President’s Letter We have had to say our final farewell to Brian Buckley, our sympathies go to Mercedes and family. Brian was a committee member and editor of our magazine for many years, as well as being involved in many of our drama productions. Last month a few of our Club members have been on tv, some have been interviewed on various channel news re Brexit, well done to all. Unfortunately, due to Rob's ill health we have been absent from Spain for quite a few weeks. I can't wait to get back. Joan and the Committee have been working hard to arrange various events, please give them your full support. If you have any ideas for events or trips please do let one of the Committee members know. March of course means AGM time, a bit later than usual, more details are in this magazine. Please think hard if you would like to stand for the Committee.

If you are interested in a forthcoming event, but know that you are going to be away when the tickets are likely to go on sale, we suggest you ask a friend to purchase them for you in your absence. That way you are also able to choose your table companions if applicable. We really don´t want anyone to miss out or be disappointed. Thank you.

PAST EVENTS Burns Night Supper Friday 25th January I think the photos which Debra took for us, show the story of this highly successful event. A wonderful evening full of laughter, great food, music and dance, which included a talented performance of Scottish Country Dancing, Comedy and we danced until nearly midnight. Lots of Tartan on display. Many, many thanks to the lady who organized the event (and cooked the celebratory Burns menu with some hard working helpers) Thank you to Jacqui Parrick and everyone who helped!

PAST EVENTS On Saturday 9th February party lovers were treated to an excellent dinner, music and dancing. Many thanks to Brenda and her well organised team, who served up a tasty meal with the aid of the now ‘infamous squeaky trolley’! The versatile Replicants provided mood music during dinner, and then wound up the volume for dancing till late. And to cap it all everyone went home with a gift from the prize draw. A great evening, enjoyed by all. Submitted by Ron Pegrum - Photos from Margaret Loughran

There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin and the other slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys…..which just goes to prove that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

ACTIVITIES AT ICE Photography Group Using a Wide Angle Lens-Tips & Tricks What is wide angle photography? Basically, wide angle photography uses a wide fixed or zoom lens focal length, common fixed focal lengths are 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 35mm, or similar 12-24, 16-35mm zoom lens focal lengths. Check to see if your camera has an “optical zoom” as well as digital zoom, and set the lens to one of the above numbers. Or, a suitable alternative is landscape mode or panorama mode. A wide angle will allow you to capture wide sweeping vistas, like a mountain range behind a wide meadow, with some interesting foreground rocks and topped by a huge sky with a great sunrise, sunset or with a series of cloud formations. In other words, all that your eye can take in. That’s a lot of information to capture in one single photo frame. The way to success is to learn a few tricks and tips: 1) Fill the frame. Try to fill your frame with the subject you choose. This works well if you choose a composition with something in the foreground that will anchor your subject view. A good foreground guarantees that there will be no empty “uninteresting” space in your composition. 2) Get down low. Get low and close to your foreground to emphasise any interesting features. This works well when photographing seascapes, by including the interesting formations in the sand as the water flows in and out, or when trying to capture a scene where the foreground includes interesting features like flowers, rocks, or a path leading into your chosen scene. 3) Pay attention to corners. When your camera is trying to capture a wide scene, there will likely be some lens distortion in the corners and along the edges. Avoid capturing scenes where people may occur in the corners, as the lens could turn them funny shapes! In general, when using a wide angle, keep people toward the centre of the frame. 4) Avoid distortion. Wide angle focal lengths are good at keeping vertical and horizontal lines straight, like buildings and walls, but only if you point your camera straight ahead, straight on to the view you’re photographing. Tipping your camera up or down, even slightly, will result in distorting those lines, so keeping you camera level with the horizon, and perpendicular, will result in straight pleasing lines with no need to try to adjust them later. 5) Use distortion. On the other hand, you can use lens distortion to create some interesting effects. This is useful if there is an arch, or trees framing your subject, as just tipping your camera slightly can create a dynamic effect. Try various movements, to see how they affect the lines along the edges, or the main subject. If you can’t capture an entire building, say, from where you stand, try tipping the camera and using distortion to capture the whole scene in a different and interesting way. 6) Take advantage of the sky. Fill the frame 1/2 to 2/3rds with an interesting sky, and the wide angle will accentuate it, giving your photo depth. Of course the rest of the image needs to be interesting as well, so look for good foreground interest; you just don’t need as much of it! 7) Frame your shot. Look for trees, arches, windows, door frames, even low roofs to frame your subject. Looking thru a frame, the wide angle can give you the opportunity to see the scene as your camera sees it, and give your photo that special something that makes it unique. 8) Look out for the unintentional. If you’re shooting with the sun behind you, you may find your shadow creep into the scene. Also, watch out for the odd lamppost, car or other object, these can be out of the shot as you look at the scene, but your wide angle lens may still pick them up. Be aware of all your surroundings so that you don’t include more than you intended in your photo. Submitted by Debra Coleman 26

ICE Club Golf Society

Hello to all our members. The list of players for the Spring Cup is on the notice board at the Ice Club. Please make sure you leave your name and phone number if you wish to play. There is not a lot to report at the moment except that we are still playing with a good turnout for our twice weekly roll ups with new faces joining us for frequent games or those who are in the area for a brief visit. All are welcome. The not so good news is the state of the Casares course. Last autumn and through to the end of the year, the course was in very good condition. Since then we have seen the greens deteriorate badly with lack of grass, unusual treatment and all sorts of undulations and irregular grass 'patches'. The fairways are mixed, with some areas constantly wet and others with virtually no grass. The seventh hole has been 'planted' with steel poles along most of it's length to support a fence. There is a continuous family dispute about the golf course land and the adjoining land, which is owned by two brothers. It now looks as though the fence will never be erected as the brother trying to erect it has been refused access across the course. What a mess! We have complained about the state of the course but we will have to wait to see if there is any improvement. We all certainly hope so. Before the next magazine we will have played an away day at Alcadeisa, played at Martin's memorial day roll up, which looks as though it will be a well attended occasion. In the meantime: ENJOY and stay healthy. Contacts: Peter Henry: 93105180 Jan Blind: 603670330, Stephen McMurtry: 608854505

UPDATE ON SPANISH NO-DEAL CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR UK RESIDENTS (Supplied by Michael Harris): On Wednesday 6 February, representatives of EuroCitizens met civil servants from the Foreign Ministry, the Interior Ministry and Presidencia. A law (decreto ley) with full details to enable measures to be put into place in the event of a hard Brexit will not be passed until the beginning of March. However, we received clarification about key points of the Spanish government’s no-deal plans for British residents in Spain. The government aims to make our transition from EU citizens to thirdcountry nationals as simple as possible, though everything will be conditional on reciprocity and the UK government's treatment of Spanish citizens in the UK. 1. A generous 'period of grace' for registration. Sufficient time will be given, in the event of a hard Brexit, for UK residents to register as third-country nationals. The length of this 'transition' period is not definite yet, but it will be sufficient and will also depend on the effective date on which the UK leaves the EU. 2. How to register as a third-country national a) Information for registered Britons: After 29/03/19 your existing EU document (your registration certificate or residence card as a family member of an EU citizen) will continue to be valid until the end of the period of grace even though you are no longer an EU citizen. During this period, you will have to apply for new third-country ID, a Tarjeta de Identificación de Extranjeros (TIE). The procedure for granting this new status will be ‘practically automatic’ for legally resident UK citizens. Both the long transition period and the simplified nature of the process are similar to the contingency measures of other EU 27 countries which is promising, though we will need to see all the details: the application form, the cost, help provided for vulnerable groups etc. Our interlocutors at the ministries also promised that extra resources would be allotted to immigration staff (at oficinas de extranjería and comisarias) in provinces with large British populations. b) Information for non-registered Britons resident before Brexit: If you and all your family members are not yet registered, eg if you have recently arrived, you should immediately apply at a foreigner’s office (oficina de extranjería) or police station (comisaría) for an EU citizen's resident document. If you have been unable to formally submit your application or have not been given an appointment before the withdrawal date, eg, your appointment is given after that date, there will be a specific process for applying for the new third-country ID during the period of grace, as long as you can prove that you were residing in Spain before the 29 March. So to sum up: - If you apply for your EU citizen's resident document before 29 March (or the effective date on which the UK leaves the EU), your application will be considered under the same conditions as current legal UK residents. - If you are resident but have been unable to formally apply for an EU citizen's resident document before 29 March (or the effective date on which the UK leaves the EU), you will have to apply directly for the new third-country ID during the period of grace. However, the requirements stipulated by the new law, (that enables no-deal Brexit measures in Spain), will be similar to those for an EU citizen. Your application will be processed through a specific process which will be less demanding than the general residence process for all other third-country nationals. In all of the above situations, during the period of grace, your residence in Spain will be considered legal. ...Cont’d next page 32

Brexit Update Continued c) Britons arriving in Spain after Brexit day: Applications for people arriving after 29 March will be processed in the same way as those for all other third-country nationals, with the corresponding requirements which are considerably more demanding than those for EU citizens, especially for non-working people. It is also important to point out that, if the UK leaves the EU with no agreement, British citizens who are not registered as residents will, like all other third-country nationals, only be allowed to spend 90 days in any one six-month period and that their exit and entry will be controlled at ports and airports to enforce this. 3. New documentation Your new ID card (TIE) will be biometric and will be valid throughout Spain and for travel within the EU27 along with a passport. The document will accredit your status as legally-resident third-country nationals (under the régimen general de extranjeros as opposed to our current situation under the régimen de ciudadanos de la UE). If you have more than five years of legal residence, you will be able to get long-term residence (residencia de larga duración). If you have less than five years legal residence, you will be able to apply, under the same conditions, for long-term residence after Brexit once you have completed five years residence. 4. Working after Brexit If you are employed (por cuenta ajena) or self-employed (por cuenta propia), you will be able to continue working as now. If you have exercised a profession using UK qualifications before 29/03/19, you will be able to continue to do so. If you are a Spanish civil servant (funcionario) with British nationality, you will be able to continue your employment even though you are no longer an EU citizen. 5. Social security coordination On 30 March, automatic coordination of social security between the UK and the EU will end. Thus there will have to be a new bilateral agreement covering this area between Spain and the UK or between de the EU and the UK. This would enable existing social security rights and aggregated pensions to be recognised for Spaniards in the UK and Britons in Spain. 6. Healthcare The existing S1 scheme and EHIC card will also stop automatically in the event of a hard Brexit. A new agreement between Spain and the UK will have to be reached which reflects the true costs of the healthcare for the roughly 77,000 British UK pensioners in Spain compared with the mere hundreds of Spanish pensioners in Britain (to maintain access to public health for UK nationals as now). Conclusion One of the most difficult things to deal with for UK residents since the Brexit vote has been the lack of certainty about our futures. Now at least we know that, despite a Brexit cliff-edge, in Spain there will be a lengthy transition period and potentially simple administrative procedures to enable us to bridge the sad transition from European citizens to third-country nationals. We would like to thank again the civil servants who met us on 6 February, worked with us on this document and indeed who have engaged fully with us since the triggering of Article 50 nearly two years ago.

How to get your finances Brexit-ready By Javid Rustam, Associate Partner, Blevins Franks With Brexit just weeks away, make sure your financial position in Spain is as secure as possible. Review the best currency mix for you When living abroad and spending euros in your daily life, it can be much more expensive to take your income in sterling. You can limit exchange rate risk with investment structures that offer the flexibility to invest and make withdrawals in different currencies. Widen your investment horizons If you favour British assets when investing or are still using a UK-based adviser, your financial planning could be more suited to a UK resident than someone living in Spain. This could result in costly mistakes and missing out on opportunities available locally that could work more favourably for your circumstances. These uncertain times may also offer opportunities. For example, low interest rates are unwelcome when it comes to money in the bank, but generally have positive effects on share markets. Diversify, diversify, diversify While market movements can be unsettling, those invested for the medium to long-term in a welldiversified portfolio are best placed to see their wealth grow over time. Your financial adviser should ensure your portfolio offers the right balance of risk and return for your peace of mind. Amidst Brexit uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make sure your portfolio is not overweight in UK assets. Reduce risk – Brexit-related or otherwise – by spreading investments across regions, asset types and market sectors to limit exposure in any one area. Get your tax planning in order While there is no reason for your tax treatment in Spain to change post-Brexit, there are some circumstances where taxation may be affected. For example, once the UK leaves the EU/EEA, expatriates selling a home in Spain to buy a British property will no longer be eligible for capital gains tax relief. Take personalised advice to establish whether there are any potential implications and solutions for your family’s circumstances. Review your pension options Brexit should not affect expatriates’ access to UK pension funds or transfers to a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS). However, the UK could potentially extend today’s 25% ‘overseas transfer charge’ to include EU/EEA-based QROPS post-Brexit, so there may be a limited time for tax-free transfers. Transferring now will shelter pension funds from future changes to UK rules and can provide flexible currency options to protect your income from fluctuating exchange rates. However, it is crucial to seek personalised, regulated pensions advice to establish the right approach for you. In any case, make sure you regularly review your financial planning. Regardless of Brexit, your circumstances and objectives can change over time, so what is right for you now may not be so suitable in years to come. A locally-based financial adviser with cross-border expertise can help you plan if and when you need to take action so you can continue enjoying your chosen lifestyle in Spain. Summarised tax information is based upon our understanding of current laws and practices which may change. Individuals should seek personalised advice.
