1 (for D18),D17 in the second leg. The result set up the final against Rob Hawkins and Keith King who had earlier made short work of Ken and Hilda Wilkinson, King doing all the work hitting D2 and D7. King continued his accurate throwing with 2x100 against the very capable Shirley Roberts and Babs Warren, the latter hitting D20 in the first leg. Hawkins came into his own with two doubles D11 and D2 for the match which so easily could have gone the girls way. In the final, scoring was even between the two teams but it was Hawkins D2 who made sure of the first leg before Cooper levelled on D16. A tight third leg could have gone either way but King wrapped it up on D2 for a place in the May finals. At the fourth venue Hattons, last year´s beaten finalists the Simpsons got off to a good start against Hattons McCullochs (Julie and Stewart) winning 2-0, Steph hitting both doubles. Surprisingly they dumped Mike Snow and Mike Douglas 2-0 for a place in the final. Meanwhile Geoff Proudfoot and Joe Miller (Hyenas) were making progress via a 2-1 victory in their first match followed by an excellent win over Mark Filer and Bill Drummond (Busters) 2-1. In the final Proudfoot won the bull for the first throw and secured the leg on D16. Steph Simpson opened up his shoulders in the second with a 100,140 and D10 for 1 apiece. The Simpsons couldn’t quite match the scoring from the Hyenas, which resulted in Miller taking out D20 for the match. Semi finals May 9th at the Breakaways Club to include Knock Out Pairs, Mens Knock Out Singles, Ladies Knock Out Singles. Come and support your players.

WINTER LEAGUE played away to BBC Wednesday’s coach trip, gave us sun, wind and rain, arriving at BBC it was to a sunny with a steady breeze (as opposed to the normal wind), also the smell of Bacon and Sausage sandwiches which were very welcome after a 7.30 start. The game it's self was a real battle, with much concentration and no rink taking control, so after some steady bowling San Miguel emerged with a very good, in fact Stuart Denholm was holding game but Viv Erridge with her last bowl took the game for BBC. Total Points for 8 Points against 2 Total Shots for 66 Shots against 55. The Berleen Again, a good result for our Berleeners, good bowling by both teams saw us win on both rinks. On one end Carol Nicholas drew in for 3rd bowl, Carol Rudge was heard to say " And we had a measure for 9", so which person slipped the extra bowl in! Was that a senior moment Carol? Sabrina did the shots total as usual this week and the winner (with loud cries of fix) was hubby Russell. On arrival at BBC it was nice to see Derek King and his lovely wife Pam, Our past Club and Winter League captain on holiday in Benidorm who came to watch the game and have lunch with us, and as usual from BBC we had a great meal.

By Steve Hibberd Greenlands Bowls Club held their annual championships finals recently, in what turned out to be a glorious sunny weekend. We will have a full report next week although we thought we would include a taster below with a photo of the Ladies Pairs winners, Zoe Wilcock and Marilyn Fryatt.

MONTEMAR BOWLS CLUB (Sponsored by Super Valu) Monday SABA Discovery League - The Picadors played away today against San Luis and did not fair well at all. We won on 1 rink, lost on 5 and also lost on overall shots. Well done to our winning team of Colin Armitage, Lynne Armitage and Les Bounds who won by 26 points to 8. We need to get 8 points from our last match next Mon against La Marina Astronauts to overtake the Novilleros. Pts for 2-12, Shots for 72-140 Monday SABA Discovery League - The Novilleros visited La Marina to play the Astronauts We came away with 3 wins, 2 drawn games and one loss. We lost the overall shots. Well done to the winning teams – Keith Simpson, Peter Mathews & Alan Ashberry; Janet Charman, Janet Gatward & Mike Farrelly; Fred Charman, Wendy Oxley & John Corbet. This is the last game of the season for the Novilleros and securing a mid-table position having advanced from a lower division last year is a very positive result for us. The Selectors would like to thank all the players who have supported and kept faith with the team throughout the season What the Novilleros have achieved over the last two years would not have been possible without the support of the team. Points for 8-6, Shots for 92-97 Wednesday 13th March Winter League against Javea Green Today we managed to win on two rinks due to the efforts of Babs Caiger, Mike Farrelly and Harry Dobson and John Cooper who won two sixes on the last two ends, and Stan Routledge, Colin Armitage and June and Bill Young who won by one shot. Against a very strong team this was a good result. Points for 4 - 6, Shots for 55-76 Friday 15th March Southern League Division C. Not a very good result today for the Toreadors last game of the season at home against Country Bowls Harvesters. We managed to win on 2 rinks and lost on 4 and the overall shots also went against us. Well done to our 2 winning rinks skippered by Ted Hyman and John Caiger. Points for 4-10, Shots for 97-100 Info about our club or fixture details please contact the club captain Colin Armitage.

Following a superb 12-2 home victory over Horadada, Maples moved up to 2nd in SABA 1st div, and with only one game remaining, it's very much all to play for. Didn't they do well: C Thomas, F & M Edwards 25-11. P Goodfellow, S Hibberd, D O'Sullivan 17-11. J Clements, S Heath, A Goodfellow 31-14. M Mackay, A Toozer, M Fryatt 21-15. S Stead, M Brown, B Pocock 23-6. Also at home in SABA div 1, were Sycamores v Emerald Isles Titans. Although they lost on shots, these 4 rinks ensured that points were shared 7 apiece: J Oliver, Penny Tomkins, T Upham 1813. Z Wilcock, M Lockley, B Miller 29-19. L Miller, M Kilby, A Brown 18-16. B Doran, V Duchart, J Wilcock 15-15. At home to Benidorm(ish) based Finca Guila, the winter league got back to winning ways, being victorious on 3 out of 4 rinks, giving them an 8-2 result. Bouncebackability: P Goodfellow, T Sambrook, S Heath, A Goodfellow 28-13. Bill Sims, B Miller, Bobbie Sims, L Greenland 1514. C Thomas, Penny Tomkins, M Veale, S Cantley 25-8. On the lone Berleen rink, S Johnson, H & N Cork, plus S Hibberd, won 18-14 to secure the 2 points on offer. After 3 attempts, Marilyn's Bears eventually got to finish their fed 4s home match against La Marina. I say finish, because unbeknown to me, they did in fact manage 6 ends in the 1st game, which was eventually rained off. So, it must have been satisfying to record another 6-2 victory, courtesy of these cuddly Teddies: F Tilley, P Lockley, C Thomas, A Goodfellow 2115. M Lockley, S Johnson, J Parker, M Fryatt 18-8.25. Two days later, they only went and recorded the same score at home to Vistabella! With only 1 game remaining, these 2 winning rinks helped push their team towards a probable div 2 championship: F Tilley, P Lockley, C Thomas, D Webb 18-12. M Lockley, S Johnson, J Parker, M Fryatt 26-11. Meanwhile, in div 1, those horned bovines hoofed their way to Emerald Isles. Never an easy place to nick points, this little lot bullied their way to victory: S Heath, D Greenland, S Hibberd, L Greenland 15-14. S Stead, J Pocock, M Brown, B Pocock 17-14. So, onto the ultimate fixture in the Southern League calendar. Both our A div sides were in action, and both lost 10-4. Home to San Mig Jaguars, these 2 winning rinks went out in style: P Lockley, J Clements, C Lloyd 16-15. E Blyth, B Miller, B Collins 15-13. At San Luis, against a very strong Lions side, it was left to these keepers to tame the wild cats (sic!): B Tomlin, F&M Edwards 16-14. J Pocock, M Brown, B Pocock 22-12.

MANOLO HOWLER IN ADDED TIME GIFTS VICTORY TO GANDIA FC TORREVIEJA .0 CF GANDIA...........1 In a game remembered for all the wrong reasons, Torry conceded an injury time goal in the cruellest of conditions. With 95 miutes on the clock, from fully 30 yards, Gandia striker Carrillo struck a tame and hopeful ball straight at substitute keeper Manolo, who inexplicably allowed it to strike his chest, before bouncing into the net. The first 45 mins were simply awful. On 9 mins, a Vicente cross was headed over by Villanueva. Oscar had Gandia's first effort on 31 mins, but his weak headed effort was easily saved by Tur. It was Tur who came to his teams rescue 7 mins later, when he brilliantly pushed aside a fierce drive by Marcos. Just before the interval, Torry's Cuco Ros long range effort went just wide, then Gandia full back Francesc blasted a free kick over the bar. Tempers boiled over on 66 mins (this bad tempered match had already seen numerous bookings), when Marcos and Torry keeper Tur challenged for a through ball. Marcos clearly left his foot in, leaving Tur with an apparent neck injury, which required him being stretchered off and taken to hospital by ambulance. A red card was rightly shown to Marcos, who can have

no complaints. Midway through the half, Dani struck a beautiful long rang shot, which rattled the bar before bouncing to safety. Jorge should have done better from his header which went wide, as Torry completely dominated play. When Torry's Villanueva was shown a 2nd yellow card for an over the top challenge, it looked certain that the game would drift to a goalless draw. Although Torry threatened when Cuco Ros put in a good effort which went wide, Senor Manolo broke Torry hearts with his first save (that wasn't) of the game, leaving Torry to slip down the table to 16th place and just a single point above the bottom 4 relegation places! Despite a further ten added minuted Torry were unable to mount any kind of reply. Next up for Torry is a trip to Utiel, who are pushing hard for promotion, on Sun 24 March by which time Torry could have slipped down into the relegation places.

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB Week Commencing 11th March On Monday, the Eagles took on the Voyager league leaders La Marina Pathfinders and gave them a good run for their money, winning on 3 rinks but losing the overall shots to give an 8 points to 6 victory La Marina 113 shots to 90 in their favour. Our winners were Lesley Prockter, Brian Pointon and Russ Hudson, Pauline and Pat Rafferty skipped by Jim Harwood and Rosemarie Savage, Diane Hudson and Brian Dunn. In the afternoon the Albatrosses took on the Discovery league leaders Country Bowls Supernovas and went one better winning by 10 points to 4 and 111 shots to 85. Winning rinks were Stuart Allman, Ann Rudkin and John Rudkin, Martin Foulcer, Neil Burrows and Pat Harman, Barbara Brown, Sandra Burrows and Arthur Brown and Sue Mynott, Ian Kenyon and Richard Lee. This victory moved us above the Supernovas with the same number of points but a slightly better shot difference with one week to go and three teams separated by three points, watch this space. Wednesday’s Winter League game saw us make the long trip to El Cid and after a disappointing result when we played them at home fingers were crossed for a better performance and despite a 6 points to 4 loss 66 shots to 81 this was an improvement. Winning two of the four rinks was an acceptable performance our winners were Ian Kenyon, Les Barber, Jenny Bowman and Pat Harman, plus Barbara and Arthur Brown, Bryan Harman and Maggie Furness. Our Fed Fours team took the short trip to Greenlands

on Thursday only to lose 41 shots to 58 and 2 points to 6. Sole winners were Ann Rudkin, Jenny Bowman, Brian Harman and Pat Harman. Friday was the final day for Southern League games and with both teams pitted against opposition from the top end of the tables it was no surprise that we struggled a little bit. The Conquistadors had slightly the better result away to La Marina Seagulls losing 8 points to 6 but with a close shots total of 97 to La Marina’s 103. Winning rinks were Lesley Prockter, Diane Harwood and Trevor Hoare, Rosemarie Savage, Gordon Gowling and Jim Harwood and Pauline Rafferty, Jeff Neve and Brian Dunn. The Lanzadores faced 2nd placed Country Bowls Ramblers who were 1 point behind Monte Mar before today’s games and as we played in the afternoon it was no surprise to see the Monte Mar team turn up in force to watch our afternoon tussle. Unfortunately for them we lost by 10 points to 4 and 92 shots to 103. This put Country Bowls top by 3 Points so well done to them. Our winning rinks were Andy Leggatt, Ann Rudkin and John Rudkin, and Stuart Allman, Martin Foulcer and Bryan Harman. We now look forward to the final SABA game on Monday.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB The week started with The Pintos playing host to Quesada Diamonds, always a pleasure, on a glorious morning as well. Pintos took the rinks by 4-2 and also the overall shots. Meanwhile The Broncos were being entertained by Horadada Condors, a close match with both teams taking 3 rinks and The Broncos taking the overall shots, a great effort away from home. On Tuesday our Fed4 team were away to La Siesta and won on all three rinks. On thursday we played our Fed4 home game against Monte Mar which was postponed due to rain last week. Another great result for us, taking 3 rinks and the overall shots, 67 - 33. Friday morning found The Raiders entertaining San Luis Pumas in a tricky wind, as always a friendly occasion and a match where some rinks could have gone either way, as can be seen from the total shots of 94-90. In the end though The Pumas turned a deficit into a winning 4 rinks to 2 in the latter stages. Well played both teams! Anne Stone, Malc Sykes and Shirley

Edwards 24-7. Graham Day, Rob Clark and Eddie Thomson 12-17. Irene Thomson, Mags Haines and Malc Elmore 18-24. John Cleal, Mike Stone and Gary Newson 11-12. Edward Elsam, Ron Edwards and Brian Taylor 15-8. Mike Barnett, Mick Ager and John Skipper 18-24. In the afternoon The Mustangs played host to La Marina Sharks, always a tough opponent. The Mustangs took the rinks by 4 to 2 and overall shots by 125 to 97, a very good result. Ros Holmes, Mike Smith and Jim Rainbow 21-13. Maxine Wright, Enid Chapman and Bill Chapman 26-12. Beryl Styring, Keith Cunningham and Les Styring 30-12. Jim Jarvie, Steve Bowl and Drew Gerrard 15-22. Jane Hamill, Rod Wright and Stew Hamill 13-22. Carol Smith, Alec Morrice and Irene Mangan 20-16.

11th March and week 24 and Margaret’s La Siesta Sharks are still in poll position but now only by 2 points after just missing out to Russell’s Kestrels in Hoggies Bar. For the Kestrels, Brian and Pat were top birds of prey with 3 wins while for the Sharks only Mike and Bernadette came close with 2 wins. Closing in on the leaders are Shelagh’s Jaguars from Ebony & Ivory with this their 8th consecutive win against 3rd placed John’s Leopards from Catorce. It was a close run thing with 2 pairs from each team gaining 2 wins each. Up at The Sportsman Graham N’s “A” team entertained Mary’s lowly placed Izzys Peacocks and lost out to the tail display of these game birds and while all 3 Peacocks pairs picked up 2 wins each, for the Sportsman, Bruce and Tony were too dazzled in losing all their 3 games. Over at Catorce, John’s Lions gained a close and much needed win over Derek’s Bar Virgo Robins and pushed them down to the basement slot having Brian and Mary roaring with 3 wins, while for the red breasts only Jacky and George pecked their way to 2 wins. In Hoggies Bar with Richard away on holiday and Phil in charge, the hovering Ospreys drifted away on the breeze against the magic of Keith’s Merlins from Ebony & Ivory who had 2 starred pairs taking 3 games each in a much needed win while all 3 Ospreys pairs only grabbed 1 game each.

By Ron Sheldon

In Izzys Bar Dorothy let her Magpies out of the nest on their own against Steve’s Sportsman “A” team and the fledglings floundered with only 1 win for each pair, while for The Sportsman Terry and Harry had them cornered with their 3 wins. In Bar Virgo it was Val’s Voles fighting off Sue’s Jays from TJ’s Bar with a very close win having Ron and Elsa cornering their prey with 3 wins, while for the Jays their colours faded al little with Brian and Bernie turning tail without a win. Bar Meson Galea with Ayliff’s team enjoying a little revival against my Falcons from Hoggies Bar won a very close match with Juliette and Alan maximising with their 3 wins, while for the Falcons with claws withdrawn, Barry and Jill were our best with their 2 wins.

This is because Pauline has been absent from the Ladies Darts scene this season due to Arthur suffering severely from Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, Arthur was admitted to Hospital recently and sadly he passed away at the weekend. The Funeral was held on Wednesday, and Pauline has asked me to thank everyone from the League that attended. There were no flowers, by request, but a collection raised €260.00 for the Alzheimer’s organization. Pauline and Arthur celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary two years ago, along with family and friends. Arthur was always a friendly person, and he will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Pauline and her family, during this very difficult time. Ladies Singles Tomorrow, Tuesday the 19th March, the Ladies League Singles will be held at the Black Dog in Torrevieja. Registration will be at 20.00 hours with a 20.15 hours Start. The Draw has already been made at the Captain’s meeting, and Captain’s have been issued with the Draw Sheets. So those of you in the Preliminary Round, especially those at the beginning, should ensure that you are there ready to commence playing at 20.15 hours prompt. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Pam Horton, 96 571 0066, darts@arrakis.es
