LO N G AWA I T E D FA C E L I F T FOR LA R EGIA The councillor for the coast of Orihuela, Martina Scheurer, visited the La Regia park this week, along with a team of engineers, with a view to proceed with the action plans to rectify faults and improve the area.

The site has become one of issues for many years, being

on a downhill channel of rain water direct to the sea, often flooding in heavy rains, and becoming neglected for many years, with allegations of the site being ignored by every councillor in the position to take action for that time, it is now hoped that a full and staged plan of action may soon be submitted for financial approval.

A number of requests and suggestions have been tabled recently, most of which Continued on Page 2

would be far too costly to achieve, given that the site of the park is below the normal ground level. A suggestion for building a road right through the centre being the most costly suggestion, as this would require the levels to be raised, whilst channels are still maintained to allow the follow of water to prevent the properties nearby flooding.

This road would also split the park into two and waste a lot of space in what is considered to be potentially the largest green plot of land on the coast.

Instead, once approved by the engineers who are able to calculate and predict the flow of water, there will be a two stage process, according to the councillor, the first which should be achievable relatively soon, subject to financial approval of course, the second being a more long term goal with an ambitious plan that would create a focal point for generations to come.

For stage one, there would be a new multi-purpose sports field created, much like the one that already exists, but this will be built on the higher land to the west of the existing feature, in the area where the “pétanque” courts are. The benefits of this site are that it is raised above the ground level already, thus requiring less time, effort and expense. Once completed, the existing sports field will then be destroyed, with this area being redesigned as a channelling section for the water, but would ultimately include such fixtures as exercise equipment and an area for young people to practice on their bikes or skateboards, all around the practical fixtures of the water channels, albeit this is included in the stage 2 development.

As part of stage 2, the larger area to the west of the “pétanque” courts would be totally transformed. The plan includes a running circuit around the entire perimeter, which could be used as part of the other equipment to develop your own fitness regimes, or for tournaments and competitions, as well as community based initiatives. Around this track there would be plants, herbs and flowers, all former their own part of an interactive, natural feature for both

TORREVIEJA RESHUFFLES GOVERNMENT TEAM Following the resignation of two none elected members of the administrative team in Torrevieja, the Mayor of the city, Eduardo Dolón, has reshuffled the government team, sharing the duties left by the departure of Antonio Boix and José Riera with the remaining councillors.

Apart from the reallocation of duties, one of the most significant changes, perhaps finally taking advantage of a situation that had not been anticipated until a short time ago, is the removal of authority for the Local Police from the councillor in the centre of continual battles with them, Eduardo Gil Rebollo, with the management of the police transferring to Agustina Esteve, who will lose responsibility for hospitality, which have been given to Luis María Pizana.

Eduardo Gil Rebollo will keep the role of security coordination though, despite allegations that his brother benefitted from hundreds of thousands of euro worth of contracts for providing private security, and he will also take on the responsibility of transport.

Joaquín Albaladejo also has a significant change to his role, now taking on the Department of Innovation and Information, in addition to the roles already under his control.

José Antonio Sánchez is given Employment and Development, and María del Carmen Gómez Candel assumes the competences urban cleaning.

Dolón said that this, the last reshuffling expected during this term of office, has been designed to continue unifying efforts, in addition to distributing the responsibilities of those who have left amongst the other council team members.

80 DOWN, KEEP ON DANCING This was the legend on top of the cake made

by Valerie of Cake Magic, to celebrate the 80th birthday of Patrice Satur, on 17th May. The cake depicted scenes from Patrice’s early life, including his Armenian nationality, his Burma birthplace, education in India, workplaces building oil and gas rigs in the Middle East, Paris and Italy, and his home in Newcastle until he came to Spain.

The top represented Patrice’s lifelong hobby of dancing. He celebrated his birthday along with about 60 friends at the Olympia Restaurant, Mil Palmeras, where a sumptuous buffet was provided by Elena, and fantastic entertainment by Juke Box Legends and Andy Jones.

Patrice arrived in Spain in 2005 as a widower, and joined dining clubs, where he soon met his partner Diana, and they now live in Torre de la Horadada, enjoying life in Spain and travelling the world, just having returned from Hawaii and San Francisco. Patrice has two sons and 4 grandchildren, who live in Australia and Norway.

MANY SMALLER COUNCILS TO DISAPPEAR

As previously reported in the Leader the Spanish government are looking at various ways in which to reduce the number of politicians in the country, by slashing those at a local level, giving less autonomy to local councils in favour of larger administrative teams.

Now, the draft law on “Streamlining and Sustainability of the local authority”, which the Government presented to the Federación de Municipios y Provincias de España, or the municipalities and provinces federation, the FEMP, will lead to 92.1% of the 6,797 municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants losing the management of their basic municipal services such as waste collec-

tion, street cleaning, domestic water supply, sewerage, municipal centres and road and pavement repairs.

From the 1st of January, 2014, some 6,260 local councils, or 77%, will lose control over public services, due to the “inefficiency” of these groups, according to the finance ministry. On a pro-rata basis, the cost for public services works out at three times as expensive by those contracted and operated by municipalities with more than 100,000 residents.

Whilst explaining these comparisons, Cristóbal Montoro, the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations of Spain since 22 December 2011, used the so-called “standard cost” of utilities, for which municipalities of more than one hundred thousand inhabitants pay 445.44 euro on average per capita for all these services, whereas those of 5,000 residents spend around 1,219.98 euro.

The larger, municipal councils, in addition to providing the services, will also take on the responsibility for collecting fees from citizens, which the finance committee state will be “less than those paid today”.

The municipalities may recover these management benefits

within five years, provided they submit a viability plan that includes increased revenue and spending cuts. The Government is confident that “many” of the municipalities will manage to reverse the situation in the seven months remaining to complete the year.

This is only part of the proposals to streamline administration however. As part of these reforms there is an 870 million euro pay cut heading towards the 526,248 people who work in local government in the 8,114 municipalities, mostly to be saved in bonuses and “specific supplements” to the basic salaries, which, “public workers perceived according to the special characteristics of their job-destination, characteristics or schedule work among other criteria”.

The total amount the government are looking to save from the reform is 8 billion euro.

Proof of their dedication to ensure the workability of the

legislation will come from the almost immediate launch of a pilot scheme in the Diputación de Orense, where there are 92 municipalities, those with less than 5,000 residents already having their public services centralised.

UB40 LIVE CONCERT IN TORREVIEJA UB40 are a 10 piece live instrumental band soon to be playing live in concert here in Torrevieja with the legendary voice of ALI CAMBELL Formed in Birmingham in 1978, they took their name UB40 from the form that its members would fill in to receive unemployment assistance. Soon, however, that subsidy wouldn’t be needed by them, because of their debut album "Signing Off", which rose to number 2 in the UK album charts, thanks to the classic songs such as "Food for Thought".

The group then discovered their specialty, reworking foreign songs to suit their own style, moving them into their particular blending of reggae and pop. The album "Labour of Love" went platinum twice thanks to their versions of "Red Red Wine" and "Many Rivers to Cross".

During its more than three decades of life, the band has continued releasing hit records, achieving sales of more than 70 million albums, and successfully touring around the world.

Lead singer Ali Campbell has one of the UK’s most distinctive and recognisable voices. He has achieved four number No. 1 world-wide singles, over 40 Top 40 UK singles, 24 studio albums and an Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement.

A whole generation has grown up listening to Ali’s infectious vocals on classics like ‘One in Ten’ ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘Don’t Break My Heart’ and ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’.

In October 2007, he released a solo album, ‘Running Free’, featuring many guest artists including, amongst others, Smokey Robinson, Mick Hucknall and Sly and Robbie. The album was a success and went top 10 in the UK charts and attained gold status.

But the story of UB40, and how this group of young friends from Birmingham transcended their workingclass origins to become the world’s most successful reggae band, is not the stuff of fairytales as might be imagined. The group has led a charmed life in many respects, it’s true, but it’s been a long haul since the days they would first meet up in the bars and clubs around Moseley with some of them having to scrape by on unemployment benefit of less than £8 a week. The choice was simple if you’d left school early. In those days you could either work in one of the local factories, or shuffle along aimlessly whilst waiting for something else to happen.

UB40’s first album was released on Graduate Records. Their deal allowed them more creative freedom than if they had signed with a major label. The cover artwork memorably duplicated an unemployment benefit card, with the title "Signing Off" rubber-stamped in red, but it was the music that quickly worked its way into the affections of a young, mainly student crowd, with its knowing lyrics, solid reggae rhythms and dubby, instrumental passages, offset by warm horn solos and Jamaican style scatting. There was nothing else like it at the time.

As a multi-cultural band from Birmingham, UB40 weren’t drawn into trying to sound "authentic," and there was considerably more depth to their music than that of many punk and 2Tone bands. "I’m a British subject, not proud of it, whilst I carry the burden of shame," they sang on one of the tracks. Accepting the truth of their own situation amidst a sea of other reggae songs proclaiming that black heritage gave us a valuable insight into where UB40 were coming from. They were not afraid of standing up and being counted, and British audiences instinctively loved them for it. "Signing Off" duly went to No. 2 in the UK charts and stayed in the nation’s album charts for 72 weeks.

Tickets are limited for this one off concert which is absolutely not to be missed so book now to avoid disappointment.

Tickets are on Sale from Monday 3rd June. Email to Pre reserve your tickets now to info@heatwavepromotions.com. or contact our hotline on 966 79 2595. The performance will take place at 'Eras De Las Sal' open air theatre in the centre of Torrevieja on August 8th. Doors Open 8pm. Tickets will also be on sale from www.ticketmaster.es

‘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 GOOD LUCK CHARM I am always interested to hear what prompts people to leave the country of their birth to become an expat in another country. Often it is due to work commitments, or simply a desire to escape to the sun, and where maybe the retirement pound will stretch further. Sometimes people tell me that it is a book or a film that has inspired them, or set the seed for a dream that later turns into reality. It was a conversation along these lines that prompted one expat to suggest that I include a list of ‘Top Films for Expats’ on my Expat website and mobile Apps.

As I reflected on this suggestion, I dusted down an old copy of the film ‘Tea with Mussolini’, which I had not seen for many years. If you haven't seen it, you really should, because although it is set in wartime Italy, there are characters in the film that portray much of what you should not do or be as an expat, and displaying a heady mixture of Empire arrogance and paternalism that is both amusing and infuriating. Indeed, the story is not that far from reality as I have met many such characters in the last few years, both in Spain and the Canary Islands in my role as a newspaper reporter, who would be an ample match for the expat Brits in this film! Thankfully, they are now a dying breed.

It was whilst carrying out research for this new project, that another friend suggested that I add ‘Little Buddha’ to my list of suggested films for expats. This was not a film that I have seen, and it was whilst

researching the plot on the Internet that I received a message from a friend in the Costa Blanca. His mother, Anne, had arrived in the Costa Blanca for a visit, but before she had left, a well-meaning grand daughter had given her small Buddha as a good luck charm.

Sadly, shortly after receiving and carefully packing the Buddha in her suitcase, Anne had a large glass of coke poured all over her, ruining her new white blouse. Upon her arrival in Spain, Anne tripped and fell outside the airport, badly bruising her knee and arm, as well as her dignity and a new 200 euro pair of designer sunglasses. Not a good start to Anne’s holiday.

Since Anne arrived in Spain, it has rained incessantly, and the only time that Anne ventured outside was ruined when she caught and broke the heel of her new pair of designer shoes in a drain cover outside the apartment. The following morning, when Anne awoke, she switched on her bedside lamp, which promptly exploded, shattering glass all over her. Thankfully, Anne was unhurt, but beginning to wish that either she or the Buddha had stayed at home. I am not a great believer in the effectiveness of good luck charms, other than occasionally wishing that those who have a rabbit’s paw as a good luck

charm have similar luck as the poor rabbit. Maybe Anne should begin to question the motives of her grand daughter when she arrives home.

Perhaps she was jealous and really wanted a holiday in Spain too? By the way, I understand that the good luck charm is now floating somewhere in the Mediterranean, so if you should happen to find it, I suggest that you keep well away.

Meanwhile, I continue my search for films that have proved to be an inspiration for the intending expat. I now have a rapidly growing list, but if you have any suggestions, do please let me know.

TORREVIEJA NEWS

The councillor for beaches in Torrevieja, Francisco Moreno, has expressed his satisfaction that five of the beaches of the city will be displaying the blue flag of European quality standards this year. The beaches at La Mata, Los Locos, El Cura, Los Náufragos and Cala Piteras have all reached the required standard to be awarded the accolade from the FEE foundation, which also renewed the award at both the International Marina and the Real Club Nautico.

Local police in Torrevieja threatened a 24-hour sit-in in a public building before the end of this month, unless the ongoing problems with shift patterns, job losses and battles with the councillor responsible for public security are resolved. According to the union's spokesperson, the actions of Councillor Eduardo Gil Rebollo have led to a “battle of unbearable tension” that has led to “organizational chaos”. Complaints from the officers claim that there are times when there are “no cops left on the street”, overcrowding in the area for conducting investigations and reports on accidents, “one-man patrols” during weekends and officers being exposed to unnecessary dangers, and a catalogue of other matters which are yet to be acknowledged and discussed, not forgetting the incident relating to having signs changed to avoid a parking fine and the reporting of officers neglecting equipment and parking on the pavement whilst carrying out foot patrols. The councillor responsible for the police has these competencies removed in this week´s reshuffle.

Torrevieja will rock on the 13th of July, as legendary guitarist from the band Scorpions, Michael Schenker, and the supergroup “Rockstar” are amongst the confirmed artists who will make up a full line up of musical delights that is Torrevieja Rocks 2013, a musical concert to be held at the Soria Antono Park on Saturday the 13th of July, starting at 8pm and lasting for 6 hours, with tickets costing 18 euro from the usual outlets.

POLICE DISMANTLE BURGLARY GANG Officers from the National Police in Alicante have arrested a total of eleven people as alleged members of an organized group dedicated to committing burglaries in homes and commercial establishments across Alicante, Valencia, Granada and Murcia.

The investigation has been running for the last six months lead by the UDEV Specialist Crime Group of the Judicial Police of Alicante, which has resulted in the arrest of seven men and four women, three of them said to be of Argentinean origin, and between the ages of 24 and 62 years.

In November 2012, officers identified similarities in several robberies committed in homes and businesses in different towns of Alicante. It was quickly established that the offences were being committed by a single group, each member having a specific role, thus prompting a two-stage operation to apprehend the gang.

A surveillance operation was carried out in Muchamiel and El Campello early this month which resulted in the arrest of four men and four women.

Property searches were carried out and officers found a double-barrelled shotgun without a serial number, a box for an automatic pistol with ammunition inside, nine millimetre cartridges, a laser pointer and a blue flashing light.

They also seized a sign displaying the criteria of the National Police, a “walkie talkie” type radio, precision scales, various electronic devices, a “large” amount of stolen jewels, 1,032 grams of marijuana and 30 grams of hashish.

Following that previous activity, three men have now also been were arrested in Santa Pola, where two further property searches were carried out in houses in the town and again in Muchamiel, in which officers found two shotguns, a rifle, ammunition of various calibres and documentation allegedly relating to crimes being investigated.

ALL´S FAIR FOR TORREVIEJA FIESTA

The publishing of accounts relating to this year´s May Fair in Torrevieja, reveal that is has been the most austere in the 25 year history of the event, and has only cost the residents of the city 51,000 euro to put on.

Breaking down the figures, we can see exactly where our money has been spent. The hiring of three electricity generators for 5 days cost 13,975 euro. The company Acciona cleaned and prepared the port area at a cost of 7,741 euro. The lighting, rigs, wiring and installations required for the illuminations cost us 18,410 euro.

The town hall also provided additional police for the event, but this was supplemented by 6,534 euro worth of private security guards, provided by the company Defcom Seguridad, which is run by the brother of the councillor for security, Eduardo Gil Rebollo.

These are not the only costs of course, the private entity, Asociación de Amigos de la Feria de Mayo, paid the largest amount of the bill, here we are just looking at the contributions that the tax payers have made.

There is a little good news though, the association decided not to spend the usual 10,000 euro grant from the town hall on big acts this year, so that also made us a saving. Instead, the city coffers handed over 4,000 euro for hiring guitarist Antonio Fernández, otherwise known as “El Torero”, and another 1,000 euro for Jonathan Pons, but as he is a local Spanish singer, his travelling expenses are probably lower. Ernesto Huesca, the producer who provided these acts, had faced criticism before over profiteering from both ticket sales and from the town hall budget for previous events in Torrevieja.

We also found a little more information about the last minute cancellation of the bull fight and horse show during the May Fair. Information released this week reveals that the move was as the result of a complaint to the Conselleria de Gobernación by an Alicante businessman, Miguel Antonio Sellés, who had urged an inspection of the temporary facility as it been previously dismantled in other municipalities on account of it failing to comply with the rules and regulations relating to the purpose of use.

Questions were also raised against the Torrevieja town hall who were asked to perform the technical inspection of the facility, but there were apparent discrepancies and confusion over the complaint.

Incidentally, the businessman who first raised the concern operates his own company that hires bull rings, and has done since 1984.

ROUND AND ABOUT THE VEG A BAJA The countdown to the start of the summer campaign on the beaches Elche has already begun. One of the most exciting elements is a 400 square metre inflatable platform on the beach of El Carabassí, with different elements of entertainment for all ages. Lifeguard service on the coast Elche will run from the 1st of June until the 15th of September, albeit with reduced working hours at the start and end of the season, with six aid stations distributed in El Altet, Los Arenales, El Carabassí, La Marina and El Rebollo as well as five lifeboats, one for each beach. They will also be 28 lifeguards always on duty, along with two ambulances. Work will soon start on repairing fixtures and walkways at Arenales de Sol and work will begin in early June cleaning the pine forest of La Marina, but, the collection of rubbish in the bins on the coast will be once a day, and not two like last season, but will be strengthened if necessary.

Tourism chiefs in Elche have announced that the bus linking the town of El Altet to the beach that was launched last year will return again for this summer season, with the nominal fair of one euro for the round trip, although it will be free from the park, running from 10:30 to 18:30 between the 22dn of June and the 1st of September, and there will also be a bus serving La Marina in the same period, although these details are still being finalised.

The Department of Infrastructure, Environment and Territory has put a contract out to tender for the demolition of six townhouses on the island of Tabarca. The value of the contract is 503,674 euro, for a period of work lasting 11 months. Valencia had faced criticism last year that they had failed to act on demolishing the properties which were built outside the permitted boundaries, the responsibility which was confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2009.

Local police officers inspected goods for sale on the La Murada market in Orihuela this week, ultimately seizing 149 pairs of shorts, 28 polo shirts, 3 shirts, 324 CD´s, 265 DVD´s and a variety of smaller items, all as counterfeited goods believed to have been heading to the market to be sold. A check point had been set up for vehicles entering the market area, with officers responding directly to complaints from genuine and licensed market traders.

A number of traders evaded capture throughout the morning, but 15 people were stopped and questioned, although no arrests were made.

Local police officers in Callosa de Segura have taken to patrolling the streets in an unmarked, dark blue, Ford Mondeo car, rather than mandatory liveried vehicles normally in use, but the move is not part of an elaborate undercover operation, but it is due to one of their patrol cars being damaged and the other being unavailable due to resource issues.

The car now being used is one that was destined for town hall business, and the authorities may face issues due to the legal requirements of vehicles to be used by the police for both patrols and the carriage of prisoners.

Animal welfare volunteers successfully rescued seven greyhounds this week, after they were found abandoned in an old swimming pool on a derelict vineyard at Callosa de Segura. Having been deprived for food and drink for several days, an anonymous complainant raised concerns with the police, who immediately called the APADAC group who responded and rescued the near helpless dogs.

The harsh realities of the financial crisis will hit home this June as, for the first time in 16 years, Alicante will not have a floating bonfire for the celebrations of the Noche de San Juan.

With sponsorship investment looking at being just half of previous years, mounting debts, previous investments of hundreds of thousands, this year the bonfire will have to be lit on land, cutting the cost of the one feature of the fiesta from 21,000 euro to just over 10,000. However, don’t lose hope at the deprivation of this year as organisers have promised to reevaluate the situation next year, with the hope of returning to the standards of previous years.

‘Teeth Terror’

‘ADHD MISERY’ I think my daughter is suffering from ADHD. She’s really difficult to control and so much more naughty than my other three children. I’ve brought all my kids up the same way so I don’t understand why she’d be different. I find it so hard to keep my temper with her. I don’t understand why she has to be so awkward all the time.

Angie Nobody ever said being a parent was going to be easy did they? You can't compare your children Angie, they're all individuals regardless of their upbringing. Having said that, of course, as a mother, you know your daughter better than anyone so its certainly worth taking her to your GP to make sure everything is ok. Whether you're right or wrong about the ADHD, you will also need to look at how you interact with her. Right now, you're openly admitting to having a short fuse with her and that's no way for a mother to be, especially with just one of four children. This is one of those

‘Drugs have changed him’ I have a two-year-old daughter. I split up from her dad because I found out he was using and selling drugs. I allow him to see her at my house but he always turns up doped-up or drunk and just falls asleep on the sofa. He’s a waste of space. His mum has started accusing me of taking my daughter away from her dad and cutting him out. She knows what he’s like so why doesn’t she understand?

Lisa

problems that just festers the longer its left so get moving and arrange that appointment at the doctors. Nothing is impossible to overcome but it does look like you've got your work cut out. Good luck.

To be perfectly honest Lisa, I think you're being far too lenient on this loser. Although it pains me to say this, your daughter is better off with no father at all at the moment. I honestly can't believe this guy thinks its ok to let his daughter see him when he's sky high on drugs or booze. Your primary concern is your child and her welfare so forget about what anyone else says and focus on that and that alone. Explain to your ex that he’s more than welcome to see his daughter when he's prepared to spend quality time with her AND turn up sober of course! That's as far as you should go to be honest.

If your useless ex decides to get his act together, fantastic. If he doesn't I'm afraid there's very little you can do. People like him either decide to change or end up in the gutter in my opinion. Its a heart wrenching but true fact.

Calders Confessions

I have an extreme phobia of the dentist. The last time I went was about 26 years ago.

Recently I’ve been suffering from severe pain and bleeding from my front teeth. Even just picking up the phone to try and make an appointment makes me feel sick with fear. I know I need treatment but I’m not sure what to do.

Preeya Join the club Preeya. I've been petrified of the dentist for as long as I can remember. Whenever I had a toothache as a boy my mum used to talk me into going along to the dentist. She used to say "its just a few moments of discomfort to relieve the pain forever" and although she was right, it never really helped me overcome my phobia. The point is though, you're in real pain now and the only way to cure it is to get past your fears. I don't think people like you and I will ever truly be happy in the dentists chair but what's the alternative? Largely, provided you have a good dentist who understands you and your fears, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Your biggest enemy isn't the dentist, its you and your own fear! You've two options, continued pain or relief! It boils down to common sense in the end I guess.

NEGLECT OF THE ORIHU ELA COSTA INFRASTRUCTURE The fact that Orihuela Costa continues to receive the leftovers from the Orihuela trough is easy to detect. Just take a drive around the area and you can see that the large urbanisations that were built in the boom years are very poorly serviced in relation to the rich and subsidised amenities that residents of Orihuela City enjoy.

The city of Orihuela derived an enormous boost to corporate coffers as a direct consequence of the drive to cover the coastal region with countless developments, many built without all the necessary permissions required under Spanish law. Now these urbanisations are populated with residents paying their property taxes. The majority of this money continues to benefit the ambitions and schemes of the local politicians most of whom are resident in Orihuela city, in developing and subsidising services for the benefit of the city dweller.

The appalling difference in services between the city and the coastal area is evident in every area. Due to the lack of real democratic representation for the Costa, there is hardly a voice advocating for the coastal residents on the municipality’s council, hence decisions taken that directly affect Costa residents are taken by individuals who have no affinity, understanding or pride in this locality. It isn’t hard to visualise how Orihuela budget and spending meetings are conducted, surpluses and spending must be delivered to areas where the councillors actually live, to people they actually interact with. The lone voice of an expat representative can be marginalised, laughed at and very

effectively ignored. I’m sure that the typical view is expressed that immigrants expect everything their own way and are always complaining. However, the lack of facilities along Orihuela Costa affects all residents, Spanish included.

The continuing saga of the development of Cala Mosca is a good example of this total disregard of the wishes and interests of people actually affected by a decision that is made 30 kilometres away. If you surveyed coastal inhabitants from all nationalities about their views on the development of this area there would be a resounding no.

However, when councillors who have no knowledge and no liking for the area are making the decisions all they can see is another hefty boost to coffers of Orihuela and another windfall that can be pumped into the already over resourced and rich city. Further they then deflect any complaints as another example of immigrants stirring up feelings and not being able to accept Spanish decision making.

It would be very interesting to see the spending breakdown of the Orihuela Municipality. If population distribution is important in budget allocation, then reason would surely dictate that the coast should receive equal amounts of spending as the city as the difference in the populations between the city and the coast is just 706!

The continuing saga of the development of Cala Mosca is a good example of this total disregard of the wishes and interests of people actually affected by a decision that is made 30 kilometres away.

Sandpiper The population of Orihuela Costa need to ensure their voice is heard and the only way to achieve this is to ensure that residents are on the electoral register and make sure they vote in local elections.

AROUND ORIHUELA AND THE COSTA The mayor of Orihuela, Monserrate Guillén and the councillor for Town Planning, Antonio Zapata, met with the UK´s Vice Consul, Lloyd Milen this week; to discuss various issues affecting British citizens living in Orihuela.

Volunteers are still sought to assist in running and operating the new reading point on the Orihuela Costa. Many political groups had been insisting that the residents both wanted and needed a library and were keen to get involved, but since the announcement of an interim solution to providing the service, only two people have come forward to offer their support. Volunteers are needed on both a regular and ad-hoc basis and there is a simple form to complete to indicate your potential availability to assist in this community based initiative, either now or in the future, available via the resident’s office in the Playa Flamenca town hall.

The councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, along with her team, visited the Altos de Campoamor residential area this week, where residents have been complaining about lack of and broken waste bins, faults in paving and roads, and issues relating to the safety and security of the area, all of which have been collated by urbanisation presidents and their administrators, which the town hall are now starting to address. A number of residents praised the government team, as many of them claimed it is the first time any member of the council has visited them since 2007.

Milen expressed an interest in urban management and asked the municipality and municipal representatives to provide information on granting certificates of occupancy, urban sanctions, regularization of illegal properties and the condition of the Coastal Act in Orihuela. The Vice Consul also thanked the government team of Orihuela for their work in social services, where many British citizens have been helped, highlighting “the close collaboration between the City and the British Consulate, according to Guillén. The Mayor also offered assistance in providing an area in Orihuela for the Vice Consul to meet face to face with Brits living abroad.

The councillor for the coast of Orihuela, Martina Scheurer of the Los Verdes green party, has been defending herself against allegations from the former coastal councillor, Pedro Mancebo, who states that she is responsible for contract irregularities in the award for life guard services during the Easter period. Mancebo alleges that the two companies who bid for the work were in fact the same firm, whereas the documents presented by the councillor, provided by the contracts department, clearly show two different names, addresses and registration numbers for the two companies who were shortlisted in the tender process.

Government of Catalonia so there can be no unelected bodies in the government. However, this is only a temporary state for Gallud, who will take the place as an elected member of the team from the next council meeting, following the resignation of a more senior Los Verdes councillor which automatically paved the way for his appointment. The ruling affects all non elected members of government teams around the country.

During a press conference this week, former mayor of Orihuela, Mónica Lorente, answered questions about the PP´s position with regards to the CLR political group, to which she said that the “door is open” to a coalition partnership. Members of CLR would still hold the rights to call a Motion Censure, which could force the bi-party coalition to resign, so their affiliation with the Partido Popular could enable them to cease power. However, also facing the press today, Pedro Mancebo, an ousted member of government and member of the CLR, stated that his party still intend to represent the voice of the voters in keeping his end of election promises.

The two unelected councillors serving in the Orihuela government team, Ana Mas of the PSOE and Manuel Gallud from the Los Verdes, were forced to leave their posts on Friday, as the anticipated official state bulletin was published on the judgment of the Constitutional Court who had partially upheld a challenge brought in 2004 by the

The Orihuela Costa town hall are still keen to receive the complaints, comments or praise from residents of the municipality who would like to raise any kind of issue with them, from missing or broken signs, holes in the ground, license or retailer matters, and any other matters that affect the health, safety and comfort of residents. Unless problems are reported to the officials, they cannot be justly criticised for not taking action. The email address for any enquiry or problem is: residentes@orihuela.es

Line Dancers Donate to “Holidays 4 HEROES” On Wednesday afternoon Justin Farrier receiving the 22nd May, the Arches Line cheque from Linda Chitty Dancers presented a cheque for €1550 to Justin Farrier of Holidays 4 Heroes in Spain.

Linda Chitty presented the cheque in the room provided Free of Charge by Ali of the Arches café. Linda confirmed that the money had been raised by the contributions of those attending the Line Dancing sessions and that they like to support local charities. After the event, Linda was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Bella Brooker in appreciation of all the time and effort she devotes to raising money for charity.

Justin explained that, with that money, he can provide a week’s holiday accommodation for fifteen families for a month in either La Torre Golf or at El Valley Golf. Applications are catered for from all three arms of the British Forces.

Many of the personnel are multiple amputees, who have been through the rehabilitation centre at Hedley Court, near Epsom race course. Others are suffering from P. T. S D. and other war related injuries. Holidays 4 Heroes also welcome widows, children and parents of deceased service personnel, which is the other face of war; those that are left behind and have to deal with the loss of a loved one .

Last year of the 167 families benefiting from the holiday scheme, 130 came to Spain. Justin provides close personal support starting before the arrival to driving them to the beach, the Water Park or shopping. By far the most popular choice is the beach for the children. The aim of the Charity is to increase the number of families by 10% each year.

Justin expressed his gratitude for the donation and support and explained that as well as money, people can give of their time e.g. at a Bar B Q or the use of a villa. He can be contacted on (m) 633102479 and their web site is: www.holidays4heroes.org

PROMOTING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING One of the biggest problems within communities here in Spain is bringing residents of differing languages together so they can better understand each other.

Invariably those nationalities with the largest number of residents take control, and the result is often growing mistrust among minorities that decisions are being taken without knowledge or approval.

One community which is trying to break down the barriers is in Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa, which has organised a series of street parties, which are proving very popular, bringing nibbles and bottles of drinks to share.

The majority are English speaking, but it has brought along other nationalities too Spanish, Belgian, Norwegian, Austrian and Dutch.

"The first street party was attended by more than 30 people and it surprised us how many said they had barely spoken to people before, maybe just saying hello, and were pleased they had enlarged their circle of friends," said president Barry Dutton.

LOCAL NEWS R OUNDUP The “Magic Costa Blanca Group” of hotels, who have their headquarters in Benidorm, has announced that they are giving away 50 holidays to Spanish families who can´t afford the luxury of a break, because they may be facing the eviction processes, long-term unemployed or other circumstances arising from the economic crisis. The company issued a statement saying this committed in a while for the right of all Spanish to enjoy a holiday, as reported Tuesday sources chains in a statement. Unfortunately, the family can´t be so poor as to have lost their internet connection as registration and application will be done through a dedicated website, but so long as the process is approved it will go some way to easing the stress of families facing hardship in these austere times.

Following an incident at a retail outlet at Rincon de Loix in Benidorm, in which a shop owner attempted to defend himself against a robbery, it has been revealed that there has been a 26% decrease in the number of police officers patrolling the streets of the town in recent years. Union sources estimate that since 2010, the number of officers on the streets have reduced from 269 to 242 in November, and on top of that, up to 31 officers have been placed on “secondary activities”, or performing other tasks, and therefore are no longer on the street, and a further 12 contracts were not renewed. There is some growth in one sector though with the number of “interim police” officers increasing from 8 to 17, although these officers cannot carry weapons and are largely responsible for traffic control duties only.

Hotel occupancy in Benidorm increased in the first half of May, with a 6.9% boost over the same period of 2012. Hotels saw 85.5% occupancy, with domestic tourism showing the biggest increase with 11% more Spaniards visiting the holiday destination compared to last year. Cheaper prices of accom-

modation and leisure are the principle factor in Spaniards choosing Benidorm over other destinations, a factor which is also seen as one of risk for the security of the sector. That said, initial estimates are that the second half of May will bring 87% occupancy, with the British holiday makers still leading with the Spanish, Brits increasing by 7% to total 226,000 overnight stays, accounting for a total combined figure of 90% of all visitors, making the prospect of May becoming the busiest for some years.

Police in Murcia have been displaying their support to the harm caused by criminal offences against intellectual property. Data provided by them shows that between 2011 and 2012 they have commandeered around 20,000 illegal CD and DVD´s worth 312,355 euro from street vendors. Given what they consider to be the seriousness of the offences, where the value of goods exceeds 400 euro, the crime is dealt with as a criminal offence, and officers frequently patrol markets and streets with specific mandate of searching for counterfeited goods like CD´s, DVD´s, perfume and clothing. This procedure is in stark contrast to that of Torrevieja who plan to deal with the problem by fining the buyer whilst ignoring those who would be classed as criminals in Murcia.

A new ordinance set to be enforced across Murcia will allow prostitutes to exhibit and recruit clients on the streets of the region, so long as they do not operate within 300 metres of a school or “other public place”. The distance is an increase of the 200 metre limit already under discussion. The changes have been submitted as part of consultations between sex workers and representatives of residents. Fines will remain at up to 3,000 euro for both prostitutes and clients who break the rules, with repeat offenders facing court action. The notion will be put to the vote in the next few weeks with immediate implementation upon approval, as anticipated.

ASSET DECL AR A TION Dear Editor, I felt that I had to write and make other Readers aware that the Asset Declaration is NOT for information purposes Only.

My partner came to live in Spain in 2009 after living in the same house in the UK from 1997 until 2009 and, at times, until he sold it in 2013.

As he followed all the Spanish rules he became a resident here and he subsequently made the Asset Declaration in January this year.

When he returned to the accountant in April 2013 to sign the form he advised the accountant that he had sold this house and was informed that he would have a Capital Gains Tax liability at the end of 2013 of approximately 30,000 euros here in Spain.

You can imagine our horror, this law has just been introduced and the CGT calculation is not taking into account any improvement done to the property and the time that my partner was not living in Spain, ie 1997 to 2009 which was the time when his property increased in value.

Apparently his house in the UK is considered a 2nd home although he doesn’t own one in Spain. If there is any liability it should be from the time he moved to Spain and not retrospectively he would be prepared to pay any CGT for that period.

We have taken advice from 2 other accountants and they have both concurred with our accountant.

He has never taken anything from Spain and being a pensioner not even had a SIP card. He brought over a sum of money which was used to extend my house so has invested a great deal of money in Spain already.

On principle, the only option we have is to return to the UK which we are doing in the next couple of weeks and probably won’t return until this law is reviewed.

This law is ill conceived, it is biting the hand that feeds them, ex-pats, pensioners with disposable income. We are ordinary people living on a pension.

When we visited our town councillors they still believed this law was for information only and were advising locals of this fact.

After outlining our case they have made further investigation and are planning to go to Madrid

to discuss this issue.

We would be interested in any other people who are in the same situation – we have registered on the petition http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/spains-assetdeclaration-laws-en.html and would advise all ex-pats of any nation to do the same.

Javea council have already made a case regarding this law.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR Dear Editor, Dear Editor, In answer to a recent letter headlined 'A Bridge To Far' from P.Crane of La Florida I would like to make the following comments. He/She is right about there being a 2K fence but this does not prevent access to the coastline because just to the right of this fence is direct access to the beaches, which is most probably the position in which a new bridge would be situated. The underpass at Playa Flamenca is mainly for cars with a very narrow pavement, again dangerous for pedestrians and almost impossible for wheelchair traffic and prams etc. At the La Mosca crossing point there are hundreds of properties, everyday many people are trying to cross this very dangerous road. We desperately need a bridge (or temporary traffic lights) before there is a very serious accident, Graham Robinson.

PEDESTRIAN TR AFFIC LIGHTS Dear Editor, Pedro Mancebo’s position on the N332 footbridge at Alameda del Mar is that the builder Gomendio should build the pedestrian bridge there as he promised. In the interests of safety and the public coffers Pedro Mancebo has proposed that the council install temporary pedestrian traffic lights at this very dangerous point until the builder does what he is obliged to do, however if Pedro had to choose between spending public money or saving one life, maybe even the life of your child, he would choose to save the life of your child.

USE THE PEOPLE IN THE KNOW Dear Sir, In reply to you correspondent "email ", when I moved to Spain in 14 years ago I was informed by a Spanish friend to always use the "Assesorias" for any government business as they were the go between the people and bureaucracy.

I followed his advice and received my driving license in one week. As I was back in the UK when it came up for renewal I again contacted "assesoria" and after the usual form filling in they took it straight to Traffico and I had my renewed license the following day. Total cost was about 50 euros. A great bargain for no queuing, no lost journeys and no stress.

Yours faithfully J.J Horton Ciudad Quesada

EX CHANGING LICEN CES Dear Editor, Mr Gary Jones regarding the letter about Traffico. I applied to exchange my UK licence to Spanish in Aug 2012 one year before my 70th birthday, I still have not received it. I have been back to Traffico Alicante & they said they sent a fax, as I understood, to DVLA on 30th Aug 2012 and would send again. I telephoned the DVLA and they said they’ve received no Fax. When I called on the second occasion I was told that is not the procedure as they don’t provide details to Spain as they have a agreement under the EU. They will only send details to you personally if you send 5£. So where does the problem lie. I cannot renew my licence in UK as I will be breaking the Law. When I ring DVLA it’s very costly and one person actually hung up on me.

Who is telling the truth? Does Alicante really contact UK or not? I know of many people in the same situation but a friend went to renew hers 4 weeks ago and has already gone to Traffico for new Spanish Licence.

Something needs to be done to help.

LOS CABALLEROS GOLF SOCIETY ESPANA OPEN Andy Hadder storms to victory.

This week saw the fourth year of the Los Caballeros Espana Open, after two rounds the cut was made at 15 over par, mainly to let me in.

At the half way stage Andy was 5 shots in the lead at 3 over par from Nick Tarbatt with Dave Moore and Rob Mac Donald one shot further away. In his last two rounds Andy managed to end up with a final total of of 294, 6 over par, beating Dave Moore the runner up by 9 shots and in the silver medal positions Rob MacDonald and Nick Tarbatt 11 shots away.

Well done Andy for consistent rounds of just 1.5 over par, and your last shot on the 18th hole when you hit the buggy of Bill Mackay and richoched back towards the green some 30 feet away, In the furore after the match was over I forgot to ask if that shot was deliberate, if so “great shot”.

I turn now to our Ryder Cup event with Royal Ashdown of the UK, At going to press we are 2.5 against 1.5 up with 8 singles remaining.

More news next week.

SPORTSMAN GOLF SOCIETY, QUESADA

Altorreal Golf Wednesday 22nd May 2013 It was forecast to be sunshine all the way and after the previous weeks unsettled weather we did not know what to believe. We all set off from The Sportsman Bar full English Breakfast devoured. It wasn't long before we came to a standstill on the AP7/E15, a little worried as time moved on a quick phone call to the course was needed but we soon passed the accident that caused the hold up and Altorreal bound we were. Arriving with time to spare we all descended upon the 1st Tee. The forecast was true to its word and the sun stayed around all day.

After the round Mr Stirfry decided that a re-visit to the 4th hole (Trees) was required to search for a €15 pair of sunshades we did find them relief !!!! That's what you get for wearing two pairs at once (unknowingly).

Once again a great big thank you to Ron and Yolanda at the Sportsman for cooking the pre round breakfast and a great Chicken Stroganoff Chips & Rice after the game not forgetting the vino for Nearest the Pin prizes.

Thanks also to The Club, Quesada for donating prizes for the Best front & back 9. Jake had a great day hope you enjoy the bones Jake. Make them last as I don't think you will see anymore for a while!

Winners of the Day : Winner : Mark Pollitt 40 pts Runner-up : John Sanchez 33 pts on C/B Nearest the Pins :5th :Ian Faulkner, 8th : Mark Pollitt 10th :Brian Eade, 17th : Nikki Ead Front 9 : John Kemp 21pts. Back 9 : Tony Stead 18 pts.

TORREVIEJA GOLF SOCIETY

HAPPY DAYS GOLF SOCIETY AT ALENDA 21ST MAY.

Captain’s Day at La Manga West on 20th May. We had an excellent turn out of 40 players for our Captain’s Day held on the west course of the prestigious La Manga Club. This was our first visit to this particular course and our unfamiliarity with its lay out was certainly reflected in the scoring on the day which was generally disappointing. It is a comparatively short course but very technical requiring accuracy from the tee to tree lined and sloping fairways and it tests your course management skills to the utmost.

Unfortunately with one or two exceptions we all failed the examination but most of our members expressed the view that it is a course that they would wish to play again if only the management and staff were more welcoming.

Regrettably, however, La Manga Club failed us on this score and seemed more interested in taking our money than enhancing our golfing experience.

The winner of the Captain’s Trophy on the day was fittingly one of our former Captains and long standing Committee members, Marianne Hunt. Marianne is standing down from the Committee at this years A.G.M. after many years of dedicated service and although she was not feeling well, she managed to score a very creditable 33 Stableford points on the day. The full list of winners were: Category 1: 1st Roger Jones with 32 points.

2nd John Edwards with 30 points.

3rd John Mitton with 29 points on count back.

Category 2: 1st Marianne Hunt with 33 points.

2nd Roy Hills with 28 points.

3rd Bobby Bolger with 27 points.

Best Guest John Sheehan with 31 points.

A prize for the best front 9 holes other than the winners was awarded to Malcolm Landsman with 15 points and best back 9 holes to Mary Lucherini with 16 points.

Nearest the pin prizes were won by Brian Fairbrother, Roger Jones, Geoff Branton and Dave Banton and the longest drive prizes by Geoff Walters and Joyce Lea. We were indebted on the day for sponsorship received from Portobello and Xanadu in Campoverde, Los Caracoles in Pilar and Rose & Crown in Playa Flamenca.

Next week on 27th May will see the new Captain’s Drive In at El Valle with the ceremonial drive taking place at 10.30. Drinks and snacks will be provided to all members on the 1st and 10th tees.

Contact: Geoff Walters, Secretary, Tel 966 763 369 or email geofwalt@telefonica.net

We played at Alenda for the first time in about 3 years, it was a bit like visiting an old friend and finding them in need of of a bit of T.L.C. However as always the company was good and we were lucky with the weather, dark cloud but no rain, whilst it was tipping it down in Playa Flamenco.

Results as follows: 1st, Kevin Barratt (34) 2ndAndy Shuttle (34) 3rd Alex Blown (32) 4th Dave Butler (31) 5th, Dave Naylor (31) Best front, Christine Mc Cloud (19) best back, Nigel Cawthra (16). Best par 3s Don Martin, par 4s Kevin Wenn, par 5s Mike Newton, nearest pins, Dale Wood, Don Martin, Dave Naylor and Nigel Cawthra.

We returned to Marinasol Bar Restaurant Cabo Roig for our presentation and sandwiches kindly provided by our sponsors, many thanks to Steve, Maz & Chris. Our next game will be at La Serena on 4th June. The Ian Cawthra Memorial match. We will be having a BBQ later that evening (and the presentations).

The B.B.Q. Will be FREE to members 5euros to partners and 10 euros to guests. I’m pleased to hear that Linda Cawthra will be able to attend, Payments on Mon 3rd.june 5-6pm at Marinasol Restaurant.

Happy golfing. Robin (the scribe) Adams.

SAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY AT LA FINCA As usual, the undulating slopes of La Finca golf course looked resplendent in the bright sunshine as members of San Miguel Golf Society and a few guests arrived for their monthly visit.

That wise old saying about not judging a book by its cover can similarly apply to a peaceful looking green golf course which only bares its formidable teeth when you try and actually play golf on it !!

The water hazards, the strategically placed bunkers and even the trees are all there to bite back at any slightly wayward shot. Many an obstacle or, even worse, a sinking ball has pegged back what has so nearly been the making of a good card.

For me and my three companions….this day was to be no exception, in fact we were bitten so many times a few tetanus jabs wouldn’t have been out of place.

But as is the norm’ there were those amongst us who managed to navigate a more or less clear path on eighteen occasions from tee to green…….and then it seems they proceeded to only one or two putt as well.

Holes 3, 6, 13 & 16 made up the par 3’s where NTP’s were won respectively by Ron Stenhouse, Phil de Lacy, Bill Preston and Peter Reed. The two top scoring guests were Noel Bannon (33) and Mickey Helderbrand (40), two very presentable rounds from the visitors.

The society’s silver category saw 4th place go to Bill Preston (33), 3rd to Paul Cobain (34) who lost out on count-back to Keith Stevenson (34) with a big cut coming the way of our budding super-star, Mick Roscoe, who burnt it up with a formidable 40 points!!

Gold category positions were 4th place to Willie Buchanan (34), 3rd to Phil de Lacy (35), Steve Fleet (36) was gracious enough to let somebody actually beat him into 2nd place this week as Ben Price grabbed top spot with his 37.

Well done to all the prize-winners….with a special mention to my dear T-

total missus who kindly won, just for me, a lovely bottle of Rioja. My coaching skills are obviously needed once again to set her straight and get Margaret back to the other end of the leader board away from any more “Abacus” awards.

Please visit www.smgs.org or give Barry a ring on 966 731 033 to find out more about the society and future Wednesday meetings at which visitors are always made very welcome…..If he takes a long time to answer the phone it’s because the dreaded trapped nerve has returned from which, I’m sure I speak for everyone, we all wish him speedy and permanent relief.

LA MARINA GOLF SOCIETY On Thursday 16th May we travelled to the region of Murcia to Bonalba to play . The for the Westminster Trophy another presponsored trophy now brought back for compe.tition, The weather was pleasent and warm with the threat of a storm later in day which we thankfully did not arrive whilst we were playing.

The scoring was good and it looks like the handicappers axe will be falling on some members, especially when we have a full time handicap secretary in place , who can devote his time to this function, however our tempoary handicap secretery I sure is doing his best, Also it was very nice to sere young; . Barry Martin returning to the fold as . As he was one of t the founder members of the society and it,s forst Treasurer. And to welcome new member Jason Wymmes The Winners are as Follows: Trophy and Gold Category Winner Alan Craig 38 pts: Silver Category Winner Barry Thorogood 36 pts Bronze Catergory Winner Elspeth Craig 31 pts Nearest the Pin Winners Hole 5 Alan Jones Hole Hole 8 Barry Martin Hole 17 Alkan Craig There was also a stablefored joint scoes pairs competion running along

side the singles trophy competion.

The Winners were Alan and Elspeth craig with a score of 69 points .

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING This week we fished the match at Blanca for the 9th round of the Spring Series on the 21st May. It was a cold day and the heavy rain from the night before seemed to put the fish off feeding, this embalsa is fed by a river and after rain this seems to affects the fish plus the fluctuation of the levels due to water being drawn off at night for the Hydro Station and the water then rises

throughout the day.

There were five dry nets this week, but Ian Dalzell dazzled us all with a win of 14.210kg making this his third win in succession on this water 1st Ian (The Wizard) Dalzell with 14.210kg fishing the feeder using hemp 2nd Dave (The sweetie man) Hutchinson with

EUROPEAN PETANCA DAY The eleventh year of the European Day Petanca was held at the Jardin del Mediterranno in Torrevieja, with 32 teams representing 17 countries. A nice cool start had all teams facing five games, with a number of new faces this created some interesting results. The Dutch fielded three pairs, as did Switzerland, and they produced some good results. Just one team emerged with 5 wins, and 4 with four wins, The new champions were Jorney and Sierra from Switzerland they were very impressive, they are based at Rojales. The runners up were Roland and Jean Francois from Luxembourg , a surprise as there are very few from this country, they too were very good.

ORGANIZERS BOWLED OVER BY SUCCESS OF 2013 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS The 2013 Spain National Lawn Bowls Championships reached its climax on Saturday afternoon where, at Quesada Bowls Club, after two glorious weeks of competition, the finals of the men’s and ladies singles brought the tournament to a thrilling conclusion.

“We hardly had a hiccup” said National Director John Muldoon. “The occasional threat of wind and rain was about as close as it got. All in all it was an extremely successful fortnight of bowling.”

The tournament saw competition divided into eight disciplines with the competitors demonstrating accuracy and nerve as they each contested men’s and ladies singles, pairs, triples and rinks (fours) events.

What was especially pleasing was to see the trophies distributed amongst all five participating regions, North Alicante, South Alicante, Almeria, the Costa del Sol and Tenerife.

Both Rinks competitions were sponsored by the Leader Newspaper.

The Men’s competition was won by San Luis Bowls Club, Colin Jackson, a day before his 70th birthday, Allen Bowen, John Withers and Mal Hughes, who beat near neighbours San Miguel in a thrilling final. Meanwhile, the Ladies title went to Quesada, who were bowling on home turf, represented by Lisa Bonsor after her 3 year sojourn in Australia, three time winner Diane Lawton, Deirdre Leeming and Maureen Kidd. They put paid to the aspirations of La Siesta, who were looking to pick up their first national title since Tony Pilling won the Men’s singles back in 2002.

CS Bowlswear sponsored the Ladies Triples and with El Cid defeating the Tenerife trio in the final. Sara Hamer, Hazel Brown and Yvonne Briden received their trophy together with a rather big bunch of flowers. The only club to successfully defend a title was Quesada where they had two teams contesting the Men’s triples final. National Director John Muldoon finally showed that he’s not just a pretty face when he led out Bill Pain and Pete Bonsor to pick up the winning the trophy.

Tenerife Bowls Club were again the runners up in the men’s Pairs final, beaten by Colin Jackson, on his 70th birthday, and Mal Hughes of San Luis. Both had previously featured in winning the Men’s Rinks the day before. Led by MC Jackie Breslin Colin picked up his trophy to a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’. The Ladies Pairs went to Kate Morris and Mary Detheridge of Bel Playa who narrowly ousted the girls from the relatively new Bonalba Bowls Club.

The two blue ribbon events, the Men’s and the Ladies Singles finals, were both nailbiters, going down to the very wire, much to the delight of an enthusiastic crowd.

Spain International Jan Dando of Indalo had to come from quite a way behind before she eased her way to victory, 21-17, over club mate Linda Lester. At 15 ends there appeared to be no way back for Jan who trailed 16-6 but she gradually clawed her way back into the game picking up singles in the next 4 ends before piling on a succession of two’s to close the game out in the 26th end.

The Men’s Singles Competition saw the popular Derek Sale, bowling in front of his home crowd, fall 8 pts behind to Javea’s Tony McKenna, by the 14th end, but then as Tony lost the jack he was unable to come to terms with Derek’s longer length. As a result the Quesada man had forced his way to a two point lead by the 19th end needing just 3pts to secure the title. But it was Tony’s greater experience that won the day as he edged back to tie the game at 20-20.

Thereafter Derek put his first three woods in the gutter and with Tony holding his nerve it was the former Spain International who picked up the vital final point.

The final two presentations were made to the Men’s and Ladies Player of the Tournament which Jackie Breslin announced. He said that the deliberation by the National Committee had been long and difficult which made the winners even more worthy of their awards. Jacky Playford of Tenerife won the Ladies nomination while the Men’s prize went to Mal Hughes of San Luis.

After the presentations the closing ceremony took place in which the final thankyou’s were left to Jackie Breslin who expressed the grati-

Both Singles Winners, Tony McKenna and Jan Dando, came from behind to set up thrilling finishes in the two Blue Ribbon events.

tude of the players and the organizing committee to all sponsors, CS Bowls Wear, Dales Sports Surfaces, Greengauge Surfaces and the Leader Newspaper, for their generosity before making a gift of wine to representatives from the six participating clubs, Vistabella, El Rancho, La Siesta, San Luis, Greenlands and Quesada Bowls Clubs.

Jackie then went on to thank the result coordinators, umpires, markers, scorers, all club helpers and tournament organizers who had made the event such a success.

There were a few words too from Valencian Delegate Bob Donnelly after which national Director John Muldoon said that the 2013 championships had been a wonderful success and good preparation for the upcoming staging of one of the most prestigious events in the International Bowls Calendar, the Ninth European Team Championship involving almost 20 nations, which is coming to this part of Spain, from Sunday 29th September 2013 to Friday 4th October 2013.

He then oversaw the lowering of the Spanish flag before declaring the 2013 Championshop closed.

There is no doubt that the participation of record numbers of bowlers, over 700 in the eight competition disciplines, and the much publicised buildup toward the European Team Championship will help to increase both awareness and participation in what is already one of the most popular and successful sports in Spain.

New members are welcomed at all clubs where the sport is played, not only for the challenge and competition, but for personal enjoyment, activity, the pleasure of spending time outdoors and for social interaction, it is also a low impact, therapeutic form of exercise and absolutely ideal, particularly for those of a certain age.

A delighted Jacky Playford of Tenerife won the Ladies Player of the Tournament Award

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB Spanish Nationals A huge congratulations has to be given to everyone who worked so hard leading up to these championships; and to the clubs, members, players and spectators who supported the event. On behalf of everyone, a special thank you is offered to The Leader for their continued support. Results - Other than the Ladies Rinks, Horadada was represented in every discipline in the competition and, on this occasion, it was the ladies that were more successful.

Unfortunately for our men they came up against some strong teams early on in the draw and this resulted in no one going beyond the second round. However, everyone appreciated the quality bowling and the good humour that prevailed.

Another good run in the singles for Ann Allen this year. Having reached the semi finals last year, she managed to reach the quarter finals this year after winning against two Spanish National players.... third time lucky I am hoping!

The real success story was our ladies trips team of Carol Linehan, Kath Reid and Ann Allen. The draw did not look good for them with ex. winners of the competition and international players looming but...... team spirit and determination goes a long, long way. The first match was against the trip skipped by June Jones, the 2011 winners.

This was an excellent game with all of our team contributing to this very good win. The second match was against the Greenlands' trip skipped by Lynne Greenland, another very good win. The third match was against the trip from Quesada, skipped by Peter Rhodes.... this was as close as they get. Going into the last end at 18 all, with Peter playing very well, all fingers and toes were crossed. This was when Carol produced her best 2 woods of the game, just off the jack and far enough away from Peter to give us a chance... and we took it to make our way to the semi finals.The semi finals against a very strong team skipped by Yvonne Brydon took us by surprise, maybe it was the excitment.......but it did not take us to victory this time. However, a great competition and who knows what could happen next time!!

League games start again on Monday........check the board asp.

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB Hi not a lot to report this week because of the nationals but well done to all the Quesada players who took part in the Spanish Nationals especially the winners of the ladies 4,s which was Skip Maureen Kidd 3rd Deidre Leeming 2nd Diane Lawton & lead Lisa Bonsor who won the final on Fri afternoon well done to all of you & we have a guaranteed win in the trips as its Quesada versus Quesada so were guaranteed a win their on Sat am & we also have Derek Sale in the Single Finals on Sat afternoon the best of luck to all of them from all the club & committee.

At just eight years of age Carlos was not among the favorites in the competition but went on to beat the top seed from Murcia Jose Antonio Hernandez in the final.

EUROGOLF SOCIETY AT LA MARQUESA 40 players took part in today’s competition which was a Yellow Peril game played on Thursday 23 May 2013 at our home course of La Marquesa Golf Course. The reduced field was partly due to temporary green and a large number of cancellations earlier in the week... The weather conditions were okay, nice sunshine but with blustering winds, making the club choice more of a gamble.

Unfortunately one member of my team lost their putter on the front nine and had to use an iron thereafter. Needless to say we were not in the prizes and as of going to print it has not yet turned up. (we think he was wanting a new one anyway) The results were as follows: 1st: David Gelsthorpe, Cindi Green, Tom Hull & Gill Gordon. 172 points, 2nd Geoff Evans, Franco Gentili & Gill Britten 169 points, 3rd Tony Stanley, Bob Shorley, Terry Sayers & Phyllis Venables. 159 points No nearest the pins due to the reduced field.

NOW ELCHE ARE CHAMPIONS! ELCHE CF ...................................1 REAL MADRID CF CASTILLA ...1 Although Elche are already promoted back to La Liga after 24 years in the Segunda

BY JOHN MCGREGOR Division, with three games to go they still needed a point to be promoted as champions.

Well, they got it on Sunday as a result of this draw with Real Madrid’s ‘B’ team, RM Castilla. Shrewd Illicitano coach Fran Escriba used the opportunity to give one or two reserves the chance of a game, goalkeeper Diego Rivas had his first outing of the season, Flano deputised at full back for the suspended Suarez, and upfront Pelayo started in place of top scorer Coro, otherwise Elche as expected. A good crowd turned out in the sun, in carnival mood with a sea of bright green and white, happy families everywhere to see their heroes become deserved Champions after this fantastic season.

As usual though, the opposition hadn’t read the script as Elche huffed and puffed in the first half, but got nowhere and steadily the visitors’ confidence increased until on the half hour they went ahead. A simple exchange of passes on the right found Fabino who easily scored past Rivas. Oh, dear, that was how it stayed at half-time – party-poopers!

Elche came out for the second half in more determined mood and the visitors began to backpedal. A foul on the wide right gave dead ball specialist Albacar a chance with his deadly left foot and his inswinger was headed over by a panicky defence. From the resultant corner captain Generelo - I always said he was good (I don’t...) – powered his header into the corner to equalise for ecstatic home relief – cue celebrations!

‘Campeones, Campeones’ rang round the ground, followed by Mexican waves and the usual insults to local rivals Hercules (mandatory). RM Castilla then played their part for the rest of the match and didn’t really

Javi Flano had a fine game for Elche.

Photo: Kevin Rendall look like scoring, although the Franjiverdes went close, which would have really wrapped it all up. No matter, the point was made, literally and that was all that was needed for this season to go down in Spanish football history as the one where Elche, after several hugely-disappointing seasons that promised so much, and failed, have finally done it in style, and with two games to go are worthy champions. Next week it’s away to Sabadell, but – who cares? ELCHE ARE CHAMPIONS!

Horadada travelled to the north of Valencia on Sunday evening for the first leg of their Preferente playoff against Torre Levante, the 3rd placed finishers from Group Two. The reception, particularly for the 80 or so supporters travelling with the team, was extremely unfriendly. Even the President and his family were moved on several occasions prior to the game.

The game itself though was fairly even with the home side gaining the upper hand when Mattias was put through on the half hour mark. He made no mistake lobbing Alex in the Horadada goal in what was essentially the only goal scoring opportunity during the opening period.

Torre Levante doubled their lead 25 minutes into the second half.

Substitute Robert had been on the field for less than 2 minutes when, following a free kick, he seized on a mix up in the Horadada area to stab the ball home.

As the home side then tired in the closing stages of the game the Reds came rather more into the match and were rewarded with a vital away goal just seconds from the end when Robles hit the back of the net after Javi Ruiz played the ball infield.

With the Reds now needing just a single unanswered goal at home next week to progress to the final one Levante player who won’t be there to help out his side is Marco who was dismissed in the 5th minute of added time for a 2nd yellow card.

In Saturday’s ties two other ties involving our local teams Almoradi could only manage a goal less home draw against Burjassot while Pinosa beat Group 3 winners Alginet by the only goal of the game. All three second legs take place next weekend.
