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 resolutionfor 2010 is to continue the development of the magazine in order to provide an effective advertisingmedium 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 yearwhilst improving 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 develop-ments, we have expanded Baywatch to incorporate the Spanish Community, aiming to have our mainarticles of interest in both English and Spanish, whilst also giving our advertisers the option of havingtheir advert in both languages too. In order to aid this process, we are pleased to announce a specialpromotion offered by the translation services Al-Andalus. See below for details.

7THE BIG ZEDby

Bill Lowry

Back in the mid seventies I was lucky enoughto own and ride a Big Zed 1 Kawasaki, in it’sday the King of the Road. Often coping with thecold and rain, it seemed a rare luxury to takeher out on a dry sunny day. Well now some thirty odd years later, I decidedthat with it’s absolutely beautiful climate, Andalucia is the perfect place to bring “TheKing” back to life. The roads are just built forthis bike.

Although out performed by almost everythingelse on the road, she still delivers a great rid-ing experience. Not to mention that the Zed isstill one of the best-looking bikes ever built! Ioften get stopped at gas stations and cafeswith people remembering their experiences orjust admiring the classic lines and chrome.

I have found over the past year and some30,000 kilometres that servicing and spareparts have not been a problem. These bikescan be easily be serviced by the owner andparts are easily accessible on the internet. OrBigZedz can help out with ordering and deliv-ering parts, servicing or advice if you prefer.

If you are interested owning one of these time-less classics, 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,and just to help I’m including 3 monthswarranty so give us a call 609491114.

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

la organización caritativa “Cancer Research UK”, dedicadaprincipalmente a la investigación y tratamiento del cáncer.Nacida en Swansea, ha dedicado los últimos meses al duro entrenamiento que la dureza deuna carrera de 26 millas (42 kms) exige, y todo ello tan sólo motivada por la 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 destinarlos ala organización caritativa “Cancer Research UK”. Por el momento, llevo bien el plan de entrenamiento(a parte de un par de atracones que me he dado durante las navidades de mince pices; los más tradi-cionales pasteles navideños de Gran Bretaña!!) y soy bastante optimista en cuanto a la exitosa conclusión del desafío que me he propuesto. Elegí esta organización caritativa porque la enfermedada la que dedica sus esfuerzos ha afectado recientemente a varios de mis familiares y a migos máscercanos. Tan sólo durante los últimos dos años he perdido a un tío y una tía por causa de estaterrible enfermedad y he visto a mi mejor amiga luchar y recuperarse de la variante de la mismallamada linfoma de Hodgkins. Correr este maratón para recaudar fondos es mi forma de poner migranito 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.

being a non-smoker......

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) and somebowel cancers• Coronary heart disease and strokeare types of cardiovascular diseasecaused by smoking.

“If all smokers in the UK quit this year,over 120,000 lives will be saved!”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 whenyou feel tempted to smoke you can tell your-self that you don't want to start all over again.• Be positive. You can tell people that youdon't smoke. After a few weeks you shouldfeel better, taste your food more, and coughless. • Don’t despair if you fail. On average, peo-ple who eventually stop smoking have made 3or 4 previous attempts, but keep trying!• For the vain amongst us, giving up smokingmeans you will smell nicer, your will haveclearer skin, whiter teeth, and your hair will bethicker and glossier!For more information on the effects ofsmoking and for help with how to give up,visit the NHS website www.givingupsmoking.co.uk or call theirhelpline on 0800 169 0 169

It is the time when locals put ontheir fancy dress and go out and enjoy them-selves, getting involved in celebrations thattake place all over the city, where you can feelthe true carnival spirit. It is an experience not tobe missed, so if you have an outfit and are up fora good time, go along and enjoy this unique andcolourful experience. Parades, performances, foodand drink, it is difficult to define the carnival inCádiz, whose festivities officially take place from12th to the 21st February 2010. These dates, however, can be slightly misleadingas carnival fever builds up from the start of theyear and the street parties rarely finish on thedates given. The carnival is based around an an-nual theatre competition called the Falla. This iswhere over 100 different carnival groups competewith their own unique songs, performances andstories, usually of a topical and humorous nature.The Falla grand final, which is held on the first Fri-day of the carnival and lasts until the followingmorning, 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 lo quierespasar bien, no dudes en ir y disfruta de está ex-cepcional y pintoresca experiencia. Cabalgatas, actuaciones, comida y bebida; es difícildescribir el carnaval en Cádiz, que este año se cel-ebra, oficialmente, entre el 12 y el 21 de febrero de2010. No obstante, esta información podría ser untanto engañosa ya que desde principios de año em-pieza a notarse la fiebre carnavalesca y la fiesta enla calle casi nunca termina en las fechas indicadas.El carnaval gira en torno a un concurso anual deagrupaciones conocido como el Falla. En este con-curso más de 100 agrupaciones carnavalescas com-piten con canciones e historias propias,normalmente sobre temas de actualidad o con clavede humor. La Gran Final del Falla, que se celebrael primer viernes del carnaval por la noche y quedura hasta altas horas de la madrugada, es una delas atracciones principales del carnaval.

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 compositionis the "Carnival Tango" and they alternatebetween comical and serious repertory,with special emphasis on lyrical homagesto the city and its people. Their costumesare by far, the most sophisticated and in-tricate of all. Another category of carnivalperformers are the comparsas. These arethe serious counterparts to the chirigotasin Cádiz. Their performances are based onpoetic lyrics and criticisms and they tend tohave more elaborate music. They areeasily recognized by the high singingvoice of the males in the group.

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 delCarnaval de Cádiz

Existen 5 tipos de agrupa-ciones que compiten en elconcurso del Falla. Enprimer lugar tenemos laschirigotas, quizás el tipo deagrupaciones más famoso,que se caracteriza por su in-genio y su sátira y que en-saya durante todo el añopara cantar sobre temaspolíticos y de actualidad ycuyos componentes se dis-frazan 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. Otrade las agrupaciones sonlas comparsas. En Cádiz,son el equivalente serio delas chirigotas.

Sus actuaciones se basan en cancionesmás poéticas y críticas y suelen teneruna música más elaborada. Normal-mente se reconocen por las típicasvoces altas de algunos miembros de laagrupación. Se suele decir que la ciudad de Cádizha sido bendecida con la gente másingeniosa de España, por lo que no

nos sorprende que algunas de las car-acterísticas principales del carnavalde Cádiz sean las críticas mordaces,los divertidos juegos de palabra, elsarcasmo y las parodiasurlonas.

Continued from previous page..........Other performers who can be found in the streets at carnival time are the quartets (cuartetos),that can, oddly, be composed of five, four, or even just three members. The quartets don't bringa guitar, only a kazoo and two sticks that they use to mark the rhythm. They use set-piece theatrescenes, 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 witha long stick.

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, por ex-traño que parezca, pueden contar con cinco, cuatro o incluso tres componentes. Los cuartetos no lle-van 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 más an-tiguas y que han cambiado menos a lo largo de la historia. El romancero consta de una sola personadisfrazada que lleva un caballete con pósters que utiliza para narrar una historia por medio de imá-genes. El romancero recita cómicos versos mientras va señalando las imágenes y los dibujos con unpalo largo.

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

spués 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 thatthe term Carnival derives from the words "farewell to the flesh," a reference to the excesses thatled up to 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 believedto have had 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 allhave a devotion to having a good time. In these main destinations during Carnival it seems thatno one sleeps as the drinking and dancing go from dusk until dawn. You will see extravagantcostumes and people in masks everywhere, and in any of Spain's Carnivals, you'll have a lotmore fun participating in the masquerading than you will just watching!

Without a doubt, the Cadiz Carnival is among

the most beautiful of festivals in Spain. Colourful parades,

satirical performances,flamenco recitals, and

general merriment are just some

of the key elements ofthis 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 España

Existen 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 que elcarnaval proviene del festival cel-ebrado en diciembre en el Im-perio 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 una

alegría generalizada sonalgunos de los elementosclave de esta fiesta. Deja

la timidez en casa y sigue alas multitudes para

encontrar las mejoresfiestas.

Sin embargo, seguro que la Guardia Civil o la policía de Cádiz estará disponible para indicartequédirección tomar. • Conducir y aparcar en el centro de Cádiz puede ser un reto en circunstancias normales, por lo quedurante los carnavales es mejor buscar los horarios de trenes o de otros medios de transporte paraevitar quedarte atrapado detrás de las carrozas de la cabalgata de camino al parking.• Además es probable que algunas de las rutas principales de entrada a la ciudad estén cerradas altráfico, dificultando de esta forma el acceso en coche.Pero sobre todo, ¡te recomendamos que dejes la vergüenza a un lado y que te diviertas y disfrutes conlos gaditanos durante una época del año tan especial!Cádiz es una ciudad tranquila, pacífica y relajante, menos en carnaval, ¡ya que se desmelena porcompleto! ¡¡Todos los años por febrero, Cádiz se desata en una locura desenfadada de ino yflamenco!!

Useful Tips when Visiting the Carnival

• While exploring carnival it is advisable to remember that this festival at-tracts people from all over the world which inevitably includes some un-ruly 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 localsat this 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 Tu NuevoCachorro!

Ya se sabe que un perro es para toda la vida, nosólo para Navidad, por lo que si, comonosotros, has tenido la suerte de adquirir unnuevo cachorro durante estas fiestas, ¡aquí tepresentamos algunos útiles consejos para evi-tar las “sorpresas” que te puedan dejar por lacasa!• Al principio, mantén a tu cachorro dentro de unazona pequeña cerrada si no puedes estar pendi-ente de él/ella en todo momento, o cuando salgasde casa. Esta zona debe tener una superficie fácilde limpiar. • Asegúrate de que tienen una cama cómoda, uncacharro con agua limpia y muchos juguetes hue-cos para morder. Los mejores juguetes son losjuguetes huecos de materiales duros esterilizados.Con esto le enseñarás a que sacie sus ganas demorder con los juguetes 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 fija-mente. Puede que empiece a andar alrededor deun mismo punto. O es posible que se quede mi-rando a la puerta con una mirada intensa. Señalescomo éstas te indican que debes dejar lo que estáshaciendo y que necesitas sacar al perro.• Si coges a tu perro haciendo sus necesidadesdentro de casa (pero sólo si lo pillas, y nunca si de-scubres 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 am-able, "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

AN URGENT CALL FROMKIMBA IN A RAINY JANUARY

We are approaching a very serioussituation in our shelter. Theunusually high number of dogs arriving in our facility and the relentless rainfalls are stretching ourresources beyond our operationallimits. We had to shut down thePharmacy Room (since the roof isabout to collapse) and the Lazaretto, thebuilding where we used to keepanimals recovering from surgery orwith special medical needs. Weurgently need to find foster homes

to help us, at least on a temporarybasis, save the lives of numerousdogs and cats abandoned in Chiclana. We also need blankets,old curtains, anything to keep ouranimals dry and warm in their kennels.

‘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 righthand, start the movement by moving the ham-mer head and then allow your wrist to break atthe same time. On the way back down youwould start the ´down swing` with the hammerhead. So why in golf should we not motivateby moving the club head first with the righthand and not think of the futility of a one-piecetakeaway from the left shoulder, motivatingwith 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 be in if you were holdingthe grip with two hands. Place your left hand finger tips on your right arm and with-out moving your right arm move the club head away from the ball some six inches.When placing the right hand on the grip try inserting a wine cork in the positionwhere your left thumb would be. This allows you to hold the grip with the club inyour 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 is shortof 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 con sumano derecha intente insertar un corcho de vino en el sitio donde estaría su pulgarizquierdo. Esto le ayuda a coger el palo con sus dedos y no con la palma de lamano; y además le permite iniciar el movimiento de la cabeza del palo y no delbrazo derecho.Para volver con el palo hacia la bola debe sentir que el peso de la cabeza del paloes la que inicia el movimiento y verá que, en el impacto, su antebrazo derecho sequeda un poco corto de la posición inicial, pero la bola ha salido volando. Con estoha 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 labola motivado por la mano derecha. En otras palabras, suba el palo con su mano derecha y baje elpalo hacia la bola tambien con la mano derecha; y el follow through da igual como lo haga porque la

‘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 el back-swing. Luego, volviendo hacia el clavo tirando delpuño del martillo y enderezando la muñeca ha-ciendo que se mueva la cabeza del martillo; y todoesto con la mano izquierda cuando en realidad esusted diestro. ¡Nunca! Porque sería un movimiento completa-mente anti-natural.La manera en que usted lo haría sería cogiendo elmartillo con su mano ; empezar el movimiento

con la cabeza del martillo hacia atrás dejandoque su muñeca se doble al mismo tiempo. Alvolver hacia el clavo, movemos tambien lacabeza del martillo con la muñeca.

Entonces ¿por qué en el golf no movemosprimero la cabeza del palo con la mano derechay en lugar de un movimiento rígido motivado porel movimiento del hombro izquierdo y la manoizquierda? Siga estos tres consejos de práctica yno importará el nivel de juego que tenga, que legarantizo que su contacto con la bola mejoraránotablemente.

Baywatch Highlights What´s On In and Around Cadiz February/March 2010

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 sim-ple version of Cinderella, comically and excel-lently performed by some of the committeemembers. After the panto came the dancing,lead gracefully by Marie, who instructed us inthe Gay Gordons and The Valeta and finishingwith a high spirited Barn Dance.

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

A delightful and entertaining Christmas

lunch was had by all at thePico de Oro celebrationrooms in the centre of

Chiclana on Monday 7th December 2009

Then came the obligatory post dinner game,organised by Julia Wood, which involvedlocating various random objects from aroundthe room, including a pair of men’s under-pants (which proved somewhat challenginggiven the 90% of women in the room,needless to say, the waiter did a runner!).

However, not to be defeated, the womenfound the item with thanks to Don Gallagherwho was a very good sport on the day! It issafe to say a wonderful time was had by alland we thank the Women’s Breakfast Clubcommittee for organising such a great afternoon!

Happy New Year 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 ofthe myths 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 of nothing! ‘

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.Your level of custom is unlikely to increase if you use this business approach beacause it meansyou are leaving everything to chance and your cash flow can simply not run on luck alone. Witha bit of pro-active thinking you can do your best to turn this situation around. If an advert only gen-erates one extra customer each month you will still have more than covered the advertising costand improved the cashflow. It is important to continue to advertise to keep your business knownin the public domain as you will dramatically improve the chances of potential customers findingyou and subsequently coming back to you.

3. “I tried ONE advert and it did not produce any results” Again, at first glance, this appearsto be make sense but if you think about how and when customers buy your product/service youmay find that you have left your results to chance. Potential customers will buy when they needor want something and it could very well be that, during the period of your advertisement, theydid not need or want what you have to offer. Advertising will not always be a quick fix as it de-pends hugely on what you are offering e.g. a dentist will only be visited when required, a cardshop will only be visited when an occasion is coming up. Therefore you need to make sure yourpotential customers are aware of you in readiness for that time when they do want your productor service.

4. “I am so busy that i do not want/need any more customers right now ” It is hard to dis-agree with this logic but as mentioned previously advertising may not always produce immedi-ate results and in this scenario you should definitely be looking at business from a longer termviewpoint. A period of comparative quiet almost always occurs after a busy time (especially if yourbusiness is seasonal) and it is this quiet period that you should try to minimise. The reason thisis so important is to help protect your cashflow. Predicting your cashflow over the whole year be-comes much easier if the peaks and troughs of busy and quiet periods can be smoothed outtherefore keep your advertising going 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 arelikely to 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; sinembargo, ¡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 para atraerclientes, ya que saben que es probable que dichos clientes se lleven algo más de lo que en principiofueron 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 lo estádejando todo en manos del azar y el flujo de caja no se alimenta únicamente de suerte. Con un pen-samiento proactivo usted puede hacer todo lo posible para cambiar esta situación. Incluso si un anun-cio sólo le proporciona un cliente adicional al mes, tendrá dinero más que suficiente para cubrir loscostes publicitarios y mejorar el flujo de caja. Es importante seguir anunciándose para que la gente sigaconociendo su negocio ya que aumentará dramáticamente la posibilidad de que algún posible clienteencuentre 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 se anun-ció, 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 noestar de 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 negocio detemporada) y es aquí donde debe centrarse, en intentar minimizar estos periodos de calma. El motivode su importancia es ayudar a proteger su flujo de caja. Predecir su flujo de caja durante todo el añose convierte en una tarea mucho más sencilla si se pueden suavizar los picos y los puntos bajos delos periodos de ajetreo y de calma, manteniendo, por tanto, su publicidad en funcionamiento para ayu-dar 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 isa spectacular show and if you are into horses it is well worth a trip toVejer. There are also other events that make up the Sunshine Tour, the mostpopular of which are briefly explained here.

Show Jumping is one of the most spectated events and involves the horseand rider 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 synchronic-ity shown by the team throughout the course. Another popular event is Dres-sage, which is one of the main disciplines that forms horse riding. It is a wayof training a horse whilst maintaining harmony and balance in all activities.There is also an Endurance competition which tests both the physical andmental ability of the horse and rider team, since both must cross a great dis-tances in one day, through difficult 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, whichis a 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 jinetede saltar sobre una serie de obstáculos, en un orden dado. Esta disciplina esuna de las más populares de los deportes ecuestres y la más usada por lojinetes de hoy en día. Tambien es Doma Clasica, consiste en el entrenamientode un caballo por medio del cual el jinete consigue que éste realice todas susórdenes con 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 una combinación de tres disciplinas ecuestres, realizadas en tres días con-secutivos, que abarca doma, cross-country y salto. ¡Una competición emo-cionante!

Logic Tales Making Music Monday = Val, Violin. Tuesday = Tom,flute. Wednesday = Sally, piano.Thursday = Will, clarinet. Friday = Roy,guitar.Full Solution:The clarinet and flute players are bothmale (“his´lesson”). As Will plays laterin the week than Tom, Will must be theclarinet player, leaving Roy to play theday after him, leaving them both toplay on Thursday and Friday. Due tothis, Sally must play the piano onWednesday, as she cannot play anyother day. Val plays before either Tomor Will, so she must play on Monday,leaving Tom to play the flute on Tues-day. As Val does not play the guitar,she must play the only other instru-ment, the violin, leaving Roy to playthe guitar.
