MEETING THE NEW AMBASSADOR The Leader was amongst a select group of journalists invited to a reception in Benidorm with Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley CMG, when, just three weeks into his new role, he embarked on a tour of ex-pat rich areas of Spain to get a real feel for the people he will be looking after.

A member of the UK’s Diplomatic Service since 1990, Manley is extremely experienced, despite his relatively young age for a diplomat, and began by explaining how his knowledge and experience is already proving vital when it comes to meeting the needs of British tourists and residents in Spain, especially those who are more vulnerable.

Accompanied by the British Consul from Alicante, Paul Rodwell, the Ambassador explained how Spain is one of the most valuable countries in the world when it comes to relationships with the UK,

with “some 400 Spanish companies registered in the UK”, and “British companies exporting 9.7 billion euro worth of goods and service to Spain, making it the UK’s eighth largest export market”, and “more than 13 million Britons visiting Spain each year, plus 800,000 making the country their home, generating 1% of Spain´s GDP”.

As the Spanish coastline provides one of the most tourist rich areas of the country, including the Costa Blanca and the Andalucía coastline where Manly had been earlier in the week, the importance of representing those tourists is not only vital, but self evident.

In fact, the British Consul in Barcelona, Manley Explained, is the busiest in the entire network around the globe.

The Ambassador continued to explain that whilst visiting Málaga, Barcelona, Alicante and Benidorm, he has been visiting numerous charity groups, local authorities, hospitals and with diplomats from the Spanish cities, looking at the areas of expertise where support is provided to British people whilst in Spain.

YOUNG POLICE OFFICER DIES IN TRAINING SCHOOL A 34 year old serving police officer has died whilst attending target practice in the National Police training academy at Ávila.

Rubén Bregón Casado, who was stationed in the Comisaría de Puente de Vallecas in Madrid, died on Monday. The cause of his death is said to have been due to a coronary obstruction caused by a congenital defect.

Reports from witnesses say that he collapsed whilst on his way to shooting practice and, despite attempts to resuscitate the officer, his colleagues could do nothing to save his life.

His body was transferred, at the request of his family, to his home city of Valladolid, where his funeral will be held on Wednesday.

In a statement, The National Police Academy said that they wish to express their deep regret and held an intimate act in memoriam with the presence of all its staff and students, in recognition of an outstanding and dedicated police officer.

Director of Spanish Property Auctions Timothy Baldwin has been involved in the Auction business for many years before moving to Spain over 12 years ago.

Having successfully launched the property selling company “Spanish Homes Just For you” in the late 2001, then started selling Spanish properties to the UK market and beyond.

In recent years the property market in Spain experienced many trends and dramatic downturns due to the recession and more.

So Timothy had a vision of Live property auctions, and wanted to be “one step ahead of his competitors” and this lead to the launch of Spanish Property Auctions. The process holds Live Auctions at their newly refurbished offices throughout the year bringing the “buyer to the seller” achieving fast results, helping clients in situations where other avenues have been unable to. Now in its 4th year Spanish Property Auction is a successful thriving business.

Property entries are now being invited for future Live Auctions. All available properties on www.spanishpropertyauctions.com can be bought before, on the day, or after the Live Auction process. The current trend that we are seeing is that properties are having bids submitted on them before the Live Auction and deals being secured and signed some within a 4 week period.

Spanish Property Auction have the most competi-

tive prices in the market place today, and provide a professional service and non-bias advice. If you want to sell your property and want a quick sale then contact the only No1 selling Live Auction Property Company on the Costa Blanca on 0034 966 761 189 or call to see the team for a chat.

SPAIN TO CELEBRATE NINE NATIONAL HOLIDAYS IN 2014 The Government are still considering moving some days to avoid the increasing habit of ‘bridging’ .

According to the Official State Gazette published on behalf of the Dirección General de Empleo, the 2014 working year will provide for nine national holidays, or “red days”, with only three of them falling on a weekend.

The nine days are formed of eight days which cannot be moved, plus a ninth, the 6th of January, which was considered optional, but no region has taken up the option to move or ignore it.

The first holiday is New Year´s Day on Wednesday the 1st of January, then Thee King´s Day or the Epiphany on the 6th, a Monday.

March is the next month of note, but not for the whole of Spain, with the Valencia region celebrating San José, on the 19th, which is Spanish Father´s Day incidentally, also a holiday in Murcia and Navarre.

The next holiday is for Easter with Good Friday on the 18th of

April, as Maundy Thursday is not celebrated in all regions, Valencia being one who chooses not to recognise this day, but then we did have the extra day in March, the other region where this day is not recognised being Catalonia.

On the 1st of May, Labour Day is celebrated, this year on a Thursday, which will no doubt also see numerous people taking the Friday off as a “bridging” day to make a long weekend.

As we pass through to summer, we move into August, when on Friday the 15th, the religious celebrations of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary are recognised.

In October, the National Day of Spain is celebrated on the 12th, but this day falls on a Sunday in 2014, so no extra day off there, although the day after, the 13th, is a holiday in some communities, particularly in Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Castilla y León and Extremadura.

In November, All Saints day falls on a Saturday, the 1st of the

month.

December brings Spanish Constitution day on the 6th, also a Saturday, with the Immaculate Conception celebrated two days later on Monday the 8th of December. Not forgetting of course, the big day of the December month, Christmas Day, 2014, which is on Thursday, the 25th of December.

Therefore, in conclusion, the nine national holidays for 2014 are Wednesday January 1st, Monday January 6th, Friday April 18th, Thursday May 1st, Friday August 15th, Saturday November 1st, Saturday December 6th, Monday December 8th and Thursday December 25th.

The Government are still considering trying to move certain days to avoid the “bridging” concept that created long weekends, with August 15th (Assumption), November 1st (All Saints Day) and December 6th (Day of the Spanish Constitution), being the three that they are first looking into.

NEW VEHICLES FOR TORREVIEJA POLICE

In September of this year, we reported difficulties with police vehicles used by Torrevieja´s local police, saying, “this week saw four of their police patrol vehicles disappear from the parking lot in front of the station”, all of which had suffered the expiration of the lease, continuing to explain that Torrevieja “had already lost three vehicles earlier in the year, now totalling a reduction of six patrol cars and the GRO vehicle”, now, this week, the balance has been addressed, with the acquisition of 17 new vehicles.

In a statement from the town hall, they say that the entire fleet has now been renewed, with an investment of 734,368 euro on a four year lease agreement.

Of the 17 new vehicles, 14 are police patrol cars, 5 of them fitted with screens and special protection elements to prevent potential attacks from detainees, as well as 3 vans, 2 of which will be assigned to the GRO task force.

The Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, explained the benefits of the vehicles, all of which have the latest technology, including GPS tracking devices, and are Ford Model C -MAX cars with diesel engines, allowing significant fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions, thus making the police fleet “more respectful of the local environment”.

ORIHUELA OPPOSITION POLITICIANS FACE LEGAL CHARGES When the newly widened N332 road reopened in 2009, being completed in 2010, as the praise on the efforts to ease the burden of traffic was levied and accepted by those in power, a secret matter was waiting to return to haunt those involved for years to come.

In 2008 land owners who saw their ground snapped up as part of the widening scheme were given a financial award for their loss, but the courts would later decree that the amount given was not enough, the announcement being made earlier this year that Orihuela would have to pay 1.2 million euro to make up for the errors of that period.

The Partido Popular were running the government team at the time of the opening of the road, replaced by what is now a coalition of the Los Verdes and PSOE, but it is the municipality who faces the threat of legal action should the government not respond immediately.

Despite not expecting to pay such a huge amount during their administration, the bipartite team have managed to set aside the money to pay the court allocated costs, but despite their now best intentions, the now opposition party of the PP, along with CLARO, look set to further complicate matters, forcing the government team to launch their own legal action to enable them to try to pay.

The Mayor of the municipality, Monserrate Guillén of Los Verdes, appeared with the councillor for Finance, socialist Carolina Gracia, to announce that the Superior Tribunal of Justice has given the City of Orihuela twenty days to pay the 1.2 million euro.

Guillén continued to explain that the money is available in the municipal accounts, but the government are unable to make the payment “without prior approval”, for which they need a majority vote, which would have to include support from the PP or CLARO members. However, as the Partido Popular and CLARO alliance has said that they will block any plans by the government, using their majority to rule from opposition, the government has had to advise the court of the fact that they are paralysed and unable to take the appropriate action.

The Mayor explained that the bipartite team presented a supplement in June to cover the payment, but the initiative was rejected by all PP councillors, as well as Bob Houliston and Asunción Mayoral from the CLR group, in a move that he says shows an “intolerable lack of responsibility”.

Therefore, the government team concluded their announcements to state that they have now filed a complaint in the courts, as the government consider that those members whose actions in prevented this legally required notion, have potentially “committed a crime of disobedience”.

Gracia continued to explain that the complaint has been filed under Article 410 of the Penal Code which specifies that a person holding a post in public office who “knowing that a vote is denying the charge against a judicial decision may incur a crime”, also explaining that this case was “one of the legacies of the PP and we wanted to settle it”, noting that the facts date back to 2008 when the expropriated owners had not been paid the actual value of their land.

The government intend to raise the matter once more in this week´s monthly plenary session, to which Gracia has said that if the refusal of the PP persists the only possible solution is to extend the complaint already filed against them.

COURTS RE-OPEN ORIHUELA CORRUPTION CASE The courts have revisited an historic case in which a former mayor of Orihuela, José Manuel Medina, was listed under the original investigation.

The case, which was nicknamed “caso Orihuela”, investigated alleged irregularities during the administration of Medina, resulting in more than a dozen summaries, most of which were closed, although one of them resulted in his conviction for breach of trust, for which he was sentenced to 7 years disqualification from office, a ruling currently under the appeals process with the Provincial Court of Alicante.

Now, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor has reopened one of the filed cases, which investigates if Medina concealed the ordering and paying for services by the City, in which three companies are cited, all of which were regular contractors of the municipality, all of whom have been paid thousands of euro for services provided directly to the town hall, rather than the work being tendered for by public submission.

Numerous commentators have indicated in the past that Medina maintained a “very close” relationship with some of those businesses, some of whom were inherited from the previous legislatures because they were supplying common services such as Christmas lights, which would, under the normal practice, have been awarded for a period of a number of years, as it is seasonal. This kind of long-term provisional contract is one of the elements that the current government, under the Los Verdes mayoral management of Monserrate Guillén, are trying to end.

Guillén was instrumental in raising awareness of the case in 2005, but the original proceedings only seemed to point to Medina. Now, the Anti-Corruption prosecutor has not only asked for Median to return to give evidence, but also wants to

talk to current serving PP members, Araceli Vilella and José Antonio Aniorte, Aniorte who had previously held the post of Councillor for the Coast.

José Manuel Medina Cañizares took over from his Partido Popular colleague, Luis Fernando Cartagena Travesedo, in 1995, to be replaced by Mónica Lorente, also of the PP, in 2007, before the current government team took over in 2011.

FORMER MAYOR STILL FREE PENDING NEPHEW’S CLEMENCY CALL

D

uly appearing just before 11:00 last Monday, the former mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro Hernández Mateo, entered the administration of the High Court of Valencia in order to receive the instruction that he was to begin a three year prison sentence having been found guilty at every level of the judicial process of rigging a contract worth nearly 100 million euro. A few minutes later, he left the building once again, having apparently filed a claim for the suspension of his sentence whilst the judiciary consider a petition started by his nephew to keep him from going to prison.

The petition had been gaining support through social network sites, as well as in bars and other establishments in the city of Torrevieja, but then claims of bullying and harassment suggested that the campaign was being run with something of an iron fist, with social groups apparently under threat of the withdrawal of subsidies and grants if they didn´t sign, all whilst an opposing campaign insisting he served the sentence for his crimes was also gaining momentum.

The Regional Partido Popular issued a statement saying that they do not support the petition for clemency, but they would leave it to their individual members as to whether or not they sign, to which former Orihuela based politician Andrés Ballester took it upon himself to rally support from his fellow deputies.

The Opposition Group say they are appalled Prior to reaching the Valencia parliament, Ballester was an active politician in the Partido Popular of Orihuela, so much so, he was a potential candidate to replace former mayor, Mónica Lorente, to which he said at the time, “We need a change in Orihuela and especially in the PP”, with support based around the alleged connections between the infamous Brugal corruption case and Lorente. Although he distanced himself from those claims at the time, despite saying he knew who was behind the campaign. Ballester was also not particularly popular in Orihuela, being opposed to the Rabaloche Health Care centre.

However, on “humanitarian” grounds, Ballester claimed that he had collected 40 signatures of the

54 deputies, whilst saying that Hernández Mateo is not a murderer, nor has he even been found guilty of taking public money. It is true that the question of what motivates a criminal to commit their crimes may have baffled criminologists throughout history, in this particular case the guilty verdict is that he used his power to influence the award of the 100 million euro contract. “I do not like anyone to go to jail for political reasons”, is what Ballester said on Friday, stating that “Everyone was has signed have done so by their own free will”.

President of the Valencia PP, Alberto Fabra, who was adamant that his party would shake the historic shackles of corruption and legal allegations, even being the person who has banned members who are even simply under suspicion by the courts from standing for election, as is the case with former mayor of Orihuela, Mónica Lorente, finally offered a statement, again distancing both himself and his party from the campaign for freedom, saying, “These issues are personal”, although he did go on to offer some criticism of the attitude of the “deputy” who initiated the petition because “it is an internal matter”. That was later to be denied also, with no action to be taken against anybody.

It may well be a personal choice to support clemency and freedom, whilst the party can still stand behind their new found anti-corrupt morals; after all, there are 8 of those 54 PP deputies who are themselves currently facing court cases. In fact, as reported on numerous occasions in the past, throughout the political membership of the PP in the Valencia Region, there are currently over 100 cases pending against Partido Popular officials, proportionally more than just about any other area.

These cases are

all for alleged corruption, but others are still making the headlines, such as Beatriz Rodríguez Castañeda, PP councillor for Campazas, arrested this week with a kilo of marijuana in her vehicle, and then on a national level, whilst the courts are investigating corruption on a major scale, the first admittance came on Friday that there were “hidden” accounts and statements, as per the now infamous “Bárcenas” case, all of which will no doubt be both embarrassing and potentially damaging for their political future promise of transparency and cleanliness.

Meanwhile, opposition to floundering the legal decisions is growing, with the Torrevieja group of the Unión, Progreso y Democracia party has issued a statement appalled by the Valencian parliament being used as a means of gaining support for corrupt politicians.

Even if the option for clemency is legal and valid, the group argue that there is no reason why Pedro Ángel Hernández Mateo should not enter prison pending the outcome of the appeal. The court has already said that they will make the decision on his freedom “soon”, but the reality is that he could remain free for up to another year, despite every

level of the judicial and appeals process supporting both his conviction and the sentence given when he was found guilty in November of 2012.

Local coordinator for the UPyD, José Serna, says that whilst the PP in Valencia have been busy collecting signatures to support a pardon for their colleague, they are “not asking for signatures to get the food in school canteens or free buses to go to school. Nor are they asking for support to reduce waiting lists and improve health care or to increase pensions”.

The socialist PSPV-PSOE has announced the introduction of a parliamentary initiative to ban the option of seeking a political pardon by anyone who committed crimes of corruption. In this proposal, the secretary general, Ximo Puig, notes that this attitude of the PP shows that the political group “protects corruption before, during and after”, and “far from apologising”, they instead, “now drive a campaign for a pardon”.

Los Verdes in Valencia also launched a petition via the on-line website change.org, the results which echoed a straw poll by a regional Spanish newspaper, showing that members of the voting public, all of who were lending their names, were increasingly insistent on the fact that prison should be served.

Continued from Page One At the same time, his team has been looking at improving methods of communication and making the most of new technology to pass important advice to both travelers and foreign residents on other countries.

In fact, this week has seen the launch of two new methods for the dissemination of information, using two of the most popular social networks in use at the moment. On Facebook, a new page has been created called “Brits living in Spain”, whereas Twitter users should follow @BritsliveSpain, for which the Ambassador said, “apologies for the grammar”, but the important fact is that the two new channels are able to provide information to a large number of people in one go.

When asked if the immediacy of Facebook and Twitter is a valuable element, Manly responded in a positive, explaining how during the Boston Marathon terrorist attack, information was being quickly fed both from the scene and to those affected by the incident, in real time, to make sure that everybody was aware of what was happening quickly, but with the minimum of effort. Manly was previously the FCO’s head of Counter-Terrorism Policy from 2006 to 2008, before becoming the Director Defence and Strategic Threats from 2008 to 2011.

With more people using Facebook and Twitter than ever before, both young and old, it is important that as many people as possible “like” and “follow” these official channels, as the more who do, the richer the experience and flow of information will be, Manly explained.

Part of the information availability and flow is important for those looking to visit a foreign country or live abroad, but it is more important for travellers to be prepared themselves, whether that be “making sure you have travel insurance, making sure the cover is adequate for your trip, a policy might seem cheap, but will it cover you in the event of an incident?”, Manly explained, “Signing on the padrón is important, learning a bit of Spanish”, he continued, in fact, when faced with potential problems, although it might be instinctive to assume the diplomatic service will help, “the solutions lie in your own hands”.

Paul Rodwell, the British Consul in Alicante, who has himself been to a property show In Birmingham recently to promote the values of Spain, explained that often when major problems occur, there is little that the diplomatic services can actually do. “We know that there are many people who have been on a ten year holiday”, but when the Spanish administrations then find it difficult to help an individual who is not registered on their system, similarly, it is extremely difficult for the UK authorities to act too.

Monday, 25th November, 2013 In fact, both the Ambassador and the Consul were consistent in their message, that when moving to or planning to live in Spain, not only is your own research important before you take the plunge, once here, the first contact should always be your local town hall. Building a relationship with the town hall is important, as is getting registered on the padrón, at the very least, to ensure that you are entitled to services that are available for free in Spain, such as health and welfare, before any risk of a problem occurs. As Rodwell explained, “being in limbo is not cool”.

Despite a range of problems highlighted in a variety of newspapers and TV shows, Spain offer a “wonderful” opportunity for retirement, or a “wonderful” holiday, but do your own checks and get registered

is the message.

Although still new to the job, the Ambassador said that he himself has been impressed by the warmth in which he has been welcomed, as well as the keenness of those he has met to develop, and, although “every day is different, he concluded that for him, already, “It´s a great job”.

LEARNING THE LINGO PART 1 One of the things about living in Spain is that in order to communicate with agencies and public bodies one needs to be proficient in Spanish.

It is evident that when one lives in a country with a language other than your own that it is in ones best interest to try and learn the language so that one can integrate effectively. To this end there are numerous classes and teachers that help foreign residents to learn Spanish.

When many expats purchased their property they did not expect to be living in areas totally consisting of other expats. Most people moved here with expectations that a fair number of their neighbours would be Spanish people. However, for the majority of residents living on Orihuela Costa this is not the case. Estate agents sold homes to anyone with the cash to buy them and at the time that Orihuela Costa was going through its rapid growth period the people who wanted to buy property mainly came from northern Europe, with English and Irish people purchasing the greatest number of properties. The consequence of this has resulted in Orihuela Costa having over 80% of its residents originating from outside Spain.

People have accused immigrants who have made their home on Orihuela Costa of wanting to live in Little England or Little Ireland, but for the majority of residents this is far from the truth. At the time of purchase of their Spanish home most people did not look at the composition of the local population but made their purchase decision on factors such as location, climate, cost and easy access to the airport. It was only after purchase and the uptake of Spanish residency that many investors realised that they were living in a location that did little to reflect Spain and a Spanish way of life.

The effects of Orihuela Costa being over 80% non Spanish has made learning the language nothing more than an academic exercise for the majority of expats. People attend classes then have limited or no opportunity to practice their hard won vocabulary and Spanish grammar. Classes resemble the experiences of many older British people when they were back at school in their teens and trying to learn French. Classes are totally insignificant to daily life, the language is learnt rote fashion and people stumble over words and phrases they only ever use when in the classroom. From one class to the next there is very limited opportunity to make even the most tentative use of the language never mind the opportunity to become proficient in even the most rudimentary type of conversations.

The majority of expats read newspapers in their own language and have their televisions tuned to channels from their home country or in a language where they have greater proficiency. Expats who have attempted to watch Spanish television have found the experience far from satisfactory, not liking the domination of chat shows, reality shows or films being interrupted by advertisement breaks lasting over quar-

ter of an hour and dominating the last part of a film. Although it is quite understandable why people prefer watching television in their native language opportunities to develop comprehension skills in Spanish are lost.

It is not the fault of residents of Orihuela Costa that the area is 80% non Spanish people. It is the fault of politicians based in Orihuela that they have totally failed to address the needs of this large expat population. Politicians who live on Orihuela Costa and have understanding of the large non Spanish and minority Spanish community living on the coast are essential. Your vote matters.

ORIHUELA AND COSTA NEWS ROUNDUP

Although the plenary hall is sometimes attended by a small number of adults who act no better than children, this week, the youngest residents of Orihuela really did take their place in the political forum as the Sixth Children´s Plenary was held to commemorate the Convention on the Rights of Children. Following a presentation by the president of Unicef in Orihuela, Concha Montijano, as well as the mayor, Monserrate Guillén, the group took about proposing the appointment of a secretary and partaking in a variety of other similar activities, before reading out articles of the convention dealig with the rights to education, they then asking questions of the real politicians, who also included Emilio Zaplana and Rosa Martínez.

Councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, has announced that permission has now been granted by the Ministry of Public Works to enable her department to act on a project to improve accessibility in the vicinity of the Playa Flamenca town hall, including the N332 underpasses, the pedestrian crossings and the ramped access to the town hall itself. Scheurer said that “this work will be used to improve road safety”, especially where walkways are too narrow for pedestrians, and easing the passage through the pavements in areas which are “dangerous”. “This work has been planned for some time, but we were still waiting for the permit”, Scheurer said, but the administrative process is already complete so it is possible that the work could be finished before Christmas.

The departments of Employment, Development and Environment in Orihuela have signed a collaboration cooperative, whereas a number of unemployed people from the municipality will benefit from collecting redundant domestic appliances. The project, which is being overseen by Cáritas, will help six people who they consider to be at “risk of social exclusion”. Councillor Manuel Gallud, who runs both departments, explained that the cooperative began in San Vicente del Raspeig, where a workshop was created that saw used appliances collected. Those that could be repaired or already worked were sold on, those which didn´t were dismantled and sold for spare parts or scrap. Residents who want to dispose of an appliance can call 965176642 or write to the email address info@proyectogema.org and the cooperative workers will collect the items. More details are also available on the website, www.proyectogema.org.

Councillor for Equality, Emilio Zaplana, has this week presented the statistics of interactions by the domestic violence support team in the municipality, revealing that they took part in 122 interventions, of which 88 were female victims, including 82 with a previous complaint, and 34 were minors, a figure that represents “little change from last year”. By nationality, 53 of the women were Spanish and the rest were of foreign nationality, including 8 from the UK, 18 from South American countries, 5 Moroccans and 4 Europeans. In total, 52 of the cases were in the city of Orihuela, 18 in the villages and the same number on the Orihuela Costa.

The Municipal Sports Centre on the Orihuela Costa has announced an event to mark their 3rd anniversary, which will be held on the 6th of December at the centre. A number of activities have already been arranged, including a Football Tournament, for both children and adults, a drawing contest, a padel tournament, music, inflatables and much more, including the addition this year of an “EXTREME ACTIVE ZONE”, featuring various workshops and activities presented by skaters and extreme street sports enthusiasts, helping those who are interested to become “skateboard wizards”. Registration information for all activities is available at the centre, as well as via the town hall, for an event that promises a warm welcome to all.

Andalucian singer, Paco Damas, performed a concert this week to around 500 students from various schools in Orihuela, in which he played musical poems dedicated to women, interspersed with readings from a number of students, all aimed at promoting and nurturing the visibility of women in culture and education, recovering the memory of many forgotten poets and paving the way for equality and nonviolence, as the concert was organized by the Department of Culture as part the commemoration of the International Day Against Gender Violence, celebrated on the 25th of November.

The government team of Orihuela has approved payment for outstanding bills valued at onver a million euro, of which 263,000 euro is for Iberdrola, the electricity supply company, and two payments of 349,435 and 215,268 euro to the company which manages the landfill to which Orihuela´s solid waste is sent, Novalis. On a much smaller scale, a provision of 2,525 euro towards the annual children´s crib competition was also approved, as well as a number of smaller incentives and adjustments.

ALICANTE-ELCHE AIRPORT STILL LOW COST FAVOURITE

Alicante-Elche airport has welcomed 17% more “low cost” passengers in October, carrying 76.4% of all passenger movements in the Valencia area, with a total of 455,244 passengers coming into the region from foreign lands.

In fact, over the entire year so far, Alicante-Elche has seen a total of 3.2 million “low cost” passenger movements, representing an increase of 13% compared to the same period of 2012, whereas in the regional capital´s airport at Manises, they suffered a 2.3% drop, with a total of 980,209 passengers.

Not only is that a welcome statistic to both the airport and the area, the region alone is responsible for 56.5% of all air passengers into and out of the entire country, with Alicante-Elche now firmly fixed as the fourth busiest airport in Spain, behind Barcelona-El Prat, Palma de Mallorca and Málaga, for budget travel.

Meanwhile, passenger numbers in the country´s capital have continued a dramatic decline, with

Madrid-Barajas showing an 18.1% drop in the volume of passengers carried by low cost airlines between January and October, standing at 2.4 million travellers, according to figures released Monday by the Institute of Tourism on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. As for October, the fall was slightly less dramatic, but still showing a 12% drop, with 259,738 passengers carried on low cost routes.

Madrid is also suffering passenger number declines from traditional carriers too, with a drop of 8.8% to 9.26 million passengers, again not quite so bad in October, with 925,473 passengers marking a drop of 6.5%.

So far this year, the Spanish airports most used by low cost airlines were the Barcelona-El Prat, with 6.2 million passengers and an increase of 6.5%, Palma de Mallorca with 5.7 million passengers and an increase of 8.2%, Málaga saw 3.7 million passengers which is up 9.6%, and then, Alicante, as mentioned, with their 3.2 million passengers representing an increase of 13%.

Anybody who has had to endure wasted days and hours at the Alicante Trafico office may breathe a sigh of relief to hear that the DGT has implemented a new system at the office, which they say will make queuing a thing of the past.

This week, Alicante has joined the scheme which has been running as a tester in a number of offices, whereas appointments are now required for those wishing to attend their office. This method of operation is now in place in 19 of their offices across Spain, which has stopped the endless waits and often having to leave without being seen, thus returning the next day to try again, as the appointment scheme provides a better control of work and time.

The system is being progressively implemented across the DGT network, for offices that deal with penalties, vehicle registrations, driver enquiries and the likes, with over a quarter of a million satisfied customers already being dealt with by the appointment method.

Appointments can be made by telephoning the DGT, or by visiting the website, although a suitable standard of understanding of Spanish is of course required. Those with the confidence to book an appointment can visit the DGT´s website, www.dgt.es, then click on the large button marked “Cita previa para trámites”, or telephone their central office on 060.

BULLFIGHTER GUILTY OF ANIMAL CRUELTY It is thought that this is the first time that a Matador has been sentenced in Spain for animal abuse

Bullfighter José Antonio Canales Rivera has been found guilty of a crime of animal abuse, and sentenced to pay a 600 euro fine for causing an injury to his horse which resulted in bleeding from the nose.

The Observatorio Justicia y Defensa Animal group had reported the bullfighter to the environmental office of Cádiz, with several witness testimonies reporting the incident.

The incident occurred in February when his horse was found to have numerous injuries to his nose when it was seen in one of the stable blocks at an equestrian club in the province of Cádiz. According to witnesses, the injuries were “bleeding and deep”, in a crescent shape above the nose.

Witnesses testify that the injuries were caused by so-called “live sparring”, which is an “abusive and cruel punishment” caused by “instruments manufactured with iron spikes that are placed directly on the skin of the horse's muzzle”.

Experts gave evidence that “the slightest move against the will of the rider”, results in “sharp riveted iron teeth pressing into the horse´s mouth, a particularly sensitive area because it has many nerve endings”.

Canales Rivera attended the trial at court in Puerto Real in Cádiz, where, according to the animal welfare group, has accepted the facts and the charge against him.

The bullfighter then accepted a consent decree imposing a fine of 600 euro, which, according to the animal welfare group, is the first time that “a matador has been sentenced in Spain for animal abuse”.

A prominent celebrity in Spain, Canales Riviera recently appeared on Splash, a celebrity diving show, as well as a variety of televised celebrity specials.

EASY HORSE CARE RESCUE CENTRE AND POLICE IN COMBINED OPERATION

The EHCRC from Rojales were out rescuing equines in distress again last week.

Sue Weeding, co founder of the centre received a call from the Policia Local in Callosa de Segura who advised her that they had responded to information from the public about a horse and pony on scrubland that were not being cared for properly.

The owner had been ordered by the police to release the animals because they were being mistreated.

Sue Weeding explains, “When we arrived with the horsebox the police officer escorted us to where the horse and pony were tied to a tree. He stayed with us while we lead the animals to safety into the horsebox. The mare was so weak through dehydration and lack of food that she fell down while we were walking her to safety. The pony, we noticed, has a deformed nose caused we believe by a tight-

ly fitted head collar which he must have been wearing for a very long time.

Further examination at the rescue centre the following day revealed that both animals were riddled with worms.Thankfully there do not appear to be any other problems affecting the horse and pony. They will now stay with us here for the rest of their lives, safe and secure.

Sue adds, “What is so positive and pleasing now is that the police, both the Guardia Civil Seprona and local police forces on the Costa Blanca and inland, are taking action when they are alerted to horses in distress. They are contacting us to see if we can help them instead of looking the other way. This bodes very well for the future of animal welfare in Spain and is something we have been working towards for many years.”

If you want to come and meet the two new arrivals and the other 61 equines at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre they have an open day every Sunday from 1pm - 4pm where you can enjoy refreshments and food in the garden cafe and go on the horse tour at 2pm. Entrance is Free.

Not to be missed on December 13th is the Christmas Carol Concert featuring Cathy Carson and the TAABS Singers. Mince Pies, Mulled Wine, Roasted Chestnut, Hot and Cold Food and refreshments can be purchased on the night, entrance is Free. There will be mini “Reindeer” and a Prize Draw plus much more. The fun starts at 6pm and is scheduled to finish at 9pm.

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ By Bar rie Mahoney Barrie Mahoney was a head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands to launch and edit a new English language newspaper. He enjoys life in the sun as a columnist and author, and continues to write a series of popular novels, books for expats, as well as designing mobile apps and websites to promote the Canary Islands.

A Cat Among the Canaries A recent proposal by Spain's Rationalisation of Timetables Association has led the Spanish government in Madrid to debate whether the clocks should be put back an hour to increase productivity and sleeping hours. This suggestion has really put the cat among the Canarians.

The President of the Canarian Government, Paulino Rivero, is very concerned that the islands would “lose their constant mention” in Spain’s media if the clocks here were to be the same as the Spanish Peninsular, and lose valuable advertising for the islands in the process. Incidentally, true Canarias never refer to the ‘Spanish Mainland’ but refer to it as the ‘Spanish Peninsular’, since real Canarians already regard themselves as being ‘on the main land’ anyway.

The Canarian President’s comments are interesting, because anyone who has switched on Spanish news on the radio or television are likely to be familiar with the phrase "One hour less in the Canaries."

The Canary Islands and their connection with time is a fascinating one, and has an important place in both Canarian and World history; so this is the part where the history and geography lesson begins...

The Greenwich Meridian is an imaginary and arbitrary line that cuts through Spain, UK, France, Algeria and Ghana. It divides the Earth

into east and west in much the same way as the Equator divides it into north and south. It enables us to navigate the globe, as well as synchronising the world’s clocks. However, this has not always been the case.

Before the important decision around 125 years ago to make Greenwich the centre of world time, many countries and, indeed, large towns kept their own local time. Prior to the important meeting in Washington that took place in 1884 there were, in Europe alone, some 20 different meridians, and you can imagine the confusion.

In AD 127, the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy, selected the Fortunate Islands (the Canaries) as the physical location of the prime meridian when he created an accurate grid system upon which the location of individual cities from the farthest known land west to the farthest known land east could be accurately placed. From that time onwards, early Mediterranean navigators used the meridian through the Canaries, as their first, or prime, meridian as they were then thought to be the most western part of the habitable world.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, when the peoples of Western Europe began to trade by sea, almost every maritime nation used a meridian passing through its own territory as its prime meridian. The French, for instance, used Paris; the Dutch used Amsterdam; and the British used the London meridian. This plethora of prime meridians led to considerable confusion.

The International Meridian Conference of 1884 produced many different views, based upon national self-interest. The final conclusion was to make Greenwich the standard for setting time with a vote of 22 to one, with only San Domingo voting against and Brazil and France abstaining. France suggested that the new agreed meridian should run through the Canary Islands, which was not French awkwardness, but a suggestion that was soundly based upon the prime meridian as determined by Ptolemy back in AD 127.

Interestingly, Spain moved the clocks forward during the time of the Second World War when the dictator Franco decided to shift to the same time zone as Hitler’s Germany. However, in the Canary Islands, the decision was made by King Alfonso XIII in 1922 to be in the same

Greek astronomer, Ptolemy

time zone as London. This decision followed pressure from Britain, which had a large commercial trade network in the Canary Islands.

Although the Canary Islands are 2,000 kilometres southwest from Spain’s capital, Madrid, the archipelago is currently in the same time zone as London, which is Greenwich Mean Time. However, due to the archipelago’s position, the islands should really be one hour behind Greenwich Mean Time, because of its more westerly position in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s all a bit of a mess really; however, on some issues, it is better to remain quiet.

SIMPLE W AYS TO STAY POSITIVE

23

By Penny Wing

We can’t always control events in our lives but we can control our reactions to these events. Whilst those of us with a more positive outlook on life find it easy to “think” ourselves better, it is often harder for those people who always expect a negative outcome. The good news is that it is possible to change your way of thinking if you want to, it just takes practice!

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS This is such an easy thing to do; repeating a positive phrase about yourself or a situation can have an amazing effect on how you feel.

Many of my clients have found this hard to believe initially but after doing it for some time they have seen the results.

Decide what it is you want to say about yourself or the situation and then say it every day out loud, preferably in front of a mirror. If you find this uncomfortable just do it anywhere; it will become easier and more convincing the more you do it.

You can also write the affirmation down on a piece of paper and carry it around with you during the day and refer to it regularly. When you notice a change in how you feel, change the affirmation if you need to.

Keep affirmations short and simple and always use only positive words e.g., “I am in good health” is more effective than “I don’t want to be ill, please keep me healthy”; – use words that suit you and reflect what you want. Say the affirmation as if you have those qualities or things now.

POSITIVE VISUALISATION The more you worry about something the worse it appears, you avoid dealing with it and the fear and anxiety surrounding it becomes bigger. One way to deal with this negative energy is to imagine or mentally “see” a positive result.

Start by sitting quietly where you won’t be disturbed and visualise yourself dealing with the situation in a calm manner and with a successful outcome. Really try to create as detailed a scene as possible e.g. if you need to sell your house start to visualise someone coming to view it, making you an offer, going to the notary together, signing the paperwork and so on. .

REALISTIC GOALS Why do we push ourselves so hard? There is only so much we can do in one day. Rather than set yourself 20 things to do and feel upset when you don’t do them all, reduce the number of things to 10 and when you have done them all “pat yourself on the back” and acknowledge what you have achieved. Don’t rush from one task to another, sit still for 5 minutes, close your eyes and concentrate on this positive feeling before moving onto the next job. Regularly find time in between jobs to congratulate yourself and feel positive about yourself.

PAST MISTAKES We always seem to be able to remember the mistakes we have made in the past more easily than the achievements or successes. This can be one of the most challenging thought processes to change…but you can!

Firstly, you need to accept that the past is past and you cannot change it. When you think back to a mistake you have made, take time to sit down and write down all the things you learnt from it. Ask yourself would you do the same thing again and invariably the answer will be no; you will then be able to acknowledge that even though it may have been hard at the time you have learnt a valuable lesson and are now more than able to cope with difficult situations. Turn negative into positive!

180s: Joe Miller, Shaun Smith (Hyenas), Derek Kingsbury, Patrick Abrams, Paul Durrant (Meerkats), Sid Cross x2 (Hattons Hunks), Mark Filer (Busters) Highest finish: Alex Nikolov (Meerkats) 141 Hattons Hunks needed a victory over league leaders Hub Meerkats to keep in touch with the top 4, or at least a draw. The outcome, a home defeat leaves them 3 points adrift from the table toppers. The match itself was a pretty average affair, the Kats once again under performing and the Hunks not living up to expectations. Two highlights spring to mind, the first a second maximum of the season from former Meerkat Sid Cross, who can really play a bit when he puts his mind to it. The second occurred at half time when Geordie boy, Eddie Bendelow was a little too eager to finish his excellent chicken curry.

A piece of meat lodged in his throat and he was unable to breathe or swallow. Enter super hero Alex Nikolov to administer the Heimlich manoeuvre. Now my version of this is the aide places his arms around the victims waist below the rib cage and pulls his arms up sharply inward and upward to dislodge the problem. Nikolov´s version his arms were a little too high resulting in cracked ribs for Eddie after the first three attempts. When advised to place his arms lower, little Eddie was hoisted 4ft in the air and will probably never father children in the future. The outcome was Geordie boy surviving after numerous coughs and spluttering much to the amusement of both sides. Stewart McCulloch´s curry was totally exonerated from blame, Nikolov polishing off Bendelow´s remains.

The match itself started well for the Kats with five scores of 95 plus, Hunks only reply was from McCulloch 100, Nikolov getting D10 to finish the leg. The Hunks bounced straight back with tons from Cross and Keith King finishing D4. The next three went the visitors way through Nikolov 100,D16, Derek Kingsbury D4 and Paul Durrant D10. Rob Hawkins replied for the hosts with a 95 and double in the pairs for a 2-4 half time score line. Cross faced next door neighbour and friend Durrant in the second single and promptly threw a 180, there was little response from his opponent until requiring 122 which was missed on the bull. Cross by this time must have been exhausted

throwing for a double and let in Durrant on D4 for the robbery of the week. Rob Hawkins figured next for the Hunks and acquitted himself well with a 140 and D20 for 3-6. Meerkat captain Kingsbury featured next against George Mint and pegged D9 for the match and two points. The last two legs were shared by Meerkat Lee Maiden and Hunk Joe Hawkins.

Hub Hyenas entertained Pint Depot Kings and what a ding dong! A real see saw match that ended with both sharing points. The Hyenas really flexed their throwing arms in the first leg, Shaun Smith 180 and Lee Holtham 100 put them nearly 400 points in front. However, the double is the all important factor and the Hyenas couldn’t find one.

New signing Frankie Wurrorck hit 140 to leave Eddie Fozzard a 52 out for 0-1. Yet another robbery. The Kings went further ahead via Matt Cummins 100 and D12 in the first triple. Smith 123 and Cyril Harrison D10 pulled one back despite a 105 from John Broadhead.

Cummins battered the treble in the next scoring 2x100 but it wasn’t enough as Holtham D4 levelled. Harrison 100 kept the home side in front in the second doubles, but Gary Minor recovered the lead for the Kings on D9. A fine 120 from Ian Sleath appeared enough to increase the lead but a D2 from Joe Miller made it all square at half time.

Cummins 100 and D4 defeated Miller 100 to retrieve the lead once again, only for the in-form Smith 100 and D16 to defeat Fozzard 118 for 4 apiece. Sleath took out Holtham for 4-5, but again the Hyenas wouldn’t lie down, Harrison hitting 2x129 and D10 for 5-5, exciting stuff. Dave Wright has definitely shaken off his honeymoon cobwebs taking out Hyenas captain Simon Williams with a 140 and D16. One match remaining, Geoff Harvey to salvage a draw, Martin Bynorth to win the match for the Kings. It was a nervy, tense affair, with neither capitalising on heavy scoring. Harvey found himself on D12 which he converted second arrow for the draw. Some match!

The Queens of Pint Depot didn’t get the home win they were hoping for when second place Busters came to town this week. They seem to be concentrating more on their singing than their darts. But enjoy their Thursday evening, they certainly do. It was the 6th leg before the Royal family got their first leg courtesy of major Royal Queen Debbie, ably assisted by Marie Dunne. This was against the very capable Paul Dowinton 80,81 and Ray Harvey 81,100. Nice leg!

Buster Mark Filer had done most of the earlier damage with his usual awesome throwing 2x100,125 and 3 game shots D4,D8 and D1.

Partner Shirley Roberts supporting well with a fine contribution of her own scoring 77,95,81,108 plus two game shots on D16 and D20.

Some good scores from Queens Anne O´Keeffe, Lyn Fozzard and Cheryl Sleath wasn’t enough against the Busters barrage. At 1-5 down at half time the writing was on the wall. Dunne was unlucky in the first single to play Roberts, both players hitting scores, but the latter nailing the double for at least a draw at 1-6. A nervy Queen Debbie faced an uphill task against the capable Paul Dowinton 85,100 but somehow managed to get the double and her second of the night, before an incredulous opponent. Queen Racheal Broadhead looked like a professional in practice, but facing the experienced Irene Russell succumbed to nerves and lost to the Buster on D2. Ray Harvey D4 made it 2-8 against a steady Vi Turner and then Sleath should have made it 3 legs when 230 points in front playing Peter O´Rourke. Sleath had double trouble but O´Rourke D8 didn’t for 29. O´Keeffe had the unenviable task in the last leg of playing Filer. A couple of decent scores wasn’t enough against a high scoring but tonless Filer who is currently playing some excellent arrows. He completed the match on D8 for a 2-10 score line. A match played in the right spirit and enjoyed by all.

Current champions Gogarty´s are not enjoying their best season, but under the guidance of captain Gail Todd are now finding their way up

the table with this, their fifth win. The captain is certainly doing her bit when it comes to hitting doubles, but Cynthia Jevons is currently making the difference in the team and this week was no exception.

The Gophers opened up a 3-0 lead through Kevin Procktor D4, Elaine Willis doing a little showboating requiring 40 points and getting D1,D19. Todd 85,D1 made it 3 with partner Jevons hitting 119,76 and 68. Tracy Simpson and Julie McCulloch D6 pulled one back for the Honeys only for the Pattersons Richard and Christine D17 to restore the lead. Procktor D14 ended the first half for 5-1. Honey Simone De Lacy doesn’t lose too many singles these days and continued her winning ways for 5-2. Willis D6 took the 6th leg for at least the draw.

Richard Patterson D10 got both points against a spirited performance from Simpson 85 and 100. Jevons 85,D20 made it 8 against Simone´s other half Phil, who himself doesn´t lose that many. Ernie Wilson D8 increased the lead to 7 legs leaving the 12th leg between Procktor and Angie Craggs. A pretty high scoring match went to the Gopher 95,85,83,D8 to his opponent countering with 81 and 84 for an overall 10-2 outcome.

Elsewhere the Tavern gained their fourth win of the season when they visited Breakaways. Mike Snow or Snowie as he prefers these days, wrapped up the match on D15. Ivan Jones had done earlier damage hitting two doubles with Ralph Wetherby hitting a 124. A 2-4 half time score was followed by a Jay Sharp speciality curry enjoyed by all. Mel Dawson, Susan Wiles 132 and Sarah Simpson 129 were the Bears winners in the second half, the girls retrieving the score from 37 to 5-7, Simpson achieving her second double of the night. Jones ended with three winning doubles. Porterhouse continue their winning ways at the expense of Madigans. An excellent performance from sometime comedian, but far better dart player Peter Ayres 121 and 4 game shots including an 88 out (T20,D14) was the main stay of a solid Porters performance. Ray Hayes once again gave a solid contribution 2x100 and D20. For the hosts George Cain 105,100,D19, Karl Cooper 125 and D2 in the 12th leg, Peter James 100,D20,D10 and wife Zoe 114 made it a close affair. Porter Sue Sanderson 105 and a D1 won the match for the visitors in the fourth single.

I understand Martin Sear formerly a regular player with Hattons Hunks is currently battling a serious condition. On behalf of everyone involved in the Euronics Dart League, we wish him well for the future.

The Euronics league have a new sponsor for the Ladies Singles courtesy of Alex Nikolov the local building expert. A keen player himself Alex is only too willing to support the Ladies KO competition, which this year should be extremely competitive. Although work is guaranteed until mid 2014 Alex is keen to expand his successful business of extensions, tiling, bathroom refurbishments and all general building work.

Extra Leader newspapers are being delivered to the Euronics showroom at El Galan to facilitate demand. Debbie Wright will also forward dart copy to captains who must forward their email details to Debmackleston@Yahoo.co.uk.

LEADER ‘MIKE PROBERT TALKS GOLF ADVERTISING HOTLINE

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 Prober Probertt of Costa Blanca Green 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 competitions.

TONY JACKLIN might have two left feet in Strictly Come Dancing, but European Ryder Cup teams will always be grateful to him.

Without Jacklin, the Ryder Cup as we know it probably wouldn’t exist. Until he took over the Captaincy it was looked on as a showpiece event for the U.S. “ I said I would only do it if we levelled the playing field, and that meant flying Concorde, taking caddies and having every facility our opposition had.” he said.

By radically altering the whole approach to the event Jacklin brought pride to the locker room and led the Europeans to a landmark victory in 1985 at The Belfry, their first for 28 years. In 1987 his team went even further, beating the Americans on their home ground at Muirfield Village in Ohio. In his fourth stint as captain the European team retained the cup for the first time, making him their most successful Ryder Cup Captain.

THE 2013 GOLF WORLD CUP, at the Royal Melbourne Club,sees 60 of the world’s best competing for a prize purse of $8 million. The competition format is similar to that planned for the 2016 Olympic Games. With the Australian PGA and Masters under his belt, Adam Scott was aiming for the individual and team event at this week's World Cup to keep alive the "Scotty Slam" – winning all three Australian Majors and the World Cup – heading into December’s Australian Open in Sydney. Even after his quintuple bogey on Wednesday Scott should have no difficulty pulling in the crowds. He is the Mick Dundee of golf at the moment and the fans down under couldn’t give a XXXX for anyone else.

HENRIK STENSON stormed the DP World Tour Championship with his 25-under-par total. After he became the first player to win both the FedEx Cup series and the European Tour's money list in the same year Ian Poulter was entitled to ask: "What is he running on?" After the FedEx Cup final standings Stenson’s winnings totted up to over $11 million. Tiger Woods, down to No. 2. Still received a $3 million bonus.

MURCIA MATCHPLAY LEAGUE

By Alex Mclennan At last we were back playing at Roda The last time we played here which was two years ago the weather was awful and most players were soaked to the skin. The weather this time round was much better although the wind was very strong.

The golf however was surprise after surprise in that the leading three teams were all beaten and it was left to the teams in the middle and lower regions of the table to record wins. Games of note were the defeat of leaders RocaJuna beaten by newcomers Costa Blanca & second placed Hacienda going down to San Javier .La Zenia who were in third place lost to an improving La Manga.

Marinasol had a hard fought draw with Sierra Golf .But it was left to Club 25 who had the benefit of a team visit to Roda a week in advance to record the biggest win of all with a whitewash of poor old Sprightly Crew.

Next match is at Las Ramblas on the 9th of Dec and to kick us into the new year first game is between leaders RocaJuna & second placed Club 25 What an exiting League this is.

PUTTING IT into perspective, Jason Day learned that eight of his family members had died in the Philippines Typhoon Haiyan, among them his grandmother, uncle and six cousins. Even golfers’ millions can’t change the course of nature.

LEE WESTWOOD took time out of his busy schedule to collect a cheque for £228,600 for Help for Heroes from the National Golf Club Challenge, of which he is patron. The Challenge is an interclub competition in which golf clubs throughout the U.K. compete against each other while raising funds for charity. NGCC Director Stacey Jeffries said: "Lee has been sensational since he came on board back in 2010, he always does all he can to help.”

BRANDT SNEDEKER injured his leg when he fell off the Segway he was riding at a corporate outing. He immediately withdrew from the Australian PGA Championship and returned home to Nashville. His injuries could heal in a couple of weeks, or it might take as much as two months. Sometimes it seems pro golfers keep their brains in their golf bag.

THE ANNUAL Father/Son Challenge takes place from the 12-15th December at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Grande Lakes, Florida.

Davis Love III and his son (Davis Love IV?) return as defending champions. Jack Nicklaus won the tournament in 1999 with his son, Gary, this year he partners Jack Jnr. Bernhard Langer pairs with daughter, Christina, and Fuzzy Zoeller his daughter Gretchen. The event is for players who have won a Major or The Players Championship, so it won’t be a massive turnout.

If you fancied a game at the Ritz? Carlton, a round (for three ) costs around $500 but you are rovided with a caddie (who will expect a large tip.) Until next time – Happy Golfing.

FAIRWAYZ GOLF SOCIETY 28 players turned out for a great day today with Fairwayz Golf society at Vistabella, and i'm not just saying that because our team won, but because the weather was ideal and the company was good. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were fast. It was cold to start with early morning, but an hour into the game we were taking off layers of clothing and soaking up the sun. What could be better in mid November? We played individual stableford and 3-2-1 which is best scores count. I have to say that our team won by a clear 9 points overall, thanks to an exceptional score by Gerry Williams of 40 pts.

Not to say that the other members of our team didn't contribute, we all had our moments. Some very decent scores came in from other teams and individuals as well.

Team winners photo L to R - Steve Lawrence, Gerry Williams, Norman Padmore, Bill Howie.

The results were as follows:1st - Gerry Williams 40pts. 2nd - Dave Titchen 36Pts on c/b. 3rd Steve Lawrence 36pts.

1st team 88pts - Gerry Williams - Bill Howie - Norman Padmore Steve Lawrence. 2nd Team 79pts - Steve Hamilton - John Pedersen Dave Titchen - Graham Butterworth.

Best front 9 - Steve Hamilton 16pts. c/b. Best back 9 - Ryan Rogers 22pts. Nearest the pin - Gerry Williams. Nearest the pin in 2 - Steve Lawrence.

No 2 balls this week.

Next week we are at Altorreal, and the following week we are at Alenda.

The sheet for Benidorm is on the notice board at Fairwayz, we are going on 20th and 21st March 2014 for an overnight stay and 2 games. Names need to be put up early due to limited places.

Course Marshalling I am a big advocate of ‘effective’ courses marshalling because it is in everyone’s best interest for the course to ‘flow’ and to keep on course times to acceptable levels. A few months ago I was forced to go into print when one of our society members was abused and insulted by a course marshal on one of the local and well established courses. Well guess what! The same course marshall has struck again and this week I received complaints from two of my clients about the same marshall who was overzealous to say the least. One particular client and his group were hassled all around the golf course and the reason given was that ‘the members complain that YOU VISITORS play too slowly’. Now keeping play moving for all the right reasons is to be expected but to pamper to a few members with a high opinion of themselves and their own importance is just not on. The final straw for this client who had to endure 5.1/2 hours on the overbooked course was to be told one more time to play faster. The point here is that at the time he was in the last of three groups waiting on the same tee to play a hole and he was the one being told to play faster because of members complaints when clearly the problem was a mixture of overbooking by the course and with the groups a few holes ahead.

This particular client was actually here on a ‘rekkie’ for a much large group of golfers visiting the area in April 2014 and guess what! He has taken this course off his list of course venues for that trip. Just when these people realise the importance of customer care! When it is too late probably.

By Barry Evans Another mixed week. All started well on Monday in an away match against Monte Mar Toreadors, when we came away with a 110-81 shots win and 8 points. Our winning rinks were Carol Linehan, Fred Semper and Jack Linehan 21 – 8,Vince Skeel, Ann Allen and Barry Evans 28 – 6, Maureen Semper, Sandra Simpson,John Wilson 25 – 10.

Things went downhill on Friday in a home match against Greenlands Oaks. We only managed 2 points in a 96 to 114 shot defeat.

Congratulations to our only winning rink of John Wilson, Len Chance and Mick Blunt in a 19 – 11 win. No doubt some will blame the strong wind but it is the same for the opposition so that can be no excuse.

What is it about our team when playing at home? Do we start worrying about the rink we have been drawn on before we start playing? Out of 6 games at home we have only won 1 and drawn 1 whereas away we have won 3 out of 5. Our home form must improve or we will be in for the drop! Our Treasurer Fred is still collecting the cash for our Xmas bash so don’t be bashful in coming forward.

QUESADA BOWLS CLUB The Swifts were away to Montemar and the wind won as we were well beaten by 12 points to 2, despite two very close rinks, only losing by 1 shot! However, the Gods were with us as our close opponents had the same result, leaving us still top of the league.

The Diamonds met La Siesta Sputniks at home this week, with the result of 3 rinks each and an overall score of 104 shots each. Winning rinks were Norma Lamberton, David Johnson, and Peter Bradbury, Ann Hopley, Martin Richardson and Colin Highland, Dorothy Benson, Tina and Joe Brinton. Thanks to the reserves who played in a friendly against each other.

The Pearls were away to La Siesta Apollo in very cold and windy conditions, and we managed wins on 4 rinks. Fortunately our shots gave us the overall and we posted a win 10-4. Thanks to the plethora of reserves who turned up this week to support the squad.

The Winter league posted another good result against a formidable Javea team, where we won on three rinks and took the overall shots giving us 8 points to 4. Our Berleen team posted another good win and keep their top spot. This week due to a large number of hospital appointments - why are they always on a Wednesday! - we must thank Eve Blythe and Brian Trinder who came in to support the team.

GOLF FIGHTS CANCER ON COSTA BLANCA On the 17th January 2014 at El Plantio Golf Resort, nr Alicante will be the inaugural Golf Tournament on the Costa Blanca with a “Mixed Pairs” competition to highlight the fight against both male and female cancer. It’s an opportunity for golfers who are committed to using golf as a platform to raise money in the fight against cancer. The mission of Golf Fights Cancer is to tap into the passion and generosity of all golfers to raise needed funds for cancer-related organizations supporting research and people living with the disease.

The tournament organised by the Vega Baja Premier Golf League officials will raise funds to present to AECC (Asociación Espana Contra el Cancer – Pink Ladies).

The logo depicts the symbol of male and female golfers with pink ribbon for ladies breast cancer and blue for the men’s prostate cancer.

This is planned to be an annual event. Contact IVIE DAVIES for full details, by email at golfdavies@gmail.com or on his mobile 669 211 410.

The competition has also been extensively marketed in the UK so it is hoped that the event will attract an International field. As you will see from the poster across the entry fee will include a substantial donation to the AECC as well as a buggy on the day and a presentation dinner.

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS CLUB

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB

On Friday, 15 November, the Cavaliers made the long trip to Mazarron to play the Miners. It proved to be a worthwhile journey for the Cavaliers, keeping up their good form and returning home with 10 points to 4 with 114 shots to 92. Keep it up, things are looking good!

Monday, 18th, saw the Moonrakers play host to the league leaders, Vistabella, and like the song 'what a difference a day makes' in terms of the weather, with everyone in their winter woollies. A hard game was expected and that's what we got, winning on two rinks and drawing on one giving us 5 points to the Albatrosses 9 with a shot difference of 88 -111. Keeping their winning run going were Mike Petty, Brian Kavanagh and Bill Allen with a 27 - 9 win. Overall, not a bad result.

On the same day the Titans entertained San Luis Klingons at home.

Wow! What a game and what a result. 8 points to 6 for the Titans and another place climbed up the league. We are now fourth from bottom - so far so good with one place gained each week for the last 3 weeks.

The team is now settling down and the results are beginning to come our way - lets hope we can keep it going. Winners this week were a first time triple - Renata Mulloy, Jo Close & Dave Close with a great 21-13 win. Mel Odell, Reg Fooks & John Zeller were back on form with a magnificent 21-7 win and reliable Jim Mulloy, Glenda ODell & Chris Ayling picked up two on the last end for a 17-16 victory. Losers were Gerald Shatwell, Geof Farrington & Marilyn Shatwell going down by 14 -17 and Len Fisher, Gina Streeter & Ron White 11-14, both very close games which could have gone either way. Ed Shepherd's rink went down again by the biggest margin - we won't name the rink. However, the end result was excellent - thanks to all players.

Also on 18th the Neptunes visited La Siesta to play the Pioneers - bit chilly to say the least. I think our bowls didn't like the cold weather, winning on only one rink. A poor game for us resulting in 12 points to the Pioneers, 2 to the Neptunes, with 111-73. Roll on Summer!

Monday was a good day’s bowling in blustery conditions, with The Pintos and Broncos playing San Luis teams. The Pintos being entertained by San Luis Vulcans in a tight match in great company, both teams took 3 rinks, with The Pintos taking the overall shots by 2. A good result away from home, in conditions which made finding your line very difficult, well played.

Meanwhile the Broncos played host to San Luis Romulans, a difficult opponent o0n any day. Both teams played well, but The Broncos were quicker to adjust to the same difficult conditions, on a fast mat.

Broncos took 4 rinks and drew 1, also taking the overall shots. Well played all.

Friday proved to be difficult day for bowlers, a strong wind adding hugely to the problem of adjusting to an away mat for the visiting La Siesta Silvers in their match against the Raiders and also for the Mustangs in the afternoon, being hosted by a strong La Marina Sharks.

The Raiders adjusted to the conditions with a little more ease than The Silvers, taking the rinks by 4 to 2 and also taking the overall shots.

Sandy Needham, Richard Needham and Rod Wright 42-5. Barbara Jones, Graham Hicks and Geoff Jones 25-11. Graham Day, Mick Ager and Carolyn Harris 47-6. Tricia Elsam, Margaret Wright and Geoff Wright 13-22. Edward Elsam, Rob Clark and Shirley Edwards 11-13.

Terry Buswell, Ron Edwards and Gary Newson 26-7.

The Mustangs put in a valiant effort against The Sharks, but were beaten by a better team on the day, The Sharks taking the rinks by 5 to 1 and also the overall shots. Margaret Odell, John Donovan and Ron Odell 12-28. Anne Stone, Irene Mangan and Alex Morrice 13-35. June Whitworth, Merv Armstrong and Eddie Thomson 10-21. Irene Thomson, Keith Cunningham and Steve Bowl 10-23. Christine Wildman, John Skipper and Roy Wildman 17-23. Marianne Holtham, Mike Stone and David Whitworth 18-14. Sponsored by Caser.

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB

Sponsored by Totus and Dragon Insurance Top of the pops this week are the Oaks, for their 12-2 southern league victory at Horadada.

Against the Royals, it was this little lot that scored points: B Tomlin, S & J Westall 18-17. M Veale, L Greenland, S Cantley 21-18. T Lemon, B Miller, V Mahomet 25-19. S Johnson, M Thomas, D Greenland 22-8. S Stead, S Mahomet, L Miller 1715. Also in the southern league, div 2 side Cedars played at home to La Marina Seagulls, but unfortunately went down 410 (or was it at Mazarron, Dave - wink wink!!). Winners: S Hewett, Jim Oliver, M Kilby 16-13. J Webb, J Thompson, G Inwood 22-12. Away at San Luis, Elms also only picked up 4 points against the Tigers. Well done: F Tilley, P Lockley, M Edwards 21-15. D Lawton, D Watt, D Dudding 24-14.

The winning streak continues for our winter league side, who last week beat Bonalba at home 9-3. Here's the 4 scoring rinks: C & M Thomas, I Brewster, D Greenland 38-2. J Westall, B Collins, L Miller, C Chapman 35-7. G Bater, M Veale, L Greenland, S Cantley 20-12. S Heath, L Morris, B Miller, B Pocock 20-20.

Alas, it was a case of, "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day", Mamas and Papas style, as all our SABA sides lost in their respective leagues. For the Maples, it was the trips side of P & M Lockley, plus I Brewster, who alone picked up 2 points, as their team lost at home to A div leaders San Miguel Meteors.

Sycamores travelled to Monte Mar, losing 4-10 against the Matadors. Congrats: F Tilley, Joan Oliver, D Dudding 18-17.

N Bater, P Tomkins, T Upham 23-17. At Vistabella, Chestnuts picked up 3 points against the Eagles. Scoring rinks: J Webb, J McClean, D Webb 21-10. B Norris, D Thompson, C Dewar 16-16.

Brandy went to D Dudding, Beer to J Giddings, Red Wine to M Cassidy, whilst J (the spoon) McClean took home the White Wine. C Langlois won the wooden spoon, but gave it away generously as a birthday present.

ADVERTISING HOTLINE 966 73 0057 LEADER LUIS CHIPS DAYA TO WIN

Redovan 0 Daya Nueva 1 (Alicante Cadetes 2a) It was a slow start from both sides with neither team really taking control of the game, or even looking like they wanted too!!

On 10 mins the ball fell nicely to Angel but his well struck shot was tipped over the bar by the home side keeper.

This seemed to spark the game into life and Daya started to push forward more but Redovan looked dangerous on the counter attack.

With 20 mins on the clock the home side keeper made a smart save low down to stop the visitors going ahead.

Daya were now playing some attractive attacking foot-ball but at 0-0 Redovan were certainly still well in the game. The home side did raise their game as the half drew to a close giving the visitors some anxious moments but it remained scoreless at the break.

Redovan started the 2nd period well, putting Daya under intense pressure and forcing a succession of corners. Some how the visitors kept their goal intact and managed a couple of counter attacks but Redovan looked the more likely to open the scoring. On 55mins Danni made a superb save, getting down low to keep Daya in the match but it did seem likely that the home side would soon get the goal they probably deserved. Luis did have half a chance for the visitors on 65mins but his shot on the turn flashed just wide!! Daya were forcing their way back into the game more now and created a couple of good chances.

The visitors took the lead in the 68th min when Luis chased a long ball from Jota and calmly chipped the advancing keeper for 1-0 Daya. The final minutes of the game saw Redovan throw everything at Daya in search of the equaliser but to no avail as the final whistle rescued the visitors.

Redovan may be, just may be have been worth the win but a draw would probably have been fairer. Danni made some good saves for his clean sheet but the man of the match for Daya was Jota. He was the main reason that Redovan failed to score.

The match official was firm and always in control and had a good game.

ABBEY ANGLING FISHING

By Terry Screen We fished the Xmas Contest this week on the 19th November at Nancy’s with a very good turn out of twenty four members.

The weather had changed drastically over the past couple of days with a temperature of only 5 degrees at 6.00am, when the water reaches this low a temperature the Carp are reluctant to feed, but there is still plenty of water in, and with there being a full moon this does cause a higher tide than normal, which adds 8 to 10 inches to the depth. The JCB machine came down to clean the chains and booms out, which did not help the situation.

Maggot and sweet corn are still the preferred bait at present. 1st Terry (Swing em) Screen with 14.750kg fishing the feeder using maggot, 2nd Andy (The web man) Stevenson with 5.900kg fishing the Pole and feeder using maggot, 3rd Ian (The Wizard) Dalzell with 5.560kg fishing the Feeder using maggot After the match we all returned to Bar El Alto La Dolores were a buffet had been laid on by the Club and everyone received a prize as well. We will hopefully have four more matches before the end of the year, details are on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

SERGIO GARCIA COMES OFF BENCH TO INSPIRE BORRIOL FC TORREVIEJA ........2 CF BORRIOL .................2 Having picked up just one point from their last six outings CF Borriol turned to their Club President and benefactor, former world number two professional golfer, Sergio Garcia, in the hope that his presence on the substitutes bench might well instil some sort of much needed passion into the squad who were facing injury hit FC Torrevieja at the Vicente Garcia on Sunday evening. Having dropped from 6th place into the bottom four in the last few weeks, manager Raúl Tena, also knew that his reputation, if not his job, was on the line unless he could bring about a reversal in form in the few remaining weeks to the mid season break, however, the opening period of this exchange saw little evidence that he would remain in post.

Both sides were slow to get going, the football was poor and on a cold November evening many of the spectators were wondering why they had not chosen to remain indoors. But in the consolation that it could only improve, a sizeable Torry crowd roared on the home side, who were missing key players Pastor, Rafa Gomez and Alexis.

However it was Torry’s Carrion who was the first keeper called into action when he tipped over a dipping shot from Pozo that was goalward bound. Carrasco then had the ball in the net when he headed in at the far post only for the match referee to rule he had infringed Carles in the Borriol goal.

Midway through the half the visitors took the lead. Eixea was unmarked 10 yards from goal. He was picked out with a crossfield ball from Ximo and stabbed in from close range.

Torry then began to pick up the pace and with 5 minutes of the half remaining their pressure finally paid off. With Carrasco paying close attention to Borriol defender Moriol a through ball from Rafa saw the defender panic as he misdirected his clearing header into the back of his own net. Going into the interval it was no more than the home side deserved.

Ten minutes into the second period Alberto hit a wonderful 25 yard half volley to put the home side in front. The home side were in the ascendency and moments later the same player hit another thunderbolt just inches wide.

Midway through the half there was a loud cheer as Sergio Garcia came off the bench and his contribution was almost immediate. The golfer worked the ball wide from which he forced a Borriol corner. As the cross then evaded the Torry defenders Emilio scored from close range through a throng of legs.

Despite Torry going close late on through Dani Meseguer and Micro the draw was probably a fair result.

On Sunday Torrevieja travel to lowly CD Acero, 30km north of Valencia.
