A very warm welcome to the first full edition of 2010. The festive glow from the annual customaryover- indulgence has finally worn off and our sights are set firmly back on Baywatch. Our resolution for 2010is to continue the development of the magazine in order to provide an effective advertising medium for businesses and a useful and informative publication for our readership.

As you can see we have increased the Baywatch magazine to an A5 size. This is to reward ouradvertisers and readers with a larger and more high profile magazine which continues to increase inpopularity. Furthermore, we intend to bring on board a wide range of businesses throughout the year whilstimproving the content and variety of our articles, entertainment and regular features.

We will also work hard on increasing the number of printed copies so that we can expand our geo-graphical coverage thus benefiting advertisers and readers alike. In combination with our developments, wehave expanded Baywatch to incorporate the Spanish Community, aiming to have our main articles ofinterest in both English and Spanish, whilst also giving our advertisers the option of having their advert inboth languages too. In order to aid this process, we are pleased to announce a special promotion offeredby the translation services Al-Andalus. See below for details.

7THE BIG ZEDby

Bill Lowry

Back in the mid seventies I was lucky enough toown and ride a Big Zed 1 Kawasaki, in it’s day theKing of the Road. Often coping with the cold andrain, it seemed a rare luxury to take her out on adry sunny day. Well now some thirty odd years later, I decidedthat with it’s absolutely beautiful climate, Andalucia is the perfect place to bring “The King”back to life. The roads are just built for this bike.

Although out performed by almost everything elseon the road, she still delivers a great riding experience. Not to mention that the Zed is still oneof the best-looking bikes ever built! I often getstopped at gas stations and cafes with people remembering their experiences or just admiring the classic lines and chrome.

I have found over the past year and some 30,000kilometres that servicing and spare parts have notbeen a problem. These bikes can be easily beserviced by the owner and parts are easily accessible on the internet. Or BigZedz can helpout with ordering and delivering parts, servicing oradvice if you prefer.

If you are interested owning one of these timelessclassics, BigZedz have a couple of Zedz especially brought down from the UK, (one currently being transferred to the Spanish register, the other still on the UK reg) for sale, andjust to help I’m including 3 months warranty sogive us a call 609491114.

Rachel Williams, residente en Conil, disputará enFebrero de 2010 la prueba de Maratón para recaudar

fondos para la organización caritativa “Cancer Research UK”, dedicada principalmente a la

investigación y tratamiento del cáncer.Nacida en Swansea, ha dedicado los últimos meses al duro entrenamiento que ladureza de una carrera de 26 millas (42 kms) exige, y todo ello tan sólo motivada porla altruista intención de ayudar a aquellos (entre los que se encuentran parientes

ercanos a ella) que han sufrido esta enfermedad.

Tras haber finalizado tres medias maratones en España durante la pasada temporada y habercompetido en varias disciplinas de atletismo y natación en Gales, su país de origen, la misma se hadecidido a poner sus habilidades deportivas a disposición de quienes más lo necesitan, con elobjetivo de finalizar la gran carrera de 26 millas (42 kms) y recaudar dinero para la loable labordesempeñada por “Cancer Research UK”. Este es el mensaje que quiere haceros llegar al respecto:

“El día 14 de febrero de 2010 disputaré la maratón de Sevilla para recaudar fondos para destinarlosa la organización caritativa “Cancer Research UK”. Por el momento, llevo bien el plan deentrenamiento (a parte de un par de atracones que me he dado durante las navidades de mincepices; los más tradicionales pasteles navideños de Gran Bretaña!!) y soy bastante optimista en cuantoa la exitosa conclusión del desafío que me he propuesto. Elegí esta organización caritativa porque laenfermedad a la que dedica sus esfuerzos ha afectado recientemente a varios de mis familiares y amigos más cercanos. Tan sólo durante los últimos dos años he perdido a un tío y una tía por causade esta terrible enfermedad y he visto a mi mejor amiga luchar y recuperarse de la variante de lamisma llamada linfoma de Hodgkins. Correr este maratón para recaudar fondos es mi forma de ponermi granito de arena en la tan necesaria e inconmensurable tarea que desarrolla esta organización sinánimo de lucro. El objetivo de Rachel es recaudar en torno a las 500 libras.

Facts You Need to Know AboutSmoking....and How to Give Up for 2010

Dr Amy Simpsn, PhD (Cancer Research)

Did You Know?• There are about 4000 differentchemicals in tobacco smoke andmany are toxic, they can causecancer or damage the cells inyour body.• Smoking is the biggest singlecause of cancer in the world.• As well as cancer, smoking cancause heart disease, chronic lungdiseases such as acute bronchi-tis and emphysema, as well as impotence, infertility and pre-mature aging of the skin.• Smoking is also hard on theheart; it causes hardening of thearteries and subsequent heartattacks

Some Facts May be Difficult toInhaleYY

• Half of all regular smokers will diefrom their habit....and half of these willbe in their middle ages• The more you smoke and the longeryou smoke the greater your risk ofdeveloping a smoking related disease• Smoking increases the risk ofleukaemia and Hodgkin´s disease(cancer of the lymph glands) andsome bowel cancers• Coronary heart disease and strokeare types of cardiovascular diseasecaused by smoking.“If all smokers in the UK quit thisyear, over 120,000 lives will besaved!” Cancer Research UK

Smoking is also hardon the heart; it causes

hardening of the arteries and heart

attacks

Tips to Help You Give Up.....• Write a list of the reasons why you want tostop, keep them with you and refer to themwhen tempted to light up. • Set a date for stopping and try to stopcompletely. • Tell everyone that you are giving up smoking.Friends and family often give support and mayhelp you.• Get rid of ashtrays, lighters, and all evidenceof cigarettes• Be prepared for some withdrawal symptomswhen you stop smoking, these may include:nausea, headaches, anxiety, and irritability,craving and coughing. These are caused by thelack of nicotine that your body has been usedto. They tend to peak after 12-24 hours, andthen gradually ease over 2-4 weeks.• Be aware of situations in which you are likelyto want to smoke, especially drinking alcohol asthis is often associated with failing when tryingto stop smoking.

• Take one day at a time and mark off eachsuccessful day on a calendar so that when youfeel tempted to smoke you can tell yourself thatyou don't want to start all over again.• Be positive. You can tell people that you don'tsmoke. After a few weeks you should feel better,taste your food more, and cough less. • Don’t despair if you fail. On average, peoplewho eventually stop smoking have made 3 or 4previous attempts, but keep trying!• For the vain amongst us, giving up smokingmeans you will smell nicer, your will have clearerskin, whiter teeth, and your hair will be thickerand glossier!

It is the time when locals put on their fancydress and go out and enjoy themselves, gettinginvolved in celebrations that take place all overthe city, where you can feel the true carnival spirit.It is an experience not to be missed, so if you have anoutfit and are up for a good time, go along and enjoythis unique and colourful experience. Parades, performances, food and drink, it is difficult to definethe carnival in Cádiz, whose festivities officially takeplace from 12th to the 21st February 2010. These dates, however, can be slightly misleading ascarnival fever builds up from the start of the year andthe street parties rarely finish on the dates given. Thecarnival is based around an annual theatre competition called the Falla. This is where over 100different carnival groups compete with their ownunique songs, performances and stories, usually of atopical and humorous nature. The Falla grand final,which is held on the first Friday of the carnival andlasts until the following morning, is one of the carnival´s main attractions.

El Carnaval de Cádiz se celebra desde hace másde seis siglos, y aún así cada año es diferente yestá lleno de frescura. Es la época del año en laque los gaditanos se ponen sus disfraces ysalen a la calle a disfrutar, participando en todoslos eventos que tienen lugar por toda la ciudad,donde se puede vivir el verdadero espíritu delcarnaval. Es una experiencia que no te puedesperder, así que si tienes un disfraz y te loquieres pasar bien, no dudes en ir y disfruta deestá excepcional y pintoresca experiencia. Cabalgatas, actuaciones, comida y bebida; es difí-cil describir el carnaval en Cádiz, que este año secelebra, oficialmente, entre el 12 y el 21 de febrerode 2010. No obstante, esta información podría serun tanto engañosa ya que desde principios de añoempieza a notarse la fiebre carnavalesca y la fiestaen la calle casi nunca termina en las fechas indi-cadas. El carnaval gira en torno a un concursoanual de agrupaciones conocido como el Falla. Eneste concurso más de 100 agrupaciones car-navalescas compiten con canciones e historiaspropias, normalmente sobre temas de actualidad ocon clave de humor. La Gran Final del Falla, quese celebra el primer viernes del carnaval por lanoche y que dura hasta altas horas de la madru-gada, es una de las atracciones principales del car-naval.

Performing Groups of the Cadiz Carnival

There are 5 main groups of theatricalperformers who compete in the Fallacompetition . Firstly, and perhaps the mostfamous of the groups, are the chirigotaswho are known to be witty, satirical groupswho train for the whole year to sing aboutpolitics and topics in the news, with all oftheir members wearing identical costumes.Secondly are the choirs (coros), whichconsist of larger groups that travel throughthe streets on flat-bed carts or wagons,singing, with a small ensemble of guitarsand lutes. Their characteristic composition isthe "Carnival Tango" and they alternatebetween comical and serious repertory, withspecial emphasis on lyrical homages to thecity and its people. Their costumes are byfar, the most sophisticated and intricate ofall. Another category of carnival performersare the comparsas. These are the seriouscounterparts to the chirigotas in Cádiz. Theirperformances are based on poetic lyrics andcriticisms and they tend to have moreelaborate music. They are easily recognizedby the high singing voice of the males in thegroup.

It is a widely-held opinion that the city of Cádizis blessed with the wittiest people in Spain, so

it is not surprising that the main characteristics of the carnival in Cádiz are the

sharp criticisms, the droll plays on words,stinging sarcasm and the mockery of parody.

Agrupaciones del Carnavalde Cádiz

Existen 5 tipos de agrupa-ciones que compiten en el con-curso del Falla. En primerlugar tenemos las chirigo-tas, quizás el tipo de agrupa-ciones más famoso, que secaracteriza por su ingenio y susátira y que ensaya durantetodo el año para cantar sobretemas políticos y de actual-idad y cuyos componentes sedisfrazan de manera similar.

En segundo luga tenemoslos coros, agrupacionescon un mayor número dec o m p o n e n t e s q u erecorre las calle cantando,montados en bateas y quellevan un acompañamiende guitarras y bandurrias.Su composición máscaracterística es el“tanguillo” y en cuanto a latemática, alternan en surepertorio los temas dehumor con asuntos másserios, con una especialatención a los homenajesa la ciudad y a sus gentes.Sus disfraces son condiferencia los mássofisticados y complejosen comparación con lasdemás agrupaciones.Otra de las agrupacionesson las comparsas. EnCádiz, son el equivalenteserio de las chirigotas.

Sus actuaciones se basan en cancionesmás poéticas y críticas y suelen tener unamúsica más elaborada. Normalmente sereconocen por las típicas voces altas dealgunos miembros de la agrupación. Se suele decir que la ciudad de Cádizha sido bendecida con la gente másingeniosa de España, por lo que nonos sorprende que algunas de lascaracterísticas principales del car-

naval de Cádiz sean las críticas mor-daces, los divertidos juegos de

palabra, el sarcasmo y lasparodiasurlonas.

Continued from previous page..........Other performers who can be found in the streets at carnival time are the quartets (cuartetos), thatcan, oddly, be composed of five, four, or even just three members. The quartets don't bring a guitar,only a kazoo and two sticks that they use to mark the rhythm. They use set-piece theatre scenes,improvisations, and music, and they are purely comical. The minimalist carnival groups in Cádiz are the romanceros, these are perhaps the oldest, andcertainly the most invariant carnival groups in Cádiz throughout history. A romancero is a single costumed person who brings a big easel on which posters help him to tell a story with images. Theromancero recites humorous verses while pointing at aspects of the pictures and drawings with a longstick.

People come from all overSpain and the world to

witness the Cadiz Carnival,which is the third largest

festival in the world, next tothe Rio de Janiero and

Trinidad Carnivals.

Continuación de la página anterior^^^Otras agrupaciones que pueden verse por las calles durante el carnaval son los cuartetos que, porextraño que parezca, pueden contar con cinco, cuatro o incluso tres componentes. Los cuartetos nollevan guitarra, únicamente un pito y una pareja de palos que utilizan para marcar el ritmo. Usanelementos escénicos teatrales, improvisaciones y música y son totalmente cómicos. Las agrupaciones más minimalistas en Cádiz son los romanceros, quizás las agrupaciones másantiguas y que han cambiado menos a lo largo de la historia. El romancero consta de una solapersona disfrazada que lleva un caballete con pósters que utiliza para narrar una historia por mediode imágenes. El romancero recita cómicos versos mientras va señalando las imágenes y los dibujoscon un palo largo.

Durante estas fechas viene gente de toda España y de otras partes del mundo para pres-enciar el carnaval de Cádiz, que es el tercer carnaval más grande del mundo después del

carnaval de Río de Janeiro y del carnaval de Trinidad.

The Origins of Carnivals in Cadiz and Throughout SpainThere are a few speculations on the origins of Carnival in Spain. Most popularly, it is believed that theterm Carnival derives from the words "farewell to the flesh," a reference to the excesses that led upto the sombre Lent. Some suspect Carnival is derived from the Roman solstice festival, the Saturnalia, where participants indulged in much drinking and dancing. Saturnalia is believed to havehad the first parade floats, called the 'carrus navalis'.

Carnival in Spain is celebrated nationwide though the most raucous festivities are in the Canary Islands, Cadiz and Sitges. While each town has its own unique flavour of celebration, they all havea devotion to having a good time. In these main destinations during Carnival it seems that no onesleeps as the drinking and dancing go from dusk until dawn. You will see extravagant costumes andpeople in masks everywhere, and in any of Spain's Carnivals, you'll have a lot more fun participatingin the masquerading than you will just watching!

Without a doubt, the Cadiz Carnival is among the most beautiful of festivals in Spain.

Colourful parades, satiricalperformances,f lamencorecitals, and general merriment are just some ofthe key elements of this festival.

Aunque cada ciudad celebrael carnaval con un toque pro-pio, todas son devotas depasar un buen rato. En los en-claves principales, la ciudadparece no descansar durantelos carnavales ya que la fiestay la bebida fluye hasta elamanecer. Verás por todasparte disfraces extravagantesy gente con caretas, y encualquier carnaval de España,¡te lo pasarás mucho mejor site disfrazas que si sólo loobservas desde fuera!

Los Orígenes del Carnaval enCádiz y en el Resto de EspañaExisten algunas teorías sobre losorígenes del carnaval en España.La creencia más popular es que eltérmino carnaval deriva de laspalabras “despedida a la carne”,que hace referencia a los excesosque condujeron a la sombríaCuaresma. Algunos piensan queel carnaval proviene del festivalcelebrado en diciembre en elImperio Romano, conocido comoSaturnalia,durante el que se bebíay bailaba en abundancia. Sepiensa que Saturnalia es la cunade los desfiles de carrozas,llamados “carrus navalis”. Elcarnaval se celebra en todaEspaña aunque los carnavalesmás escandalosos son los de lasIslas Canarias, los de Cádiz y losde Sitges.

Sin duda alguna, elCarnaval de Cádiz es unade las fiestas más bonitas

de España. Cabalgatasllenas de color,

actuaciones satíricas,recitales de flamenco y unaalegría generalizada sonalgunos de los elementosclave de esta fiesta. Deja

la timidez en casa y sigue alas multitudes para

encontrar las mejores fiestas.

Useful Tips when Visiting the Carnival

• While exploring carnival it is advisable to remember that this festivalattracts people from all over the world which inevitably includes someunruly folk and therefore all the usual advice for travelers applies;• Do not carry more money than you can afford to lose• Keep all possessions close to you at all times. • While Cadiz is known as a wonderful place for tourists from all countries, at Carnival time it pays to be a little cautious! • During carnival time the city gets very crowded that you may loose allsense of direction! Roads and buildings become unrecognizable with allthe colours, movement and people. However, the local Guardia andCadiz Police are sure to be on hand to point you in the right direction.• Driving through and parking in the centre of Cadiz can be a challengeat the best of times, so during Carnival time it may be best to seek traintimes or other travel options to avoid being stuck behind floats in theparade on the way to the car park! • It is likely that some of the main routes into town will be closed off andtherefore hindering your access by car. Most of all though, it is highly recommended that you let yourinhibitions go and have fun and enjoy yourself with the locals atthis very special time of the year! Baywatch 2010

PET PAGETips on House Training Your New

Puppy!It is well known these days that a dog is forlife, not just for Christmas, so if, like us, youare lucky enough to have acquired a newpuppy during the festive season, here are afew helpful hints on how to avoid little´parcels´ they might leave for you around thehouse!• Keep your puppy confined to a small play area atfirst if you cannot keep an eye on him/her, or whenyou are away from home. This area should have afloor that can be easily cleaned. • Ensure they have a comfortable bed, a bowl offresh water, plenty of hollow chew toys. The bestchew toys are strong and sterilised hollow toys. Youwill be teaching him to target his chewing at chewtoys and nothing else. • Create a toilet area at the furthest point from hisbed. • Try to always leave the house through the samedoor - the door you'd like your dog to scratch at tosignal his need to go out in the future.• Try to take your dog out at around the same timeseach day. A routine will eventually be established,and your dog will soon know to hold it in until youtake him out. • If your not yet housebroken dog is used toroaming freely around the house, look for clues thattell you he needs to go. Your dog may suddenly puthis nose down and sniff the ground intently. He maybegin to circle an area. Or, he may stare at the doorwith an intense look on his face. Signs like these tellyou to drop what you're doing and get that dog out ofthe house.• If you catch your dog doing his business inside(and only if you catch him - not after you discoverhe's already committed the crime), rush over andstop him by grasping his collar, pulling up on it, andsaying, "NO" in a deep, stern voice. Then take himoutside to let him finish up and praise him with patson the head or a pleasantly chirped, "Good Fido!"when he does. Please note; Don't say "Fido" if yourdog's name is Rex!!You should always try to take your puppy out at thefollowing times:• Immediately after the puppy wakes up • First thing in the morning • Last thing at night• A few minutes after eating • After playing • After any excitement (e.g. after visitors greet yourpuppy). Good Luck! Baywatch 2010

¡Consejos para Entrenar a TuNuevo Cachorro!

Ya se sabe que un perro es para toda la vida, nosólo para Navidad, por lo que si, como nosotros,has tenido la suerte de adquirir un nuevo ca-chorro durante estas fiestas, ¡aquí te presenta-mos algunos útiles consejos para evitar las“sorpresas” que te puedan dejar por la casa!• Al principio, mantén a tu cachorro dentro de unazona pequeña cerrada si no puedes estar pendientede él/ella en todo momento, o cuando salgas de casa.Esta zona debe tener una superficie fácil de limpiar. • Asegúrate de que tienen una cama cómoda, uncacharro con agua limpia y muchos juguetes huecospara morder. Los mejores juguetes son los jugueteshuecos de materiales duros esterilizados. Con esto leenseñarás a que sacie sus ganas de morder con losjuguetes y no con otras cosas. • Crea una zona donde pueda hacer sus necesi-dades lo más lejos posible de la cama. • Intenta salir siempre de casa por la misma puerta,que será la puerta que querrás que tu perro arañecomo señal futura de que necesita que lo saques.• Intenta sacar a tu perro a las mismas horas todoslos días. Al final se establecerá una rutina, y tu perroaprenderá a aguantar hasta que lo saques. • Si tu perro todavía no está entrenado y andalibremente por toda la casa, intenta darte cuenta delos signos que te indiquen que necesita hacer susnecesidades. Es posible que de pronto tu perroagache la cabeza y empiece a oler el suelo fijamente.Puede que empiece a andar alrededor de un mismopunto. O es posible que se quede mirando a la puertacon una mirada intensa. Señales como éstas teindican que debes dejar lo que estás haciendo y quenecesitas sacar al perro.• Si coges a tu perro haciendo sus necesidades den-tro de casa (pero sólo si lo pillas, y nunca si des-cubres el delito después de que lo haya cometido),ve corriendo y páralo agarrándolo por el collar,apartándolo y diciendo “NO” con voz firme. En-tonces sácalo fuera para que termine y aprémialeacariciándole la cabeza o diciéndole con voz amable,"Bien, Fido", cuando termine. ¡¡Ten en cuenta,que si el nombre de tu perro es “Rex” no lo vayas allamar “Fido”!!Siempre debes intentar sacar a tu perro en losmomentos que te presentamos a continuación:• Justo después de que el cachorro se despierte • Lo primero que debes hacer por la mañana• Lo último que debes hacer por la noche• Algunos minutos después de que coma• Después de jugar• Después de cualquier experiencia emocionante (porejemplo, después de que la gente que te visite saludeal cachorro) Baywatch 2010

‘The Hammer’by Don Ross

Have you ever hammered a nail into a piece ofwood like this?Using a one-piece take away with your arm andthen breaking your wrist to complete your `back-swing` movement. Then start back to the nail bypulling the end of the hammer down then apply-ing the head, using your left hand when you areright handed.Never, why this would be a completely unnaturalmovement!

Would you not take the hammer in your right hand,start the movement by moving the hammer headand then allow your wrist to break at the same time.On the way back down you would start the ´downswing` with the hammer head.

So why in golf should we not motivate by movingthe club head first with the right hand and not thinkof the futility of a one-piece takeaway from the leftshoulder, motivating with the left arm?

Follow the three practice tips and no matter your level of handicap your ball striking will improve. I guarantee this.Take the club grip in your right hand in the position that your right hand would bein if you were holding the grip with two hands. Place your left hand finger tips onyour right arm and without moving your right arm move the club head away fromthe ball some six inches. When placing the right hand on the grip try inserting awine cork in the position where your left thumb would be. This allows you to holdthe grip with the club in your fingers and not your hand. This allows you to motivate the movement of the club head and not your arm. To return the club head to the ball feel that the club head weight starts the movement back to the ball and you will see that, at impact the right forearm isshort of the starting position, but the ball has gone.Now you have the activity in the part that matters in golf. The club head.Please always remember that your job in golf is to motivate by moving the partthat moves the ball.You don’t move the ball you move the club head that will move the ball.STEP 2ADDING THE LEFT HANDWith both hands on the grip repeat the same exercise with all of the motivation coming from the righthand. This means, backswing with right hand and downswing with right hand, follow through with nothing. NEXT EDITION: STEP 3 HOW TO HOLD THE GRIP, NOT ´GRIP´ THE GRIP!

Agarre el palo con su mano derecha en la posición en la que estaría su mano derecha si agarrase elpalo con las dos manos. Posicione los dedos de la mano izquierda sobre su brazo derecho y, sinmover el brazo derecho, separe la cabeza del palo de la bola unos 15cm. Cuando coja el palo consu mano derecha intente insertar un corcho de vino en el sitio donde estaría supulgar izquierdo. Esto le ayuda a coger el palo con sus dedos y no con la palmade la mano; y además le permite iniciar el movimiento de la cabeza del palo y nodel brazo derecho.Para volver con el palo hacia la bola debe sentir que el peso de la cabeza delpalo es la que inicia el movimiento y verá que, en el impacto, su antebrazo dere-cho se queda un poco corto de la posición inicial, pero la bola ha salido volando.Con esto ha conseguido mover la parte fundamental del golf: la cabeza del palo.Recuerde siempre que lo que realmente importa en el golf es mover aquello queluego hará que la bola salga volando. Usted no mueve la bola, sino que mueve lacabeza del palo que hace mover la bola.Paso 2.AÑADIENDO LA MANO IZQUIERDACon ambas manos cogiendo el palo repita el ejercicio anterior de separar la cabeza del palo de la bolamotivado por la mano derecha. En otras palabras, suba el palo con su mano derecha y baje el palohacia la bola tambien con la mano derecha; y el follow through da igual como lo haga porque la bolaya estará volando diez metros por delante de usted.EN EL MES SIGUIENTE CÓMO SUJETAR EL PALO, NO SIMPLEMENTE AGARRARLO.

‘El Martillo’ by Don Ross ¿Ha intentado alguna vez clavar un clavo en unamadera de esta forma?Levantando el martillo de manera rígida y despuesdoblando las muñecas hasta completar elbackswing. Luego, volviendo hacia el clavo tirandodel puño del martillo y enderezando la muñecahaciendo que se mueva la cabeza del martillo; ytodo esto con la mano izquierda cuando enrealidad es usted diestro.

¡Nunca! Porque sería un movimientocompletamente anti-natural.

La manera en que usted lo haría sería cogiendo elmartillo con su mano derecha; empezar elmovimiento con la cabeza del martillo hacia atrásdejando que su muñeca se doble al mismo tiempo.Al volver hacia el clavo, movemos tambien lacabeza del martillo con la muñeca.Entonces ¿por qué en el golf no movemos primero lacabeza del palo con la mano derecha y en lugar deun movimiento rígido motivado por el movimiento delhombro izquierdo y la mano izquierda? Siga estostres consejos de práctica y no importará el nivel dejuego que tenga, que le garantizo que su contactocon la bola mejorará notablemente.

Over 70 ladies dressed in their glad-rags andfull of Christmas spirit congregated (along with afew gentlemen who were brave enough to accompany them!) for a very pleasant fourcourse meal and with drinks included.

It was splendidly organised by the BreakfastClub Committee, (Marie Brown, Chair andmembers Sue Clark, Pam Gallagher, JoanGrant, Sue Martin and Jenny Neesom).

The meal was followed by a classic Christmaspantomime.

It was a cleverly adapted but simple version ofCinderella, comically and excellently performedby some of the committee members.

Details of the Chiclana Women’s Breakfast Club Meetings and their forthcoming outings,can be found on the Community News pages of this magazine.

Narrator: Jenny NeesomCinderella: Marie BrownUgly Sister: Pam GallagherHandsome Prince:Sue ClarkFairy Godmother: Joan Grant

A delightful and entertaining Christmas lunchwas had by all at the Pico deOro celebration rooms in the

centre of Chiclana on Monday 7th

December 2009

After the panto came the dancing, lead gracefully by Marie, who instructed us in the GayGordons and The Valeta and finishing with ahigh spirited Barn Dance. Then came the obligatory post dinner game, organised by JuliaWood, which involved locating various randomobjects from around the room, including a pair ofmen’s underpants (which proved somewhat challenging given the 90% of women in theroom, needless to say, the waiter did a runner!).

However, not to be defeated, the women foundthe item with thanks to Don Gallagher who was avery good sport on the day! It is safe to say awonderful time was had by all and we thank theWomen’s Breakfast Club committee for organising such a great afternoon! Happy NewYear to you all! Baywatch 2010

Chiclana Women’s Breakfast Club Christmas Lunch42

To advertise or not to advertise? That is the question...

Don’t allow your business to underachieve in 2010, let our Marketing Consultant dispel some of themyths and misconceptions regarding this delicate financial matter.

1. “ The Credit Crunch” I accept that there are a great many financial issues throughout the World right now and that customerexpenditure is less than it has been in recent years, however, people are still spending! Therefore it is critically important that if,as a business owner, you wish to attract these people to you thenyou absolutely need to advertise to make them aware of your presence. In the UK right now many businesses are offering ahuge range of incentives to get customers through their doorsbecause they know that they are likely to make secondary purchases as well as what they originally went in for. The oldadage goes: ‘It is better to have a little of something than all ofnothing! ‘

2. “Business is quiet therefore I can’t afford to advertise” This seems like a sound, logical statement but in the marketing world this is a statement that conflicts itself, a true oxymoron. Yourlevel of custom is unlikely to increase if you use this business approach beacause it means you areleaving everything to chance and your cash flow can simply not run on luck alone. With a bit ofpro-active thinking you can do your best to turn this situation around. If an advert only generates oneextra customer each month you will still have more than covered the advertising cost and improvedthe cashflow. It is important to continue to advertise to keep your business known in the public domain as you will dramatically improve the chances of potential customers finding you and subsequently coming back to you.

3. “I tried ONE advert and it did not produce any results” Again, at first glance, this appears tobe make sense but if you think about how and when customers buy your product/service you mayfind that you have left your results to chance. Potential customers will buy when they need or wantsomething and it could very well be that, during the period of your advertisement, they did not needor want what you have to offer. Advertising will not always be a quick fix as it depends hugely on whatyou are offering e.g. a dentist will only be visited when required, a card shop will only be visited whenan occasion is coming up. Therefore you need to make sure your potential customers are aware ofyou in readiness for that time when they do want your product or service.

4. “I am so busy that i do not want/need any more customers right now ” It is hard to disagreewith this logic but as mentioned previously advertising may not always produce immediate results andin this scenario you should definitely be looking at business from a longer term viewpoint. A periodof comparative quiet almost always occurs after a busy time (especially if your business is seasonal)and it is this quiet period that you should try to minimise. The reason this is so important is to helpprotect your cashflow. Predicting your cashflow over the whole year becomes much easier if thepeaks and troughs of busy and quiet periods can be smoothed out therefore keep your advertisinggoing to help combat the lull when the rush has passed.

Summary The key mantra with any advertising is to research the right media for your business marketing, make sure that as many people are aware of your business as possible and keep yourname in the public domain throughout the year whether you are busy or quiet as the rewards are likelyto far outweigh the costs.

¿Anunciarse o no anunciarse? Esa es la cuestiónY

Consiga que su negocio rinda como debe en 2010; permita que nuestro Asesor independiente deMarketing, procedente del Reino Unido, disipe algunos de los mitos y malentendidos relacionados conla delicada situación financiera en la que vivimos.

1. “La Crisis Crediticia”. Reconozco que, en estos momentos, existen problemas financieros encualquier arte del mundo y que el gasto de cliente es inferior en comparación con años anteriores;sin embargo, ¡la gente sigue gastando! Por ello es fundamental que si usted, como empresario, deseaatraer a estos clientes hacia su negocio necesita anunciarse para darse a conocer. En estos momentos, en el Reino Unido, muchos negocios ofrecen un inmenso abanico de incentivos paraatraer clientes, ya que saben que es probable que dichos clientes se lleven algo más de lo que enprincipio fueron a comprar, y como dice el refrán: “Es mejor un poco de algo, ¡que todo de nada!"

2. “Hay muy poca actividad comercial, así que no puedo permitirme un anuncio”. Parece una afirmación sólida y lógica, pero en el mundo del marketing esta afirmación se contradice a si misma,de hecho es un oxímoron. Por culpa de esta mentalidad, su clientela no aumentará ya que usted loestá dejando todo en manos del azar y el flujo de caja no se alimenta únicamente de suerte. Con unpensamiento proactivo usted puede hacer todo lo posible para cambiar esta situación. Incluso si unanuncio sólo le proporciona un cliente adicional al mes, tendrá dinero más que suficiente para cubrirlos costes publicitarios y mejorar el flujo de caja. Es importante seguir anunciándose para que lagente siga conociendo su negocio ya que aumentará dramáticamente la posibilidad de que algúnposible cliente encuentre su negocio y vuelva una y otra vez en el futuro.

3. “Probé con UN anuncio y no obtuve ningún resultado”. Una vez más, a primera vista, esta afirmación parece tener sentido pero si analizamos cómo y cuándo adquieren los clientes sus productos/servicios se dará cuenta de que ha dejado los resultados en manos del azar. Los clientescompran cuando necesitan o quieren algo y es posible que durante el periodo en el que usted seanunció, no necesitaran o quisieran los productos/servicios que usted ofrece. Los anuncios no seránsiempre la solución mágica a sus problemas ya que dependen en gran medida del producto/servicioque usted ofrece; por ejemplo, la gente sólo va al dentista cuando es necesario, o a una tienda detarjetas para felicitaciones cuando se avecina una ocasión especial. Por ello es necesario asegurarse de que los posibles clientes son conscientes de su disponibilidad para cuando necesitensus productos o servicios.

4. “Tengo tanto trabajo que no deseo/necesito más clientes en estos momentos.” Es difícil no estarde acuerdo con esta afirmación, ¡pero voy a hacerlo de todos modos! Como dijimos antes, es posible que los anuncios no produzcan siempre resultados inmediatos, y en este contexto deberíaestudiar su negocio desde un punto de vista más a largo plazo. Los periodos de cierta calma casi

siempre vienen después de periodos de mucha actividad (especialmente si usted tiene un negociode temporada) y es aquí donde debe centrarse, en intentar minimizar estos periodos de calma. Elmotivo de su importancia es ayudar a proteger su flujo de caja. Predecir su flujo de caja durante todoel año se convierte en una tarea mucho más sencilla si se pueden suavizar los picos y los puntosbajos de los periodos de ajetreo y de calma, manteniendo, por tanto, su publicidad en funcionamientopara ayudar a combatir la calma que llega una vez que las prisas se han ido.

En resumen: La clave de la publicidad es buscar el medio correcto para realizar las campañas de marketing de su negocio; asegúrese de que su negocio es conocido por tanta gente como sea posible y que su marca es parte del dominio público durante todo el año, ya sea durante periodos deajetreo o de clama porque, probablemente, los beneficios superarán con creces los costes.

The Sunshine Tour is a huge annual competition for horses and theirowners to compete in events such as show jumping and dressage. It is aspectacular show and if you are into horses it is well worth a trip to Vejer.There are also other events that make up the Sunshine Tour, the most popularof which are briefly explained here.

Show Jumping is one of the most spectated events and involves the horse andrider jumping a series of obstacles in pre-determined order. The riders arejudged on the ability of the horse to jump the fences and also the synchronicityshown by the team throughout the course. Another popular event is Dressage,which is one of the main disciplines that forms horse riding. It is a way of traininga horse whilst maintaining harmony and balance in all activities. There is also anEndurance competition which tests both the physical and mental ability of thehorse and rider team, since both must cross a great distances in one day, throughdifficult terrain in a race against time. Driving a horse and cart is another skill test for both horse and rider. Thisinvolves careful handing of the horses attached to a vehicle through anotherdifficult course. The course can be attempted with either 2 or 4 horses pullingthe cart. Finally there is the Complete Contest for horses and riders, which isa combination of 3 disciplines, over 3 days, and includes dressage, crosscountry riding and show jumping. An intense competion, but exciting too!For more information please see the What’s On Guide in this magazine.

El Salto, es una disciplina dentro de la equitación que consiste en unacontecimiento sincronizado juzgado en la capacidad del caballo y del jinete desaltar sobre una serie de obstáculos, en un orden dado. Esta disciplina es unade las más populares de los deportes ecuestres y la más usada por lo jinetes dehoy en día. Tambien es Doma Clasica, consiste en el entrenamiento de un caballo por medio del cual el jinete consigue que éste realice todas sus órdenescon armonía, equilibrio y actividad.

Su propósito fundamental es desarrollar, con métodos de entrenamientoprogresivos, la capacidad y la buena voluntad atlética de un caballo.Resistencia, el raid es una disciplina ecuestre en la cual se pone a prueba lavelocidad, habilidad y la resistencia física y psicológica de caballo y jinete, yaque ambos deben recorrer grandes distancias en un día, a través de los másdiversos terrenos y contra el tiempo. Enganches es una disciplina de laequitación, consiste en el manejo de un tiro de caballos enganchados a uncarruaje, sobre el cual los conductores tienen que demostrar la pericia en laconducción.

El tiro de caballos puede estar formado por un caballo (Limonera), dos (Tronco)o cuatro (Cuartas). Y finalmente El Concurso Completo de equitación, es unacombinación de tres disciplinas ecuestres, realizadas en tres días consecutivos,que abarca doma, cross-country y salto. ¡Una competición emocionante!

Logic Tales Making Music Monday = Val, Violin. Tuesday = Tom,flute. Wednesday = Sally, piano. Thurs-day = Will, clarinet. Friday = Roy, guitar.

Full Solution:The clarinet and flute players are bothmale (“his´lesson”). As Will plays later inthe week than Tom, Will must be the clar-inet player, leaving Roy to play the dayafter him, leaving them both to play on Thursday and Friday. Due to this, Sally must play the piano onWednesday, as she cannot play any otherday. Val plays before either Tom or Will,so she must play on Monday, leaving Tomto play the flute on Tuesday. As Val doesnot play the guitar, she must play the onlyother instrument, the violin, leaving Roy toplay the guitar.
