SPECIAL DAY FOR ROBER T AND RACHEL AT LA ZENIA More than 40 family and friends travelled out to the Costa Blanca last week to celebrate the wedding of

Robert Mclean and his partner of 4 years, Rachel Spear.

The couple currently resides in

East Anglia where Robert works as an engineer. Rachel is employed in a local care home and when they decided to tie the knot, as lovers of sun, sea and sand, and particularly with the bride’s parents, Phillip and Janet Spear, living on the Orihuela Costa, it seemed sensible to choose La Zenia Hotel as the venue.

So at 5pm last Wednesday afternoon, in temperatures approaching the low 30’s, Rachel was escorted through the lobby and reception rooms of the hotel by her son Kyle, who had the honour of giving her away. The pair were led to the altar by pipers from the Torrevieja Pipes and Drums.

To say there were one or two astonished holidaymakers caught in holiday mood relaxing by the side of the pool would be putting it mildly.

The wedding ceremony was carried out to a magnificent backdrop of the Mediterranean sea by Pastor Keith Brown of La Siesta Evangelical Church.

Best man was Robert’s son Daniel while Rachel’s long time friend Jackie was the chief bridesmaid.

AIR TRAVEL NEWS SPAIN TO UK FLIGHT IN DOUBLE DIFFICULTY A Thomson Airways plane, which was operating on a scheduled flight from Alicante to Cardiff on Saturday the 22nd of June, aborted its landing at Cardiff airport, the flight crew reporting a problem with the flaps of the Boeing 757-200. The aircraft returned to try again some 10 minutes later, landing safely and without incident. The emergency crews were on standby but were not required.

The aircraft then continued in service on another scheduled flight, two hours later, with a delay of one hour. The airline confirmed that the crew declared “PAN”, an urgent situation but not necessarily life threatening, unlike a “MAYDAY”, as a precaution due to a minor flaps problem and landed safely.

The following day, the same aircraft returned to Cardiff on a scheduled flight from Arrecife in Spain, when the crew also declared PAN on approach, reporting a flaps problem, continuing to land at a slightly higher than normal speed.

The airline once again confirmed a “minor flaps problem”, whereas the airport confirmed the emergency service were put on standby, once again, not being needed. The aircraft, which was built in 1999 and started life with British Airways, before a brief spell at Air 2000, onto First Choice Airways and with Thomson since 2008, remained in Cardiff after this flight.

Meanwhile, on Monday, a Swiftair ATR Turboprop, covering for Air Europa on the Madrid to Vigo route, had to make an emergency landing at Barajas airport, minutes after takeoff.

The aircraft, carrying 68 passengers, left the Madrid airport at 17:58 hours on Monday. Eleven minutes later, the pilot detected a problem with one of the engines and decided to return to Barajas.

Having declared the situation to air traffic control, the emergency protocol was adopted, band the plane landed without incident. Passengers were able to leave the plane on foot and were relocated to a similar plane, from the same company that took off from Madrid at 20:45.

As a result of planes struggling to carry the increased amount of hand luggage in the cabin, easyJet is introducing new size restrictions this week. Only luggage which is smaller than 50 centimetres by 40 centimetres by 20 centimetres, including handles, pockets

Some 40,000 people, 70% of which are children, will depart from Madrid Barajas airport this summer, with the sole reason of visiting other countries to study languages abroad. This is according to data from ASEPROCE, the Spanish Association of Promoters of Courses Abroad. The United Kingdom is the most popular destination, with 95% of them choosing English speaking countries, although second place is held by Malta. Germany and France are fast gaining pace however, largely due to the prospect of work in those countries.

The new route to Moscow reinforces connections Alicante Airport with the Russian capital, which already has flights with Transaero Airlines, Siberia Airlines, and Vim Airlines while Rossiya connects Alicante with St Petersberg.

LOCAL NEWS R OUNDUP The town council of Pilar de la Horadada has renewed their commitment to helping the Cáritas charity, by extending a pilot scheme where car parking in six areas can be paid for by means of a voluntary donation. Started in 2012, the councillor for public safety and security, Francisco Lancharro, said, "We believe this is an important initiative for the summer season, but also to help those who are faring worse at this time, whilst helping to protect and monitor the parking areas during the busiest time”.

ticipants received a drink, snack and even a gift, for showing their support for the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer, all with a musical accompaniment.

The municipal swimming pools of Pilar de la Horadada have opened for the summer, but in a perhaps unusual move for a town hall run facility, they have maintained the prices for admission the same as last year. The cost of using the facility is 2 euro for 3 to 13 year olds, and 3 euro for those classed as adults. The pools will remain open until the 1st of September.

In an extraordinary plenary session held on Tuesday, a motion was approved by an absolute majority to apply for the grant for carrying out quantitative and financial studies on reforming Gran Alacant bridge, which has become an increasing concern due to structural wear and tear, which has been met with joy by a number of campaigners who have been calling for action for around 15 months.

Pilar will also be launching their own “tapas route” from Friday the 5th of July, with 35 establishments offering a sample of a Spanish dining experience, with 29 restaurants offering food and 6 offering cocktails, all hoping to be voted the best, whilst showcasing the sort of dishes usually available as a snack in the bars. The campaign runs until the 14th of July and it is hoped that visitors will sample a range of dishes at as many restaurants as possible, for a bargain of just 2 euro each time.

There followed a day of partying and activities for children.

Their winning anthology, Shorts for Autumn, was planned to give members a focus for their fiction writing, but had to be (loosely) set in Autumn. They worked in pairs to edit and prepare stories for publication. It is dedicated to founder member Ian Govan, who died during its publication and was driven by helping other writers get into print.”

The winner of the town Tortillas Competition was chosen by the mayor, Jose Fidel Ros, who selected the champion based on presentation, taste and originality. Manoli Fernandez won first prize while the award for the most innovative entry went to Rachel.

Members of the government team, headed by the Mayor, celebrated the fiesta alongside hundreds of residents who all gathered at the Las Casicas. The Major took the opportunity to recognize the work of Gregorio y and Josefa, who have been organizing the fiesta in the small Pilar neighbourhood for 28 years. They were presented with a bouquet of flowers and a plaque in honor for their efforts.

Manuel Luzon provided live music during the evening which culminated at midnight with the lighting of the bonfires on the beach.

A spokesman said that everything passed without incident and residents are now looking forward to next year.

TORREVIEJA NEWS R OUNDUP A delegation from the Chinese city of Huìzh?u visited Torrevieja this week, making the first official steps with the two cities becoming twinned. The Huìzh?u Director of Foreign Affairs, Qiaohui Lui, and the Torrevieja Mayor, Eduardo Dolón, signed a document which is the preamble to a future twinning between the two cities. Huìzhou is located in central Guangdong province, part of the Pearl River Delta, bordering the provincial capital of Guangzhou to the west, Shaoguan to the north, Heyuan to the northeast, Shanwei to the east, Shenzhen and Dongguan to the southwest, and looks out to Daya Bay on the South China Sea to the south.

TORREVIEJA – FRIENDLY CITY OF THE ELDERLY Councillor Inmaculada Montesinos, together with the local president of the National Foundation Sin Barreras (MASBA), José Santiago Sempere, held a press conference last week at which they announced an agreement between their two organizations.

The councillor highlighted the collaboration between the City and MASBA two years ago, during which time they launched the pioneering course ‘Creativity and Musical Expression for the Elderly.’

Into it’s second year, this is now a practical workshop, aimed at introducing them to the world of music through the teaching of an instrument (the violin).

As part of their summer campaign, the Habaneras shopping centre has announced that they will remain open until 11 o´clock at night, including Sunday, so that shoppers can make the most of the summer sales.

The shopping centre also intends a program of entertainment to accompany the bargains on offer in the store, as opening hours are liberalised for the holiday season, thus maximising revenue. Small businesses in the centre of Torrevieja will also be doing their bit to try to compete with their neighbouring shopping giants, who have been alleged to be responsible for many local stores closing in recent years.

The Guardia Civil arrested a 53 year old Spanish man this week, accused of attempted arson on the business premises he was once part of. The officers became suspicious when the man tried to evade being seen by them during a routine patrol. They stopped the man and found he was carrying latex gloves and a lighter, hidden under his cap. Close by, they then located a vehicle with a petrol canister inside. They decided to carry out a check on the premises and found that a large puddle of liquid was on the lower level floor of the two storey building, then identified as being petrol. Believing they had thwarted a potentially lethal arson attack, the officers arrested the man.

A 45 year man, who was stabbed to death in Torrevieja last week, was killed by his own knife, which he carried in order to “defend” himself, after he was attacked and stabbed in an incident in the year 2000. An altercation occurred between two men, the 18 and 20 year olds accused of murder, and the victim, Francisco Javier Illescas, who allegedly pulled out his knife in defence. The two men decided to leave the scene at this point, but then quickly turned back to the victim, hitting him to the ground with a stone, taking his knife and then stabbing him five times, one blow reaching his heart, which resulted in his death. The victim´s widow confirmed the murder weapon had come from the household kitchen, whereas other family members stated that the victim had a history of drug abuse and petty crime, but had been “clean” for ten

The up and coming Torrevieja Rocks music festival, scheduled to take place at the Parque Antonio Soria on the 13th of July, has been postponed due to “technical reasons”.

In addition, the President has said his organization intends to extend it’s activities as it works with the city of Torrevieja in the development of programs that will benefit older people living in Torrevieja, claiming that it is the intention of his foundation that the city of Torrevieja be awarded the title of "Friendly City of the elderly" by the World Health Organization (WHO), within the framework of aging and life cycle.

This is a project that addresses the issues that affect the lives of the elderly in any city, such as social, health, economic, accessibility, housing, transportation, open spaces, safety, employment, communication, access to information, social inclusion and respect for the rights of citizens all of which are accomplished with the active participation of older people, taking into account their needs, perceptions and opinions.

The councilor said that the purpose of this agreement is to establish channels for the joint activities of a social health, promotion, assessment, collaboration, training or any other type that will benefit the group of Third age that represents 25% of the local population.

She said that the two parties will constitute a Joint Committee to monitor and evaluation the actions arising from this Agreement.

The agreement is effective from the date of signature and will last for four years. At the end of the term it may be extended by agreement of the two parties.

‘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 COMPAINING EXPAT Most expats find that from time to time they seem to be banging their heads against a concrete wall (sorry, no bricks on this island). Sometimes, it is the bureaucratic nature of the country which, to be fair, could be said about most countries where the expat doesn't fully understand the culture, language and systems.

In most cases, the issues and problems faced are our own fault and caused by misunderstandings and misinterpretations of language, particularly when concerned with legal, financial and medical issues, whilst occasionally it is the sheer bloody mindedness of the bureaucrat concerned, who doesn't quite see why expats should benefit from the same rules as he and his fellow countrymen. In such cases it should be a simple process of referring the bureaucrat and his organisation to the European Union Charter, but life is never quite that simple, is it?

If simple conversation fails, I recommend asking to speak to the boss of the outfit, who is usually having a late breakfast, speaking to a client, or probably having carnal relations with his secretary in the back office. Asking for the complaints book (libro de reclamaciones) is also a good start, and causes endless amusement for the office staff witnessing your displeasure. However, please be aware that nothing ever happens, but you will feel much better for filling it in.

Personally, I remain a great believer in the power of the good old letter of complaint. Old fashioned it may be, but it still has many useful functions, such as the surprise factor. After all, how many people do you know who still write letters? If you send a letter, at least you will appear literate and know what you are doing. It also has the power of that lovely word, gravitas, if carried out correctly.

A well-written letter far supersedes the frivolity of the phone call and unreliability of emails. After all, has anyone ever called you back

when promised? It is merely something to say when the recipient of your premium rate phone call to customer services wishes to complete the varnishing of her nails, or simply cannot be bothered to walk to the far end of the office to speak to the suit in charge. Emails are, in my opinion, a real no, no if you really want someone to read and act upon your complaint. It is far too easy for the intended recipient to say “Your email must have gone into spam”, “Did you send it to the correct email address?” or more insultingly, “Did you remember to press the send button?” I strongly suggest that if you wish to make an impact, you send a letter.

Firstly, ensure that your letter of complaint is well written. Cut out all the foul language, as well as repetition. Keep it brief and to the point.

Ensure that a copy is translated into Spanish as well as English, and send printed copies of both versions. Do not send a hand-written letter, because copper plate and the fountain pen went out of fashion a few years ago. We are always being told that standards in English have plummeted in recent years and that most foreigners speak and write English better than most British expats. Sadly, this is mostly true; so do not give our hosts the pleasure of proving it to you.

Secondly, stretch the truth a little. Attempt to show some inside knowledge of the issue about which you are complaining. Maybe you have a contact doing similar work in another Town Hall or bank? A little name-dropping may also help in Spain. The occasional threat may also assist your cause, such as hinting that you will close your account or start a petition. Personally, I always threaten exposure in the national papers, which tends to do the trick. Whatever you do, don't threaten a ‘denuncia’; this is just so passé nowadays, and your letter will merely be tossed aside with a snort.

Thirdly, always send a copy of your letter to the manager of the department concerned, with a copy to customer services at head office, marked ‘Urgent’. I always send a third copy to the Chief Executive of the organisation as well, but it must be addressed to a real person, so you will have to hunt for details on the Internet. The Chief Executive may never read your letter, but you can be sure that it will be logged, just in case you are a shareholder, or someone really important. Always send letters by signed for post. It costs a little extra, but just think of the inconvenience it causes. It is well worth

spending a few extra euros for this simple pleasure.

Fourthly, send a further copy by fax. The Spanish, in particular, continue to have a love affair with the humble fax machine, even though most expats popped theirs into the bin many years ago. Remember to print out the proof of sending that even the basic machines offer as standard.

Finally, never give up. If this process fails, simply repeat it, but include more people on your mailing list, such as your local councillor, trade association or ombudsman. Eventually, they will get fed up and listen. Even if they don't, the process of complaining will have given you considerable amusement, just as long as you don't take it too seriously.

ALLOTMENTS REINVENTED IN PILAR The Municipality of Pilar de la Horadada has invited applications from residents who wish to take on 10m2 plots of land in Las Villenas for organic gardening.

Applicants have until 23 July to submit their names. The list of those successful will be announced 2months later in September.

The council is making available a former orchard covering an area of 3,500 square metres. The land will be subdivided into plots of approximately 100 square metres which may then be used by the successful bidders for a period of two years. The prerequisite is that bidders can only grow organic produce.

The council have said that they will provide electricity, irrigation and all equipment.

“Our main objective is to ensure that these agricultural plots remain active, and the produce that they grow is available to those people who are not in a good place economically as they work to find a positive solution to their situations,” said the Councillor of Agriculture, Aurelio Samper.

“The plots will also help to create areas of coexistence where neighborly relations are able to flourish as the residents work together to promote food and

maintain gastronomic traditions related to local products.”

Those wishing to be considered for one of the plots need to be resident in the municipality and qualified to perform agricultural tasks. The applications will be vetted by employees from the Technicians of the Department of Agriculture.

SUB STANDARD TREATMENT FOR YOUTH OF ORIHUELA COSTA. During this time of austerity the city of Orihuela has spent over 130,000 euros on events for the young people living in the city over the past 10 months. The May Gala de la Juventud splashed out the staggering sum of 52,998 euros on hiring the reasonably well know singer David Bustamante to close this cultural event.

The young people of Orihuela city have been treated to several cultural events over recent months in a programme of entertainment that must be the envy of the young residents living on Orihuela Costa. The large concert featuring David Bustamante would have been surely been a great attraction to Costa teenagers who enjoy Spanish pop music. However, as usual there was no transport provided to enable coastal young people travel to Orihuela and no attempt was made to ensure that all members of the municipality could enjoy this free extravaganza.

The young people of Orihuela Costa not only have to put up with sub standard schools, where many students spend their entire school years educated in porta cabins and schools without the full range of facilities one would normally expect in a modern society, but also there is a total lack of any provision of youth services. This is in stark contrast to the range of facilities offered to the youth of Orihuela city where the youngsters can visit the Concejalía de Juventud and receive a full range of services.

If just a small proportion of the extravagant fee paid to David Bustamante for one night of free music had been diverted to the coast it could have paid for at least two full time youth workers with change

left over. However, as most Orihuela Costa residents are aware there is no youth centre or even one proposed for this area. A purpose built youth centre on the coast is an idea but there is no reason why the Civic Centre couldn’t be opened of an evening to provide a suitable venue. The Civic Centre stands empty every evening and holiday period so there would be no conflict over usage with other groups currently using this building. The excuses that the centre needs council employees to open would be invalid if the youth workers were employed by the council.

Most small towns and villages making up the Orihuela municipality have youth clubs and services for their young people, but the coast with a population of over 30,000 has again been totally neglected by the politicians living 30 kilometres away in Orihuela City.

Until Orihuela Costa has a sufficient number of elected representatives from this area the needs of all sections of the coastal community will continue to be ignored by politicians based 30 kilometres away. All residents of Orihuela Costa need to ensure that they are registered to vote in local elections and ensure that they cast their votes at election time. The residents of the Costa can make a difference to local politics and ensure that this region gains the services that enjoyed by residents living in Orihuela.

It would seem that Orihuela Councillors are also choosing to ignore the Costa’s youth

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 Last weekend the city of Orihuela received a visit from a group of journalists from Polish television who were in the area making a programme about historical buildings, monuments and places of major interest. They were accompanied throughout their trip by a representative from the Department of Tourism.

Whilst in the city the reporters were taken to the college Santo Domingo, past Rincón Hernandiano and the Cathedral del Salvador, finishing their journey at la Iglesia de Santas Justas y Rufina. The group has been touring the Province of Alicante for the last ten days during which time they have sampled the Mediterranean culture in its entirety, from gastronomy, festivals, natural beauty and, in the case of Orihuela, its great historical and cultural heritage. The footage they have gathered will be edited into several reports to be used throughout Poland on tele-

Local police from Orihuela have filed complaints against five businesses that were using unregistered, illegal software on a total of 52 computers in the establishments. All of the businesses were operating as “internet cafes”, where members of the public could subscribe for a short length of time to use the computers for accessing the internet, email and social networks, amongst other things.

The Orihuela council has rejected a notion for the controversial pedestrianisation of the Los Andenes area of the city, a plan proposed by the deputy Mayor, Antonia Moreno, for which she has criticised the move, claiming that the opposition are preventing the development without even “asking about the project” or the subsequent benefits.

A motion filed by an opposition group in the plenary meeting that urged the suspension of the demolition of the Plaza de Toros, as previously announced by the Councillor for Infrastructure, Antonio Zapata, was supported by the opposition parties and non-affiliated councillors, however, the government team say that the demolition of the bullring is a “priority”, because it is now in a dilapidated state following years of neglect, and poses a safety hazard for citizens.

Spanish sports retailer Sprinter has launched a recruitment campaign for their new store located on the Orihuela Costa.

Particularly looking to attract younger, sporty recruits who live in the local area, with knowledge of customer service and sporting equipment, the job adverts expressly state that a medium to high level of English will be required.

The Department of Infrastructure has started work on the pedestrianisation of la Plaza de la Salud, in front of the main entrance to la Biblioteca Municipal María Moliner. The work has been outstanding since the building was first opened and will be carried out at a cost of 28,224.46 euros. It will consist of the replacement of the pavements in the entire paved area which currently connects the square with the pedestrian passage on the site of the former Rabaloche Health Center.

The first phase of the renovations involve replacing the fixtures, improving the gardens by planting roses, jacaranda and bougainvillea, the removal of the concrete beams of the pergola and placement of trees in front of the front door to create a shaded area.

vision, radio and internet portals.

Having faced complaints and criticisms from the former councillor for the coast, Pedro Mancebo, the current councillor, Martina Scheurer, has confirmed that the contract for life saving services on the coast was correctly administered and awarded. Mancebo alleged that the two companies who were awarded the separate contracts for beach life guards and ambulances shared the same tax information, and were therefore the same company. Scheurer has shown documents showing that both companies are unique in both name and tax data, and are therefore different. The allegation that they also shared the same businesses address was dismissed as irrelevant, as that is often the case with other businesses operating from shared premises anyway, but the contracts were both awarded using the existing legal

TWO HUNDRED EURO FINE FOR SIX YEAR OLD BOY A six year old child has been issued with a 200 euro fine by the Guardia Civil, for failing to stop at a stop line, whilst riding his pushbike. The boy was out riding his bike, along with his father, in a town in Burgos, returning home when they were entering onto the BU-562 main road.

The Guardia Civil stopped the riders, stating that the boy had failed to stop at the stop sign, and, in passing the junction, would have forced other vehicles to slow down. The boy´s father admits that the child´s bike did cross the line, but states that he did stop just beyond the perimeter. Having paid the fine promptly, the fine was only half of that sanctioned, but the father intends appealing the ticket, for “various reasons”, including the fact that there are “several formal errors”. If he wins, he gets his money back, if he doesn´t, he will have to pay the entire penalty and the costs of prosecution. Either way, hopefully the child has learnt a lesson in road safety and the need to stop when road marking tell you to.

LÍNEA DIRECTA ADVISES YOU HOW TO ACT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT

Línea Directa Directa Insurance advises you of the steps to follow in case of a road road accident in Spain.

Call the emergency number: 112. They will co-ordinate the procedure and will ask you in detail about the circumstances of the accident.

Remain calm at all times. Switch on the emergency lights and if the state of the vehicle permits, remove the vehicle from the road, in order to avoid delays and further accidents, to the extent possible.

Signal the accident location. Before stepping out of the car, put on your high-visibility jacket, which is compulsory, and place the emergency triangles correctly. The first must be placed about 50 metres behind the car in the direction of the traffic, and the second about 100m.

If someone is seriously injured, never try to move them, except if in danger of fire or imminent explosion. Cover the injured person, keep them calm and wait for the emergency services to arrive.

If the circumstances of the location allow, always fill in the European accident report, which is an essential document for speeding up the procedures and handling between the insurance companies. If you have any doubt about how to do this, don’t hesitate to call your insurance company.

BUDDHA TANDOORI STANDS THE TEST OF TIME AND TASTE Buddha Tandoori has just celebrated its 7th anniversary after opening in 2006.This success story is reflected in the great venue Buddha Tandoori which is set in the heart of the community and happy customers with great quality food and value for money for their dining experience.

The Buddha Tandoori, an Indian restaurant with a Nepalese slant. It prides itself n cooking everything from fresh – using the best fresh ingredients available to bring you the best taste and flavours. Walk through the door at Buddha Tandoori and you will be transported back to early 70’s Britain. This is not a flashy nouveau eatery, it has that bygone charm. Chef Khem, who has been there from the very beginning, has created something special here but it’s not in the decor.

There are so many different dishes to try and enjoy Nepalese cooking at it’s best.

The starters consisted of Onion Bhaji, Chicken Tikka, Cauliflower, Chicken Pakora and Sheesh kebab, Samosas, Chicken Puri –the list is endless and I have never seen so many different types of soup – from shrimp to tomato – the choice will suit all of your friends and family needs.

On to the mains, the choice here is huge. Buddha Tandoori prides itself on the House Specialities – dishes that you will not find anywhere else on the Costa Blanca and will take you mind away to far Eastern shores. Lumbini Lamb Sekuwa – lamb marinated with yoghurt, garlic, ginger and Nepali herbs – cooked in a clay oven – Kathmandu Chicken – a traditional dish of chicken cooked in a thick sauce minced meat and egg – Himalaya Ross – lamb and chicken Tikka cooked with tomato, nuts and gravy. Dishes that I have never seen before yet cannot way to try. Venture further into the menuand you will find Karahi Dishes cooked with fresh garlic, ginger, peppers, coriander seed and onions or Bhuna Dishes. For the less adventurous they are the traditional Indian classics and each dish is cooked to your personal liking

so if you want it really hot – really hot it will be – and if you are like me –a mild girl – then mild it will be.

As accompaniments there is; aloo gobi, mushroom bhaji, plain pilau rice and a cheese naan. Your taste buds are in for a treat!

And then there are Indian desserts. Not a very varied choice and refreshingly none of the packaged desserts found elsewhere were on offer. There are selected homemade Indian ice cream, mango and pistachio served with dried fruit. Indian ice cream is obviously an acquired taste, one that is worth trying.

So if you just want to sample Buddah Tandoori and not break the bank then try their set menus Lunch Menu is just 8.50 Euro for 2 courses plus rice or Naan and a drink or in the evening.

I define a good Indian meal by the various flavours I can detect and the balance the chef has achieved by bringing them together. This is a very good Indian Restaurant, one chef Khem should be proud of.Dinner Menu at just 11 Euro.

If you haven´t tried it yet, you are really missing out.

Just pop along to Via Park II, Local 5, Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa, or give them a ring on 966 730 759, and let yourself be transported off to another world of delight and delicacy for your taste buds and your pocket.

The General Hospital of Alicante has welcomed an additional compliment of 150 staff to the nursing department this week, all to assist in the anticipated increase in admissions during the summer period.

There are nurses, assistants, therapists and lab specialists all included in the group, all of whom are taking part in training in the centre to enable a smooth transition into the working practices.

A group of expert ophthalmologists from the Torrevieja and Vinalopó hospitals performed live retina surgery to a conference attended by around 100 delegates, to showcase the latest surgical procedures in treating patients with eye diseases. A total of six different procedures were demonstrated, after which the surgeons were available to answer questions about the techniques in this pioneering scheme. For cataract surgery alone, during 2012 about 2,000 patients were treated in Torrevieja and more than 1,700 in Vinalopó. These figures highlight the efforts of both teams to improve the accessibility of this life changing surgery to patients.

The San Miguel Residents Association, "San Miguel Archangel", has once again expressed it’s displeasure at the lack of key medical staff employed in the local health centre. This time their anger is aimed at a further reduction in the number of doctors at working at the centre.

The Association claims that each doctor now supports upwards of 3,300 patients, specifically since the number of practitioners was reduced from 4 to 3 four months ago. Without any notice of or explanation for the reduction they say the figure that each doctor is now sustaining is more than double that of the national average.

But it would seem that the importance of the situation is lost on the Councillor for Health who continues to ignore the Association’s appeal. As such "San Miguel Archangel" has now gone over his head and written directly to the mayor.

In their letter they say that they have lost confidence in the councilor who they feel is doing nothing toward justifying his enormous salary. A spokesman said that as he is not prepared to talk with the Association at this time there can be no justification in paying his monthly salary.

PROTECTING YOUR EYES FRO M THE SUN On 21st June, Louise Stone from Specsavers Opticas in Calpe gave an interesting and informative presentation about the effects of the sun on our eyes at Calpe’s Casa del Cultura, in this article she summarises the main points to help our readers to protect themselves.

“Optometrists have long known that ultraviolet (UV) light radiation can damage the eyes and cause both temporary and permanent vision loss, yet 23% of people never wear eye protection and in recent research it was found that only 6% of Americans knew they needed to protect the eyes from UV damage. Due to this lack of knowledge and the increase in sunbathing these conditions continue to increase in prevalence.

Bright light activates the constriction of the pupil and the squinting reflex to minimize the penetration of the sun’s rays into the eye.

However, the effectiveness of these natural defences in protecting against the dangers of UV radiation is limited under extreme conditions such as strong ground reflection from sand, water and snow.

UV blocking eye protection is crucial to prevent long-term harm and the development of the following ocular diseases: Cataracts Macular degeneration Eyelid skin cancer Pinguecula - small, yellowish, slightly raised lesions that form on the surface of the white part of the eye. They can cause irritation, a feeling that there is something in the eye, and dry eyes.

Pterygium - scar tissue that can grow over the surface of the eye

and impair the vision.

Photokeratitis— an inflammation of the cornea due to UV exposure, comparable to sunburn of the very sensitive skin of the eye lids and tissues of the cornea.

Although the skin is exposed to the most light between10.00-14.00, eyes are most at risk when the light hits at an angle, typically between 08.00-10.00 and 14.00-16.00. My advice would be to use photochromic lenses, polarized lenses, sunglasses and tinted lenses which block 100% of ultraviolet A and B radiation at all times of the year and day.”

Specsavers Opticas offer a free service to test the UV protection that your sunglasses offer so you can make sure you are protected, your nearest store can be found at www.specsavers.es.

This week, Torrevieja has revealed that crime figures have fallen during the first quarter of this year, this despite the problems the Local Police were facing in terms of working conditions, staff number reductions and conflicts with the councillor responsible for them, resulting in times when there were no police officers actually patrolling the streets, according to the unions.

The political and administrative matters may well have been resolved, with the appointment of a new councillor to take on these responsibilities, a factor which a number of people have already identified as positive, with the obvious reduction in police vehicles parked at the local station, which they assume now are actually patrolling the streets.

A 13.3% overall reduction in crime over last year was recorded in Torrevieja, the biggest drop being a 62.1% reduction in vehicle crime, as well as a 24.35% reduction in the number of reported burglaries.

The Spanish government has launched a campaign this week to raise awareness of the importance of self protection and vigilance, specifically targeting properties that may be left vacant during the summer months. The centrepiece of the campaign is an educational video that explains basic home safety and security tips, and is available both on the web at www.micasaasalvo.es as and the Ministry of the Interior´s own YouTube channel.

Although the police are there to detect crime and brings those responsible to justice, as the government campaign suggests, much of the

responsibility of crime prevention lays directly with us. We all know the obvious rules of not leaving valuables on show in the car, on the back seat or in homes, not leaving doors and windows open, thus inviting criminals in. The biggest threat to criminals is vigilance and defence, but as the summer comes round again, so might the wave of opportunistic criminals who prey on the vulnerable and innocent, whose guard may have slipped for just a moment, allowing them to swoop in and attack, with just a fleeting moment.

For information and advice on crime prevention, the Neighbourhood Watch in Spain has a wealth of resources available, and act as a direct link between police forces, town halls and citizens to help prevent and report crime. They have a website, which is www.nhwinspain.com, and can offer assistance at a local level.

FIGHTING CRIME TOGETHER with access to a car, a van and two motorcycles. Their work will be limited to specific areas of the city where conflict is known to exist such as Rabaloche, Capuchins, San Isidro and San Anton, but the mayor said that they are able to be moved to other districts should the need arise. All 13 of the group members are volunteers.

‘SWINGING PROPOSITION’

CANT STOP PINING FOR A BABY After eight years of trying for a baby my husband says he’s had enough. I’ve got blocked fallopian tubes so our only hope was IVF but after three failed attempts, my husband says he can’t face any more. I know we’re in debt and it’s very stressful but I want to take out another loan and keep going until I get pregnant. I’m desperate to be a mum and I don’t think life is worth living without children. How can I make my husband see that?

Tracey, As you’ve discovered, IVF can be a very long and soul destroying process. The only person qualified to tell you whether its time to give up or not is your doctor. I can fully understand that you don’t want to give up hope but your husband may have a point in terms of your finances. Even if the treatment did

‘I want him out’

My 25-year-old son moved in with me when he split up with his girlfriend but six months later, he’s still here and has shown no sign of moving. I only live in a one-bedroom flat and I’m fed up of him sleeping on the settee. I thought it was a temporary measure until he sorted himself out but even though I’ve asked him to leave several times, he doesn’t seem to get the message. I don’t want to see him on the streets but I want my flat back. What can I do?

succeed, would you be able to afford to raise the child? You’ve got to try to separate the emotions and the harsh realities of your situation but that doesn’t necessarily mean throwing in the towel!

There are a number of other options that may well suit you, for example adoption and fostering can be immensely rewarding for childless couples like you two. Speak to your doctor and listen to what he has to say rather than blindly chasing a dream which may well be impossible to achieve. At this stage in the game, its best to put your marriage first and re-evaluate your options. Good luck. and will continue to do so for as long as you let him get away with it! Of course you want to help him out in every way possible, that’s only natural but what’s going on right now isn’t helping either of you. Try talking to him again and explaining that although you love him dearly, he’s making your life a misery and that he needs to start looking for a place of his own. For whatever reason, you’ve both just slipped into a rut and once he realises that, hopefully, he’ll get off his backside and stop using you and your home so selfishly.

Ultimately, you’ll have to be firm and if gentle persuasion doesn’t work, you may have lay down the law and set a deadline for your son to move out. As I said before, at the end of the day, you will be doing him a favour even if he doesn’t see it that way.

My husband and I went to one of his colleague’s houses for dinner the other night.

When we were there the couple kept talking quite graphically about their sex life which was making me feel really uncomfortable.

Then, just as we had finished the meal, they suggested going to a swinging party. I was totally shocked and just laughed it off.

Since then though I haven’t discussed it with my husband and I’m worried that he put them up to it. I hate the idea of swinging, but perhaps I should consider it for my husband.

Jocelyn Why should you do something you don’t want to Jocelyn? I’ve never truly understood swinging and I know its not something that interest me at all! Of course I accept that everybody has their own preference but in this case, its crystal clear that you’re not into it isn’t it? I’m slightly worried by the fact that you’ve not had the conversation with your husband.

For all you know, he may be just as shocked as you but you’ll never know that until you speak to him will you? I’m constantly amazed by couples who simply don’t talk – even when there are real issues to sort out! Sit your husband down and explain exactly how you feel about what was said that night.Stick to your guns sweetheart and, whatever you do, please, please please, forget about just “doing this” for your husbands sake. Trust your own judgement and treat yourself with a little more respect and then hopefully, your old man will do the same!

PRISON FOR DOG KILLER The Criminal Court in Madrid sentenced a man to three months in prison, after he was found guilty of crimes against animal welfare for a case in which he killed his dog by kicking the animal, the first case of its kind in Spain.

On the 5th of June, 2008, six month old dog, “Chula”, was seen to urinate and defecate on the floor in the home owned by the accused. It is then alleged that the dog was kicked by the man, which was witnessed by his girlfriend.

The girlfriend then noticed that the dog appeared unwell, and was falling into a rapidly deteriorating state, which prompted her to seek immediate medical assistance by taking the dog to the nearest vet.

Upon arrival at the surgery, the vet asked what had happened, to which the woman explained what she had witnessed and the preceding events.

The vet managed to stabilize Chula, and then referred the dog immediately to another clinic with more resources for emergency surgery, but due to the severity of the injury, the dog died of a traumatic hepatic rupture.

A representative from the El Refugio group, who coordinated the case, demanded a sentence of one year in prison for the alleged perpetrator, for the crime of animal abuse.

Nacho Paunero, the President of El Refugio, said, “The wait has been long, but it was well worth it. It

Nacho Paunero of El Refugio is the first time that the Spanish courts judge a person for an alleged crime of animal abuse, thanks to two veterinary surgeons statements. It is a huge source of joy for all who are dedicated to defending and protecting the rights of animals. It is imperative that each person who is a witness in a case of abuse denounce it or contact us to help curb this social evil of animal abuse in our country”.

The group is involved in nearly 100 criminal, civil and administrative cases in different regions relating to animal abuse.

ROJALES TOWN HALL SUPPORTS EHCRC FOUNDATION ROJALES Town Hall has announced it's full support to the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre Foundation (EHCRC) saying by working together they could boost local tourism.

The Mayor of Rojales, Antonio Perez García, accompanied by fellow councillors recently took up an invitation to visit the EHCRC. So impressed with the work they do, meetings have since been held between the Town Hall, the rescue centre and the three main hotels in the area to be able to offer tourism packages for the ever increasing number of people enquiring about volunteering holidays and visits to the centre. Derek Monks, councillor for Foreign Residents said the Town Hall was looking forward to a strong working relationship with the centre: “Sue and Rod have so much vision about conservation of the countryside and there is a lot of potential to attract more people and tourism. With 856 people unemployed in the municipality we are keen to look at new ways to increase tourism and jobs.”

Councillor for Tourism, Marie Pierre Dubois added: “Educating younger generations about animal welfare is also very important.”

Tatiana canizares councillor for education and

libraries has translated their leaflet into Spanish and these are now available in local town halls and tourist information offices.

Sue said: “We were honoured to have the Mayor and his team visit and we have a wonderful working relationship with the council and look forward to exciting projects ahead.”

The Rescue Centre is open to the public every Sunday from 1300 till 1700. There is tasty hot food, cakes and refreshments available together with their very popular horse tours.

ROCKET’S GOLF SOCIETY EL PLANTIO GOLF MEDALFORD Rocket’s Golf Society was “launched” last week at El Plantio and it was back there for a “normal” day at the golf office, I say normal with my tongues in my cheek as we played a Medalford competition, which did confuse a few.

This is Medal for the front 9 and Stableford for the back 9 hence Medalford - Subtracting the back nine points from the nett front nine to get your score, the lowest score wins.

One of our members went a little bit ‘wild’ in search of his ball in the lake on the third fairway, he has now put in a request for crampons to be supplied, to aid in climbing back up.

Another act of bravery and kindness from two members when a duck was spotted with a plastic loop trapping its beak closed, it was caught and the plastic cut off allowing the duck to be able to feed. Nice one!

Arthur and Robert. Who said golfer’s did not have hearts?

The results were: GOLD CATEGORY 1st Merv Williams Nett 17 2nd Les Yates 22 3rd Ron Chambers 22.5 4th Ivie Davies 23 5th Arthur Williams 25

SILVER CATEGORY 1st Rocket Ron Nett 18 2nd Ken Hopkins 24 3rd Malcolm Woods 24.5 4th Peter Nicholls 27 5th Geoff Wild 40.5

Nearest The Pins: 7th: Merv Williams. 9th: Chris Johnson. 18th: Peter Nicholls Longest Drive Hole 12. Ivie Davies Before the presentations Ron “Rocket” thanked all the members for the surprise last Tuesday and admitted he was gob smacked and was over whelmed with the new logo but did not understand how forty men could hold a secret for so long (well they are married!!)

The next game is at Vistabella Golf, 9th July - First Tee 09:00, please be at the course by 08:15 followed by Alenda Golf on the 23nd July First Tee 10:00, please be there at 09:15

LO CRISPIN GOLF SOCIETY Roda Golf Club - 26.06.13 Roda Golf course is always a popular venue and so it proved today, there was supposed to be 48 of us playing but in the end there were only 46, but nonetheless it was our biggest turnout of the year.

Unusually there was a ladies fourball much appreciated and enjoyed by them all. It took some time to get everyone off successfully and also to retrieve the cards at the end of the day with some people still taking their cards back to the Tavern instead of handing them in at the course. The course with its wide open spaces looked good with obvious signs of improvement all around, but with all the space why do you end up in the long grass or behind a palm tree or worse still in the water was the comment from one player. At the end of the day there was much hilarity and stories banded around in the Lo Crispin Tavern on our return, another enjoyable day of golf. The ones who enjoyed it the best were: Gold Division: 1st Alan Watson 39pts, 2nd Phil Rhodes 34pts and 3rd Martin Collins 31pts Silver Division: 1st Paul Flanaghan 36pts, 2nd Mark Good 34pts and 3rd Gordon Cobb 32pts Bronze Division:1st Margaret O'Brien 27pts (c/b), 2nd Chris Nield 27pts and 3rd Damien Elliot 25pts. Commiserations DD. The Best Guest Prize was won by Gerry Gander 35pts.

NTPs will be announced later as the markers are still at Roda, there were no twos so mucho dinero to play for at Peraleja.

The free game draw was won by Steve Harrington.

So Guys and Gals get your glad rags packed we are off to Lorca on the 10th of July for our annual trip, followed closely by Peraleja and the Summer Cup at Alicante. Catch our website for information http://sites.google.com/site/locrispingolf/

CLAPTONS GOLF SOCIETY SAURINES DE LA TORRE This month’s competition was held amongst the sand and the fairway hillocks of Saurines. As usual before setting out the course looked in excellent condition. Many feel that the course works against the bigger hitters but nevertheless the directions are clearly shown and therefore it is a bigger test of golf by club selection. So on a clear sunny day, with the temperature at a reasonable level, we set off from the first tee. As the members of the society crisscrossed this difficult course together, it was apparent that some good scores would be there at the end of the day. Having finished our round we decided to make for the bar so that the non drivers could have a beer before we left and the drivers could have soft drinks. Many thanks to the greenkeeping staff for keeping the course in such excellent condition. Having reached the Club House and gone through the cards the early predictions were true as you can see from the results below. We then made the presentations to the winners of each section and afterwards had an excellent meal laid on by Chris. Many thanks to Chris and his staff for their hospitality.

Overall Winner Chris (El Bandido)Gridley 41 pts Gold Winner Mark Pollitt 39 pts, Gold Runner Up Andy Trefry 36 pts Silver Winner Rick Drake 36 pts Silver Runner Up Terry Smith 34 points Best Front Nine Ian Ralph 20 pts, Back Nine Mick O’Grady 18 pts Nearest the Pin: 6th Alastair Ralph, 10th Barry Shearman, 14th Paul Burletson, 18th Andy Trefry Best Guest: Tony Simmons 34 points, Most Potential: Bob Eaton Next meeting is Captain’s Day at Bonalba on 19th July.

PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU ARE TAKING YOUR WIFE OR PARTNER YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MEAL AT THE SAME TIME AS PAYING FOR YOUR MEAL AND GREENFEE.

CLARKE’S BAR GOLF SOCIETY - FONT DEL LLOP This week we ventured to Font del Llop to play this relatively new course. We arrived on a sunny warm day with a gentle breeze taking the edge off the temperature to find the course in fantastic condition with lush fairways and excellent greens that proved tricky to read.

Unfortunately as the round progressed the breeze got stronger until on starting the back 9 it was causing problems for everyone resulting in lower than average scores on the day. The results are as follows:

Nearest the pin on hole 12 : Brian Murphy Nearest the pin on hole 16 : James Campbell Nearest the pin in 2 on hole 7 : Tommy Clarke Longest drive on hole 9 : Stewart Coleman Winner with 35 points Bernard Ball Runner up with 31 points Charlie Rodgers.

Next Week we are back at Peraleja meet at Clarkes Bar at 08:00.

SAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY AT LA FINCA La Finca course, close to the town of Algorfa, is the longest of the three Quara courses at just over 6,000 mts off the yellow blocks.

It’s a layout that most members of San Miguel Golf Society are well used to with our regular monthly visits going back over quite a long period.

Our June trip to this popular venue saw the usual morning breeze across the open terrain strengthening up in the afternoon giving a definite advantage to the day’s early starters.

Nearly forty members and guests enjoyed both the good scoring conditions and the first class presentation of the course with the recently dressed greens virtually back to their full glory. My own tally of 20 points on the front nine was a pretty good indicator that quite a few high scores may well get recorded.

The blustery wind made the 16th and 17th even more tricky than they usually are and certainly helped to obliterate my card along with any chance I may have had at creeping into the prize places……but I’m pleased to say that wasn’t the case for the better half!

A blistering 22 points on Marg’s first nine was followed by a rock steady 20 on the second half, even in the gusting conditions she held her game together to finish with her highest score for a very long time.

In a typical wifely way it wasn’t the tremendous chance she had of winning the day that excited her wicked emotions..…it was the quick bit of mental arithmetic where she’d calculated her soon to be new handicap!

Arriving into the clubhouse, in the time it took me to pay a quick visit, the whole ensemble had been informed that Marg would now be playing off an actual handicap LOWER than hubbie!

Well, far from being a chauvinistic male golfer, I, for one, am proud

‘MIKE PROBERT TALKS GOLF Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services.

Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions.

PREPARING TO PLAY SUMMER GOLF To play good summer golf you need to eat and drink correctly before and during the round. Before any round of golf it is essential that you have a good breakfast with carbohydrates and protein to provide sufficient energy for the day.

Avoid at all costs drinking coffee or cola because they contain caffeine, which is a stimulant and will give you a short term energy burst from which you will ‘come down’ after a few holes. In preparation for you competitive round your mind and body will already be in a high state of awareness and anxiety and you don’t need anything that increases these levels further. It makes it harder to be consistent in both your swing and your thinking. Instead drink plenty of water both before you get to the course and once you have started to play because it helps you to digest your breakfast and hydrate your muscles.

This is particularly important here on the Costa’s where temperature and humidity levels can be extremely high and on the course you don’t want to get thirsty because thirst is the last sign of de-hydration, not the first, You should avoid de-hydration at all costs because it causes energy loss and tiredness but also makes it difficult to focus and concentrate on the job in hand.

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.

The deals shown in the table are some of the best currently available to you. There are also a host of twilight deals available from as little as €28 per person.

ALFIES GOLF SOCIETY AT LA FINCA 29 members and 3 guests set out for La Finca GC on Thursday, 27 June for our regular monthly meeting. No oppressive heat and a light breeze = perfecto conditions for golf. The course whenever I have played here has always been in excellent condition, and today was no exception, although the greens were a little on the slow side which should always be expected after any hollow tining work has been carried out.

Onto the competition, and not surprisingly scoring was good, with many players registering 30 stableford points or more. Nearest the pins on holes 3 & 13 were won by Bob Young and Brian Brown, with the longest drive on hole 11 claimed by Joe Murphy. Nigel Dunford won the best guest prize - 15 Top-Flite golf balls donated by another of our guests, Peter Doyle. Nigel scored 37 on his first visit to La Finca, and I'll bet he can't wait to play there again.

Mike Smith with 40 points was placed second, but the winner (for the 3rd time this year) with an excellent score of 42 was Ian Connell.

Ian's the man to beat this year and it’s up to the rest of us to up our game and give him a challenge.

The usual thanks to Anita from Alfie's bar for the post match refreshments and buffet, and to Mike Probert, Costa Blanca Green Fee Services for arranging the golf. Next month’s meeting is at Saurines de la Torre on Thursday, 25 July, and as per usual the list is filling quickly. Contact Sandie (alfiesgolfsociety@gmail.com) or myself at Alfie’s Bar, La Ronda should you wish to play.

THE CELTS GOLF CLUB Congratulations to our team who entered the triangular seniors’ tournament, which was run by the Federacion Golf de la Comunidad Valenciana. The competition format was a better ball four ball with a team of four. The competition was played at Villaitana in February, La Galiana in April and the final game was contested at Club de golf Mediterraneo in June. At each venue there were prizes for the best handicap and best scratch scores of the two pairs combined. The champions of the Valenciana Comunidad were decided on an aggregate of the scores from the three venues. As the competition was run under the auspices of the federation the green fee was very competitively priced at 18 Euros per person per course.

At the last venue the federation provided all the players with a very tasty three course lunch including drinks. So with our appetites satisfied we waited to hear the results. With the final scores tallied The Celts had the honour of winning the scratch competitions in Villaitana and Club de golf Mediterraneo and the overall scratch prize for the triangular tournament. As the team members received their prizes they were treated to a rapturous applause on their excellent achievements from their predominantly Spanish fellow competitors. Congratulations to the team which included Denis McCormack, Camillus Fitzpatrick, Shay Cunningham, Terry Lewis and John O’Brien.

An early Sunday morning event, one of a series of “Arena” (Beach) runs, included Paul Bell (VM 64) & John Pascoe (VM 80) among the near 200 entrants starting from El Camping Internacional Holiday Centre, La Marina.

Paul came 7th. in his category, Veterano “F” with a time of 45:20, which was an unusually poor result for him. John managed a win in Vet. “G” (Over 65) finishing in 44:25, a good result considering the unfamiliar nature of the underfoot conditions.

SAILING ASSOCIATION MAR MENOR (SAMM) The penultimate race day of the spring series with the emphasis on sunshine and sufficient wind to make for some interesting sailing.

The morning race saw seven boats, three cruisers and four dinghies with 18 helms and crews sign on.

There were four visitors enjoying the mar menor in particular two very novice young ladies who had arrived in Spain at 10.00 a.m. and in less that two hours found themselves donning life jackets to crew in the Shoestring Uno. They stayed for the afternoon race and were delighted to be in a boat that managed third position in both races.

Tug Wilson and Vernon O’Byrne once again were first over the finishing line, completing the course in a little over 40 minutes, but had to settle for a second as Bob Miles in Connie quick to notice a sub-

ABBEY ANGLING

CARP-R-US NEWS.

By Terry Screen On the 25th June we fished the 3rd round of the Summer Series on a new stretch of water we have found, which at present needs some work doing on it to make new pegs etc.

There are large fish in there and quite a few anglers got broken, one angler even managed to break his pole on a fish.

It is a water that you will either love or hate, and there was lots of moans and groans on the bank, but surprisingly quite a few of them said at the end of the match they would like to go back there and try the water again. The preferred method on the day was the pole using bread and corn as the bait.

1st Stan (The Man) Roberts with 9.390kg 2nd Mick (The Arsenal) Hill with 5.110kg 3rd Bill (The Master) Reade with 4.010kg All fishing the Pole using bread and corn This is not a stretch of water for the faint hearted.

As the captain of the Abbey Angling Team I would like to thank all the lads for there support that made up the winning team for The Gary Smith Team Challenge Cup After six matches the final result was Abbey Angling Team 10 points, Rods & Reels Team 8 points.

All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

This week saw the Club fishing at the Embalse del Argos, near to the town of Calasparra in Murcia. It was a glorious day, with the temperatures in the low 80's F with a south easterly breeze.

Winner on the day with a weight of 21.74kg was Barry Homer using pellets, in second place was Dennis Pick with 17.00kg, using pellets, third was John Brightling with 10.60kg using pellets and punched bread and in fourth spot was Pete Kerr with 8.94kg.

The match next Thursday, 4th July, the match will be held on the Eden canal. Peg draw at 8.00 on the bank.

Thanks to all the Clubs contributing, there are now more swims available. The clearing of the swims is going well.

The next meeting will be on Sunday July 7th, with the Committee meeting at 10.00, followed by the General meeting at 11.00.

The next Quiz night is on Tuesday July 9th commencing at 7.30. This event costs 1€ per person to attend and teams of 6 or less can take part. There will be a game of snowball bingo played during the evening.

The clubs home is the Bar El Alto La Dolores, which is on the N332 between Guardamar and La Mata near the Repsol garage.

Anyone interested in joining this Angling and Social Club, can telephone 966 717 923 or visit the Club website www.carprus.net

stantial shift in wind direction made the windward mark with few tacks, setting him up for a first after handicaps were applied.

Don Clark, was crewing this week but still managed to find himself in the water, which played out to a sixth position.

In the afternoon the wind speed increased and once again although Tug and Vernon were first over the finish line Connie made it a clean sweep.

Bob Miles with his crew members Carole Sibsen and Rob Hudson pose for the camera.

Although the spring race season is coming to a close, SAMM continues to sail all through the year and welcomes new members. There are different types of craft in different groups, if you enjoy sailing, check the website www.sailingmarmenor.com

On the 22nd & 23rd June a Tournament was held at San Luis Bowls Club to help June Jones travel to Christchurch, New Zealand, to represent Spain in the World Singles Champion of Champions taking place 20th November to 1st December. 24 teams of 4 players participated over the two days playing in 4 groups each of 6 teams on a knock out basis. The winner of each group then played in a semi final - Lyn Bishop, Jenny Chaplin, Dave Chaplin & Eric Bishop (Country Bowls) played Shirley Verity, Noel Verity, Sabrina Marks & Russell Marks (San Miguel) - the winner being Russell Marks' team. Whilst the other semi final was between - Jo Close, Dave Close, Jim Mulloy & Renata Mulloy (Emerald Isle) against Lisa Bonsor, Peta Rhodes, Bill Pain & Peter Bonsor (Quesada) - the winner being Peter Bonsor's team.

The final of Russell Marks against Peter Bonsor saw some excellent bowling with Peter Bonsor and his team coming from 5-1 down to win 10-5.

The proceeds from the 2 days, including a big raffle and sale of muffins (Suzi Cooper), has gone a long way to financing the airfare for this trip. I am sure everyone appreciated and enjoyed the free melon slices supplied by Jean Hepehi. A special thanks to Vic Slater of Casa Ventura for the use of his green at no cost. A big thank you to all those who donated prizes to the raffle including: Casa Ventura, CS Bowls, Cunningham Nurses, Davids Coachtrips, Gran China (La Siesta), Half Way House (Quesada), Kameeleon and Sunshine Trophies. Tracey, from Cunningham Nurses, gave a short talk on the facilities offered by the Organisation.

Thank you ALL once again for what I hope for you was an enjoyable weekend and for your best wishes and support - it was greatly appreciated - June.

Good luck to Russell Marks for his Tournament in August to support his trip to New Zealand as he he too is taking part in the World Single Champion of Champions.

By Steve Hibberd Big wins for our Kings cup and SABA Spitfire league teams last week, but alas, our Premier 20 side took a bit of a thumping!

A double bubble awaited Monarchs in the Kings cup, starting on Mon with a visit to Emerald Isles. Wins for both Sandra Heath & Brian Miller in the singles, was emulated by Sue Mahomet, Steve Hibberd, Barry Collins (trips), and Fred Tilley, Mike Veale, Lynn Greenland, Steve Cantley (rinks). An exciting pairs match involving Cas Thomas & Brian Pocock, resulted in a draw, meaning the overall score was a very impressive 1-11 to Greenlands. Fast forward 48 hours, and they were at it again! This time it was a home match against a strong San Miguel Sherriffs outfit. Not surprisingly, the team that had performed so well at EI, remained unchanged, a very astute decision by the selectors as it transpired. SH again won her singles (21-11), whilst BM held his nerve to win his (21-19). CT & BP produced a great 25-11 pairs victory, maintaining their great record in this competition. The trips team of SM, SH & BC were at one time 30-3 up, but eventually triumphed 30-9, leaving rinks specialists FT, MV, LG & SC to complete the rout. as they cruised home 23-9. So, this 12-0 result saw the Monarchs yield a massive 23 points in a week, lifting them to a respectable mid table position. An all lady Princess cup team just failed to collect points, losing by only 6 shots.

Sandwiched between the Kings cup was a Prem 20 match. High flying Vistabella proved too strong, as they romped to a 16-2 victory, with only the away trips team of Tony Sambrook, Bill Sims & Marilyn fryatt (18-8) scoring points.

In the penultimate week of SABAs Spitfire league, both Glosters and Gladiators were victorious - an achievement never before accomplished this season. Glosters put in their best performance of the season against an experienced San Luis Wellington setup, thoroughly deserving an 8-6 success. Well done: Margaret Dewar, Mary Lockley, Jill Parker 20-16. Phil Lockley, Mike Veale, Chris Dewar 15-12. Fred Tilley, Alan Brown, Jack Redfern 17-15. Jean Thompson, Dave Thompson, Dave Webb 21-20. Emerald Isles was the venue for Gladiators, where they played exceptionally well to beat Victors 3-11.

Congrats: Jill Collins, Cas Thomas, Vic Mahomet 21-19. Tony French, Sheila Stead, Dave O'Sullivan 18-16. Jeannie Clements, Sue Mahomet, Angie Goodfellow 24-14. Marina Beardsall, Bill Sims, Mel Brown 25-10. Brian Tomlin, Glyn Inwood, Barry Collins 17-17.

POW READY TO STEP UP TO THE MARK Ricky Pow is eager to show his fans just how much he has improved since making the decision to move back to his native Daya Nueva home from the Bristol Boxing Club where he had been working and traing for the last two years.

Having made the decision to train full time the 26 year old could no longer afford the expense of ‘accomodation’ in Bristol and so a move back to his family residence in Torrevieja seemed to be a sensible decision.

Without the income from his employment as a boxing instructor at the Bristol Club the luxury of his own pad’ just had to go as he now concentrates on making a success of a full time boxing career.

next Saturday evening.

The Latvian number one is rated in Europe’s top fifty so a win on Saturday will propel Ricky to a number where promoters and fighters will start to sit up and take notice.

This will be the biggest night of Pow’s 11 fight career against the southpaw Kulikauskis who has been in against some very big names.

Both men have the same number of wins but despite being 4 years Pow’s junior the Latvian fighter has been far the busier of the pair with a total of 30 contests to Pow’s 11, the most recent of which was a narrow defeat to the popular Dean Francis in the West Countryman’s backyard of Bristol.

Three years ago the young Latvian was being touted as one of the hottest properties in Europe when he fought for the
