AMBULANCE CUTS GATHER PACE

The next stage of “remodelling” of the government funded ambulance service, those effectively operated as part of the National Health, comes into force on the 1st of July, with a rationalisation that political opposition groups feel will cost lives, but pave the way for more private ambulances, at a direct cost to the patient.

The difference between the three main types of ambulances lies in the team of professionals who are on board, which subsequently defines the cost of each unit. The SAMU (Servicio de Atención Médica de Urgencia), are the only emergency vehicles that have full teams of physicians, nurses and technicians, therefore capable of dealing with more serious situations. The monthly cost varies from between 16,672 euro for a vehicle in a 12-hour shift, the averContinued on Page 2

The management team of San Javier Airport has given one month´s notice to the owners of 17 vehicles that they are classing as “abandoned”, amongst which are a BMW, a Volvo, a Renault, a Toyota and several Ford cars, plus a Mercedes 190. The vehicles are all parked at the airport, and have been for some time, and therefore the notice is given for the owners to collect and remove them, or they will take action to do so themselves. The resolution states that after the one month period, if the vehicles are not removed, the airport authority will “inform the provincial traffic headquarters for processing by an authorized group as waste”. So if you have parked at the airport for any length of time, or if you simply can´t remember where you parked, it might be worth checking out this collection, before they are taken away for good, and possibly given to a new, worthy home.

MINISTER FACED STUDENT BACKLASH A total of 129 of the highest graded college students in Spain attended a ceremony on Tuesday, where the Minister for Education, José Ignacio Wert, was to present them with the awards of academic merit. However, in the wake of the ongoing discussions surrounding the reforms that Wert is attempting to implement, the LOMCE reforms, or Wert´s Law as it has become known, around a dozen students flatly refused to accept their award in protest, a similar number did collect theirs, but wearing striking green t-shirts which have become common in recognising opposition to his reforms and one took to the stage to make an impromptu speech demanding “free education for all”.

Continued from page 1 age equivalent of 46 euro per hour, up to 24,963 euro per month, or 34 euro per hour, when the vehicle operates around the clock. The SVB (Soporte Vital Básico) is operated by technicians, the cost ranges from between 13,966 euro of a vehicle which covers a 12 hour shift, 38 euro per hour, and 20,949 euro for 24-hour cover, the average equivalent of 29 euro per hour. The TNA (Transporte No Asistido), which does not carry any medical specialists on board, is normally used for routine transport tasks and equipment, and is the most basic of all emergency response vehicles. The budget for providing the service is 258 million euro, which will begin on the 1st of July 2013 and end on the 30th of June, 2017. The contract can be extended for another six years, at a rate of 64 million per year, thus totalling 642 million. In total there will be 465 vehicles operating in the region, but only 45 will be SAMU vehicles, 35 of which will operate on a 24-hour schedule, the other 10 covering additional shifts of 12 hours each day. The remaining fleet is made up of 100 SVB´s and 312 TNA´s, with an additional 6 support vehicles and two specifically adapted for transporting transplant organs. The Valencia region has an estimated population of 5.1 million people, spread over 23,255 square kilometres of land, as of the data collated last year. For the purpose of comparison, the London Ambulance Service, which covers the emergency response needs of the 8.1 million people of their 1,572 square kilometre area, operates around 900 ambulances and, in addition, can deploy around 100 rapid-response units in various cars, motorcycles or bicycles. Socialist representatives of several municipalities in Alicante have combined resources to present a case to the Ombudsman requesting an investigation be opened into the contract. The health secretary for the PSPV-PSOE in the province of Alicante, Miguel Mauri, denounced “the reduction in hours of ambulance services”, which, he has said, is “approximately 20% at provincial level”. According to Mauri, the situation will motivate “extended delays”, which, in his view, “means the difference between life and death”. Meanwhile, sources from the Ministry of Health have been defending the situation through a series of denials, saying that “there has been no cut in medical transportation “, but there has been a “new tender contract for ambulances, which will take effect from July the 1st, but it does not modify the SAMU service”. In the document submitted to the Ombudsman, the Socialists attribute the “cuts” that, in their opinion, “do not taken into account the sizes of the municipalities”, mentioning an example of Elche, a town made up of more than thirty rural sections, where “response times are increased by both distance and the potential complexity of access”.

AQUAPOLIS NEGOTIATES EXTENSION TO ITS CONCESSION

Parques Reunidos, which owns the Aquapolis water park, has begun negotiations with the Torrevieja Council to renew it’s lease on the one hundred thousand square meters of land on which the water park facility has been located since 1986. The concession ends in 2016 and the Spanish Multinational company, which currently manages more than 70 parks and themed attractions around the world, is keen to have a new agreement in place before the end of the current season, which got underway last Monday. The current rental agreement is said to exceed 60,000 euros for the 100,000 meters site which includes parking for 5,000 vehicles. Negotiations are being carried out by the mayor Eduardo Dolon (PP), Joaquín Albaladejo Councillor for Finance and the Town Planning Councillor Francisco Moreno. The discussions between the parties will focus on an extension to the length of contract as well as an agreement to use the facilities for additional events such as animal shows. Parques Reunidos have also said that it will carry on with it’s annual

investment plan to ensure that the water park continues as a profitable business. Last year the company celebrated their 25th anniversary in operating the park and on renewal of the lease a spokesman said the intention is to provide the park with new uses. During its winter closure Aquapolis has carried out a total renovation of the area around the children's pool and during the current summer season it has said that it will be increasing the number of lifeguards operating at that point. Last Monday, despite being the first day of operation, the park saw a healthy attendance, especially amongst British tourists, it said. Another improvement to the services the park now offers is the launch of a free bus service which can be used by visitors with pre booked tickets from around various points of the Orihuela Costa. The park is expected to attract at least 100,000 visitors during the summer.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH RECORDED IN TODDLER DROWNING CASE

A UK Coroner´s court has ruled on the tragic death of a two year old girl who died in a swimming pool in a property in San Miguel last year, recording “accidental death” as the cause. Baby Izzy had come on holiday with parents Deborah Ridgeway and Patrick Crump, and her older sister, in August 2012, staying at Miss Ridgeway’s grandparent’s property. The hearing heard that the family had spent most of their last day in and around the pool. At one point they all got out of the pool and Mr Crump, along with the eldest daughter, went inside to watch television, whilst baby Izzy joined Miss Ridgeway on a sun lounger. Mr Crump gave evidence stating that once the TV show had finished he went back outside and “saw Debs on the sun lounger, facing away from the water, and Izzy in the pool.” He then stated that he dived into the pool to pull Izzy out and attempted resuscitation. Mr Crump continued, “Izzy knew she was not supposed to go into the pool without her water wings”, which was a fact Miss Ridgeway emphasised, saying “Both of them were told not to go near the pool unless either me or Pat was with them and they were wearing armbands. Izzy would even say it back to me.” Recording a verdict of accidental death, deputy coroner Mr Barkley said: “Clearly she was playing in and around the pool, and appeared to understand she was not allowed in the pool without at least one of her parents or without armbands. Exactly how it was she ended up in the pool will, I regret to say, never be known.”

ORIHUELA RESHUFFLES TO ACCOMMODATE SALARY SAVING Following the refusal by the opposition Partido Popular and CLARO groups of Orihuela council to allow the newly appointed councillor Manuel Gallud to earn a part time salary and continue his work as a dentist, the Mayor of Orihuela has shuffled the responsibilities to allow the saving to the municipality, whilst also maintain the full support of the governing team. Carolina Gracia of the PSOE will now take on the role of finance, in addition to festivities, protocol and youth. Manuel Gallud of the Los Verdes will take the roles of modernisation and mobility, the environment and heritage, employment and industry as well as trade and markets. However, receiving the part time salary rather than the full time rate does not mean he will only work part time, Gallud had already vowed to provide the same amount of working time as he did in his role of unelected team member, but the move allows him to continue his private dental practice in the evening.

AROUND THE VEGA BAJA

REGIONAL NEWS ROUNDUP

Work began this week to clean the pine forests of the beaches of La Marina, which are the responsibility of the municipal environment brigade, with four people and a grinding machine, as well as three other groups of municipal workers from other departments. The municipal town hall of Elche noted that some jobs are “very important” to maintain cleanliness in the area, especially for the summer to avoid any accidents that may occur, with increasing affluence.

The Valencia Government has approved the Plan of Human Resource Management, which includes the regulation of compulsory retirement of physicians at the age 65, with only two exceptions, those professionals that provide “added value” to the health service and those who don´t yet have a substitute for the role they fulfil. The Minister of Health, Manuel Llombart, when asked during a press conference, confirmed the reports that the plan will involve the retirement of about 600 physicians over 65 years of age in the Region.

The Department of Health has withdrawn one of the doctors from the health centre in Guardamar. The socialist municipal group indicates that this reduction in healthcare will generate worse attention to patients and increased queues. The PSOE criticized the fact that the workload would be distributed among the other doctors, and added that the professionals “cannot attend to the amount of work they have”. A resident´s association of San Miguel has reported that they have filed a complaint with the department of health, and with Torrevieja hospital, relating to the withdrawal of a doctor from the health centre in the town. The group claim that they have been waiting for more than 30 days without so much of an acknowledgement in response, which they say shows the “neglect” to the health service. The Anse environmental group has confirmed that it has detected the presence of otters in Barriomar, at the entrance of the city of Murcia. “Most likely, the otters are already using the riverbed in the city for food. Yet their largely nocturnal and elusive character, has prevented detected before”, according to a statement from them. Anse technicians have confirmed the presence of this species in Contraparada in 2010. The councillor for youth in Callosa de Segura has organized a course on the electric guitar, which will allow various levels of groups to learn how to use the instrument, lead by an acclaimed teacher in the art form. Registration is open via the town hall at a cost of 15 euro, although students must bring their own guitar.

A thesis presented by academics at the Universidad Miguel Hernández in Elche, claims to offer advice to law enforcement officers seeking to catch drunk drivers, through the production of a “hot spot” map of likely areas where drivers who have consumed alcohol are more likely to be. According to the study, the most likely area where these drunk drivers are to be found coincides with leisure areas and areas where more alcohol is sold. It is also more likely that drivers will be drunk when moving away from these areas, and there will be a bigger concentration at weekends, Saturday night and Sunday morning in particular. The study is based on historic data relating to detections of drivers who were found to have given a positive breath test.

The municipalities of Benferri, Daya Nueva, Formentera del Segura, Granja de Rocamora, Jacarilla, San Isidro and Rafal will benefit from a grant of 196,029 euro from the provincial government to cover 60% of the cost to the Fire Service. Algorfa, Benejúzar, San Miguel, Los Montesinos, Catral, Cox, Dolores and Redován will get 223,369 euro, or 35% of their bill. Albatera, Almoradí, Callosa del Segura, Guardamar del Segura, and San Fulgencio receive 161,083 to cover 20% of the contribution to Fire Consortium. With the investment, it is hoped it will provide municipalities with greater liquidity and encourage saving. A 37 year old woman has been arrested by police in Murcia, after the vehicle she was driving was clocked at a radar check point travelling at 123 kilometres per hour in a 50 zone. Officers at the scene reported registering the woman´s Seat Altea car as it drove along a new road near the town of Beniaján earlier this week. Despite statistics for the region stating that only one or two traffic offences of this severity are recorded each year, this is the second of its kind in recent days, after a 19 year old was caught doing 124 kilometres per hour near Alcantarilla. If there´s one thing that the holiday town of Benidorm has been missing all these years, it must be its very own brand of beer. But if that is a deficiency, then the hole in the desires of visitors and residents has now been filled with the launch of “Serra Gelada”, a 100% handmade beer, low in alcohol content at between 4.5 and 4.8 degrees, made of oats, wheat, barley and rye, with seven different kinds of malt and without flavouring, launched through the hotel and retail consortiums in the town.

ROUND AND ABOUT TORREVIEJA The government team of Torrevieja are establishing a committee in order to organize the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the demarcation of the Salinas de La Mata. The committee will be formed by councillors, as well as key members of society related to knowledge of the history and roots of Torrevieja, as July marks the anniversary that in 1763, a delegation of the Kingdom of Spain, ruled by King Carlos III, effectively created the landmarks surrounding the lagoon of La Mata, which saw the birth of modern day Torrevieja. The events will run from the 14th to the 16th of July, and will consist of a theatrical recreation of this historical fact, as well as carrying out the renovation of the last seven landmarks that defined themselves according to the minutes of 1763.

Despite being one of the chosen locations invited to participate in the emergency earthquake emergency drill held in Torrevieja in March, the Los Verdes green party claim that the IES Las Lagunas School still has no water propulsion system for fire services to use, nor does it have a fire alarm system, and there is only a single fire escape stairwell. The group say that they have been campaigning to have these deficiencies repaired as it has been in this state for around a decade. The IES was expanded in the late nineties but the Government has not completed the works due to problems with the contractor. There were 304 fewer people unemployed in Torrevieja at the end of May, according to data provided by the SERVEF employment group. More importantly, the highest percentage of those who found a job are in the 24 to 44 years of age bracket, the group struggling most through the crisis, of whom 228 people are now working. What isn´t surprising however is that the biggest growth in vacancies as been in the hospitality and retail sectors, as the start of the summer season takes hold. There are now 10,342 registered unemployed workers in Torrevieja. Having been summoned to appear in court on Thursday and Friday of last week, the Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, and other councillors, found that the judge intending to hold the trial had suspended the decision, postponing the hearing until a later date. Dolón is charged for alleged electoral offences relating to the holding of an event in an unauthorised location.

Torrevieja is to have an emergency rescue pod made available at the harbour, specifically designed for the recovery of sea turtles. There have been countless injuries to these animals in the past, both from the fishing fleet from the city, and from various waste left in the sea, that this is the first positive step towards protecting the balance of marine wildlife, which has suffered a decline in recent years. The Izquierda Unida political group has proposed an ordinance in Torrevieja which would see banks charged 1,000 euro for having ATMs installed on the facades of buildings, with direct access from the street. The group explains that “each teller moves an average of 5,721.18 euro per day, which means an annual turnover of more than 2 million euro. For us, the people of Torrevieja not only have to contribute to ending the crisis, it is the financial institutions who are to blame for the situation in which we live and it should be them who have to pay to get out of it”.

There was a dramatic fire in an apartment block in the centre of Torrevieja on Tuesday evening, when a candle was thought to have fallen onto a cushion, igniting soft furnishing and rapidly spreading before the home owners, who were present at the time, could control it. Fire services attended and managed to quell the flames, but not before considerable damage had been done.

‘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 GUAGUA My grandfather was a carrier, which is a term that is not in common use nowadays. When he started his business, he owned a horse-drawn bus, which he used to transport people and produce from village to village or town. It became a very popular service, and I remember as a child that my grandfather was always referred to with great affection in the area long after he had died. As well as owning a bus, he also had a great love of pocket watches, which for him was a relatively modern technology, and of course helped to provide local people with a very reliable service in all kinds of weather. Later, my grandfather upgraded from horses to motorised buses, and was the first carrier in Lincolnshire to own and run his own motorised bus. He operated a regular service to several destinations, such as the town of Boston on market days, and bracing Skegness for a spot of sea air at the weekends. He increased his ownership of these mechanised marvels, until his small fleet was eventually taken over by a much larger organisation that had set up in competition. Grandad’s motorised buses were seen as a modern marvel in the area, but I also remember being horrified when I learned as a child that both my mother and aunt, who had never taken or passed a driving test in their lives, were regularly recruited as relief bus drivers and, by all accounts, my Aunt was particularly good at it. Thankfully, they both gave up the job before too many other vehicles took to the road. Travelling by bus is a relatively new discovery for me. Until recently, I have rarely set foot on a bus, but travelling to Las Palmas by car is

no longer a pleasant option unless I really know where I am going to park, because car parking is difficult to find, as well as very expensive. Expats living on the island often forget that Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the seventh largest city in Spain, which probably explains why it usually reminds me of driving a car in central London, but without the congestion zone charges. Now that I have understood the timetable for buses on the island, I find that travelling to the city is a relatively cheap and reliable option. One must also be a little flexible and allow for ‘Canarian time’, which is never taken too seriously over here. A bus will usually turn up eventually, even if not exactly to schedule. On the other hand, I have found most drivers to be polite and helpful, and most are willing to give advice about times and the best bus to travel on for a particular destination. Travelling by bus is also great fun for people watching, which is one of my favourite pastimes. We only have to travel from Las Palmas to the south of the island late on a Saturday night or in early hours of Sunday morning, to realise that just as we are going home to bed, most young Canarians are on their way out for the night in the south. If you like people watching, I can thoroughly recommend it as a source of endless entertainment and amusement. Indeed, I am quite sure that some of the more colourful characters observed recently will appear in future books. The word, ‘guagua’ has a fascinating history, since it comes from the days when British businessmen in Las Palmas used wagons to transport people, produce and materials around the island. The word ‘wagon’ was painted on the sides and back of these vehicles. ‘Guagua’, is the term used in the Canary Islands for the word ‘bus’. It

By Bar rie Mahoney

is a lovely word to say, and if you say the word ‘wagon’ with a Canarian accent, you will hear what I mean! Canarians have a different pronunciation of the ‘w’ sound and therefore the term ‘wagon’ became corrupted to the rather charming word ‘guagua’, which has remained in use on the islands to this day. Although used in South America, ‘guagua’ is not a word often heard in Peninsular Spain, where ‘autobus’ is the usual term. Initially horses or camels drew these wagons or guaguas on the Canary Islands, but later these were mechanised, just like my grandfather’s bus.

DECL AR A TION OF ASSETS Dear Leader, With regard to the letter in your letters page, issue 27th May, from 'Disillusioned Ex-pats', I too am resident in Spain and have sold a property in Uk in 2013 which I purchased in 2001, so I spoke to my Spanish hestor regarding the implications of declaring the asset as at Dec. 2012 and selling it in April 2013. He took the trouble to do some investigation and drew my attention to the Double Taxation Treaty between UK and Spain. His version was in Spanish so to be certain I downloaded the English version from www.hmrc.gov.uk. The relevant passages are - Article 6 which defines income from 'immovable property' and article 13 which states that capital gains from the sale or 'alienation' of 'immovable property' may be taxed in the Contracting State in which such property is situated. Both my hestor and I agree therefore that I have to declare and pay any CGT

in Uk where the allowances are more advantageous. I trust this information may be of help to your correspondent. Regards, John Lawrence

WHA T ASSIST AN CE MR CONSUL Dear Editor, So the British Vice Consul thanks Orihuela for the work done by their social services. My situation is that my partner suffered severe strokes being in Vega Baja hospital for two months. Discharged 23rd May with the diagnosis 'bed/chair, speech difficulties, incontinence ' into my care. I suffer from spondylolothesis, have had to postpone hip replacement surgery and am now having to care for a heavy person who cannot stand, talk and is incontinent. I live in La Matanza, Orihuela 03316 but none of the help organisations cover that area of Orihuela. I am awaiting contact from social services and in the meantime I can hardly walk due to the pain caused by caring for my partner. Very soon I will be totally unable to care for her and I am at my wit's end as to what will happen to us both as we have no family here or in the UK. Could you please advise me how

I can obtain this wonderful assistance which the Vice Consul refers to. Any advice will be most welcome. Thank you. Jim Minnis

COMPL AINERS!! Dear Editor, I feel compelled to write to your newspaper, contradicting my own opinion, by virtue of the fact that I would like to complain, but not about the typical subject I see adorning the letters pages of most of the English newspapers in Spain, I want to complain about the complainers. I can´t help but wonder how tragic some people must feel their lives have become when all they can do is complain, criticise, moan etc. I think it´s about time some of your readers looked in the mirror and saw that they themselves are the ones responsible for the dark cloud that hangs over them. It is rare that anybody seems to write to you to offer praise, aside from the usual letters that their fan clubs seem to send in. They complain about the weather, the

law, the police, the shops, the prices, the SPANISH. In fact, they seem to complain about anything but themselves. So I say this, “open your eyes and look for the good”, because you will find it. Lots of people do good deeds, lots of companies do good jobs, you call on the police to help in an emergency, you don´t have to pay the price for anything, you can shop around. As Mary Poppins sang, “A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down”, look for the sugar in the good things and the poison you feel will soon ease. British people of Spain, ask yourself this, “who did a good job today?”, then ask yourself, “what good did I do today?” If you can´t answer, then take another quote from me and “Sod off back to your own country”, some of us like it here.

Tickets for the High Speed AVE Train to Alicante will be on sale this week, with the scheduled plan for the operation of the trains being brought slightly forward of the estimate, with an opening ceremony on the 17th of June and special offer tickets on some routes at up to half price for the period from the 18th to the 25th, with 18 trains between Madrid and Alicante each day, for a 2 hour and 20 minute journey. An incident at Lavacolla airport at Santiago de Compostela, La Coruña, caused the two hour closure of the runway, resulting in an Easyjet flight to Switzerland and a Ryanair flight to Tenerife being delayed. For reasons which are being investigated, a single vehicle, an airport fire tender, crashed and rolled over on the runway whilst undergoing “a routine inspection”. The driver suffered a minor “scratch” to his arm and took the rest of the day off, whereas two cranes had to be called in to remove the vehicle before the airport could be reopened.

The pilot of an Iberia flight from London Heathrow to Madrid made a request to divert his aircraft this week, but not for reasons of an emergency or incident, but so that he could show his passengers the historic 3rd Century Roman walls of Lugo surrounding Galicia. Passengers on board the flight were somewhat surprised when Captain Ángel Aznárez first took to the public address system, greeting passengers in English, Italian and Spanish, so that nobody missed out, pointing out various cities as they fly by in their own private, guided tour of the skies. This is not the first time the pilot has caused controversy by giving his passengers a flight to remember, a similar incident in 2012 resulted in a series of “disagreements” between him and the company which they “ceased to reconcile”. A maritime rescue helicopter successfully extracted 6 crew members, two Tunisians and 4 Egyptians, from on board the 60 metre ship “Theodoros”, which had sent a distress call, 32 miles south of Almería, after she began taking on water through the rotor shaft, flooding the engine room. Upon receiving the alert, the coast guard immediately dispatched a Helimer 202 helicopter and the salvage vessel, Sar Mastelero, the helicopter commencing the rescue immediately upon arrival at the scene.

CHANGES TO TRAFFIC LAWS EXPLAINED Following this week´s presentation of the latest amendment to the road traffic laws, the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT), María Segui, has released the final draft which features a number of important changes to the rules of the road. This is a guide to some of those changes, but is based on the draft presentation and should not be assumed to be legally binding. For the full and correct advice, you should speak to an authorised legal entity that specialises in traffic law.

There has been a lot of controversy and discussion about a picture that emerged on the internet of a Guardia Civil officer, driving a marked patrol car, but clearly using a mobile telephone. In order to clarify the position of police officers and mobile phones, The Leader have spoken to federation representatives of the police, who have explained that the legality of an officer using a mobile phone whilst driving is dependent on who he, or she, is speaking to, and the reason for the call. Article 11, paragraph 3 of the traffic act relating to mobile phone use, expressly prohibits using a mobile phone whilst driving. However, as the federation spokesperson explains, there is an exemption from that prohibition for “enforcement officers in the exercise of the functions attributed to them”. So, in other words, if a law enforcement officer is phoning their mother, or lover, or ordering pizza, then they are covered by the same laws as the rest of us. But, if the call is expressly relating to the functions and duties of the role of that officer, then the exception clause is valid and no offence has been committed. So, if you do see a police officer on the phone, perhaps asking who they are talking to would satisfy your curiosity and the law, but then again, it might just be best to leave them be.

Speed The speed limits will be modified, both upward and downward, with the controversial increase to 130 kilometres per hour on some motorways being retained in the act. “It will be exceptional and restricted”, according to Segui, with signs indicating when the maximum permitted limit has been eased, and only in sections where there are suitable safety indices, good layout and surface conditions and weather and environmental conditions. On conventional roads, the standard maximum permitted limit is reduced from 100 to 90 kilometres per hour, on roads where there is a width at or above 6.5 meters, and on those that are narrower, the maximum speed is 70 kilometre per hour if there is a longitudinal mark that separates the two directions, and 50 kilometres per hour in any other case. In cities, where the current maximum is set at 50 kilometres per hour, this will be reduced to 30 in the streets with one lane in each direction of traffic or a single lane, and

20 kilometres per hour on roads where there may be a particular risk to pedestrians and cyclists. Bicycles The requirement cyclists wear helmets when riding in towns and cities is still open to a final discussion, following criticism from cycling groups and some politicians, but Segui has already suggested that “there is no going back”. Cyclists are permitted to ride on pavements wider than 3 metres, and in both directions, when the road traffic is limited to a maximum speed of 30 kilometres per hour. Cycle trailers for carrying goods and people are also now permitted. Cyclists will also have an element of freedom in choosing lanes to ride in on the road, such as to turn into a minor street, allowing them to use other lanes “when they need to”. Seatbelts All previous exceptions to wearing seatbelts, such as delivery drivers, taxi drivers and the police, have had the exemption clause withdrawn. Now, the only time not wearing a seatbelt may be permitted is when it is expressly required for the purposes of parking or reversing. Child seats Children who are 1.35 meters tall or less must ride in the rear seats of the car, not the front. In addition, children under four years using most restraining systems must travel facing the opposite direction of travel if the child seat permits it.

Radar detectors The amendment expressly prohibits “mechanisms for the detection of radars”, but refers to systems capable of locating mobile radars, not GPS systems which have information relating to fixed cameras, which is also published on the website of the DGT. Drugs The new code institutionalizes saliva tests for the detection of drugs whilst driving. The applicant may also request a blood test, which will also feature in the case of a positive result. Pedestrians As with the changes to rules relating to cyclists, there is a relaxation relating to pedestrians. Advanced zone For the first time, the law will allow drivers of motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles to move ahead of the stop line and circling cautiously among the other vehicles. Motorhomes Previously only controlled by municipal and local legislation, parking of motorhomes is now limited by “mass and dimension restrictions affecting all vehicles”. They must not overflow the perimeter, discharge fluids or connect to utility supplies. Again, this is only a guide to the rules of the law. The full road traffic act is also available via the official, legal channels.

Three Three days full board board plus wine and water plus all excursions in Cuenca City for an amazing price of just 141 euro euro The warm spring sunshine glints on the old city walls casting a dark shadow across the nearest houses. Above us, silhouetted against a faultless blue sky, vultures circle lazily surveying the landscape. Narrow cobbled streets meander lazily amongst the whitewashed houses. Almost all of these crowned with bright orange tiles. The walls darken as they climb up the mountainside amongst the yellow broom towards the statue of Christ, arms outstretched, as though protecting all those who pass this way. We wander amongst the houses passing wizened old ladies in black dresses, who sit on tiny wooden seats examining us with knowing eyes. “Muy Buenas” they murmer as we pass them. Carefully avoiding the need to define the time of day with a “Buenas Dias” or “Buenas tardes” . Some of them choose to welcome us with a hearty “adios “ – literally meaning goodbye but which really means “hello, but I won’t be stopping to talk” Up ahead we hear a bubble of noise. Then the street opens up into a charming old town square where a handful of Spaniards make the sort of noise normally associated with a stadium full of football supporters. Only the Spanish know how to make so much noise with so few people. The partially wooden, partially stone structured houses encircling the square supported by dozens of stone pillars whose makers are long since gone from this life. Now a church steeple appears ahead of us as we pass an old Moorish style gate. Behind the church run the sparkling waters of the river Tinte where noisy ducks quack a loud protest at the sudden invasion of humans. A waterfall rushes down from the mountainside then spills on through the valley. Just a few hours ago we arrived at our charmingly rustic hotel to a warm smiling welcome, a homely meal, and generous helpings of red wine. Yet we already feel at one with the peace and beauty of the sur-

rounding countryside. This is day one of a three day visit to the lovely Cuenca region. A region which is set between the cities of Valencia and Madrid. Today we are in Cañete. The ancient capital of the region which despite its village type atmosphere really does have magnificent medieval city walls which have guarded the town since Moorish times. Tomorrow we travel to exotic sounding places like - “The window of the devil” – “the enchanted city” -- “the source of the Rio Cuervo”. Our courier who has already impressed us with her knowledge of the castles and countryside we passed on the drive up and her in depth knowledge of Cañete promises us that tomorrow brings many surprises, magnificent gorges, impressive rivers, turquoise coloured reservoirs, pine clad mountains and fields of spring flowers. With promises too, of lunch beside the river Cuervo bringing a few unexpected surprises. We can hardly wait for this day to start. Then on the third day we look forward to a visit to a serious of multicoloured lakes followed by a time in the historic centre of the old city of Cuenca , and of course a chance to see the famous 16th century hanging houses located behind the cathedral and overhanging the stunningly scenic gorge which sweeps along the boundaries of this precious city. Best of all is that our 3 days full board plus wine and water plus all excursions only cost 141€. This is such a lovely area to visit in early spring. David’s Coachtrips are offering two dates during the month of March for this great value excursion. 3 days March 10 - 12 or 20 - 22.

WHERE IS OUR REPRESENTATION ON THE ORIHUELA COSTA? There is hardly a week when the role of Bob Houliston is not examined and evaluated in one of the local papers. This individual has the misfortune to be the sole representative of the large and important expat community from Orihuela Costa. One would need to be a superman to be able to meet all the demands of this large and diverse area, and it seems that no matter what this individual does one group or another soon jumps on the never ending bandwagon of criticising his perceived effectiveness. What seems to be so clearly missing from all the debates is the lack of real representation for Orihuela Costa. The population difference between Orihuela City and Orihuela Costa is just 706 according to the recent census statistics, with the population of the Orihuela at 33,943 and 33,227 on the coast. However if we look at the political makeup of our so called democratic council we see that the coast hardly contributes any elected councillors to the decision making machinery based in Orihuela. How can this be democracy when a population of 33,227 people has so few councillors who are actually coastal residents? Is it any wonder that the political machinery which is virtually totally residents of Orihuela City use the coastal area as a cash cow for the betterment of Orihuela City? One only needs to wander through parks of the two localities to see the unequal distribution of expenditure on maintenance of these public areas. The parks of the city are well kept, gardens are excellently maintained, walkways are kept clear of weeds and play areas are safe for children to use. Compare

this with the dreadful state of the open spaces on the coastal urbanisations. Here pathways are impassable, well planted areas are over grown and deteriorating into chaos and play and sport areas are unsafe. Costa residents are continually fighting for small amenities while the real fight should be for equitable distribution of resources and real democratic representation. Statistically Orihuela Costa should have equal number of councillors on the council as the city has. Without this the area will continue to fight for peanuts instead of demanding equality with the city. For the past twenty years Orihuela Costa has been the cash cow for the betterment of Orihuela city. Resources and amenities are drained from the coastal population to enrich the city. Perhaps the debate should now be for independence for the Costa, a total separation from Orihuela. Once this happens the coastal region would be able to plan and develop the area for the benefit for the actual residents. With independence political representation would be by people actually living in the area. Sandpiper

Yet another neglected park on the Orihuela Costa!

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 al child. As a mark of respect for the campaign, Zaplana also said that a 14 metre flag of equality will hang from the town hall balcony on the 27th of June until the 29th. Orihuela council has announced City Library will open between 09:00 and 15:00, uninterrupted, to enable students facing exams in schools and colleges to use the facilities for their last minute studies. The opening hours have been revised until the 14th of July, to which the spokesperson for the government team, Antonia Moreno, said, “We firmly believe that although it is a service that we have to pay for, once finished there will be a favourable outcome”, continuing to explain that the government team believe that, “the library is a place of study, but also a place for meeting”, with the extra hours being covered by staff from the cultural department. The Department of Equality in Orihuela is planning a celebration of LGBT Pride Day for the 28th of June, reflecting the “brave men and women who have left their mark in history by their contribution and defence of human rights”, said the councillor responsible for the department, Emilio Zaplana. There will be a display in the exhibition hall of the city library, offering advice on diversity, equality, peace, harmony in the classroom and the teaching of values such as respect and equality. As positive references are part of the exhibition characters from classical Greece to the present day, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde and Federico García Lorca with newsmakers as Alejandro Amenábar and Jesus Vazquez. Zaplana eluded the need to support the rights and awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, after recent surveys shown worrying levels of homophobia in the educational system and families. According to the survey, 41.3% of respondents did not receive any advice or awareness on sexual diversity in schools and only 22% believe that parents would fully accept homosexu-

The Councillors of the Coast and Tourism, Martina Schreurer and Rosa Martínez, respectively, collected the seven Blue Flags awarded to Orihuela from a ceremony in Benissa Playa La Fustera this week. Rosa Martínez has said that these flags are “a real asset we have to make known to all visitors and use as a lure for tourists”. Martina Schreurer commented that “it is an honour because we have 12% of the flags of all the province of Alicante whilst we occupy only 7% of the coast”, continuing, “we will make a great effort to maintain this quality and attract more tourists”.

The Ociopía Centre in Orihuela has launched the second edition of an event to promote health and beauty, offering customers the opportunity to attend a different evening´s course devoted to beauty and wellness. For two weekends, beginning on the 6th and ending on the 15th of June, clients who sign up can choose from courses in makeup or perfumery, and enjoy exhibits of Zumba and other fitness regimes. Attendees will also get discount vouchers to use in the centre and registration can be done at the Druni store in Ociopía, but places are limited.

MANCHESTER CITY AND SKALA DO IT FOR UNAI

CASAS MANUEL SUMMER PETANCA LEAGUE By Susan Ward How do you know that Summer has arrived? Its when the Casas Manuel Summer league begins playing petanca again. This year there are 2 divisions in the league, one for teams who want to take the game a little bit more seriously than the other division for whom the evening playing is for laughs - maybe the occasional dressing up or naughty tricks - who knows what the Summer will bring... All teams - 8 in each division - are members of the Las Salinas Winter league. The matches all commence at 18.00hrs when hopefully the weather is slightly cooler.

By Nick Ireland While back in England Manchester City were making their first bigmoney signing, recruiting Brazil international Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk and are expected to officially announce that former Real Madrid and Malaga Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be joining them, a few of their players from another era were in Torrevieja on Friday evening. The occasion was a friendly game against local amateur team Skala CF in the Nelson Mandela Stadium against Manchester City Former Players FC, a veterans team who travel the world playing charity events. Friday’s game resulted in a two-two tie however the result was not important as the game was played to raise some much needed funds for local five-year old boy Unai, who has cerebral palsy and requires a walker, with all entrance and raffle ticket sales going directly towards the 7,000 euros required. About 200 Manchester City fans, plus friends and family of Unai enjoyed the game. Among the former players were team captain, Peter Barnes, who also spent a season playing in Spain for Real Betis in 1982-83, goalkeeper Eric Nixon, Dave and Gary Bennet, Scott Thomas, Andy Dibble and possibly the oldest man on the pitch, 62 year old Richard "Asa" Hartford, who could still show the young lads

a thing or two! On the sidelines were former City legends Tommy Booth and England Goalkeeper Joe Corrigan, who happily posed for photographs and signed autographs throughout the match. The match was played in good spirit although the veterans of City found themselves outpaced at time with the younger legs from Skala. For those of us brought up in another era, it was interesting to watch the more direct style and harder tackles from City players, against the more ‘delicate’ play from the Spanish team. The Manchester City Former Players FC is managed by Derek Partridge who has spent 34 years in various guises at Manchester City and organises ten to twelve games per year. This was the third time the team have travelled to the Costa Blanca and they are looking forward to the possibility of playing in a Legends tournament next year featuring two La Liga teams and another English team, linked in with a celebrity golf weekend. But if anyone deserves thanks, that must go to Unai himself, who gave us a very important lesson in life, which is one that despite the adversities that life puts in the way, Unai did not stop smiling for a single moment or complained for even a second, during the game.

The biggest change between the summer and winter league is that there are 8 games per match in the summer compared with 7 in the winter, not only does that allow for more members of a club to have a game but it also keeps us away from the television, bbq's, pool, drinks on the deck etc. just to get us hot and sweaty, as sometimes the weather does not play fair and it is just as hot at 18.00hrs as it is at noon. Casas Manuel, who are estate agents based in Benijofar, are once again sponsoring the league and also any tournaments that will be played throughout summer - when we have nothing else to do!!Thank you for your support and look forward to representatives visiting from time to time. The 1st matches were played last week and the results are as follows;FUN DIVISION Dominos 5-3 Amapolis Torre Del Agua 4-4 Hideaway El Raso Bandits 7-1 Vista Diablos Los Bandidos 6-2 Peacocks

ABBEY ANGLING FISHING

CARP-R-US CLUB NEWS.

By Terry Screen The 11th and final round of the Spring Series was fished on the Eden Canal on the 4th June. Although a lot of the pegs are now fishable, a lot more work is needed to be done and hopefully the four clubs will now work together to get this done. At the beginning of the match the water was pulling through and ran off about 8 inches, but when the flow stops the bites tail off making the fishing hard going. The water is also a muddy colour and not the normal green algae colour, also with the weather picking up the snakes and terrapins are beginning to show up again. 1st Bill (The Master) Reade with 8.370kg fishing floating bread 2nd Marlene (The Sweetie Lady) Hutchinson with 7.120kg fishing the pole using bread and maggot, well done on fishing your new pole for the first time !! 3rd Alan (The Chairman) Reid with 6.620kg fishing the feeder using bread The final results of the Spring Series Cup with the best 8 from 11 matches counting - First: Stan Roberts with 68 points, Second: Dave Hoare with 62 points, Third: Andy Stevenson with 58 points Next week sees the start of the Summer Series, all details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND V EUROPE - AT VISTABELLA 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. GOLF COURSE PRICING STRATEGIES The usual economic reaction to a fall in demand for any product is to review internal costs in an attempt to find ways to REDUCE selling price in an attempt to attract clients and golf is no different to any other market. Unfortunately here in Spain we have seen our hosts react to a lack of golfers by simply INCREASING green fee prices in an attempt to gather as much revenue as possible from a smaller number of golfers. You don’t have to understand the economics to any depth to understand that this approach can only work short term and long terms reduces the number of golfers even further as they travel to other countries in an attempt to find affordable golf. At a working level within golf clubs they understand this but the hierarchy of many local golf courses still have a false belief that green fee prices here in Spain are too low and that they should generally increase all prices For most players golf consist of the golf on the course and the social side in the bar after the game but again the relatively high level of golf club bar prices drive players away from the course to local bars. As an example of this we were yesterday charge by a course in the north of the region €3.20 for a small bottle of beer that can be purchased in any local bar for nearly half that price .The first golf course that fully understands this issue will undoubtedly become popular and successful. On a more positive front a few brief discussions with the courses would indicate that perhaps the message has stuck home and they are looking at ways to offer better deals to golfers all year around rather than take rich pickings in March, April and October. We will see!!!! 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.

HOLLOW TINING WATCH Las Ramblas - 3rd-11th June.......Villamartin - 10th-17th June QUOTATION OF THE WEEK “I have done nothing wrong it is a press campaign against me” – Luis Suarez (Liverpool Cannibal Striker)

This was the second year of the Ryder Cup style competition between a Great Britain and Ireland team and European team which was the idea of Pablo Riestra - Director of Golf at Vistabella Golf and Ivie Davies – Secretary of The Vega Baja Premier Golf League. The Vistabella course was in very good condition and the greens back to the high standard following pre-season maintenance. Each team consisted of 28 players each and the format was a modified matchplay with the winning players scoring a point per hole, so having a maximum of eighteen points. The first 10 matches were singles matchplay playing off maximum handicaps and the remaining 9 matches being fourball better ball ? the difference, again a point for winning the hole. The champions would be the team with the best total number of points from both the singles and pairs. It was an early “shot gun” start for the 56 players, with the weather just about perfect for golf and the course was set up well, for an exciting competition. During the competition all the players were provided with Bocadillo and water by clubhouse restaurant. The first European win was by Mike Reeves followed by Alan Moody who was a last minute replacement. The ten singles went in the to GB&I 6.5 to Europe’s 3.5 a reverse of last

year. So it was all down to the pairings, and the first two matches went GB&I’s way with wins for their pairings of Ian Faulkner/Billy Wilks and Seamus Martin/John Leggate. Interesting enough when they, it’s a small world golf brought together Ian Faulkner and Billy Wilks who were ship mates in the navy and had lost touch. So it was a very nervous nailing biting wait to see the pairings score but GB&I’s Captain was fortunately relieved of not having a repeat of last year as pairings total scores was GB&I 6.5 and Europe 2.5. So the final score was a resounding win, to GB&I 13 to Europe 6 Following a meal and refreshments in the clubhouse restaurant the Vitasbella Ryder Cup trophy was presented to the GB&I Captain Ivie Davies by the Captain of Europe Pablo Riestra and the winning team presented with individual medals. Congratulations to all the players for making this competition again such a memorable one and a big thank you to Vistabella Golf and its very accommodating staff for playing their part. The trophy will be displayed in the Vistabella Golf clubhouse, until next year 2014.

EUROGOLF SOCIETY - FINAL MONTHLY MEDAL Today’s competition was the final monthly medal of the Eurogolf 2012/2013 season. The turnout was down on our usual medal, due to the proximity of El Raso Captains day (7th) and the hot weather. None the less, 35 players turned out and enjoyed a good day’s golf. Today’s winner was Malcolm Foskett who managed to score a net Par, closely followed by Roger Richings, and John Barraclough (also best gross with 78), who were both 1 shot behind. Results: Gold: Malcolm Foskett, 72; Roger Richings 73, J Barraclough 73. Silver: David Gelsthorpe 74, Chris Stanley 75 & 3rd Jan Shorely, also 75. Nearest The Pins: 5th Ian Pegg, 11th & 15th John Barraclough, 17th Keith Wright. Football: Dave Nicholls x 2 and Ian Pegg. Toffs: Tuesdays Toffs was also down on numbers, but was still a good day.

Results: Gold 1st John Barraclough 35, 2nd Dave Nicholls 34, 3rd Vince Tocker 33. Silver: 1st Alan Venables 39, 2nd Bob Shorely 35, 3rd Tony Stanley 34. Bronze: Orlando Ferrol 41, Phyllis Venables, Jan Shorely.

LO CRISPIN GOLF SOCIETY SPRING CUP - BONALBA 44 players and guests arrived at a sun drenched Bonalba Golf course for the society’s Spring Cup competition. The game was one of two halves with light wind on the front nine and gale force on the back. The bunkers could have had more sand in them with majority of shots being thinned and on one hole Rick Hards shot hit Bill Croft who was marking his ball on the green, after Rick realised all was well he suggested Bill should have a 2 shot penalty for deflecting his ball, no concern there then. The scores for the day were, 1st Brian Rendell 40 points, 2nd Damien Elliott 36 Points, 3rd John Henderson 33 Points Nearest the Pins: Hole 4 Brian Rendell, Hole 8 Gordon Cobb, Hole 11 Rock (The Basher) Hards, Hole 14 Nick Capasso Best Guest / New Member – Ann Day 36 Points There was only one winner of the 2 ‘s’ pot - John Dunnion The Free game draw was won by new member Rod Day. The presentation dinner was held in the Tavern so once again a big thanks to David, Jose and their staff for a great evening. Our next event is at Villamartin in 2 weeks.

SAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY AT VILLAMARTIN The high hopes and optimistic expectations of playing this golf game in its “proper”, true and intended form can so easily be completely destroyed, especially by allowing hole number eleven at Villamartin to be played in just as many shots!! Playing the previous hole, though I say it myself, in just three perfect shots gave me a much-needed shot in the arm as I looked forward to possibly repairing some of the front nine damage inflicted mainly by my wayward putting. In fact my one putt birdie, for some unknown reason, had the complete opposite effect and the shot tally just kept climbing! The whole experience certainly brings home the pressure-free conditions under which we usually play our Stableford games. Making a complete and utter kibosh of any hole is quite easily sorted by simply putting the ball in your pocket and trying again at the next hole. It’s a whole different ball game in a medal round which

in truth is a far more accurate record of your day’s activities…..warts and all. Villamartin, as usual, was in splendid condition with the greens running as fast as ever. It was good to see quite a number of guys generally cleaning up the often ignored scruffy areas of the course. A great turnout of nearly forty players competed in the fourth round of the Bogeys Medal Shield event, sponsored by one of the finest restaurants in the area – “Bogeys” on the ground floor in Villamartin Plaza. The four NTP’s were awarded to Andy Imrie, Ally Murray, Keith Stevenson and Steve Fleet. Dave Hazell took the day’s best guest prize with his net 77 before making the wise decision to become a fully fledged member. Top four in the silver category were all under par with 4th going to Norman McBride (71), 3rd to John Parker on C/B (70), 2nd to Ally Murray (70) and top slot to Arnie Hanson with a very impressive 68. The gold winners however were all over par with 4th going to Phil de Lacy, 3rd to Alan McDonald and 2nd to Darren Hancock…..all three came in with 75’s which had to be sorted out on count-back. Once again as the friendly banter rang out around the terrace on his name being announced…winner of the gold division was our very own “champion”, Steve Fleet with 73. Please visit www.smgs.org to keep abreast of society activities and meetings or give a buzz to any committee member…..visitors are always made very welcome at any of our Wednesday venues.

EL PLANTIO 2 GOLF SOCIETY Last week's competition was the Monthly Medal, we had 16 players today, all looking forward to a good days golfing. The weather was lovely, however there was a little uncertainty for all when we discovered that the green's had been hollow-tined and as a Medal round with all shots counting we expected to see the number of putts contributing to some high scores. Proves how wrong you can be, clearly a number of members prefer putting over a surface that resembles the moon as 2 members came in under Par one on Par

HUB SPORTS BAR GS AT VILLAMARTIN

Mar Menor hosted the Hubbers latest event, not the most difficult of the Nicklaus Trail courses, but many peoples favourite. Most players and observers alike would nominate the course as the easiest of the six in the group, but tell that to the Hubbers members and guests and you would receive a different answer. A meagre average of 25.8 stapleford points tells the story, not as easy as it looks, with no one going the 18 without a ¨blob¨, no personal handicaps were beaten on the day with Roger Duncan the lowest handicap player (off 6) mustering just 26 points and no scoring on the 18th. Hubbers captain Simon Williams was full of expectancy as it is just over a year now since he and wife Leanne held their wedding reception at the Mar Menor Hotel. His miserly 22 points indicated his mind was elsewhere as the happy couple are expecting their first child in a few weeks. The Harvey brothers, Kyle and Alan figured a little better, Kyle the elder (off 8) amassed 30 points and 2 nearest the pins. The first (in 2) on the short 288 metre, 12th, Par 4 and the second

on the Par 3, 154 metre, 14th. Younger sibling Alan also managed a creditable 30 points and was just pipped to third place in the Grand Prix on count back from Colin Marsden. Alan claimed bragging rights over his brother with a fine birdie on the 2nd, 151 metre Par 3. The best guest award, sponsored by PJ´s Rent a Car, was presented to John Proctor, who just edged out Mike D´Arcy by the odd point. Winner of the day´s Grand Prix was the popular Simon Lee with a modest 31 points and a cut to 10 despite not achieving his handicap, a bitter sweet day for the Leeds United fan. Results: PJ´s Rent a Car Guest: John Proctor 33 pts N.T.P: Hole 12 Kyle Harvey, Hole 14 Kyle Harvey, Hole 7 Deryck Dubberley Grand Prix 3rd Alan Harvey 30 pts, 2nd Colin Marsden 30 pts, 1st Simon Lee 31 pts. Picture shows L-R Simon Williams hubbers captain, Simon Lee Grand Prix winner Paul Durrant

and a few more just over. All in all a good days golf was had by almost everyone, Dave Swann's 10 on the 7th seemed like a disaster, but fortunately Graham Blakeway out did him in style with a 13 on the same hole, sorry graham, no prizes for highest score. The results this week: Nearest the pin: hole 5 John O'Brien, hole 9 Gordon Wayne. In third place was Ian Henderson H/cap 7 net score 54, Second place was Frank Stanhope H/cap 10 net score 53, First was Gordon Wayne H/cap 11 net score 50

LA ZENIA GOLF SOCIETY A good turnout for the first Presidents Trophy of the new season played at Roda on Thursday 30th May not playing at Roda for a long time, the course was in great condition, and with the help of some warm sunny Spanish weather, it looked set for a goods golfing. At the start from Gogarty's there was a fine sprinkle of rain which was a bit of a worry. Mo Flint stormed away with this first Presidents day with a great score of 41 pt's plus winning n/t/p on the 7th. Maybe he means business this season. we returned back to Gogarty's for the presentations carried out by captain Ernie Wilson. Results : Winner Mo Flint 41 pt's, Best Guest Ross Mac 42 pt's, n/t/p's No 2 Jim Scott, No 7 Mo Flint, No 12 in 2 Ollie Thehan, No 18 in 3 Jeff Luke, There were no two's winners this week.

A very busy week kicked off with entertaining Horadada Hawks, on a splendid morning, with most rinks close and a possibility of a result either way. In the end both teams took 3 rinks, whilst the Hawks snatched the overall shots, but it was a great morning’s bowls in lovely company. On Tuesday evening El Rancho played San Miguel in the Premier 20, the increasing speed of the home mat as it cooled caused a little consternation and both teams won 2 rinks, with good play all round. At San Miguel a strong home team took 3 rinks to El rancho’s 1, that being after a great display by El Rancho’s trip of ladies, but all played well. But all played well and there is no shame in losing to a strong San Miguel team. Our Kings Cup match away at Horadada, on Wednesday morning, could not have had a

more exciting finish. With all other rinks finished and our pairs playing their last end we stood at 4pts each but 3 shots down overall. The girls held their nerve though and won by 4 shots to give us the extra 2 pts for overall shots 88 to 87. Well played all. Thursday afternoon found us entertaining Emerald Isle to a rearranged Hurricane League fixture, El Rancho took the advantage of the home mat, with good play from both sides, to take the rinks by 4 to 2 and the overall shots. Ros Holmes, Mick Ager and David Whitworth 21-16. John Cleal, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 30-6. Sandra Needham, Malc Sykes and Shirley Edwards 13-20. Graham Day, Mike Barnett and Malc Elmore 21-13. Rob Clark, Richard Needham and Rod Wright 28-7. Edward Elsam, Ron

Edwards and Mike Smith 14-20. We concluded the week by travelling to Monte Mar and although we were well beaten by losing all 14 points, we did play some good bowls and thoroughly enjoyed the morning in great company. Remember losing does not necessarily mean you have played badly. Ros Holmes, Mick Ager and David Whitworth 13-18. John Cleal, Jim Jarvie and Alec Morrice 8-34. Trish Elsam, Malc Sykes and Shirley Edwards 16-21. Graham Day, Mike Barnett and Drew Gerrard 13-23. Edward Elsam, Ron Edwards and Rod Wright 7-19. Jim Gracie, Malc Elmore and Mike Smith 6-26.Sponsored by Caser. For membership details please contact Irene Mangan 966717700 or Marianne Holtham on 966772222.

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB

LA SIESTA BOWLS REPORT

By Steve Hibberd At a recent GBC committee meeting, it was decided that we will be entering the following teams for the forthcoming winter season: One Winter & 1 Berleen league team, plus 3 Southern & 3 SABA league teams. Therefore, members are now eligible to play in Winter, Southern & SABA leagues next season, instead of only 2 leagues as before. All interested members should indicate on the selection form in the clubhouse, if you wish to be considered for all 3 leagues. The internal club Tues Fixed Mat & Jack league reached its conclusion. Winners were Graham Bater/Allan Brown (sub: Brian Miller), whilst runners up were Pam Cluney/Jim Reeves. Our Prem 20 side couldn't have had a harder start in this summers opening match. Local rivals Quesada are a tough nut to crack, as proved the case with us going down 6 points to 12. At home, only Jan & Steve Westall (pairs) secured any points, as they made light work of their opponents in their 22-12 victory. A short hop over the AP7, Jim Oliver was leading the way, on his way to a fine 21-16 singles victory. Skip Lin Miller led Averil Toozer & John Wray to an equally impressive 21-11 success, this time in the trips. Country Bowls was the setting for Monarchs latest Kings Cup outing. Starting the match a player short, CB elected to play the rinks with only 3, meaning that although the score after 18 ends was 14 all, a 25% deduction gave our team of Sheila Stead, Sue Johnson, Jan Pocock & Barry Collins, a 14-10.5 victory. Lynn Greenland once again showed her singles pedigree, as she came up trumps 21-18. Equally as impressive is the record of pairs teaming, Cas Thomas & Brian Pocock, who overcame top opposition to win 20-16. Even with an inferior shots difference of 80-82.5, a successive away 6-6 draw proved a very satisfying score line. Last week saw both our SABA Spitfire league side in action twice. Glosters started the week with only Phil Lockley, Jack Redfern & Ken Parker (19-16) hitting form, as they went down 2-12 at Country Bowls. Twas an identical score line 4 days later, when they visited Quesada. This time the points were earned courtesy of 2 drawn rinks. Well done: Janet Webb, Sue Johnson, Lin Miller 19-19. Jean Thompson, Dave Thompson, Marilyn Fryatt 14-14. Gladiators meanwhile, fared slightly better, and although they lost both their home matches, it was a much closer affair. Against San Miguel Moors, they went down 4-10, with these 2 rinks doing the biz: Jeannie Clements, Sue Mahomet, Steve Cantley 28-16. Brian Tomlin, John Wray, Colin Lloyd 16-15. By the end of the week they came even closer, this time winning on 3 rinks, and only losing out on overall shots by ONE. At time of going to press, I hadn't received details of the match, so unfortunately cannot name the winners in the 6 points to 8 defeat. Finally, the committee would like to thank all members who put in a lot of time and effort to make the recent Federated Nationals opening ceremony at GBC, a successful one.

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB On Saturday 1st June we entertained the stars of the CBBA Provincial team and showed them that Vistabella Bowls Club is one to be reckoned with.

MONTEMAR BOWLS AND SOCIAL CLUB Sponsored by Super Valu Earlier this year the Monte Mar Bowls & Social Club were invited to visit the Indalo Bowls Club in Mojacar, Almeria. This tour, known as the President’s Tour, was organised by the two clubs and 42 club members from Monte Mar attended. 35 Monte Mar bowlers played in three arranged sessions against the Indalo Club. These were on the afternoon on Sunday 2nd and morning and afternoon on Monday 3rd.In each session the two clubs used 32 players each in 8 rinks. After the final session Indalo had gained 26 points to 24 by Monte Mar. The overall shots were 419 to Indalo and 412 to Monte Mar. We all gained from the experience, especially those new to bowling and those who do not usually play in league games. On the evening of Sunday 2nd June the Indalo club had arranged for both clubs to have an evening meal in a restaurant near the hotel on the Mojacar Playa.The hotel, restaurant, bowling and friendship were all excellent and we thank the Indalo club, particularly their Vice Captain Mo De-boer, for inviting us and making our stay there such a pleasant one.It would be nice to make this an annual event, one year at Indalo, the next at Monte Mar. Hopefully too we can arrange more similar visits. Wednesday 5th June Kings Red division Monte Mar Lords were away to La Siesta. The singles matches were a family affair with Diane Ridley playing Pat Harman and Joe Ridley playing Brian Harman. La Siesta winning both matches by 15 to 21. In the pairs Alan Ashberry and Dave Melville came second 14 to 20. The trips skipped by Brian Zelin won by one point in a very close match 14 to 13. Colin Armitage skipped the rinks to a win 18 to 13. Shots for 76 Shots against 88, Points for 4 Points against 8 Premier 20 Summer League. Not the start we had hoped against Vistabella. However, a great result in both singles matches with Pauline Woodfine winning 21-11 and Stan Routledge winning 21-3. Also Alan Ashberry and Dave Melville had a excellent win in there pairs winning 27-5. With the Rinks Skiped by Colin Armitage losing by 2 on the last end. Hoping for a better result next week.

the trips from Sandra Burrows, Les Barber and Mac Maclean and also in the rinks with Ann Rudkin, Neil Burrows, Mike Regan and John Rudkin, while at Monte Mar we were successful in the Trips with Gail Watson, Ian Kenyon and Fred Willshire while Olwyn Ratcliffe, Martin Foulcer, Bill Corbishley and Brian Dunn won the rinks to give us an overall 12 points to 6 victory by the narrowest of margins 139 shots to 136. Wednesday’s Kings Cup game was always going to be difficult against a strong San Luis team and so it proved we lost by 8 points to 4 and 92 shots to 80. Our wins came in the Men’s singles, well done Ian Kenyon and also to our victorious trips team of Sheila Cox, Martin Foulcer and Brian Dunn. Friday was once again back to SABA League action and although not quite as productive as Monday’s haul it was still a satisfactory day’s work. The Greeners were at home to La Siesta Hornets and although we lost 3 of the 6 rinks thanks to a big win from Rosemarie Savage, Jim Marshall and Andy Leggatt helped by a win from Pat Wright, Lesley Prockter and Pat Rafferty plus a draw from Ken Savage, Audrey Sinclair and Allan Sinclair, we took the extra 2 points for a 107 to 88 shots difference win. This produced a 7 points all draw. The Fairways made their second trip of the week to La Marina this time to take on the Navigators and as on Monday they secured a 10 points to 4 victory thanks to wins from Martin Foulcer, Barbara Brown and Maggie Furness, Olwyn Ratcliffe, Mac Maclean and Brian Dunn, Stuart Allman, Les Barber and Arthur Brown plus Sandra Burrows. Neil Burrows and Jenny Bowman. This win keeps them top of the league so keep up the good work guys.

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS On 30 May the Vulcans played host to a rearranged game with Monte Mar Torro on a beautiful afternoon under clear blue sky. However, it turned out to be a black day for the Vulcans winning on only one rink, with Sandra & Brian Kavanagh and Ed McLaughlin taking 26 shots to 16. One rink lost by one shot, another by just two shots, so we emerged with 2 points against Monte Mar's 12 - 89 shots to 115. On the rink where we lost by one shot we Bill Young is were holding 7 and Bill no longer on Young came along and our Xmas Card nicked it - he's definitelist ly off our Christmas list! What could have been just wasn't on the day. On 31 May the Vulcans visited Horadada Hawks, hoping for a change of luck. Well surprise, surprise, we didn't have any luck on a sunny but very windy day that we just couldn't get to grips with, going down again by 94 shots to 111, 3 points to 11. One drawn rink and only one win by Maureen Jeffs, Berni & John Evans with 27 shots to 11. Also on 31st the Victors were at home to Country Bowls Foxes. Unfortunately the Foxes could only field 5 rinks and therefore had to forfeit a rink. There followed a good win for Chris Ayling, Glenda O'Dell and Jim Mulloy with 30 shots to 11. This, along with two others, gave the Victors a close points win of 8 to 6 with a shot difference of 100 to 87. A hard but well-earned win. On 3 June the Victors paid a visit to Quesada Blenheims on a glorious day for bowling, but the sun took it's toll on the Victors, only managing to win on one rink but 3 rinks losing by only one shot on each. It makes you want to pull your hair out, doesn't it? 85 shots against 107 - 2 points to EI against 12 to Quesada - damn and blast!

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB Lions Report - The Lions were at home to San Miguel Mavericks this week, and what a tremendous result we achieved, 12 points, shots (104-81). At the start of the game it looked as though we were going to get a storm, but in the event we had to cope with very high winds. Despite very tight games in the Singles, both Nigel Baigent and Pearl Houghton had good wins. In the Pairs Jackie Breslin and Bill Pain had to work hard to achieve their 21-18 win. The Triples of Deidre Leeming, Tom Hill and Derek Toozer struggled early with the conditions early on, but with the home side making a dramatic change in jack length they went on to post the best win of the day 24-15. The same can be said of the fours of William Holtham, Dave Donovan, Chip Chapman and Pete Bonsor, who were 8-15 down at fourteen ends, and then they upped the ante and picked up 9 shots over the last four ends to go on and win the game 17-16. A good day for our second game of the series in the Princes League with Ruth and Nick Birch and George Carnell achieving a magnificent win 28-9. Comets Report - Comets were at home to our other team the Lancasters on Monday 3-6-13 & a good game was had in fantastic weather but unfortunately the Lancasters came out on top winning by 8 points to 6 & by 108 shots to 101 bringing them closer to us in the league. Elche Childrens Home bring & Buy sale by now the sale will have gone ahead by now & judging by the amount of stuff stored in the clubhouse for the sale on Sunday it will have been a successful day.

CF MIL PALMERAS CF Mil Palmeras Benjamines 6 Capablanca 2 Sponsored by Sunshine FM First half and the Toros gave Capablanca to much space .8mins in and David MiltonStams cross gave the Capablancas defender no choice but to stretch or the ball knocking it past the Keeper . The Toros lacked a bit of composure on the ball giving the ball away a lot allowing Capablanca a few early chances which Diego Sheffield dealt with. Capablanca hit home next before Ben Naylor made the most of a goal line scramble to take the lead .Capablanca weren't finish quickly putting the pressure on to grab the equaliser. The Toros came straight back with Ben finding David to retake the lead and finish the half 3-2. Second half and with a change of formation the Toros came out fighting with Ben crossing for Diego to finish. A few mins later Bailey Tomlinson picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box to grab another goal. Luke Naylor in goal, Aron Beng and Paolo Webb kept control at the back allowing Luca Webb to push up with Naomi Sheffield. Diego grabbed his second of the match .6-2 up and the Toros kept the pressure on for the last 15 ins of the match but couldn't find the back of the net. A good result but not the quality of football we have come to expect from this side. MOM Diego Sheffield. 3rd in the league is outstanding for this team with so many younger players and has only come about from hard, determined team work. Benjamines Semi Final Play Off CF Mil Palmeras 4 Junior Strikers 6 With third and second place playing for a place in the final this was going to be a tough match. Juniors got off too the better start and made the most of their early chances. The Toros have never given up all year and today every player stepped up to the plate blocking and tackling all over the pitch. The only place the Toros lacked bite was finishing with some good chances not being taken. Bailey Tomlinsons determined drive through Juniors defence gave the Toros their only goal of the half to leave the score 1-4 at half time. Second half and the Toros hit straight back finding the back off the net in the 1st min. The rest of the half was end to end stuff with both sides grabbing 2 more goals each. This team has taken 3 years to build and grow and their commitment to each other is outstanding.

FAREWELL TO MR LA MARINA

We are sad to report that our President Mr Phil Morris passed away last week. Bowls Report for week Commencing 2nd June 2013 This week started well with a Sunday Captain V Vice Captain game for the Jubilee Trophy sponsored by San Fulgencio town hall, the game went well with the Captains side coming out on top by the narrowest of margins 2 Points, at this point i have to apologize to the following Linda Vincent, Reg Jackson and Martin Webb for announcing them the winners only to be told I had made a mistake and had to ask for the Gold Medals back (sorry guys) then present to the actual winners Mo Barker, Margaret McLaughlin, Skip Graham Norris, the Silver medal winners were Hilary Cronk, Jack Chorlton Skip Jim Donnelly well done to you all. Sadly just after the game we were given the very bad news that our President Mr Phil Morris had passed away peacefully in hospital. Phil as I am sure most of you know was Mr La Marina and was very well known on the bowling circuit, the social events will never be the same again without Phil dressed in a oversized fur coat (along with Rex) doing their rendition of Flanagan and Allens Underneath the Arches, the words re written about

La Marina, our thoughts and prayers go out to Joan and the family. The bowls this week were understandably a bit flat and the results reflected this ( no excuses given) on Monday the pilots were well beaten at home by a very good Vistabella team going down 10 points to 4, the Navigators doing a little better but still losing 9 points to 5 away at La Siesta. Tuesday evening saw the first 20/20 games played we started badly going down 16 points to 2 to La Siesta must do better if future weeks. Wednesday our Kings Cup side had a good 10 to 2 win against Quesada Tigers a result that puts the team in 2nd place in the league. Friday the Pilots made the trip to Horadada and came away with a creditable 8 to 6 win so with a bit of luck that will move us up the league table. The Navigators were at home to top of the league Vistabell Fairways unfortunate going down to a 4 points to 10 defeat a result that further cements Vistabella`s title ambitions.

ELCHE’S CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON ENDS IN TRIUMPH! ELCHE CF ................................3 CD GUADALAJARA..................1 The jubilant crowd invaded the pitch at the end of Elche’s final match of the season, where the Illicitanos came back from being a goal down to score three second half goals, two from players about to leave the club, to send everyone away with happy memories of a fantastic season. Elche led league 2A from start to finish and are deservedly promoted back to La Liga as champions after a gap of 24 years out of the big time. Question: should mastermind coach Fran Escriba play all his first-choice stars who got the Illicitanos promoted, or continue to give all the reserves and leavers a go, as the result didn’t really matter? Well, a bit of both really, and you have to say Escriba’s hardly put a foot wrong this super season. Diego Rivas continued in goal, with my player of the season Etxeita back from injury to partner young Hector Verdes in central defence, with sound substitute full backs Flano and Mantecon. In midfield crowd favourite Xumetra started his last game for Elche, supplemented across the park by Generelo, top scorer Coro, Carles Gil and Fidel, with Linares starting up front, also playing his last game for the Franjiverdes. What is it about visitors that haven’t read the script? Guadalajara – from Castile La Mancha, not Mexico started well, and on the quarter hour audaciously went ahead. A seemingly-innocent cross from the left was nodded down wide of Rivas just inside the post to subdue the happy crowd – well, for a while – until Linares went down in the box amid loud home appeals for a penalty, ending with booking Elche’s striker for diving: that was the only yellow card, incidentally in a match played in the best of spirits.

BY JOHN MCGREGOR

Xumetra scored in his final game for Elche Photo:Kevin Rendall

Xumetra then raced to the line and pulled his cross straight onto Coro’s head, the leading scorer’s accurately steered effort heading for the corner but somehow hooked away off the line with the goalkeeper beaten. 0 – 1 it stayed at half-time; oh dear, was this going to be one of ‘those’ days? Whatever was said in Elche’s dressing room during the interval, it worked. Almost immediately after the re-start Mantecon and Flano worked the ball up the right, and the low cross was turned in first time by Xumetra to great joy all round, the winger signing-off minutes later to genuine gratitude. ‘Zoomi’, off now to Levante was replaced by another possibly-leavingold-favourite Palanca. Club captain Generelo was injured: hmm... and went off to be subbed by new local boy Sergi. Carles Gil suddenly surged forward down the middle to find Linares at the edge of the box, who turned and slammed the ball into the corner to put the Illicitanos 2 -1 up. The striker who has had such savage luck with injuries, but always gives 110% then departed to another standing ovation. The huge relief of now suddenly leading from losing was signalled all round by the Mexican wave, and when the welcome news that arch-rivals Hercules were losing the crowd’s joy was complete. All finished? No, not quite. After practically all season out injured, high-hoped-midfielder Javi Flores came on as sub and immediately stormed through to make it three with 15 minutes left, for everyone to really celebrate in style. What a fabulously memorable, record season this has been. Villareal beat Almera 1 – 0, so the yellow submariners will go up automatically with Elche, the play-offs now between Almeria, Girona, Alcorcon and Las Palmas. Let’s make no mistake: the glory is all Elche’s this season – and how the Franjiverdes have deserved it… Mucho Elche!
