LOMCE EDUCATION REFORM APPROVED By using their parliamentary majority, the proposed education reforms known as LOMCE, the Ley Orgánica para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa, nicknamed “Wert´s Law” after the Minister of Education, José Ignacio Wert, have finally been approved by the Spanish government, with numerous amendments having been adopted, but without the

support from the opposition, the majority of teachers and hundreds of thousands of protestors.

Both the UPyD and Foro groups abstained from the vote, whereas the entire opposition voted against it, with the votes of the ruling Partido Popular swinging it to their favour. A statement from the main opposition group read, “By Congress processing Wert´s law substantially unchanged, and without the government listening to the educational community, they set out to ratify their intenContinued on Page 35

Since the first moment the changes were proposed, a wave of protest flooded through the country. In late September, as schools returned for the next academic timetable, 100,000 people took to the streets of Palma de Mallorca in protest over reforms, in a campaign dismissed by the Balearic government, who stated that the 100,000 people who marched on against reforms “do not represent the people but a very personal choice”, stating that the number of people “only account for 7% of the population, whereas in the last regional elections, the PP received more than 18% of the electorate.

Prior to the vote, the Minister of Education, José Ignacio Wert, warned that the changes are necessary, explaining that for every child who has to repeat a year of education, there is a 7,000 euro bill put on the state. Since 40% of students have repeated a year of compulsory education at least once by the age of 15, the overall cost of a cohort of students who have gone through the school system is 24 billion euro, “It is a scourge on educational and very inefficient use of resources”, he said.

The parliamentary opposition collectively claim that LOMCE will be a “short law, the most ephemeral in history”, with Wert still arguing the intention to “reduce dropout rates”.

Whilst still battling for independence, the political groups of Catalonia are outraged by the decision, as one of the reforms puts the Castilian as the primary language in education, which the Catalan government considers to be “an attack on the state and shared multilinguistic competences”, given

the preferences that the region put towards their own language.

Both the Catalan and Basque representatives stated that on the assumption that the legislation does become approved by the Senate, Lomce would be adopted but it will not be

implemented effectively in their communities. “We will not allow further jeopardizing of social cohesion and stealing the future of our children. In Catalonia we will not apply the law”, said the ERC deputy minister Joan Tardà, continuing that “Franco tried to kill our

Whilst once again taking to the streets of Torrevieja, teachers, educators, parents and children all protested the change again on Thursday evening, but with a sombre mood clear as their faces told the story that their

GOLDEN DAY AT REBATE FOR TOMLINSONS Last Wednesday was a ‘Golden Day’ for Dave Tomlinson and his wife Lee as they joined friends at the Rebate Restaurant to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary where, following an excellent meal, they enjoyed a lunchtime performance from the excellent Raquel Peña’s Flamenco Dance Company.

After Raquel became aware of the celebration dancers Paula, Irene, Daniel and Luciana came across during a break in their performance to congratulate Lee and David and to pose for a photograph, St Helens businessman Dave, Chairman of the North West Counties Football League and brother of Royle Family star Ricky, owns property in Cabo Roig where he and Lee are now spending an increasing amount of their time. Dave told the Leader “One day perhaps I would like to retire over here but in view of my current

business and football commitments that is still a few years down the line.” This current trip sees the couple in Spain until the end of the month.

INVESTING IN ORIHUELA The initial ground preparations have begun on the new footpaths over the main roads and motorway at the La Zenia and Villamartin areas

During this week´s national budget announcement, Finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro showed a considerable increase in investment in the country´s railways and transport in 2014, with Orihuela looking to benefit in at least two principle ways.

Firstly, the A-7 motorway Monteagudo and northern Orihuela, will be widened to include a third lane, extending the highway in Crevillente, considered as the gateway to the region.

Secondly, 44.2 million euro will be invested in the Monforte, Elche and Orihuela railway network, which will be of considerable benefit to the municipality, despite the relatively short term pain of the residents who have had to endure the constant works so far.

Meanwhile, whilst checking the local accounts in preparation for the next budgets, the Councillor for the Coast, Martina Schreurer, has found some 506,000 euro of bank credits which have been left unspent by the coastal department during both the current and the previous administration. With 122,600 euro left over from 2006, 210,000 from 2008 and 174,000 from 2010, the council has already allocated 201,000 euro of various small improvements around the coastal area, and will be looking at other ways of using

the otherwise wasted funds in order to provide things like play areas, street furniture and improve some areas which have been left in a state of disrepair whilst it was erroneously believed that no money was available to spend on these small, but very important improvements.

Whilst still looking to develop areas of the coast, the Orihuela Council attended two meetings in Alicante this week, the first was with the Coastal Department to see if sand can be better spread along the Orihuela Costa before the start of the next summer season, after a number of deficiencies were identified this year. The department has agreed to attend the coast and carry out analysis of the sandy areas to see if there will be a possibility next year.

The second meeting in Alicante was with the department responsible for the road network. Two matters were discussed, the first being the lack of bus stops at La Zenia, for which the town hall asked for clarification as to why the creation of bus lay-bys had been declined. Whatever the reasons in the past, the road department are happy to consider a newly presented proposal which would provide for the safe passage of cars whilst buses are stopped, similar to those already in place along the N332, such as at La Mata.

The second major road issue discussed was at the crossroads near the Consum supermarket, which would be the access road for the new Emergency Coordination centre. Previously submitted plans to build a roundabout or traffic lights here had been submitted but apparently declined, but given that a traffic survey has been carried out and faced with the reality of the routes whereas signs that clearly disallow certain manoeuvres such as left turns are being ignored, the road department has approved the construction of a temporary roundabout whilst another survey is carried out to see if it makes any difference to the flow of traffic.

The work on Zenia Boulevard has commenced, with a small number of palm trees being identified as infected, or damaged beyond repair, which the environment department will be dealing with during the course of monitoring the work. Similarly, the initial ground preparations have

begun on the new footpaths over the main roads and motorway at the La Zenia and Villamartin areas, for which the technicians monitoring the work are confident will not cause any significant disruption to traffic whilst the bridges are installed.

Finally this week, a previous project submitted for the creation of a footpath and lighting on Calle Cipres has also been developed into one of practical use.

Whereas the town hall were

legally unable to provide a proper footpath, street lights have already been allocated which were surplus from other areas, now an isolated pedestrian walking route will be created by reusing bollards taken from the Zenia Boulevard works to create a segregated path. By reusing equipment, the town hall feel that it is a less wasteful use of public facilities, and subsequently allows them to do more within smaller budget allocations.

ENERGY WATCHDOG VETOES SUNSHINE TAX The Spanish Government has been dealt a taxing blow this week as the Comisión Nacional de la Energía, or CNE, has objected to their plans to tax solar energy.

The energy commission has asked Minister José Manuel Soria to edit the draft decree of electrical consumption, claiming that plans to tax solar power are “discriminatory”, and that they “violate European regulations on renewable energy”, as they fail to recognise the benefits associated with the energy generated in a decentralised manner.

The Ministry had imposed a tax to clean energy, specifically photovoltaic and wind, with a level the CNE claim is so high that it prevents any development of these renewable energy sources in Spain.

Significantly, the CNE has called on the government to eliminate the tax.

The Government justified the tax by saying that renewable energy producers benefit from electrical system when they connect to the network and at times when solar power generation is reduced, the general network covers the cost.

The CNE argues that this tax change makes projects unviable, which contravenes EU directives on energy efficiency. The Ministry has sought to block the development of clean energy consumption just as photovoltaic panels have become 80% cheaper five years, and in many cases it is cheaper for companies to self produce power.

Many projects, such as those established in hotels and small industries, are already feasible without having to sell their excess or seek financial investment. The proposal includes costs that are so high, it would not be “economically feasible” for the supply and subsistence of production, says the report.

The CNE also disagrees with the idea that self produced clean energy should be used to subsidise the debts of the electricity network, 26 billion euro in May 2013. The CNE said the proposed royal decree “sacrifices economic efficiency and long-term growth for the sake of short-term economic sustainability”, as the government seeks to recover costs that largely predate the own consumption and are not attributable to the eco-friendly supply.

TORREVIEJA LOSE SALT LAKE BUILDING APPEAL Torrevieja Town Hall has lost a case in the High Court, in which they attempted to reclassify the land in the immediate vicinity of the salt lakes surrounding the city.

The aim was to declassify the land as not being covered by the Coastal Act, therefore removing the land from the public domain, which would have allowed for the construction of buildings and other features on the banks of the lakes.

In April 2012, the Ministry of the Environment approved the final demarcation of two lagoons, but after several years of discussion and cessation of any activity on the fringes of ground, the High Court has now ruled that the land does fall within the legislation. The boundary affects all land located around the edges of the two lakes, 1,330 acres in La Mata and 2,160 in Torrevieja, comprising of more than 45 linear miles of shoreline that affects the municipalities of Rojales, Los Montesinos and Guardamar del Segura, as well as the canals in Acequión and La Mata.

In the appeal made by a municipal architect, Torrevieja claimed that the Salinas are “two inland water bodies, which from time immemorial remain isolated from the marine environment and cannot be considered wetlands, lagoons and marshes, not being land that is flooded as a result of ebb and flow of the tides or sea water filtration” As a result, “The lagoons cannot be considered a maritime zone that meets the characteristics of the Coastal Act to be considered public domain” On behalf of the State meanwhile, the appeal focused on the environmental values ??of the region to maintain their status as public domain, including declaration that the wetland has been classed as of importance since 1989 in the international Ramsar convention and are included within the Special Protection Areas for birds (ZEPA) and the Natura 2000 network.

A geomorphologic study also supported the position of the state, warning that urban and agricultural activities have exerted “considerable” pressure on land adjacent to the lagoons. One project which now clearly falls foul of the legislation is the infamous “cigar” health spa. After over a million euro was invested in the project, all that remains is the crumbling and decaying shell as a testament to waste and poor municipal management, which must now be either demolished or moved, but either way, the ruling now gives credibility to protecting the natural environment surrounding some of the most tranquil and rich lagunas along the east coast of Spain.

TORREVIEJA NEWS ROUNDUP the acquittal on the grounds that there had been even “administrative irregularities”. According to the Prosecutor, a comprehensive examination of all the proceedings of the former Mayor reveals that he participated in the decision process of the major contract awarded to UTE Necso.

The former mayor of Torrevieja was sentenced in November 2012 by the High Court of Valencia to three years in prison and seven years disqualification from holding public office. The final judgment will be known within 40 days.

Torrevieja played host to young entrepreneurs this week, all having entered a competition to try to secure funding for their start-ups. With the Mayor, Eduardo Dolón presiding over the awards ceremony aimed at encouraging young people to create new companies and therefore reduce unemployment in the hardest hit age group, the first prize of 7,000 euro was awarded to Arena Park, a company run by Daniel and Eloy Tarazaga, which provides children's entertainment, games, catering and extra-curricular activities.

The court in Elche has sentenced a 51 year old Belgian builder, identified with the initials M. P. C. C., to 23 years in prison, after he was found guilty of the murder of a 53 year old Belgian woman, Bernadette Lepiece, in Torrevieja in April 2007, whom he beat up with a “mace or crowbar”, leaving her just alive, although she died the next day as a result of the injuries. The man´s son, a 24 year old, was acquitted as he left the scene whilst his father was still beating the woman. It is believed that the man beat the woman to death because she owed him money for work on her property.

As their contribution to World Mental Health, held each year on the 10th of October, the Department of Psychiatry for Torrevieja held various activities this week aimed at raising awareness of the work done for people with mental illness, to end the stigma and discrimination associated with mental health problems. The campaign stated that 56% of the general population confuse intellectual and learning difficulties with mental illness, for which they attempted to highlight the differences, as well as presenting a positive view of the possibilities of personal autonomy and recovery.

The Deputy Mayor of Torrevieja, Joaquín Albaladejo, has met with the consul for Spain in St. Petersburg, Ricardo Peidró, in order to look at expanding joint collaboration lines, in particular towards tourism. So far, tourism activities between the Russian region and the Costa Blanca has increased by 25%.

During his appeal hearing this week, the Supreme Court Prosecutor has asked the judge to uphold the three prison sentence handed down to Torrevieja´s former Mayor, Pedro Hernández Mateo of the Partido Popular, for committing falsehood and prevarication in awarding a contract for waste disposal.

The defence lawyer said the decision to award the contract “was not the mayor´s, but the Local Government Board”, and therefore Hernández Mateo is not singularly responsible. Both the prosecutor and the private prosecutor claimed that the consideration of the procedure as a whole is that Hernández Mateo resorted to “inventions”, as well as “violations of the laws”, “simulating the legal process”.

The defence counsel has requested

The Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, led the commemoration celebration of the day of the Valencia community this week, without the presence of most of the political opposition.

The band of the Unión Musical Torrevejense, directed by Jaime Belda, played as the ceremony began, as the patriotic anthems of Spain, Valencia and Torrevieja were performed by the local musicians, as Dolón raised the flag, accompanied by the current Queen of Salt, Nuria Zaragoza Giménez.

Unlike a previous event, the flag was presented the right way up this time, as the entire Partido Popular team, as well as two members of APTCE, the Alternativa Popular group of Torrevieja, proudly presented their allegiance to the ceremony.

However, in a situation that has now become normal, the PSOE and Los Verdes representatives didn´t attend the event, a position that was first announced last year in a move that is intended to show their lack of support and unification for the PP led government, and a situation that wasn´t referred to by Dolón, who continued through the ceremony as a matter of course.

The Mayor did however thank the authorities and councillors who did attend, along with an estimated 250 of the 103,270 citizens of Torrevieja who attended the event, business leaders, senior officers of the Guardia Civil, National and Local Police and a former Mayor, Joaquín García, the socialist leader who led the city council in the 1980´s, having taken over from the very popular Rosa Mazón Valero, before the PP took over in the form of Pedro Ángel Hernández Mateo, in 1991.

Northern Europeans have shown a “very solid” and “positive” growth, especially from the Swedish and Norwegian markets, with a “positive” outlook also from Germany and Switzerland, with “solid growth” from France. However, visitors from Portugal and Italy are still declining.

Workers at the Panrico bakery have decided to call off their indefinite strike; after an agreement has been reached with the management of the donut and bakery firm to pay the salaries of staff, as well as their outstanding wages. The outstanding wages will be paid in stages over the next few weeks, with their full payments being guaranteed before the 14th of November, or earlier if the money becomes available. Therefore, the workers have agreed not to strike whilst payments are being made.

Specialist officers from the National Police have been conducted a search at yet another location, in the hope of finding the body of Marta del Castillo. The search was ended on Thursday with no results, after the search of the finca “Majaloba” in the Seville town of La Rinconada, which was searched based on the latest testament of her former boyfriend, Miguel Carcaño. The father of Marta del Castillo, who was murdered in January 2009, is still convinced that his daughter's body is somewhere “along the road” which links Seville with La Rinconada.

It is anticipated that by the end of this year, Spain will have been visited by 57.7 million international tourists, thanks to the increase of 6% expected in the fourth quarter, of about 11 million tourists, according to the tourism

Electricity supply company Unesa has lost a Supreme Court hearing that could have meant a 25% increase to electricity bills. The company sought to rectify deficiencies in the rates of electricity in 2013, which would have meant a 12% increase on the annual rate, but should the Supreme Court have backed the company, it would have been immediately enforceable, which would have resulted in an immediate increase on the next bill of around 54%.

The number of passengers on domestic flights within Spain fell 16% in August, compared with the same month in 2012, while those who opted for the train increased by 2.2%, according to data released this week by the National Institute of Statistics.

A total of 5,679 new companies were created in Spain during August, representing a 3.8% increase over the same month of 2012, according to figures released by the National Statistics Institute, having risen 30.5% in April, 10.1% in May, 0.8% in June and 16.2% in July. A total of 71,345 companies were created in the first nine months of the year, up 7% on the same period in 2012.

The price of housing in Spain experienced a drop of 10.6% in the second quarter, the highest among euro zone countries, but represented a slowdown compared to the decrease of 12.8% in the three first months of 2013, as reflected in the data published by Eurostat.

SUMMER TRAFFIC MAYHEM The holiday season once again witnessed Orihuela Costa teaming with holiday makers adding to the number of people who reside here throughout the year.

This is a busy time for shops, bars and restaurants that depend on the holiday season to see them through the leaner months. Orihuela Costa is a popular holiday destination, providing a home from home to the many thousands of people who purchased property in this area for use as their holiday home. A very high number of these “residential tourists” live outside Spain, mainly coming from countries within the European Union and more recently Russia.

Holiday makers give an essential boost to the local economy and are an absolutely essential part of the overall Spanish economy It is clear that the new Zenia Boulevard Shopping Centre has been a great hit with holiday makers this year, on some days even the very ample parking provision provided by this prestige development has struggled to cope with the demand. The Shopping Centre rose to the challenge, late night opening, nightly entertainment, plus the added attraction of the Outlet Fair. Bars and restaurants have been extremely busy, offering a variety of quality venues to

tempt hungry and thirsty visitors. However traffic congestion was substantially increased by the very success of Zenia Boulevard with long tail backs on the N332 and all access roads at times became gridlocked.

This huge influx of people clearly put a tremendous strain on the road system within Orihuela Costa. The totally inadequate local transport system completely failed to relieve traffic congestion. The effects of the poor quality bus system are that most holiday makers require a car in order to enjoy their holiday. This is a great boost to the car hire industry, stretching their resources to the utmost. However this vast number of additional motorists puts the road system under terrific pressure.

August highlights the deficiencies of poor planning decisions and the inadequate road system on Orihuela Costa. The majority of holiday makers want to spend time on the beach; this requires leaving the large urbanisations to the west of the N322 and crossing this busy road at one of the roundabouts that lead to the sea. On approaching the beach holiday makers are faced with a search for a parking space; there is a decided lack of beachside car parks, so residential streets are clogged.

Residents, travellers and commuters who use the

N332 daily throughout the year find that their journey times are several times longer than normal. Every roundabout becomes a traffic jam and at certain times of the day it can take over 15 minutes to successfully navigate just one roundabout. There is only one road bridge over the N332 so there is virtually no alternative than to access the N332 via one of these roundabouts.

I suppose that it is fortunate that many properties are only used as holiday homes and that the traffic mayhem only lasts for the peak summer months. One dreads to think what the effects would be if a greater number of these holiday dwellings were occupied on a permanent basis.

With the current number of building projects

under construction it is very likely that the summer traffic chaos will be a daily occurance.

The traffic chaos of the summer months simply highlights that planning decisions were made by individuals who do not live or work in Orihuela Costa and who have no concept of the needs of coastal residents or tourists.

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

ORIHUEL A AND THE COST A NEWS R OUNDUP Presiding over the official celebrations of the Day of the Valencian Community, the Mayor of Orihuela, Monserrate Guillén of the Los Verdes, whilst pledging allegiance to Valencia, was critical of the regional Partido Popular government team in his speech to mark the day, in particular highlighting the 3.5 million euro debt that Valencia owes. “We see too often disappointment and debt. We loyally proclaim Valencia, but never blind, deaf and dumb to reality” he said.

Relations between the city of Orihuela and the Regional Government have deteriorated in the last two years, following the local government´s repeated demands that the region face their obligations to the Orihuela municipality. “I proclaim on behalf of the people of Orihuela, an unflinching commitment to Valencia, loyalty to its people and its institutions. But let me also proclaim hope and face reality, because that same institutional loyalty is what we expect from those who are legitimate representatives of our community”, he concluded.

Orihuela council has approved payments worth 300,000 euro, including providing computer consumables for various departments of the City Council and various invoices from different council department. In addition, they have awarded 71 individual grants totalling 17,500 euro and awarded three grants totalling 875 euro for victims of domestic violence. Furthermore, the government team has altered the notice period for awarding ten scholarships, including at the University Miguel Hernández.

In legal cases affecting Orihuela, the town hall has approved urban infringement cases, both with penalties worth between 12,000 and 13,000 euro, and implemented demolition orders for properties on the coast. At the same time, the governing board has designated a lawyer to defend the City in a litigation case brought by 21 garbage collection and street cleaning employees, who launched a legal claim to charge 19 cents per kilometre for travelling to the Orihuela Costa to do their job.

Despite having already cut the rent bill in half for additional office space required by the town hall staff, the attempts to save the current 200,000 euro per year bill by investing over 2 million euro in a new town hall in Orihuela city was brought into doubt this week, as the majority opposition group of the Partido Popular, along with CLARO, brought an emergency meeting to divert the funds to the construction of the Rabaloche health centre instead, a project which should be funded by the regional administration. The Mayor of the municipality, Monserrate Guillén, and the ruling groups were against funding the project, in view of the 3.5 million euro debt that the regional group owes the local administration already.

Ousted former councillor for the coast of Orihuela, Pedro Mancebo, has warned that the municipality is at risk of losing the blue flag status, due to deficiencies detected on the beaches during the summer. In particular, Mancebo quotes an alleged breach of contract for the providers of the lifeguard services, from a company that he had previously appointed, due to the lack of facilities at all of the beaches for those with reduced mobility, which were only provided on three out of eleven beaches.

Following the daring rescue of a drowning man on the Orihuela Costa, in which a group of surfers went to his aid, Orihuela Town hall has now decided to consider liberalising surfing in certain areas of the coast, which would allow surfers to practice their sport through the winter months without the risk of police intervention. Orihuela is one of the few coastal xones in the area where surfing is not permitted at all, and so the liberalisation during quieter periods may also help to develop other waterbased activity groups in the future.

Engineers and technicians have been seen this week examining the site of the suspended construction of the new secondary school for the Orihuela Costa. Although no official statement has been made by the Valencia government, it is known that such inspections would be needed to catalogue the level of work completed before the completion project can be put to tender. Therefore, it is hoped by the local authority that this may be the first sign of finally realising the project for the pupils of the Orihuela Costa.

ASTON MAR TIN CYGNET STOPS PRODUCTION

BY NICK IRELAND

It may have been no more than a sheep in wolf’s clothing, a Toyota IQ with luxury trim that masqueraded as a baby Aston Martin, but the least expensive AM model has just come to an end.

The Aston Martin Cygnet city car has been dropped from the range, according to AutoCar. A spokesperson for Aston Martin told the motoring magazine and website it had “no plans to re-enter the supermini category. Instead, focus will revert to sports cars such as the Vanquish Volante and the V12 Vantage S.” However, a quick Internet search if full of rumours that suggest Aston Martin may be working on a similar project in partnership with AMG! The little pocket rocket, the size of a Smart car, but smarter in that it could seat four, although not for a long trip, and even then you’d have to choose between your mates or shopping for the back seats, was basically a £30,000 modified Toyota IQ with a 1.3-litre petrol engine that produced 97bhp. There are reportedly 143 examples of the Cygnet on UK roads, despite reports suggesting initial supply was unable to keep up with demand.

On the off chance you want a mini Aston Martin that's basically a Toyota, you can pick one up second hand in Spain starting at about 30,000 euros, but they are an even rarer beast in Spain than the UK! The car was launched with much fanfare back in July 2011 at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club when international motorsport legend, Sir Stirling Moss took delivery of his newly purchased Aston Martin Cygnet; as a surprise birthday present for wife, Lady Moss. Sir Stirling Moss said: “My greatest partner in everything that I do, Susie is an amazing person and frankly the best wife a man could have.

Since seeing a pre-production Cygnet in January I knew that it was the perfect car for Susie; a proper little piece of British luxury and perfect for our life in town.”

Hand-crafted at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, taking 150 hours to complete, at the time AM promoted it saying that “the Aston Martin Cygnet shares much in terms of design and craftsmanship with the company’s sports cars. Elegant and distinctive, individual and practical, the Aston Martin Cygnet is the ultimate Tailor-Fit solution for city living. Launched in May 2011 with first customer orders arriving at European dealers now, Cygnet is hand-crafted for the city and like every Aston Martin it can be uniquely personalised to suit individual taste and style, bringing a new level of luxury and bespoke capability to city cars.”

Even at a price, the Aston Martin Cygnet is destined to become a sort of ugly duckling classic of the AM range, vying with only the DB7, a Jag in other clothing, as the cheapest in the AM line up. Of course you could buy a second hand Toyota IQ for about 8,000 euros, and make a replica. Either way, the Cygnet, is no more!

‘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 ‘BARCELONA PROBLEM’

T

his problem began when we moved into our new home in the Canary Islands. It was a new build property, and like most new builds it came as a shell, meaning that there was no fitted kitchen, shower, bathroom or any of the modern fixtures that I initially expected to see. Unlike new properties in the UK, ours and similar properties were sold with this feature as a “consumer advantage”, on the basis that fittings are a matter of consumer choice and the size of one’s pocket. However, I suspect this “consumer advantage” is more of a culture of laziness on the part of builders than anything that is consumer orientated. Even after being lulled into a false sense of security by a smooth talking estate agent, I did feel that leaving bare wires hanging from walls and ceilings in order to “give us a choice of light fittings” was taking “consumer choice” a little too far.

Finally, after much discussion with several kitchen fitters, we decided upon a colour scheme and units for our new kitchen. Sadly, it was now August; in other words, the ‘Silly Season’ had begun, which meant an almost total closedown of offices, shops and services for, in theory, two weeks in August. However, in reality, this means that few things, including the temperature, get back to normal until late September or even October. The very nice sales lady then raised the issue of appliances for our new fitted kitchen.

We would have preferred to take our time in selecting these all important appliances, but as we were shortly due to move into our new home, we took the very nice sales lady’s advice that “if you don't order now, you won’t get much before Christmas”. She noticed that my eyebrows had shot heavenwards at that point, and she quickly

added, “You see, everything has to come by boat to the island from Barcelona. Barcelona is the problem, not us.”

I was not convinced; we had already come across the ‘Barcelona problem’ many times before. It was, and still is, a comment freely trotted out by any salesperson that doesn't have what we want in stock. Be it kitchen appliances, wall tiles, parts for the car, packets of tofu or even jars of Marmite. I become weary each time the words the Barcelona problem’ are uttered.

My partner and I glanced at each other and nodded. Yes, although it would be more expensive, it would clearly be to our advantage to order the kitchen appliances right away, and to have them fitted at the same time as the kitchen units. We had already decided upon the type and brand of appliances that we would like, but each time we asked for a specific brand, the very nice sales lady smiled and shook her head. “No, I am sorry. If we order this, it will take at least six weeks.

It is the ‘Barcelona problem’, you see.”

“What about Fagor, Hoover, Hotpoint, Bosch, Whirlpool?” I went through most of the brands that we knew of, or at least had some experience of. The very nice sales lady shook her head sadly, making

17

By Bar rie Mahoney

the same point, “I’m so sorry, we don't have these in stock. If you order these, they won’t be here until Christmas. We have the Christmas break, New Year holidays and King’s Day; it could be well into next year before they are fitted. It’s the ‘Barcelona problem’, you see.”

Being sensitive to our disappointment, the very nice sales lady opened the drawer of her desk and with a flourish pulled out a fat catalogue from a French brand that we knew very little of, but I won’t mention the name here. Looking back, I don't think we had even heard of the brand before. The appliances looked good, and they were in the stainless steel finish that we wanted, and the very nice sales lady assured us that all of the items that we required were in stock. Anyway, surely a washing machine is a washing machine, irrespective of brand?

We ordered a fridge freezer, cooker hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave, and all would be installed the following week. “You won’t be disappointed,” the very nice sales lady assured us as I handed over my credit card. “They are all reliable machines and will last for years.”

When the very nice sales lady had mentioned “for years”, I hadn't realised that she had really meant “for four years”. In reality, each appliance has lasted just over four years. Each appliance has died in the last few months and, today, the last appliance, an electric oven, blew up after four years and two days from purchase. I am now convinced that all the appliances that we had purchased came installed with a pre-determined obsolescence time clock.

What have I learned from this experience? Firstly, I now twitch at very mention of ‘Barcelona’, and will avoid visiting the city for a while and, secondly, I will buy German-made appliances in future.

MERCADONA CRITICISED FOR PROVIDING CHEAPER PRODUCE

Is your Community suffering due to late or non-payment of Community fees?

Are you struggling to maintain the value of your community whilst attempting to manage collection of the outstanding fees due to you?

In this day and age resources are drained by communities as they have to spend time focusing on non-paying debtors whilst also having to ensure the upkeep of the community.

This can be a thankless and difficult task.

CCDR offers debt recovery and credit control services with offices in the UK and Spain. We have been operating on the Costa Blanca for almost 4 years with our unique "No Collection No Fee" services, therefore enjoying an extremely high level of success for our clients.

Unlike many law firms we do not charge up-front fees, file fees or admin fees we operate a simple no collection no fee policy, many community bylaws include a clause for our collection fees thereby a large number of our clients operate on a completely free service as the cost of recovery is obtained from the debtor, and why shouldn't it be? After all the community must continue to flourish and many essential projects can be delayed due to lack of funds in the community bank.

If you wish to use our services or speak to one of our team please call or email the UK or Spanish office and we will be happy to help.

Whilst maintaining their commitment to providing constant low prices, without resorting to gimmicks, frills and promotions such as special offers and loyalty cards, supermarket chain Mercadona has come under fire for replacing around 1,800 products which were traditionally sourced in Spain, with cheaper, and what some have called “lower quality”, foreign suppliers.

Whilst Spain is renowned for numerous natural products such as oranges and olive oil, amongst may others, whereas the export market may still be seeing growth, Mercadona is now sourcing oranges from Argentina and olive oil from Morocco, as well as pumpkins from Panama and milk from France and Portugal.

The criticism has been levied towards the company as many see that whilst the country is in crisis, they ought to be sourcing locally, thus supporting the communities in which they serve. But the arguable fact is that by providing cheaper products to the market, and then the savings are handed directly to the consumer, with the opportunity to reduce the costs of the domestic produce, which would enable them to achieve a better market position within the everyday household budget.

200,000 WITH ALCOHOL RELATED PROBLEMS IN PROVINCE Figures recently released show that 10% of the population has problems with alcohol.

In the province of Alicante that means close to200,000 people are drinking too much with over 1/3rd of teenagers aged between 14 and 18 confirming that they have been drunk at least once, some rather more, during the last month.

The health authorities confirm that alcohol is the most widely used drug enjoyed by 77% of the population. This is almost double the number of those who smoke cigarettes (40%) and 7 times more than the users of sedatives (11.7%) and cannabis (9.6%).

Within the 14-34 age groups only barbiturates are more widely taken and amongst 15-19 year olds over 22% of males and 17% of females say that they go out drinking with the aim of getting drunk.

The survey said that 36% of youngsters aged 14 to 18 acknowledge being drunk at least once during the last month, while in 2006 it was 25%, an increase of 30% in the past five years.

According to the traditional criteria of the World Health Organization, drinkers at risk (those who drink more than 50 cm3 daily, in the case of men, and 30 for women (a beer is about ten or twelve cm3) number 4% of all citizens, although in the age group 15 to 24 years the percentage is 5.5% (6.1% for women).

At the circuit level and within the social health system there are many resources. One of them, perhaps the most traditional model is Alcoholics Anonymous. In the Alicante province there are 29 support groups, ten operated by Spanish speakers and 19 other which offer support in English, German, Norwegian and Dutch.

But Toni, a Provincial delegate, says that Alcoholics Anonymous is not the panacea, it is an alternative and for most of us a complementary resource that may be used in addition to the treatment from a physician or psychiatrist.

"We are not doctors or therapists and we will always encourage you to seek medical advice. What we bring is emotional support. A support group by itself is not sufficient therapy.”

ABBEY ANGLING MATCH FISHING

By Terry Screen This week’s 6th round match of the Winter League was fished at the Embalsa at Blanca on the 8th October.

This lake must be the hardest place to fish in Spain, considering its size and that it is being fed by a river it still fishes very patchy, and there does not seem to be any small fish except for the Bleak and they were absent in some pegs.

Most of the fish are coming to Corn Maggot and Hemp, Ian Dalzell once again showing his fishing expertise using Hemp on the feeder to win the match.

1st Ian (The Wizard) Dalzell with 9.700kg fishing Hemp on the feeder, Joint 2nd Doug (The Welsh Gold miner) Hornblow with 5.670kg fishing pole and feeder, Also 2nd Dave (Yours Truly) Hoare with 5.670kg fishing the whip using maggot for Bleak The overall points at the half way stage of the Winter League is 1st Dave Hoare with 43.5 pts 2nd Ian Dalzell with 37pts 3rd Stan Roberts with 36pts All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

CARP-R-US CLUB NEWS This week once again our match booked on the Embalse de Pedrera had to be moved to the Eden Canal in Guardamar, because of the very high water levels in the Embalse. The authorities have been informed of the change of venue.

The results of the match- round five of the Clubs Autumn series, are as follows: In first place was Steve Collins using the feeder with maggot for a weight of 6.20kilos; second was Pete Kerr using the pole with maggot with 5.24kilos, third Derek King with 5.05 kilos using the feeder and maggot, and in fourth place Roy Buttress with 4.24kilos.

It was a very good Autumn day but the fish were small.

Round six will be fished at the Embalse del Argos on Thursday October 17th. Meet on the bank at 8.00am for the draw- fishing 9.00 to 2.00pm.

The next Club meeting will be on Sunday the 22nd of October at the Bar with the Committee at 10.00am followed by the General meeting at 11.00am. Would members that have returnable Cups etc please return them by no later than 17th November, or earlier if possible.

The next Quiz night will be on Tuesday the 22nd of October starting at 7.30pm; the cost is 1€ per person for the Quiz and teams of 6 or less can take part.

The Clubs home is at the Bar El Alto La Doloras which is to be found just off the N332 between La Mata and Guardamar. The Clubs web site is at www.carprus.net or you can phone 966 71 7923 for the latest information.

180s: Joe Miller (Hyenas), Derek Kingsbury, Patrick Abrams (Meerkats), Sid Cross (Hattons Hunks) Highest finish: John Eyre (Meerkats) 100 Hattons Hunks lost their unbeaten record this week to leave just 4 teams unbeaten, with the Meerkats and Que Pasa the only two with 100% records. That could change however next week when the Hyenas entertain Que Pasa at the Hub. Should be some match!

This week the highflying Eagles saw off the challenge from the Hunks, a result which keeps them firmly in second place only on leg difference. Another sound performance from the league newcomers gave them a healthy 4-2 advantage at half time, the Hunks only success being in a triple and one of the doubles (Keith King and Bob Hawkins). Eagle Wes Dunn even managed 2x100 in the team game with a broken ankle. At 4-2 down the Hunks must have thought the draw possible, but their only success was Kenny Wilkinson against Jim Storey. Even a maximum from former Meerkat Sid Cross wasn’t

enough against a barrage of high scoring from Brett Badlove´s Eagles.

Storey´s 3x100, Kevin Wood 3x100, Stuart Clark 2x100,122 and John Walker 3x100,121 and four game shots were the main contributors in a win that will ensure the Meerkats keep looking over their shoulders at what looks like their main rivals.

The Hyenas visited Gogarty´s with an unbeaten record, which still remains after Hyena Lee Holtham planted his arrow in the all important 7th leg D4 against Richard Patterson. The Hyenas looked pretty impressive under the guidance of captain Simon Williams. Joe Miller´s contribution of 3 game shots and a ton plus a 140 in his four unbeaten games along with Shaun Smith 2x100,121,140 and 3 unbeaten games were pivotal in their classy away victory. Gogarty´s successes came via Cynthia Jevons D14 in the trebles, Brian Newton on D16 in the second double plus a winning single D16 against Williams.

Kevin Prockter D20 got the fourth leg for the home side and also managed a 134 and 140. Geoff ¨Cagey¨ Harvey wrapped up the evening with an excellent 91 out (T17,S20,D10) after three consecutive 85s.

Table toppers Meerkats faced the Pint Depot Queens who arrived appropriately dressed in flashing crowns. A spirited performance from the Royal visitors, including some impressive scoring, wasn’t enough to rattle the veteran Kats. In fact it was 6-0 at half time and a whitewash looked an odds on bet. Whether it was close to the Kats bedtime or the flashing lights, the hosts looked a little jaded as first Pat Abrams faced Ann Griffiths who missed vital double opportunities and then her most Royal Queen Debbie Wright did the same against Lee Maiden. It could have been 6-2 and not 8-0. Lorraine Cox was next and a 114 opening score was met with a 140 reply from opponent Paul Durrant who managed to get to the double first which didn’t seem to bother Lorraine as she calmly placed her third arrow in D17 for the Queen´s only win amid a riotous display of congratulations totalling unbecoming of royalty. Some good scoring from Marie Dunne and Vi Turner wasn’t enough as the Kats learnt their lesson and polished off the remaining 3 legs. Kat Alex Nikolov started well in the team game scoring 140,100 and 95 whilst Maiden, this week playing four legs, hit 140,125,100 and 3 game shots including an 88 out (S5,T17,D16). Abrams continued his fine form with 2x100 and 3 game shots, one of which was an excellent S11,bull. John Eyre finished his singles on 100,100 and 100 out (T20,D20).

PB´s Pirates find themselves pointless after 4 matches, this time succumbing to neighbours Madigans although Gilly Kirby is confident things are improving as their 5 legs from 12 indicate. 140s from Madigans Pete James and Pirates John Lane were eclipsed by Kirby´s

victory over Madigans captain Sonya Cooper for her second win of the evening. The Tavern gained their second win of the season over the Pint Depot Kings, in a nail biting affair decided only on the last leg. Some good scoring in the opening leg from the Kings was wasted as the visitors hit D5 courtesy of Mike Snow. The hosts took both triples by way of John Broadhead D20 and Eddie Fozzard D10. Ralph Wetherby D10 levelled for the Tavern only for the pendulum to swing in favour of the Kings. Ian Sleath D8 and Snow D8 made it 3 apiece at half time. The first two singles were shared with both sides eager to gain a 2 leg advantage. Snow got the Tavern ahead again with a 3 dart 50 out on D16 and then Sean Farrell despite some dodgy finishing, deservedly made it 4-6. Gary Minor made sure it went to the final leg with a victory over Stephen Ralphs. Dave Wright had the throw over Del Lister in the final leg and opened up with a 98 with further steady scoring. Lister´s reply was emphatic with 100,95 and 140.

Wright stayed with him, but it was Lister who nailed the double first for overall victory. A low scoring affair down at Hattons resulted in an away win for Porterhouse. Ray Hayes enjoyed a nice two dart out S18 and D16 as did Peter Ayres S18,D20, but that was about it.

Everyone confirmed the highlight of the evening was the half time fayre which as usual was eagerly consumed. Busters continued their winning ways converting 10 doubles in convincing manner over Breakaways Bears. Finish of the night for the Bears was a S14,bull from hot shot Susan Wiles, whilst Buster Mark Filer once again hammered the 20 lipstick with 4x100 and a 124. Paul Dowinton supported with a 140 as did Peter O´Rourke 120 and Ray Harvey 100.

Busters now sit nicely in third place and will be a threat to the top two.

This year Halloween (October 31st) has fallen on Thursday dart night.

The committee recognises that celebrations may interfere with a match and therefore Derek Kingsbury on 966 848 992 should be contacted by October 24th or sooner for appropriate discussion.

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB

Sponsored by Autos Direct San Miguel After two weeks of not much to report except to say well done to the Spanish Squad for a great performance in the Europeans especially Jan Dando and Lyn Greenland, we once again shocked everybody by lifting the Federation Cup. Before this we returned to action on Saturday 5th with a number of our members taking part in the 4 Nations at Monte Mar. Pauline and Pat Rafferty and Bill Corbishley represented the victorious Welsh team, Ian Kenyon and Mike Regan played for Ireland and Arthur and Barbara Brown, Mike and Sheila Cox turned out for England.

This was immediately followed by three days of Federation Cup action which resulted in a win for our rinks team of Gail Watson, Arthur Brown, Ian Kenyon and Fred Willshire. They had a clean sweep in their ‘A’ Division games winning all five to qualify for the final against a strong San Miguel Team

of Russell and Sabrina Marks and Shirley and Noel Verity. The final was a really tight affair for 8 ends with Fred and Co leading 5 – 4 but then they took control to finally win 15 – 4. (Russell, Fred said sorry for those you know what but he had his fingers crossed and he was laughing when he said it).

Wednesday saw the return to league action with the first of this season’s Winter League games. We entertained Greenlands in a very close fought battle with Greenlands winning on three rinks and Vistabella claiming two but winning the overall shots by 88 to 85 to give a 6 points all draw. Our winning rinks were Beryl Regan, Stuart Allman, Andy Leggatt and Jenny Bowman and Gail Watson, Tony Sambrook, Ian Kenyon and Fred Willshire.

Next week we travel to Monte Mar for the Winter League, Thursday sees the start of our internal competitions and then on Friday the Southern League kicks off again so plenty to report next week.

THE FEDERATION CUP This Federated event was held 6th - 8th October at La Marina in two sections on a round robin basis.

There was some very competitive bowling, with the Winners from each group progressing to the Final.

This consisted of Gail Watson, Arthur Brown, Ian Kenyon and Fred Willshire of Vistabella against Shirley Verity, Sabrina Marks, Noel Verity and Russell Marks of San MIquel.

The first six ends were very closely contested with only one shot between both teams for most of the time. However, after this, the Vistabella four started to increase their lead, so much so, that San

Miquel conceded the game when it became clear who the winners would be.

Congratulations to Vistabella, and many thanks to La Marina for allowing us the use of their green, and to the organisers and Umpires for giving of their time.

This tournament is another example that Federated members would be able to enter if they opted to apply for the new Valencian Federation membership costing €15 including Insurance. For more info. speak to your Fed. Rep.

SAN LUIS BOWLS CLUB After the heat of the summer; the fun of the internal leagues - the “cocktail league” was won by team “Kamikazi”( Mal Hughes, Trevor Vanner, Jean Parkes, Roy Cordell, John Malden & Bill Webb).

Following the battle of north & south in the Valencian Championships, with SL runners-up in the rinks, came the colourful spectacle of the 9th European Team Championships. Hosted by Spain for the first time and bringing together 15 countries across Europe; well done to the Spanish squad for gold in the ladies’ pairs, bronze in the mixed rinks and bronze in the overall team competition. Now the swallows are returning and it’s back, more or less, to business as usual. We’re getting our heads round the n e w teams/members and who’s playing where & when. Southern league starts Fri 18th and SABA league, Monday 21st October so please check the notice boards

By Sheila Cammack (ALL OF THEM!!!) for relevant information.

Some of the reported chicken drive winners over the last few weeks: Frank Barclay, Gary Thorpe, Derrick Cooper (x3), Peter Knapp & Chris Brooks, apologies to any one who’s name didn’t reach me.

This week saw the start of the Winter League matches, Wednesday 9th October v our close neighbours, La Siesta. The venue was switched to a home fixture as La Siesta was having their new carpet laid. Winners: Ann Holland, Darren Johnson, Sue Cooper & Mal Hughes 15-15. Margaret Rogers, Mike Lockett, Colin Lindgren & Ian Rogers 17-11.

Allen Bowen, Pam Lockett, Ray Pollock & Pat Coffey 17-14. Kath Reid, Joe Johnson, Roy Cordell & Guiseppe Galleli 25-15. Colin Jackson, Sheila Cammack, June & Keith Jones 22-10. A good result for San Luis; Shots 96-65, points 11-1.

The San Luis 4-2-2 Open is taking place from Thursday 10th until Saturday 12th; results next week.

It’s great seeing friends & team mates returning from their travels but during the last week we have received the sad news of the death of John Horobin from La Siesta & Bob Eason from San Miguel, our condolences go to their families.

NEEDLESS RULES Dear Editor, I like quite a few other people took the opportunity to attend the recent European Team Bowls Championships.

I was a bowler back in the U.K., indeed I played at quite a high level. I did play for a couple of years when we first moved to Spain, but haven’t now played for 5 years or so.

What an excellent display of bowling skill the spectators were treated to. To cap it all Spain managed to get themselves a more than deserved Gold and 2 bronzes. Watching Graeme and Peter play against England and Scotland started giving me that "itch" to take the game up again.

The skill, determination and fight those two players showed throughout the tournament was wonderful to watch. I found it quite funny though the difference in the two guys..... Peter came across very nonchalant and relaxed as if he hadn’t a care in the world, whilst Graeme was the firecracker of the two. He never seemed to stop and was always shouting, was very animated, cursing under his breath and of course doing his jump and turn in the air. They were great

entertainment. Those two could go very far in the sport.

So the itch had returned for me to start playing and then I was reminded of why I gave up the game in Spain....... Stupidity and the application on inane, nonsensical rules - rules for rules sake or worse, people just making rules up as they go along.

I witnessed Graeme being "pulled up" for "smoking" on the green. Now when you first hear that you will probably think "well of course you can’t smoke on the green. You could burn the carpet. Its common sense." Only it wasn’t what you may think.

Graeme had had the audacity to puff on an electronic cigarette, which didn’t even look like or could in anyway be mistaken for a cigarette. Indeed he had used it the whole week, then all of a sudden 4 or 5 days into the tournament, some jobs worth decided it wasn’t allowed.

So Graeme was told off during an important game for smoking on the green.

1. By definition he wasn’t smoking - He was using a device to stop him smoking. By the same nonsense logic applied here by Mr. Jobsworth, would someone chewing nicorette gum be told to

MONTEMAR BOWLS CLUB Sponsored by SUPER VALU Wednesday the 8th October saw the first Winter League Match of the Season away to BONALBA, And what a good start we had, Winning on 3 Rinks plus the Overall Shots.

Pauline Woodfine, Ethel Finan, Tony Finan, Skip Barry Woodfine 24-10. Lynne Armitage, Joan Harding, Danny King, Skip Colin Armitage 24-15. Rowena Gold, Janet Gatward, John Cooper, Skip Bill Young 1713. Shots, Bonalba 77 - Monte Mar 93.

Points, Bonalba 4 - Monte Mar 8.

I am sure that the Committee and all Club Members will want to wish the Matadores, Toreadors and our Winter League teams the very best for the coming Winter Season.

For further Information about Monte Mar Bowls and Social Club please contact Club Captain Colin Armitage 966 61 9010 ex 01066.

leave the green because he is "smoking on the green".

2. He wasn’t even "smoking" on the green he was using the electronic cigarette at the end of the green.

3. This stupidity visibly shook Graeme and effected his game 4. At the closing ceremony I witnessed the President of Emerald Isle, the same club where Graeme was told in no certain terms not to "smoke on the green" stand on the green and use his electronic cigarette. It was also interesting to note that the device he used actually looked like a cigarette.

I am asked quite regularly why I don’t the game back up. There is the reason. A lot of Bowling clubs over here are being run by people who's sole aim seems to be to do stupid things, and apply stupid rulings. I just can’t be hacked with it and I know a fair number of people who feel exactly the same way and have been pushed away from the marvellous sport.

Stupidity aside, many congratulations to the Spanish team for all they worked for.

Jas. Jackson

GREENLANDS BOWLS

By Steve Hibberd Our Winter league side visited Vistabella for the opening match of a new season, coming away with a well deserved 6-6 draw. This season, there are 5 scoring rinks instead of historically only having 4, plus an option of having 1 Berleen rink (one which Vistabella have declined ). Of the 3 winning rinks, our top scorers were S Johnson, S Heath, S Westall & T Hill (21-7), followed by G Bater, M Veale, L Greenland & S Cantley (20-13), also the narrowest of victories by D Lawton, H Cork, S Hibberd & D Greenland (15-14). Unfortunately, the overall shots went Vistabella's way, scoring a mere 3 more than their visitors.

There were 26 bowlers at the recent Saturday bottle club, which was won by T Lemon, whilst the runners up were T Paget, D Bray and C Dewar.

On Sun 10 Nov, there will be a Walking With Clues club outing. See the relevant notice in the clubhouse, or contact social sec Jill Collins for information.

Greenlands Bowls Club, is pleased to announce that any prospective new members are welcome. Please contact Hayley in the bar/restaurant area for details on membership.

CLARKES BAR G.S. This week we traveled to Vistabella for our weekly stableford competition on a warm and calm day which we hoped would lead to good scoring. The course was in its usual super condition with fast and receptive greens and well grassed fairways. Very unusually we lost 2 players to injury during the round with Martin Moon having to retire with a rib injury after only 1 hole and John Winkley retiring after 13 holes with a bad back. The scoring did prove to be quite good,on the whole, with the winner/runner up and 3rd/4th places being declared on count back but a few of our players did find the going rather difficult with 4 scores of 20 or less. Results on the day were: Nearest the pin on hole 4 was Robert Cowley Nearest the pin on hole 8 and the longest drive on hole 18 was Charlie Rodgers Nearest the pin on hole 10 in 2 was Tony Lumb Winner with 38 points was Tommy Clarke just beating Roy Welburn on count back In 3rd place was John Porter with 36 points just beating Bernard Ball on count back better back 9.

Next week we are at La Serena meet at the bar at 08:00.

Don't forget our Poppy Day appeal is coming up on November 7 at Peraleja sponsored by Mick the Grip please make every effort to attend to support this wonderful cause.

BUSTERS GS STABLEFORD

By Barry Grinsell Twenty two players travelled up the AP-7 to Alto Real for this months stableford match , everyone got there early enabling us to have a chat and a little banter , I’m not sure if another society hadn't turned up because the course was empty , we were told we could tee off earlier than our allocated time if we wanted to , this suited us so we managed to tee off 30 minutes ahead of time . The course had a few sanded patches and the front approach to a couple of the greens was under repair however the greens in general proved to be a test of our putting skills ( where existent ) .

On to our presentation , the N T P s were won by , on the 5th hole Colin Edwards , the 8th was taken by Phil Harris none of our players hit hole 10 in one and the 17th was won by Bill Peters , each player received a sleeve of three Srixon golf balls which had been generously donated by Brian Jones , two players tied for the best front nine with seventeen points , we didn't count back on the nine holes which is the norm , but Neil Metcalf received a bottle of wine and Keith Smith took a sleeve of three Srixon balls which had not been won by anyone re.

N T P on hole ten , the winner of the best back nine was Alan Gifford also with seventeen points receiving a bottle of wine , third place was taken by John Collins with thirty one points from Colin Edwards who also had thirty one points but lost to John’s better back nine , second place was won by Bill Peters with thirty two points and our winner was Dave Pretty who managed to get level par with thirty six points , the first three places received cash prizes and Neil Metcalf was the winner or our football card.

After the game we returned to the Mini Golf Bar at Quesada for our presentation and a few welcome beers , as usual we were very gratefully provided with English tapas ( sausage pieces and chips ), they tasted delicious and were eaten in record time , we bid our farewells with some of the players making arrangements to meet up on the following Monday representing the Mini Golf bar as a new team in the league .

WINTER LEAGUE Wednesday 9th October saw the start of a new

season for the Winter League. As Champions the previous year, and wanting to defend our title, San Miguel got off to a tough first game against Quesada, in lovely October sunshine. This season there are five scoring rinks and a tough battle was fought on each one, but in the end, San Miguel came out on top, winning on four rinks and losing on one, to give a good 10-2 victory against a strong Quesada team. There was also a Berleen game, which was a very close battle between the two teams, 19-19 going into the last end, but the Quesada four picked up the final 2 shots to clinch the victory. Thank you also to the four winter league members, who played a very competitive friendly game, and for their support. Well done to everyone, and long may the winning ways continue! FEDERATION San Miguel lost to Vistabella in the Final of the Federation Cup this was a 3 day round robin played at La Marina, well done to Sabrina and Russell Marks, Shirley and Noel Verity Bob Donnelly presented the trophies.

‘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.

GOLF ON THE COSTA BLANCA IS BOOMING Family and friends visiting us in our abode in Torrevieja ask if the financial situation in Spain is as bad as the newspapers say. Clearly if you have lost your job, are under 25 years old or if you spend all day going through the waste bins for something to eat or sell for a few euros then the answer I most certainly yes. However with new roads, train lines, shopping arcades and a small re-birth in construction the other signs are positive. I must report that the golf industry in this part of Spain has exploded in October with an Indian summer and vast numbers of people wishing to play golf, even at high season prices. As an agent working in the industry for many years I have never seen anything like it and trying to make a late term booking is almost impossible with most courses uttering the words ‘fully booked’ or ‘no buggies’. This can only be good for the golf courses but will be extremely frustrating for the British ex-pat looking for a cheap game of golf with his mates. Talking about cheap golf did anyone notice the ‘typo’ in my price table for Vistabella last week? Golf with buggy in October for only €21 each! You must believe in Father Christmas and the tooth fairy as well!!!

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.

FAIRWAYZ GOLF SOCIETY Only a small turn out today, 15 players on Thursday 10th October, quite a few people on holiday this week on our Golf Society day at Altorreal. But we had another lovely day of golf and good company.

Stableford was the format of the day, also the finalists of our singles knockout competition, Alex Duchart and Roger Inwards played today with the dramatic finale being played out on the 18th hole. The winner being Roger Inwards who won the game on the 18th by one shot.

Well done Roger for the win and the trophy, and well played Alex who plays off a handicap of 4, a very brave fight to the end. Stableford scores today were a mixed bunch, some good and some not so good, who knows why? Golf is a funny old game, and sometimes it's your head that makes that split second decision to try and hit the cover off the ball! We all do it, don't we?

Anyway here comes the results:- 1st - Geoff Branton 35pts. 2nd Roger Inwards 31pts. 3rd - Alex Duchart 30pts.

Best front 9 - Dave Titchen 22pts. Best back 9 - Dave Harwood 14pts.

Nearest the pin - Peter Smith. Nearest the pin in 3 - Alex Duchart.

2 ball winners were - Geoff Branton and Laurence Leitch.

Well done to all the winners today, also on behalf of the members, I would like to say a special thank you to Johnny Pedersen for co-ordinating the singles knockout competition.

Next week 17th October, we will be playing at Alenda, 9.50am 1st tee time. Please be at the course 1 hour prior to 1st tee time.

Finally, we all send our best wishes and a get well soon, to our captain Tony Macmillan who has been ill and out of action. Get well soon mate we want you back out there with us.

El Plantio 2 Golf Society.

Our competition on Tuesday 8th October was the annual Captain v Vice Captain. The format was singles match-play with many of the matches going close to the wire, Charlie Stewart, the Captain was all smiles with 2 matches still to get back to the club house, he was ahead with 4 1/2 to 3 1/2. The last two teams arrived and one match was in favour of the Captain and one in favour of the Vice -Captain, a very close finish in favour of the Captain Charlie Stewart. Result 5 1/2 pts and 4 1/2 pts As there was 17 players today, Elsa Webster had the advantage, she played with the Capt. & Vice 9 holes for the Captain and 9 holes for the Vice, so she had the unique advantage of being a winner & loser in one match, and got prizes for both, well done Elsa.

A most enjoyable game for most of the players, my match against Ray H was very tight and I was very fortunate to get into the lead on the 17 hole and finished 2 up, a great match.

The results this week were: Nearest the pin: Hole 2 Roger Marshall, hole 8 Ray Housely This weeks winners, the Captains team was: Charlie Stewart (Captain), Kenny Reddington, John O'Brien, Frank Stanhope, Keith Smith, Gordon Wayne, George Stanhope, Dave Swann, Elsa Webster & Graham Blakeway The Vice Captains team was: Gordon Abba (Vice), Ian Henderson, Ray Housely, Martin Rickman, Roger Marshall, Dave Smith, Dave Collins, Dave Vickery, Elsa Webster & Mel Hope.

THE CELTS GOLF SOCIETY V SPANISH SELECTION

Today we The Celts had a very special challenge match against a Spanish selection which included two professionals. Both teams were comprised of nine pairs who competed against each other in the four ball better ball format. The matches were orgainsed with similar handicaps within each fourball. The demand to play in this new tournament was very high and we had to have a four tee start. The format was unusual for our Spanish opponents but they soon got the swing of things and after 6 holes three matches were level three had the Spanish team ahead and three with The Celts ahead.

The temperature rose as the time passed and

the standard too, with long puts being holed out for birdies and even the occasional hole out from of the green. After nine hole again there was nothing in the overall standing of the matches. As the closing holes loomed The Celts rose to the challenge and the level matches went their way.

To win a hole birdies became the order of the day and they were flying in from all over the course. In thge last two or three holes The Celts finally achieved the necessary wins and the final result saw a win 6 matches to 3.

As a competition there were winners but I can say no losers as new friendships were forged and both teams are looking forward to a

return match in the near future. A special thanks must go to the staff at La Serena for their support. To all the players from the two teams, to Diego for arranging the game and to Manolo for the beautiful engraved trophy.

We look forward to the return match which has been proposed as a scratch match, very interesting.

Don't forget the President's prize this weekend, there are a couple of places left. If you are interested in playing golf with The Celts please contact 615466398 or johnobrienalicante@gmail.com. We are always looking for new members.

ROCKETS GOLF SOCIETY AT VISTABELLA GOLF – 8TH OCTOBER 2013 October and it’s still in the high 20’s what could be better when its Autumn?

25 members and guests played in this individual Stableford competition and it has to be said the course was in excellent condition, as always, it appears that the information on “How to Repair Pitch Marks” on the notice board seems to be working as they are appearing less and less. Thanks to Pablo and his staff for the pleasant welcome we get and to the ground staff who work so hard to keep the course in such good condition I do have one moan and that is, can the rough be allowed to grow about 4 – 5 meters from the water’s edge to stop the ball rolling into the lakes, its unfair on high handicappers who cannot long shot and on lay up’s the ball can feed into the water. Moan over!

The good course condition played its part in some of the high points scoring, not sure if there was any “sandbagging” though!

Silver winner Ron Swift must have used his lessons voucher form a low digit point’s score last month he hits back in no uncertain terms.

Mick Hithersay is getting consistent with another 33 points.

Our partner Peter Root nearly imitated his surname by visiting so many bunkers’, sorry to plant that one Pete!

POW IS REA DY TO SHINE

TORRY UNBEATEN HOME RECORD REMAINS IN TACT FC TORREVIEJA.........0 FC JOVE ESPANOL.....0

The weigh in for Saturday night’s much anticipated WBC Latino Light heavyweight title fight between local British fighter Ricky Pow and Barcelona based Cameroonian Emanuel Feuzeu will take place at Rocky’s Arena in Playa Flamenco at 3pm this coming Friday afternoon. Always theatrical affairs the weigh in will coincide with the press conference which is expected to be attended by local television as well as print and web media. The event is totally free and members of the public are encouraged to go along and support Pow and the rest of the local fighters.

All five of the professional contests taking place on the Dolores card will go through the formal weigh in procedure which will be conducted by officials of the World Boxing Council.

Saturday nights card, which gets underway at 8pm in the Dolores Municipal Sports Centre, will provide Pow with the biggest test of his short professional career which if he is to progress he cannot afford to lose.

Speaking to the Leader the fighter said that he is well prepared and he goes into the clash in confident mood. “The training has gone exceptionally well, Ive just had my last sparring session and Im now looking forward to getting in the ring and showing Feuzeu that it’s not only the major cities that can provide world champions. Although he’s never been knocked out he’s never met Ricky Pow before.”

Both boxers have been identified for their quick precision and power and as such the WBC had no hesitation in giving the green light for the match. Pow has had an impressive run in the ring making him the number one contender for the title bout. On his part, Feuzeu, who will be boxing on Valencian soil for the first time, will be looking to recover from his recent points defeat against Carlos Esteban.

On the under card the undefeated heavyweight Magomed Azuev will take on Croation number 3 Ivo Andelic over 6 rounds, the exciting super featherweight Mikael Mkrtchyan will meet Peru’s Eder Barreto over the same distance and, returning from an injury which almost cost him his sight light middleweight, Daya Nueva’s Feliks Kleins will take on Valencia’s Fran Gonzalez over 4 rounds.

Advance tickets for the show will be available at a discounted rate at both the weigh in or here at the Leader Offices. Alternatively tickets can be purchased on the night for 20 euro in the stand and 30 euro ringside.

SUDOKU SOLUTION

With ten points from their last 4 starts, which have lifted Torrevieja from midtable into a playoff position, the home side went into Sunday evenings game against 5th placed Jove Espanol in good spirits. Indeed while Torry have been moving in the right direction the visitors have picked up just 4 points from their last 12 but in Alvaro they do have the league’s second highest scorer just one ahead of Carrasco. But after last week’s hat trick against Villarreal it was no surprise to see the veteran midfielder restored to the starting line up at the expense of Dani Lucas.

However in front of perhaps their best crowd of the season Torry got off to a slow start and while the 600 fans did their utmost to spur the home side on there was little of note to cheer with both sides cancelling each other out. Only the referee saw any action, but regrettably it was little more than recording a hatful of Jove names in his little black book.

Typical to recent form when the first Torry name was entered it was the old hand Carrasco, a needless incident in which he pulled back an opponent by the shirt. Where have we recently seen that I wonder?

The best opportunities, one to either side, both occurred within seconds of each other. Segoura hit a screamer over the top of the Torry bar from 30 yards which had Carrion well beaten and then from the break Pastor had his effort cleared off the line.

Apart from those two rare chances it was the antics of the referee and his assistants that kept the crowd on its toes.

The second period proved little better and Obele made way for Rafa Gomez just 10 minutes into the half. Moments later the striker put over an excellent cross from wide which Carrasco headed past the post from close in. This was his last play of the game as he too was subbed before the restart could be made.

The referee was in action once again, this time midway through the half, following an awful tackle on Torry’s Valdeolivas. As the player was carried off the Torry players made their feelings known and rather than the deserved free kick and Jove booking it was the names of 3 Torry players that went in the referee’s notebook.

With just 10 minutes remaining then Torry went close again; this time from an Alberto cross when Micro who put his header wide and then in the final minutes of the game Gomez saw his corner rebound off the post. With neither side doing enough to win the draw was probably a fair result.

Next weekend Torry travel north to Pinosa who usually play their games on Saturday’s. Transport is being laid on by the Torry Army and can be booked through their office in San Luis.

CARRASCO HAT TRICK EARNS TORRY VICTORY VILLARREAL 'C' - 3 FC TORREVIEJA - 4 These 3 points at div 3 basement side Villarreal 'C', lifted Torry up to 4th, as they won on the road for the first time this season. Last Wednesday's lunchtime ko, saw Torry make 2 changes from the side which so convincingly beat Paterna just 4 days before. In came Dani Meseguer and Carrasco, who in my opinion, should have been starting every week, relegating Burguillos and Gasch to the bench.

A disastrous start saw Dani Meseguer concede another penalty, when he handled inside his own area. Vicente converted the spot kick, giving the hosts the lead after only 5 mins of play. Torry fought back well, Obele bringing out an excellent save from Raul, before they equalised on 22 mins. Once again Obele was in the thick of it, as his assist found Carrasco, who made no mistake with an accurate drive.

Just before half time, the Obele/Carrasco combination again paid off dividends, the latter notching his 2nd of the game to put his side ahead.

Inside 10 mins of the restart parity was restored, as Vicente added another goal to his total. After 74 mins, Obele deservedly got the goal he so richly deserved. Following an intelligent pass from Micro, he coolly slotted the ball home, giving Torry the lead once again. Their cause was helped 3 mins later, courtesy of ref Miralles issuing a 2nd yellow card to home defender Alberto. Down to 10 men, Villarreal showed true grit when that man Vicente helped himself to a hat trick, seemingly giving his side a share of the spoils on 90 mins. But deep into stoppage time, there was still one more twist to this see saw match, Gomez providing Carrasco the chance to emulate Vicente, which he gratefully accepted.
