Unemployment falls below 30 per cent FIRST time in four years the jobless rate has broken this barrier By Eleanor Hawkins ALTOGETHER 575,000 people are in work in Malaga Province and 25,900 new jobs have been created between April and June, the latest statistics have revealed. THE EPA Active Population Survey for the second quarter of 2015 registered the highest number of people in work since 2008, and unemployment has fallen below the 30 per cent mark for the first time in four years. Published on Thursday, July 23, the EPA revealed that there were 17,000 fewer people registered as unemployed than at the beginning of the year, although at a total of 245,900 the figure is still very high. While the period studied, between April and June, is traditionally the best time of year for employment in the province due to it being the busiest season for tourism, compared to figures from the same time last year the results are spectacular with 41,000 more people in work than a year ago, and 13,500 fewer registered as unemployed.

CLIMBING HIGH: Human towers are a Catalan tradition.
By Carol Irving BARCELONA is famous for the Castellers festival, which features human towers and other Catalan traditions. The human towers are a regular feature throughout the summer, and can be seen outside Barcelona Cathedral at 7.30pm on most Saturdays until August 29. Castell is the Catalan word for castle and this tradition of building castles out of people began in Valls, Tarragona, when different local groups called colles, began to hold competitions to build human towers. The towers have different storeys which are ‘built’ on a firm base called the pinya. This keeps

the structure stable. In recent years, the towers have gradually got higher and higher, with as many as nine storeys occasionally constructed. Children, and younger people are often at the top of the tower as they are more nimble at climbing and they wear helmets to protect themselves. Those taking part in the human towers are called castellers or castle-makers. Falcons are similar, but are focused on creating different shapes like pyramids. As part of the tradition, music is played at each stage of the construction. Music also accompanies the casteller, usually in the form of a flute and a small drum.

Break in store for Mijas illegal homes UP to 1,000 illegal homes and buildings in Mijas may benefit from a new draft law the Junta de Andalucia regional government has improved to modify the LOUA Andalucian Urban Planning Law.
The buildings are mostly country houses but also include sheds and even rural restaurants, explained Town Planning councillor Andres Ruiz, who said that owners would soon be able to register
with the Property Registry and contract mains water and electricity as long as certain conditions are met. Once the parliament ratifies the changes to the LOUA, buildings that have been in
place for at least six years on ground not classified as under special protection or at risk of flooding and have no legal or administrative proceedings under way will be suitable for legislation.

MAIN ADVANTAGE: Puerto Banus has the capacity to accommodate larger vessels. By Eleanor Hawkins A GROUP formed by a Chinese investor, Credit Suisse and Spanish FCC construction company are believed to have put in a bid of more than €200 million to take over management of Puerto Banus. Local daily Diario Sur has reported that Marbella Council and the Andalucian Port Au-
thorities are aware of proceedings and say the deal could be signed by the end of the year. The deal allegedly depends on whether permission is granted for the group to build an extension to the marina, one of the most popular in Spain, with a project similar to one drawn up in 1997 to create 450 new berths. With 870 berths, Puerto
Banus is considered one of the most important marinas in the Mediterranean and is one of the most expensive in Europe along with Marina Grande in Capri, Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Marina di Portofino on the Amalfi Coast and Magna Ibiza. Its main advantage compared to other marinas is its capacity to accommodate larger vessels. Many of the most luxurious
pleasure craft in the world have visited the marina over recent years, and King Salman of Saudi Arabia keeps his yacht moored there. More than 200 shops selling luxury brands like Carolina Herrera, Roberto Cavanni, Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton and Jimmy Choo attract five million visitors a year to the marina.
Tourists spend big in Andalucia ANDALUCIA has grabbed third place in Spain for income from international tourists during the first six months of the year.
Spending reached €4.4 billion in the region, behind Cataluña in first place and the Canary Islands in second.
The latest Egatur tourist spending survey carried out by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism revealed that Andalucia had beaten the
Balearic Islands - where €3.7 billion was spent - down into fourth place and attracted 15.6 per cent of the total visitors spent in Spain.

Ernest reaches his century AS a POW Ernest Hall saw many of his fellow soldiers die in deplorable conditions From Front Page
Weekly News (EWN) when we were invited to join him at his party. As a POW, Ernest worked on the notorious Hellfire Pass on the Burma railway (known as the death railway) which saw hundreds of thousands of Allied POWs die in deplorable conditions. The Japanese wanted the railway built to connect Bangkok, Thailand and Rangoon. As many as 200,000 people are believed to have died in the process. However, Royal British Legion member Ernest considers himself one of the lucky ones. He described some of his near misses when he miraculously escaped death by a whisker, including one in which a sniper’s bullet literally skimmed the end of his nose. The former soldier from the Second Battalion Leicester
PICTURE OF HEALTH: Ernest considers himself one of the lucky ones. Regiment also recounted how he had to survive on just three cups of rice a day for three years. As a result, his six-foot-two frame was reduced to a weight of just six stone by the end of the war. However, he explained
that the heavier-built American and Australian soldiers fared less well, because they were accustomed to being fed much larger amounts of food and they often died first. Nevertheless, Mr Hall’s health was also extremely poor
by the end of the war, and even though the veteran soldier had made his way from Bangkok to Rangoon and then to India, ironically, doctors said he was too ill to travel. When he finally did get home, he was so emaciated,
that even his own mother did not recognise him and it took another few years before he could recover completely. While he has witnessed some terrible tragedies, losing friends and colleagues in the war, his memory remains sharp. He recited one of the many poems that he has written and his sense of humour shone through. Mr Hall, who also served in the Palestine-Israel conflict before the Second World War, celebrated his centenary surrounded by several generations of his family, including his son and grandson, who had come over from Belfast especially for the occasion, as well as other members of his family who are based here on the Costa. This war hero has clearly lived an incredible life and EWN feels privileged to have met him. We offer him our heartiest congratulations.

Costa towns require more summer funds GOVERNMENT aid does not take into account influx of tourists By Maria Jose Fernandez TOWNS across the Costa del Sol are in urgent need of some budget-boosting funds during the summer. With the dramatic fall in travel to North African destinations like Tunisia and Egypt, the Costa del Sol has witnessed a flood of European tourism to coastal areas. Even though tourism is the main source of income for the province, there is still one major problem which continues to trouble business-owners and local governments alike: the increase in population during the summer season and the lack of resources that coastal areas have to deal with them to guarantee their safety and wellbeing. The main criticism voiced by local governments is that aid received by regional and central government does not increase, as it is still measured by the number of residents on the pardon (census), which does not take into consideration tourists.

After waiting for the sus-
pect, who had taken no steps to hide his identity, the officers arrested him and he was sent to Madrid to await judges’ orders. Last year Crimestoppers offered rewards for information on the whereabouts of the suspect and another man, named as Stephen Russell Berry.

Irish murder case shelved THE authorities have provisionally shelved investigations into the murder of Gerard ‘Hatchet’ Kavanagh, an Irishman brutally shot to death at a pub in Elviria last September, after hitting a dead end. Court sources reported that the judge had decided to shelve the case as probes have failed to point to any suspects at all, regardless of the fact that witnesses and CCTV images captured the two hit-men before they pulled their masks on. Kavanagh, believed to have worked as an enforcer for the fellow Irish Kina-
ham clan, was shot in broad daylight on September 6, 2014, by two men who later fled the scene and torched the getaway car. Investigators considered the murder was likely to be part of a gangsters’ turf war or a revenge crime but although various possibilities including feuds and disputes with Irish gangsters, Russian mafia and Dutch drugs gangs were investigated, the Spanish police have apparently hit a wall of silence. The case will resume if any new information or evidence comes to light.

Helping those who are vulnerable Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Elaine Horton is always taking care of other people, both in her personal and working life.
ELAINE HORTON has been taking care of other people her whole life, nursing her grandmother and her mother until they passed away and also in her professional career as head of children’s services in Dorset until her retirement. Her nurturing background is what makes her the woman she is, but it also brought her to Jalon Valley Help, a voluntary charity organisation founded in 1992 to help those in need within the Vall de Pop. Elaine has been stepping in to help people for so many years she cannot understand the attitude of people who just walk away from their obligations. “During my career I have seen people walk away from children as young as two, leaving them to fend for themselves. “How can they do it? We are all responsible for those who are vulnerable and that is what Help is all about.” Up to 140 hard-working volunteers give up their time to raise funds for people who need help inspired by Elaine, whose considerable motivational skills are behind major contributions and support to individuals who desperately need a helping hand as well as other local deserving charities. Funds are raised through special annual events and also through two charity shops in Alcalali and Jalon. And it is not just about raising cash - an

NOT TO BLAME: Stall-holders were unaware of their lack of correct authorisation. By Eleanor Hawkins ALTHOUGH a craft market has been running for years in Marbella marina at weekends, recent changes to the management have revealed that stalls have been running without permission. Money was found stored in a safe at the marina offices, which could not be accounted for. This led to investiga-
tions which revealed that although verbal permission was given for the stalls to be set up, nothing was ever recorded in writing and no contracts were ever drawn up. An intermediary was reported to have charged stall-holders each week, yet the money never reached the town hall. It is believed to have been split between the unnamed intermediary and the marina management.
Municipal spokesman Javier Porcuna explained that the stall-holders could not be held up to blame as they were unaware of their precarious situation and believed everything was in order in spite of the fact that they never received anything in writing. Now, Porcuna said, correct licences will have to be issued and accountants will have to find a way to justify the amounts paid.

BURGLARS headed straight for the warehouse By Community Reporter LOCALS fear an organised group could be behind a recent burglary at a construction machinery warehouse in Estacion de Cartama during which an estimated €15,000 of goods were stolen. Company employees explained that they suspected inside knowledge as the burglary was quick, undetected by a security guard and obviously well planned.
€15,000 worth of machinery and goods were stolen in a precise attack
The burglars, the manager pointed out, headed straight for the warehouse and storeroom where most of the goods and machinery were kept, avoiding the office for example. As items weighing
more than 50 kilos were taken he also claimed it was almost impossible for just one or two burglars to have got away undetected with so much loot. Unfortunately police investigations are a day behind, the manager said, as the burglary was reported on the National Police force’s website, yet it took a day for the Guardia Civil to be notified and officers sent to investigate.

National tourism increased by 15.6 per cent and was largely responsible for last month’s record of 161,563 visitors. Foreign tourism was buoyant but stable with a 3.2 per cent rise. Meanwhile, early estimates predict 95 per cent occupancy for Almerimar and Balerma in July, rising to 100 per cent ‘no vacancies scenario’ in August. “Almerimar’s population has quadrupled and Balerma now has triple the usual number of residents,” said El Ejido’s councillor for Tourism, Luisa Barranco.

Spain’s unemployment rate drops
Bankinter sees rise in profits
WHICH is good news for the Partido Popular
BANKINTER has reported a net profit of €197.3 million for the first half of the year, an increase of 31.6 per cent on the same period last year. The increase is being attributed to an increase in the credit portfolio and the lowering of finance costs. Bankinter’s net interest achieved €432.2 million over the first six months of 2015. Its gross margin at end June was €806.8 million, an 8.4 per cent increase over last year.
By Jan Gamm THE governing Popular Party sees the drop in unemployment from 23.8 per cent to 22.4 per cent in the second quarter of 2015 as a saving grace in the run up to the election. The National Statistics Institute reported on Thursday July 16 that the number of unemployed dropped by

Spain’s tourism figures rocket AT the beginning of the summer season June produced record breaking statistics for visitors to Spain with 6.67 million international tourists an increase of 1.4 per cent over last year’s figures. The lion’s share of the visitors came from the UK. Between January and June 6.7 million Brits holidayed in Spain, a 2.6 per cent improve-
ment compared to 2014. Germany ran second with 4.7 million, France 4.5 million and visits from the US increased by a massive 15.7 per cent. Spain’s increase in business from tourism is put down partly to unrest in middleeastern countries as well as pocket-friendly fares and sterling’s strength against the Euro.
THE average age of Spain’s typical entrepreneur has dropped. In 2015, 52 per cent are 35 years of age or under.
False figures DESPITE the unemployment rate falling opposition parties are claiming these figures are based on part time or unstable contracts and even on one person working two or three jobs.

Costly ATM withdrawals THE BBVA is charging a €2 fee for cash withdrawals from ATMs for non-account holders. Other banks are tipped to follow suit shortly. The Bank of Spain, however, is uncomfortable with the practice. Between the BBVA and CaixaBank there are 15,523 Servired ATMs comprising 33 per cent of the 46,449 in Spain,
with a prospective one in three machines charging €2 per withdrawal. A representative said: “Cash withdrawal is a service and should carry a single commission.” According to a study by kelisto.es, Spaniards pay 78.6 per cent more than other Europeans to withdraw money at ATM machines.

In the service industry there are 291,700 more employed, which is typical of the summer market as jobs in the tourism and hospitality sector fall into that category. Construction workers are up by 32,300 and 23,000 in agricultural jobs.

French vineyards are recruiting Spanish workers for harvesting MAJORITY of workers will be from Granada, Jaen, Sevilla, Cadiz, Cordoba, Malaga, Almeria and Murcia By Jan Gamm AN estimated 15,000 Spaniards are to work in France this year on the French grape harvest with the first workers expected to assume their duties from the second week in August, according to information provided by the Agri-Food Federation of CCOO (Feagra). The majority of those workers, a total of 11,250, will be from Andalucia with the rest sourced from Granada, Jaen, Sevilla, Cadiz, Cordoba, Malaga, Almeria, Valencia and Murcia. Workers expect a minimum wage of around €9.61 per hour for this gruelling work in intense heat but some achieve a higher wage of around €11.72 per hour, with added overtime. The typical profile of 80 per cent of workers in the French vineyards is a man or woman aged between 30 and 60 with a primary edu-
cation working around 35 hours per week. Such workers find it difficult to source work online. Twenty per cent comprises young men with a university education who are unemployed. Feagra advises

A quarter of UK households will be renting in Europe by 2025 THE property market in the UK and the increasing difficulty for first time buyers to afford their own home is fuelling the purchase of homes in Spain and other parts of Europe. In the UK in 2001, the number of homeowners was around 10 million. This figure dropped to eight million in 2014 and market research experts predict a further fall to 7.2 million by 2025. As more and more people are unable to comply with the stringent terms of available mortgage products they instead turn to renting and ownership of property elsewhere in Europe. As property continues to value in the UK the prospect of owning a home, especially for first time buyers, becomes a remote possibility with most young buyers unable to find the required deposit. Instead, under-30s are having to renting somewhere to live and looking to long term future prospects of getting on the property ladder in Spain, France and other European destinations. The average price of a home in the UK in 2015 is projected to be around £360,000.

AN oversight common to businessowners, the feel of your premises should lure and hold customers, not deter them. Many business-owners permit a setting, especially music that appeals to them or their staff. It never occurs to them that it may be offputting from a customer’s perspective. Having arranged to meet a client I had little choice but to call in at a café-bar. The sound of the rap was deafening. Conversation was impossible. It was wholly unsuitable for an urban bistro a little after breakfast. Needless to say, a teenage airhead impersonating a staff member was, well, I am not quite sure what she was doing.

estate were 10 a penny. How tedious their plastic framed images of villas in a clinically boring property shop. Striking out on my own, I opened for business and did so with a flourish. My showroom soon looked the business. Here was harmonious balance between its purpose in selling Spanish properties and creating an environment which made doing so the most appealing thought ever. Of course there were images, maps, brochures, and especially presenters that, used skilfully, sold properties. This was set against a backdrop of potted palms, bullfighting and flamenco promoting posters. When visiting Alicante’s arty district I acquired wall posters, a little torn, the better. Framed, these and potted wall flowers, with a rich assortment of similar Spanish symbolism, created a showroom ambience that would have done credit to a theme park. Mock, but it worked. When Spanish builders visited they were as impressed as was my bank manager. Using such atmospheric setting to build my sales, I outperformed far bigger chains.

The excesses of the Greeks A READER’S revelations expose some startling statistics... LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I’D like to thank Euro Weekly News reader John for most of this week’s remarkable revelations. The next time you are feeling sorry for the Greeks, just partake of these apples. Experts, mandated by the European Union to investigate the circumstances that led to Greece’s economic situation, have apparently come up with the following information: 1. Greece allegedly falsified accounts to enter the Eurozone and since then has repeatedly juggled the facts until the whole thing finally exploded into chaos. 2. There was massive retirement at age 50. 3. At one national hospital there were, on average, 50 gardeners for one lawn with four bushes. 4. At a cost of €550 million a year, 40,000 girls were receiving monthly life pensions of €1,000 simply because they were unmarried daughters of deceased civil servants. 5. Many workers were retired at the age of

55 if they were in one of 600 jobs considered harmful, e.g. hairdressing (dangerous dyes!), musicians of wind instruments (blowing is tiring!), TV presenters (microphones can be harmful and damaging to health, etc, etc). 6. More than 25 per cent of Greeks pay no
personal income tax whatsoever. 7. Retirees receive 95 per cent of their earlier salary (Germans receive 40 per cent, no wonder they’ve got the hump!). 8. In an apparent show of goodwill the Greek Government has recently eliminated 10,000 postal positions, 8,200 of which were revealed to be dummy positions. 9. Greece has the highest population in the world of people reporting an age of 110 years. Deaths are often not registered and pensions continue to be received. 10. Pacemakers were being acquired at a price 400 times higher than in British hospitals. And so on and so forth. If these facts are indeed proven, then Greece is a nation which has survived on corruption for so long they probably consider it the norm. I suggest they get their collective noses out of the ouzo for a while and start playing by the rules. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. But then hopefully this bunch of chancers has finally realised that.

Don’t be caught out by non-disclosure David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk
EUROPE’S economic woes haven’t dented our appetite for travel. If anything, we’re intent on getting the most out of our much-needed getaways, and on the lookout for bargains. There are certainly some excellent deals to be had, as operators and destinations compete for our custom. Meanwhile, more people are turning to short breaks as a way of getting a travel ‘fix’ while spreading the budget. If you’re one of them, taking out an Annual Multi Trip policy with Globelink Travel Insurance makes obvious savings sense. But there’s one thing you shouldn’t be economical about, and that’s what you tell your insurer regarding your medical history. Every year, a significant number of Brits head abroad with a travel policy that’s invalid even before they reach the check-in desk. They’re the people who, through naivety or misplaced guile, don’t come clean about pre-existing health facts that may affect the terms of their insurance. Every year, some of them find themselves
TRAVEL INSURANCE: Be honest about any medical conditions. left without adequate travel cover, as the condition they kept mum about suddenly flares up and requires medical attention. There’s no point in hoping the insurance claims investigators won’t cotton on to the facts. They always do, that’s their job! Need to cut your holiday short due to ill health?
If your condition warrants your flying home with a medical escort, expect to run up an average bill of around £4,000 (€4,700) in Europe and that’s flying economy-class. As for repatriation by air ambulance from the US or Australia, typical costs run into tens of thousands.... Not the kind of holiday ‘splurge’
most people budget for. As of April this year, a new UK consumer law should make it harder for travellers to invalidate their travel insurance by inadvertently failing to disclose important facts relating to their health. That can only be a good thing, since it should help to cut down claims disputes. But the flip-side is that the law does expect you to fill out the online form honestly and accurately when applying for, or renewing your travel insurance. A ‘little white lie’ could leave you without proper cover precisely when you need it most. Non-disclosure makes even less sense when your condition might actually be eligible for automatic coverage. At Globelink Travel Insurance, our policies embrace a large number of pre-existing conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma, provided you have no related complications. If in doubt, contact us; we’re here to help. For an instant quote and to arrange cover securely online, enabling you to print your policy documents visit www.globelink..co.uk, the leading travel insurer for people living in EU countries. Or you can telephone Globelink on 00 44 1353 699082 or their Spanish links line on 966 265 000 or 951 242 434.

Spanish Government benefits from disillusioned expats I HAVE just read Leapy’s article in the paper. Has he ever thought of standing for the UK Parliament? If so, he has my vote. My wife and I reside in Spain, both being British. We left the UK disillusioned, fed up, having paid into the system all our lives, having both lived and worked abroad before, yet still paying our dues and happily so. My wife was working in China and myself in Africa, yet returning to the UK as we were not on the voters’ roll, we could not rent a property. As we had no UK payslips, we were continually advised to ‘sign on’, despite having our own savings and income. Yet we saw hundreds of others by simply being unemployed or, as I would say unemployable, receiving handouts, fully furnished homes, cars and all bills paid. We had returned to be a part of Cameron’s ‘wider society’ and work in doing our bit to contribute to the economy, pay our taxes, NI stamps, etc. Because we had contributed before from overseas we didn’t fit in the box, being told to go and make a claim, then the Government might help. We didn’t want or need help. As a result, the Spanish Government and King Felipe benefit as we now happily pay into the Spanish system. The UK Government’s budget is a good start, now freed from the constraints of coalition, but I am afraid it may be too little, too late. Those wanting to work hard and contribute like us are being pushed out in their thousands, whilst those who have no care for the society in which they live continue to sponge off the State. Keep up the excellent articles; a thoroughly enjoyable yet sadly true read. Jonathan Evans (by email)
Great article! JUST wanted to say how much I enjoyed, and totally agree with Leapy’s article about the layabouts. It is really good to see someone ‘tell it like it is’! This BS has been going on for way too long. Good job, mate! Bill (by email)

IT’S BACK... RUBBISH , RUBBISH and MORE RUBBISH! Recently, several people have once again complained - moaned, in fact, and rightly so - about the dumping of waste, litter, trash, whatever in various places in and around Mojacar and Turre. This photograph shows a load of unwanted builders’ rubbish which was tossed from a van on the main road between the two towns, amazingly near to a large empty council container and only 100 yards away from a huge skip which was ready and waiting for this sort of stuff. It would take at least two strong-armed people to lift one of these white bags seen in the picture, and since the photograph was snapped, quite a bit more rubbish has been added to the pile. Come on... there must be somebody who can name and shame these culprits. Please take note... ALL Mojacar and Turre councillors! Visitors who are now in the area, from all walks of life and countries incidentally, are not all impressed. I know, I spoken to some them! Tony Matthews (EWN columnist)
5-star treatment THIS year my wife and I have had to visit the hospital in Huercal-Overa. My wife broke her ankle on Easter Sunday and I myself have had to have an operation this July. On both occasions the treatment from start to finish was absolutely tremendous, and the after-care at the medico in Velez Blanco the same. So three cheers and five stars to the Spanish system. Chris Jones, Velez Rubio
Voices heard I AM a regular reader of EWN ever since your very first edition and I admire the way you allow people to voice their opinions. Leapy Lee is one such example – I think everything he says is true. Like Leapy, I worked in Saudi Arabia, in my case at the airbase in Tiaif and also in Jeddah. I witnessed the hypocrisy in
the form of sheiks drinking whisky from their hip flasks and sending cars to pick up foreign women from the airport. I, too, am sick of Human Rights, Islamic bigots and leniency towards ethnic minorities. I also enjoy Mike Walsh’s column and was dumfounded by his article about the 100 scientists who were killed in the MH17 Malaysia Airlines plane that was brought down over the Ukraine. Just how low can the trashy tabloid newspapers go to bring out a photo of our Queen as a small girl apparently making a Nazi salute long before the onset of the Second World War? The Queen is a few days short of a year older than me and I did not have a clue what that salute stood for until I was 15 and joined the Merchant Navy at the height of the German U-boat menace. It was only then, when I came ashore and met up with other young shipmates, all in their mid-teens, that we would mimic the Hitler salute. We all used Brylcreem and carried a black comb in our top pockets – we would

hold the comb under our nose, flick our hair over our right eye and do the Nazi salute – not to support them of course but to take the p…! Keep up the good work! EWN is a brilliant newspaper. Joseph Billet, Ciudad Quesada, Rojales (Alicante) PS: I spoke to the Queen and Prince Philip when I was a civil engineer in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) building a dam across the Mahaweli River near Candy. I have always been a True Blue and a Royalist.
Battling biters IN reply to the lady who wrote in to say she was being badly bitten by mosquitoes, I too had the problem and have found two remedies. The first is buy a bottle of lavender water (Lavanda Agua de Colonia) sold in Mercadona and Citronella Essential Oil from a herbal shop. Mix 50ml of the lavender with 10 drops of the oil and use a little spray bottle to apply.
IF the UK tabloids are to be believed the long-heralded in/out EU referendum may well take place in less than a year. There are upwards of two million expats living in Europe, the largest proportion in Spain, and all those who will have been here for less than 15 years will be able to vote. I am surprised therefore that the English-language press has not already started to examine the ramifications of an exit vote. I am thinking in particular of our residency status, the reciprocal health agreement and pensions - if you are an expat living outside the EU you are entitled to your pension but it remains at the rate set at pensionable age and there are no increases. Will we continue to enjoy the status quo or will our lives be made worse by leaving the EU? If the latter is the case then serious consideration should be given to a ‘No’ vote by those affected. I have written to both the MP for the area in which I used to live and to the prime minister’s office. They both replied but gave no assurances in respect of the above concerns. In fact, the MP Dr Julian Lewis, a well known Eurosceptic, suggested that my move to Spain was my choice and I would have to accept the consequences. I would ask you please to investigate and report on our options. Phil McAleer, Cacin, Granada Editor’s Note This is an interesting subject and something EWN intends to cover in the coming weeks.

OPINION & COMMENT
www.euroweeklynews.com
LEGALLY SPEAKING
Different coloured pedestrian crossings AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
BLACK AND WHITE: The only colour for pedestrian crossings. MANY people ask about the significance and meanings of the different coloured pedestrian crossings in Spain. Most people are aware of the ‘zebra’ crossings with black and white alternating stripes across the road, but what ones in any other colours? Article 168 of the Trafico, Circulacion y Seguridad Vial states that ‘pedestrian crossings are formed of a series of wide lines arranged from the pavement and parallel to the axis forming a set across the road where drivers of vehicles or animals must let pedestrians pass.’ It states that you must not use other colours that alternate with the white ones so by legal definition the only colours that should be on a pedestrian crossing are white and the colour of the road.
A study in 2014 concluded the best way to make crossings safer for pedestrians was to “transform these pedestrian passages into eye grabbing spectacles; a school of colourful fish, a skeleton or a row of bullets.” However the study was done by an artist rather than a road safety professional but the impact was successful. By creating a surface which drivers looked out for it could improve the awareness of the crossing, but other experts suggest these could do more damage than good being a distraction. Many of the coloured crossings are on raised humps; again traffic calming measures, but a lot of these humps don’t fall within legal requirements and so many have been removed in recent years.

Six months is legal limit for a UK car In a recent column you said that any UK plated car being driven in Spain must have current UK road tax along with a UK MOT. However, I recently spoke with a Spanish insurance company and they said it is L e t ’s p u t i t t h i s way. Regardless of what the law says, no Spanish policeman is going to issue a fine for not having paid UK road tax or not h a v i n g a c u r re n t M O T from the UK. Insurance is a different story. The law says that a vehicle must be insured in its country of registra-
not required to have UK road tax and MOT. In order to be legal in Spain, you only need the Spanish ITV. Can you tell me whether this is correct or incorrect?

If you have an insurance company that accepts a Spanish ITV inspection sticker on a U K - p l a t e d c a r, t h i s makes me wonder if the car has not been in Spain longer than six months.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction. .
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Surprised? You shouldn’t be.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.
Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.

DIAMONDS are a girl’s best friend at these prices!! By Wendy Ann Cowham
into the shop with a necklace she had paid £360,000 for, but the gold and the rubies were worth nothing. You have to wrap your head around it as it is all about starting off on the right foot with the right price.” Anthony offers quality jewellery at sensible prices. Why pay over the odds for the same product at a high street store? He added: “You can’t beat second-hand jewellery prices. It’s not just antique jewellery, it’s diamonds reset in platinum or gold, the same diamonds as three million years ago. “That’s what gives them their value, they are three million years old. After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so why not get the best for less.” Anthony has been based in Fuengirola for more than 12 years, and as others come and go, his business continues to thrive as he always gives good value for money. This is a must-see jewel of a store!
THIS family has been in the jewellery business for generations. Originally from the Brighton Lanes, Anthony arrived here on the Costa del Sol in 1979. On landing here he fell in love with a derelict villa on the Benalmadena coast, which he transformed into a restaurant, but it was unfortunately partly destroyed in a landslide.
Today, people want good value for money
After much inconvenience regarding compensation issues, Anthony rose up against this challenge to do what he does the best. As he said: “It may sound dreadful but I am really a glorified scrap dealer. “It’s not rocket science. It is the same with diamonds as gold or paper money, each one has a price. “People shop around for cars or food at the best price, so why not shop around for diamonds? People today want good value

New economy geared towards Fractional Ownership OWN a yacht or holiday home for a fraction of the cost SINCE 1983, all major hotels (including Hilton, the Ritz Carlton, Marriott and Four Seasons) have entered the fractional market all over the world. By the mid-2000s, hundreds of fractional properties were well established, and the industry is still growing today. Now, let’s explain how it works and how actually you can enjoy a luxury such as a yacht, vacation property or jet for a fraction of the cost. After all, why spend 100 per cent of your money on an asset that you only use a fraction of your time? The question many people are asking themselves nowadays is how can I pay for an asset that I can enjoy, that is owned by me, yet avoid the high cost and the associated fees? Fractional Ownership is the answer! Fractional Ownership is a common investment structure for expensive assets such as aircraft, sports cars, vacation properties and yachts, of course. This is the most cost effective, reasonable and the most convenient investment strategy in the past 25 years.
Why spend all your money on an asset that you only use a fraction of the time?
HASSLE-FREE: No need to worry about year-round costs. If the asset increases in value, so does the value of the shares in the investment. And yes, this asset is transferable or can be sold; something that cannot be done with timeshare! Main reasons to buy a fractional ➢ No need to worry about year-round
costs ➢ Asset can be sold or transferred ➢ Full rights to the asset under your name ➢ Management companies look after your asset ➢ All maintenance work is the responsibility of the management company ➢ Relax instead of spending weekends working on the vacation home each year.
Since 2006, Saveene Group has offered a unique and inexpensive way to own your own luxury yacht, or a luxury villa. Fractional Ownership provided a ‘win-win’ relationship for both participants in the contract. Under the Saveene programme, Fractional Ownership is perfect for yacht owners who want the yachting experience with no hassles and no waste of their hard earned capital. Saveene’s management will gladly introduce you to all options that are available. For more information, please call 965 020 299 or visit www.saveene.com

AFTER a probe from a Spanish boat hit a Royal Navy speedboat in the waters off Gibraltar in early July, there have been calls for an increase in Navy assets on the Rock.

Leaving a saucepan on the window-sill to heat up, make-up artist and Gibraltar resident Naomi Abudaham added an egg and watched it cook. Recording it on video, she added that she would be serving it up for her boyfriend’s dinner.

LENGTHY QUEUES: Visitors and commuters are delayed in the heat. By Carol Irving IN yet another dispute over border delays, the Gibraltar Government claims the new changes to the Spanish Border Control system is creating unnecessary delays for pedestrians entering Gibraltar. The new Automated Border Control, which Spanish authorities say is designed to improve the flow of traffic at the Border, has caused delays to visitors and commuters in the last few days with test-
ing of the system taking place at peak hours, resulting in delays of up to an hour with children and the elderly waiting in queues under extremely high temperatures. Describing the scenes as “shocking and unacceptable,” the Gibraltar government are complaining that firstly, the new measures were introduced without a timely information campaign warning the public and Gibraltar of the changes, and secondly, that they are taking place at times
Customs seize £5m worth of cannabis MORE than 1.5 tons of cannabis was seized by HM Customs in a high profile operation which saw three men arrested.

high speed powerboat which crashed into a Sandy Bay reef on Saturday July 26. Two crew members were arrested by Customs with a third detained by Royal Gibraltar Police. The three men, two Spanish and one French, made a court appearance on Monday July 27.
which are the most inconvenient to pedestrians crossing the border. Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia also claims they were not informed about border changes to their infrastructure, traffic lanes and vehicle checks and that the recent disruptions are affecting tourists and commuters, including Spanish ones. A complaint is being made to the European Commission, via the Gibraltar office in Brussels, about the Spanish government’s behaviour.

Up in the hills close to Granada... To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865521508
JOHN and his wife left the west coast of Scotland some years ago and decided to find a new home with a gentler climate more conducive to retirement. They had visited Granada on a couple of holidays and fell in love with the ancient character of the place, and of course the climate. Moving over was easier than expected, and finding a property didn’t take any time at all. In fact it was the first house they saw that captured their imagination. They actually chose an ancient home of character in the hills facing the Sierra Nevada, with stunning views all around. And their dogs loved it too. Since then they have acquired two cats to add to their fur family.
The one challenge they face is finding sitters who will care for their home and their pets while they are away. They have connected with HouseSitMatch online and are now talking to a number of experienced sitters about dates when they plan to return to Britain to visit with family. The HouseSitMatch process was straightforward. They registered as homeowners and posted a housesit advert with photos and descriptions of the pets. The registered sitters receive an automatic email through the website if they have said they are interested in housesitting in Spain. Then John reviews the applications and begins the getting to know the sitters
through the site, with his identity and contact details hidden until he chooses to take up references and then to accept the sitter of his choice. It’s easy! To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865 521508.

WHY am I not like normal people? It’s deeply depressing! Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-the-wall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
I RECEIVED a complimentary email about my scribblings recently. What’s nice is that it came from a respected journalist. But it was prefaced with a comment about my tendency to ramble, which was hurtful. However, I should just be content with the nice bits. Still - ramble? Our neighbours are away, and tooled up with do-do bags, I am again going for pleasant walks in the cool ends of the day with their dog. She’s getting on a bit, so is content to trot gently along, stopping when she needs to answer the doggie call of nature - usually on some rubbish-strewn waste ground thoughtfully provided by Orihuela Town Hall. Trouble is, as a non-dog owner, I am forever bumping into unfamiliar dogs and their people. The dogs always seem to know each other and after a bit of nose bumping, they progress to the less tasteful bit of socialising, with their noses glued to each other’s backsides. It’s embarrassing - well not for the dogs obviously - but what do you

Moreover it only emphasises the fact that you are embarrassed, whereas the experienced dog people seem oblivious. But I make a mental note not to allow my charge to lick my face when we get back. I was in the Zenia Boulevard yesterday and a tiny child stood in the door-
way of one of the big stores and screamed blue murder for no apparent reason. The parents looked on lovingly, and every passing customer smiled encouragingly. The shop assistants turned and beamed, and even the security guard, who looked as if he could eat nails, was chortling away happily. Why am I not like normal people? It’s all deeply depressing!
Not learning from history I AM well informed enough now to realise that we are experiencing action replay Mike Walsh
Just 1 per cent of America’s population are millionaires
Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.
I WASN’T born when, in 1939, under pressure from the English and American war lobby, the world edged ever closer to war. However, I am well informed enough to realise that we are now experiencing action replay. Germany, and now Russia, was goaded by war lobby interests. In the first case, Polish anti-German rhetoric was encouraged. Today, Ukraine is used to prod the Russian bear. Change the Sudetenland or Danzig Corridor for Crimea; you have pretext for war. The well-orchestrated mainstream media vilified the then Reich. Today, Hitler has been replaced by
Putler. Economic warfare is dusted off and renamed sanctions. Prime Minister Chamberlain was reluctant to engage in yet another war. Joe Kennedy Sr, Ambassador to

Simultaneously, the US press hot irons to the backsides of their EU marionettes to ramp up economic war against Russia. The US economy is reliant on perpetual war.

AS the blistering summer heat continues, fires are breaking out all over Spain with firefighters struggling to control them. Yet this week marked the start of an indefinite strike by the elite firefighting force, Las Brigadas de Refuerzo en Incendios Forestales (BRIF), which fights forest fires, after their negotiations over working conditions and low pay between their employers TRAGSA and Ministry for Agriculture, Food and the Environment broke down. The salaries of the elite force averages just €16,000 per year and has been frozen for the last four years. The force, which is composed of 570 firefighters across Spain, wants recognition as providing a professional service, and emphasise they cannot survive on such pay while risking their lives on a daily basis in order to serve the public. With both the government and the unions refusing to budge, the union Atbrif has called an indefinite strike. In one fire in Galicia, the army’s emergency unit had to be called in to try to control fires. While the firefighters do an incredible job protecting citizens, their property and the environment and clearly deserve a decent salary, this strike may endanger those who cannot protect themselves and destroy the environment. All involved, TRAGSA, government and union, need to act now to find an immediate solution so that firefighters can go back to work.

A clue: just 1 per cent of America’s population are millionaires, yet 50 per cent of congressmen are multimillionaires. Might it not be an idea to force politicians to wear badges of the companies that sponsor them? Another clue: Dick Cheney, university failure, was more fortunate as an arms dealer. Using neo-conservative political clout and taxpayers’ money his companies made $39,500 million out of the Iraq War.

Pain that doesn’t get better DERMATOMES are an extremely useful diagnostic tool in identifying the root cause
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com I’VE written a few times now about nerve pain and how it confuses treatment. The problems with nerve pain are: 1. Identifying it 2. Finding the root cause And this is why you can be having the best tennis/golfer’s elbow treatment, the best carpal tunnel treatment, the best knee and leg pain treatment with no effect. Because it’s actually a problem with the nerve supplying that area, not that area itself. The pain comes from somewhere else.
So how do we find that critical ‘somewhere else?’ Finding the root cause of pain So, if the pain isn’t coming from where you feel it how do we find it? 1. A thorough clinical, physical assessment - checking not just the painful area but also the areas that can refer pain. This takes a while! 2. Talking to you! I’ve listed before symptoms which give critical clues the pain is related to nerves not the location - it jumps/ moves, tingling, pins and needles, sharp or searing (for more information see articles on my blog - www.TheBody worksClinic.com/ blog) Now a key tool in all of this is a system called Dermatomes. So what’s a Dermatome? A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single
spinal nerve. There are 30 in total, one for each squishy disc between the bony discs of the spine. And they follow a general pattern. So if all your pain keeps jumping about in a specific area, or you get tingling or pins and needles across a certain part, breathing difficulties, loss of sensation or a feeling of cold in a particular body part, even a rash, we check to see if these correspond to a dermatome. Then we can use that to identify the nerve affected and check the spine. So they are an amazingly useful diagnostic tool to identify the root cause. For more information on nerve pain, using Thermal Imaging and dermatomes to diagnose issues please check our blog or call us on 952 883 151.

Whether you want to relive the music of a band who are no longer with us or a band that’s still going strong but that simply can’t tour often enough to give everybody the opportunity to enjoy their music, somebody will have put together a tribute to them. Long gone are the days when tribute bands were seen as ‘cheap copies’ cashing in on the success of the original.

Contrary to popular belief, not all tribute bands are so-called ‘look-alike’ bands.

Keeping as cool as a cucumber THE cucumber belongs to the same family as the water melon and squashes and because the cucumber plant thrives in temperatures between 60ºF/ 15-33ºC they are likely to have originated in India or Western Asia. They are popular to many other regions of the world now but they were noted in history in the legend of Gilgamesh, a Ukraine King who was living there around 2500BC. It wasn’t until over 3,000 years later the cucumber spread its cultivation to some parts of Europe and were eaten as a delicacy in France.
As far as health benefits they are a fantastic antioxidant, rich in vitamin C, manganese and beta carotene. And the saying to keep as cool as a cucumber actually has some weight to it, as fresh cucumber has been shown to reduce swelling and as it is more than 90 per cent water it keeps you well hydrated in the summer. So cucumber is a perfect ingredient for the summer diet, when diced together with tomatoes and bell peppers, they evolve into the delicious Israeli Salad, so eat up and cool down!

“More British expats are looking to come back”, says Alfie Best ONE of the biggest mobile park home operators in the UK is set to become the largest one in Britain. Wyldecrest Parks, valued at £200 million, has added 14 new parks to its portfolio just in the last year. The company’s Chairman Alfie Best spent £13 million in new purchases in the last 12 months and expects to spend up to £17 million on new acquisitions by the end of 2015, turning his park home business into the largest one in Britain. Wyldecrest Parks, which has 44 residential and holiday mobile home parks, is the only nationwide park home operator in the UK, with sites in England, Scotland and Wales, and is already planning a possible future growth to the Irish market as well as an overseas expansion. “A corporate development through overseas investments is part of a

strategy to move our business forward,” guarantees the Chairman. However, Alfie Best points out he would like to start by bringing even more Wyldecrest Parks to the attention of British people living abroad. “You always have to keep your eyes open to market opportunities and I personally spend most of my time in our parks across the country and work very close with all our departments,” says Alfie Best. That’s how he has noticed an in-
crease of contacts coming from British people living abroad. “The number of enquiries we’ve been receiving from British expats has been exponentially increasing over the last few years. Some of them are interested in a residential mobile home, which is an affordable way for them to come back to the UK; others just want a holiday home, to have a UK base to spend time with family and friends whenever they want to,” he explains. Therefore, to open and improve the ‘lines of communication’ from the UK to the rest of the world is, at the moment, a priority to this Essexbased company. And, according to Alfie Best, Portugal and Spain are at the top of the list due to the number of expats living there and the territorial proximity from the UK. See our advert below.

Neater Heaters: beat the rush and get them while it’s still hot THIS year has seen a massive upturn in the property market, with many people visiting Spain to renovate their properties. Whether they are refurbishing them as a holiday home, rental business venture, or even their new permanent home, it is evident that people can see a brighter future ahead. Tony and Richard at Neater Heater have been a godsend to those who need a solution to enhance their homes either for their own economical but stylish living, or even for those wishing to attract potential tenants. Neater Heaters are designed to set up a more efficient way of heating the home so that, when compared to most other electric heaters, monthly bills can be reduced, which is music to anybody’s ears. The difference between a Neater Heater compared to most electric convector heaters is that most other electric heaters use their energy in getting the heater hot, whereas the Neater Heater is designed to heat the air in your room directly. The element in most electric

TIGHT SPACE: Will not restrict your furniture layout. heaters has to get unnecessarily hot in order to heat the casing, which in turn, warms the air it contacts as it slowly heats up. With Neater Heaters, however, the air is drawn into the heater, where it is in direct contact with a very efficient element causing the air to heat up extremely rapidly, creating a convection current. You save time and money as your
room is heated within minutes at a lower energy cost. Neater Heaters are designed and built in Norway, where these stylish heaters are hailed as the first choice for quality and performance. There are many designs that on offer which can be incorporated into your room’s colour pallet and style. Neater Heaters will not restrict your furniture layout either, as there are so many options you can work with if space is tight, including mounting the heater on factorydesigned feet if wall space is limited. There is more good news, Neater Heater can offer their Adax and Neo ranges to their clients at a lower competitive price, because delivery comes from the Adax sister factory located within Europe, thus benefiting us all from no importation tax. Choosing your requirements in the summertime also means that you have the full range to choose from, rather than suffering disappointment later in the year when the heaters are selling faster than the replacement orders are able to arrive.
Nurture plants to make your balcony flourish THOSE of us not blessed with acres of land at our disposal can still nurture a range of plants to brighten up balconies. But even having two or three pot plants to care for can be tricky. Blinds or awnings can be useful, especially if your terrace faces south, east or west. Make sure they are pulled down at the hottest part of the day, shading them and you into the bargain. While it is tempting to fill your balcony with overflowing plants, you can be economical with floor space,
hanging plants in wall pots or along balustrades or on trellis. Choose plants that suit the direction of your balcony. South-facing terraces will take geraniums, petunias, herbs, fuchsias and carnations. East ones, begonias, orchids, and aloes among others. For west ones use petunias, spider plants, and miniature confers and northfacing balconies can host aspidistras, cyclamen, and many indoor plants. To stop plants drying out, use water-retaining gel in the compost of plant pots.

plastic liners and double sided carpetwater resistant mats which you can flip over when Fido is travelling. For large dogs in estate cars, a grille is essential and for the Skoda Fabia, Octavia and Superb Estate, their new trunk grille in the luggage compartment has a dual purpose. As well as providing space for your animal, it separates the boot into two, one side for your pet and one for luggage so any sudden turns won’t result in your loved one being hit by a suitcase. The trunk grille itself fits onto the rear headrests and will ensure safety in the backseat and boot for your family and your dog.

Conqueror in just 15 seconds TAKING just 15 seconds to knock out Hungarian opponent Istvan Kiss, 23-year-old Marbella welterweight Jeff Saunders once again showed hi s m et t l e i n hi s t hi r d professional fight on Satur day Jul y 25 i n Manchester. What’s more, this was the third time the MGM boxer had knocked out an opponent in the openi ng r ound, and on t hi s occasion, a punch in the solar plexus did it. Nevertheless, he was not expecting quite such a rapid ending, as the experienced Hungarian is renowned for hitting hard. Said Jeff afterwards, “I am over the moon with another first round KO, but to do it with my first punch was out of this world.”

MAYOR JOSE BERNAL: Gives congratulations. MARBELLA Mayor Jose Bernal congratulated the Rhythmic Gymnast Club, who have been extremely successful this season in various big competitions, in the town hall on Thursday July 23. In addition, he congratulated Asha Mia Hamudir, who came first in the Andalucian championships, Triana Sanguino, runner-up in the national championships, and Adriana Garcia Iside Montaldo and Alexandra Tertychnna, who were part of the Andalucian team which took part in the finals of the Spanish championships. The mayor also thanked the team for helping to put Marbella on the map in the world of sport.
CYCLING - For the second time in three years, Team Sky rider Chris Froome, born to English parents in Nairobi, Kenya, brought up in South Africa and coached by Dave Brailsford, won the gruelling 21-stage, 3,506 km (2,201 miles) Tour De France. Froome - the 2013 champion - is the first Brit to win the race TWICE, his second victory seeing him finish one minute and 12 seconds ahead of the Colombian Nairo Quantana. The other Team Sky winner was
of course, Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2012. There were 160 finishers (out of 167 starters) in this year’s race and for the record, Froome was on his bike for over 85 hours... And for that, and without hesitation, I’m nominating him as my 2015 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. FORMULA ONE - Last Sunday’s (July 26) dramatic Hungarian Grand Prix was won, for the first time, by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who drove superbly, leading from lap one. Daniil Kvyat (Russia) was second and Aussie Daniel Ricciardo third. It was wheel-to-wheel, bumper-to-bumper, punctures, drive throughs, and penalties galore - practically an incident on every lap - as Lewis Hamilton, starting from pole, had to settle for sixth position, but still extended his lead in the driver’s championship to 21 points (202181). Vettel has now equalled Ayrton Senna’s total of 41 F1 race victories - only Alain Prost (51) and Michael Schumacher (91) have won more, and the German is now the joint highest points scorer in F1 history with Fernando Alonso (1,778). Next race: Spa, Belgium, on August 23. FOOTBALL - The women’s Cup Final between Chelsea

Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont
By Tony Myles HOW often do you renew the grips on your clubs? For most people it probably isn’t often enough for a number of reasons. They deteriorate gradually and so the loss of firmness is unnoticed as it tends to happen over several rounds. And of course there can be no simple equation that suggests changing grips once per year because whilst that may mean over 100 rounds for a lucky few, it could be less than 10 for many others. Then there is the question of who to entrust with the task. If your local pro-shop offers this service then that is
usually the simplest solution. Finally you must decide on the type and the size. As with buying any item of personal wear you need to ensure that the grip on your club is suitable for your hand. What size are you? (Oh and by the way - size IS everything!!) It is important to realise that One Size does NOT Fit All! One further consideration is the fact that the grips you have been using may not be the best for you. There is a simple test using your guide hand - this is the left hand if you are right handed. With your normal grip your longest finger should just touch the pad of your thumb. If you find it digging in then the grip is too slim. If it fails to touch then the grip is too fat. Fitted while you shop Campbell Lamont offers a comprehensive re-gripping service with a range of the
most popular products. If you are shopping in the centre in Ondara you can arrange to drop your clubs off at the Golf Shop and collect them when you are ready to leave. They will have the right size fitted and they are guaranteed to feel good when you next take them out. Manufacturer’s fitting days These events are always very popular and fully booked well in advance and so here is some news of an event that you will want to ensure you do not miss. Coming to El Plantio on September 25 and La Sella on September 26, the leading manufacturers will be lining up alongside each other on the driving range and affording you the opportunity of moving along the line and testing their latest products. Make a note in your diary for these dates and we will bring you more details nearer the time.
