ICE Magazine
Editor: It is somewhat disappointing that recently planned club events have had to be cancelled due to lack of interest from members, some of these events having actually been requested by members. Also the committee agreed to cancelling some bar opening due to lack of volunteer bar staff. In 2016 the bar will be closed each Tuesday during July and Tuesday and Sunday during the month of August. A Thursday lunch, that many of our members rely on, had to be cancelled, again due to lack of volun-teers. It is unfortunate that if further members do not come forward to volunteer this may result in more events being subject to possible cancellation. The club is run by volunteers and at present it appears to be mostly just by the few. Terry Smith

PRESIDENT’S LETTER Wow, what a hot July and August we have had here in Spain, apologies
to all who went to UK where it was mostly cold.
After a quiet last 2 months the Club now looks forward to a full pro-
gramme of events, including in September a Lake trip and the Wel-
come Back Party that includes hog roast, or choice of fish or vegetable
paella followed by entertainment of 60’s music from Johnny Gee, 60’s
fancy dress optional.
In October we have too many events to mention here so please remember to consult with
your magazine.
Hopefully we will have no more trouble from our neighbours parking across our entrance
steps, please let me know if anyone experiences any other problems with them. Looking forward to seeing more members back after the summer break. Sue Potter

Do You Like To Make Puddings and Sweets??? To help the catering volunteers they are looking for volunteers to
produce a pudding or sweet to serve 10/12 persons. These can be
made at home for delivery to the club on a Thursday morning.
Your expenses will be remunerated. For further details please contact Volunteer Catering Manager
Brenda Taylor. Also further volunteer catering staff required to
assist with preparing Thursday lunches, no clearing up involved.
Just a short note related to car parking for Gibraltar flights. If you plan to fly from Gibraltar airport, there is a very useful long term car park on
the La Linea side of the border at the Alcaidesa Marina car park. It costs €6 per day
and is open 24hrs. The entry is just down the old border "waiting loop" It is a very
short walk to the border and then to the Airport. You have to pre-book at par-click.com
There is, of course, the new car park adjacent to the border but I have been unable to
find any pricing information for this to date. Submitted by Ron Sykes

Matters September 2015
As we start again after the Summer break, it seems appropriate to reconsider the title of the
monthly page “Computer Topics.” We have gradually seen a move from pure PC applica-
tions to Tablets and Smart Phones. The content of the monthly contribution has changed to
meet this demand. Therefore it seems appropriate to rename the page “Technology Matters”
in order to reflect the wider range of content and our increased reliance on technology. We
will not desert the PC, especially with the introduction of Windows 10, but our content will
cover the wider range of technical devices now being used or in the pipeline. Monitor Your Exercise. Your smart phone also has a built-in GPS. With a suitable app you
can monitor how far you walk each day. For Android machines, Google Fit can be
downloaded from the Play Store. Apple iPhone 5s and above include a free fitness app called
Health. If you possess an older iPhone, then the app you need is Pacer. (Search on Google
for Pacer and look for an entry which directs you to iTunes) Both these apps will record the
distance you walk and offer other facilities such as monitoring height and weight.
Windows 10 At the time of writing none of us have experienced Windows 10. Current users
of Windows 7 and 8 can get a free upgrade until 29th July 2016. Therefore there is no urgency
to upgrade. Our advice is to wait until further reviews are available. In the meantime you can
reserve your upgrade by clicking on the Windows symbol on the right of the task bar. You
will then receive an email when it is ready for download. Unfortunately if you do not have
Win 7 or 8 then you will have to pay – the price has not yet been finalized.
Stay Safe when Shopping on-line. We are shopping on-line in increasing number, Therefore
it seems timely to remind people of some safety advice.
Avoid using unsecured Wi-Fi i.e. Wi-Fi access that does not require a password.
Don’t save passwords to a site.
Some shops produce free apps for browsing and buying on-line. If you use such apps
make sure that your phone/tablet is password protected or, better still, if it has finger
print recognition, make sure that this is activated.
If you have a UK, credit card use this for payment of goods in excess of £100. The
credit card company is jointly liable if anything goes wrong. Make sure that the site on which you are buying is encrypted. If the address begins
https, it is OK. http is not secure.

Grey Nomading in Australia Continued, Diary of Louise and Graham’s Travels. Many of the club members will have met Margaret and Vic’s daughter Louise and her husband Graham when they visited from Australia for the occasion of Margaret and Vic’s Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebrations. Lou and Graham are now taking a 2 year working tour, known as Grey Nomading in Aus-tralia, by caravan. "Grey Nomads:" many Aussie's travel around Australia when they retire. Having left our SHED SIT!!! (see magazine June edition) we headed towards Taree for our next assign-ment. Found a lovely free stop at the Bretti Reserve, right next to the river. It was absolutely jam packed ----- with cows!! One night the caravan started rocking violently – no it was not us! Neither was it Graham’s snoring, it was a massive cow scratching her head on the spare wheel! Moved in to a stunning little caravan park in Croki for a few days of fishing and relaxing. Didn’t have far to go as we overlooked the Manning River for fishing. Had daily visits from this little guy called Buddy, we would have very much liked to have taken him with us!! Next assignment is Kolodong, close to Taree and a lovely (but freezing) big farm house also on the banks of the Manning River. One dog, two cats and rooster called George! We can also add to that god knows how many mice that have come in for winter to nest!!! Since we are not leaving here until August I am doing one day a week in the local Lifeline Op Shop as a volunteer which I am enjoying, however I am not sure how I am going to get all my purchases in the caravan when we leave!! Graham is happy as there is plenty of fishing and gardening to keep him occupied. Headed to Port Macquarie one Sunday for fish and chips on the foreshore, which was spectacular. Had a wander around until we saw this............................................ Now, those of you that know me well will recall that it takes 3 valium washed down by a bottle of vodka to get me on to an aeroplane, they are a necessary evil to visit places and peo-ple. I DO NOT do it for fun, however Graham was keen to have a go and I have made him do some challenging things along this journey so my turn to face my fears. The pilot was awesome and found loads of whales playing, a pod of dolphins and some spectacular scenery. She gave us a great commentary and smooth flight. I have now done a sea plane flight and can check that off my bucket list – not sure I will repeat the experience without the Valium and Vodka!!!
Till next time, Lou and Graham

Interesting piece of information: Healthcare. Submitted by Doug Proctor
I’m applying for Spanish Healthcare in my own right, having reached the magic age, and
along with the S1 forms came a letter from the UK Overseas Healthcare Team, an excerpt of
which is shown below:
Entitlement to medical cover in the UK The NHS is a residence-based system and moving abroad can mean losing your entitlement
to receive healthcare free of charge on the NHS.
However, as you will have your healthcare paid for by the UK by means of an S1 in your
country of residence, from 6th April 2015 your right to return to England for all treatment
including elective, has been extended. This means you can access NHS treatment in England
as if ordinary resident (this means treatment will be free unless a statutory charge also ap-
plies to resident in England, for example prescription charges). You will not need to obtain
any kind of authorisation from your country of residence prior to seeking treatment.
These changes will be made in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as soon as practicable
after 6th April. You are advised to check your entitlement before seeking treatment in those
territories.
In all cases, however, you must notify your GP of the date you went to live in Spain so that you and members of your family are removed from NHS registration and your medical re-
cords can be archived.
I telephoned the Healthcare Team, and was told that, yes, from 6 April I was entitled to all
treatment (not just emergency) on the NHS in England, even though I am resident in Spain.
You do not have to show the EHIC card, just contact the Doctor or NHS Hospital where you
want the treatment performed (she quoted a hip replacement as an example) and if asked for
an address, give your Spanish one (NOT a relative in UK). You may be asked to show proof
of receipt of the UK State Pension, such as a letter from the Dept for Works and Pension.
This only applies to Expat pensioners who are part of the Spanish Health system.
Overseas Healthcare Team contact on: +44 191 218 1999 between 8am – 5pm UK time.
DRIVING LICENCES IN SPAIN
Confusion about driving licences in Spain persists among European Union citizens residing
in Spain.
What should you do? You can exchange your licence for a Spanish driving licence.
A citizen of the European Union may continue to use their home country driving licence even after becoming an official resident of Spain. However certain conditions apply to this privi-
lege.
For holders of a UK driving licence, and have obtained a Certificate of Residence, the holder
may either exchange for a Spanish licence or continue using their UK licence in which case it
must be registered with the Spanish list of Drivers and Traffic Violators. If the latter is your
decision it is necessary to go to an authorised medical testing centre and pass the test required
of all Spanish drivers. This includes vision, hearing and eye-hand coordination. For ages 18
to 45, you must pass this test every 10 years. Ages 45 to 70 years every 5 years, Those over
70 every 2 years. The medical certificate must be carried together with your valid UK driving
licence. This is compulsory and may be requested at a roadside check.
For driving licence holders of others European Union countries there are some differences to
the above instructions. Be aware if you keep your UK licence and cannot prove a UK address as your residence you
may be refused car hire in the UK.

Electricity charged by the hour from July 1st. Submitted by Nigel Nevshehir
ELECTRICITY for homes and small businesses will be charged by the hour from July 1st,
meaning peak and off-peak rates will apply to everyone and not just those who have applied
for the so-called 'white tariff' where costs differ throughout the day and night.
All premises which have a digital, remotely managed meter will automatically be switched to the hourly charge system, and the cost of each day's consumption will appear online from
20.15hrs for customers to check.
Where a digital meter has not yet been fitted, the electricity board, Iberdrola, has until Octo-
ber 1 to do so. The hourly tariff will apply those with a power supply of less than 10kW.
It will allow customers to calculate more easily which appliances use up more energy and to
what extent, because they will be able to compare online what they use each day and relate it
to the white goods, lights, boilers, or other gadgets they have had in use.
This has come about after Spain's 'business police', the National Commission of Markets and
Competition complained that the new meters, being rolled out across the country, did not
allow customers to tell in real time how much electricity they were using unless they literally
sat in front of them all day.
The price per kilowatt (kW) of power used per hour only affects 37% of the consumer's bill, whilst 25% relates to taxes including IVA, and the remaining 38% are standing charges.
New hourly tariffs can only be administered by commercial suppliers Iberdrola, Endesa, Gas
Natural Fenosa, EDP España and E.O.N. España, but other utility companies are allowed to
get on board provided they do so before the end of this year.
The system will replace the quarterly 'energy auctions' which would affect rates for three
months at a time and which have led to Spain's electricity being among the four most expen-
sive in Europe. Axing the quarterly auctions is hoped to bring it down to much more afford-
able levels.
Already, Iberdrola offers a fixed monthly payment scheme whereby the average cost over the
previous year is calculated, so that each month the consumer pays the same and does not suf-
fer unpleasant surprises when the bill arrives. At the end of the year, the total deficit or sur-plus is worked out and either added onto or deducted from monthly payments over the fol-
lowing year as a flat rate.

PAST EVENTS
Friday 26th June - Trip to Benalmádena Butterfly Park and Mijas
We all arrived at our allotted coach pickup points on a lovely sunny morning which put us all in a good mood from the start. We arrived at the Butterfly Park, otherwise known as Mariposario de Benalmádena, in plenty of time to have coffee and a snack be-fore our guide lead us into the farm area. What a pleasant surprise, upon entering the Butter-fly park you are automatically transported to the hot and humid jungles of South-East Asia, with wall-to-wall tropical vegetation, amazing plants and flowers, waterfalls and exotic ani-mals. The highlight of which is, of course, the humble butterfly, with over 1500 exotic butterflies from 150 different species, all those butterflies just flying free or landed on the vegetation. The guide ex-plained the life of the butterfly and moths, and the workings of the farm, 70% of the specimens in the park are self-produced and the remaining 30% are imported from their country of origin. There's a spe-cial nursery, where visitors watch the different biological cycles and transformations the butterflies go through. Almost every day, a new specimen is born; visitors watch as the butterflies break out of their cocoons and spread their colourful wings for the first time. Most species of butterflies have an average life expectancy of two weeks. This means that the park's population is renewed every 14 days! The 2000m2 complex has its climate carefully controlled with the temperature set between 24-29ºC and around 80% humidity. We then had time wandering around and taking many photos. We saw a very shy wallaby mooching around under the vegetation, two iguanas at the top of the waterfall, and many koi carp in the pond. The butterfly park is situated just next to the Enlightenment Buddhist Stupa, this also being visited on this occasion by many of our trippers. In keeping with an 'Eastern' theme, the design of the butterfly park is Asian and built to resemble a Thai temple. Indeed, most of the building materials have been im-ported directly from Thailand, with the characteristic blue tiles made specifically for them in Chang Mai. It really is a venue not to be missed when you have children and visitors to entertain. So then it was back on the bus for it wind our way up the hill to Mijas Pueblo, all being ready for lunch with a view and a bit of therapeutic shopping. One of the jewels of the Costa del Sol is this beautiful little village which nestles comfortably in the mountainside 428 meters above sea level. When you wan-der through the narrow cobbled streets of this Andalusian village, you can understand what has at-tracted foreigners to settle here over the years. Many artists and writers have made it their home, enjoy-ing the benefits of an excellent all year round climate, without being part of the busier, more commercial coastal towns just down the mountain side. Despite its huge popularity with tourists, Mijas Pueblo has somehow managed to retain much of its traditional Andalusian way of life, the locals displaying their unabashed passion for all things festive and an unmistakable relaxed 'mañana' outlook on anything that can be put off for another day. Mijas Pueblo is great for Souvenir shopping, the craft shops have some wonderful hand made pottery and often affordable paintings and prints. Thanks Diane for arranging such a lovely trip and with the help of Dave who took some wonderful photos that can now be seen on the club website by visiting www.siberme.com

Should you have suggestions for any event or activity at your clubhouse, or for a trip whether for a day or longer period, please contact a member of the
committee. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Tuesday July 14th - Garden Club Meeting The fourth 2015 Garden Club meeting was held 11.30 in the Natura Garden Centre in Manilva. A good show of members enjoyed this very pleasant Garden Centre. As well as everything one requires for gardens - an amazing display of trees, shrubs, plants, cacti and indoor plants - there are rabbits, pup-pies, birds, fish plus all you might need for them. It also offers lots of pretty items for inside the house – pots, lamps, vases, ornaments etc. Outside is a pond with beautiful lilies, trees, creepers, statues, even a children’s play area. Upstairs has a vast display of garden tools, accessories, fencing, cages, cat and dog beds and lots more. We all had an enjoyable walk around and several plants were purchased. As I live nearby, and as there is no cafe, I offered drinks and nibbles at my house...............we had some interesting discussions about gardening problems, useful information obtained. The Rose Of Jericho was passed around to see how it changes from looking completely dried up and dead to coming alive by sitting in some water. So far this year we have met and had very enjoyable monthly get togethers at the Agrojardin, the ICE clubhouse, the Orchid domes and today the Natura Garden Centre. The next Garden Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 8th at 11.30 in Garden Club members’ garden. Sandy will give de-tails and maps. Lastly, the ICE club is still wanting volunteers to weed their front flowerbed. If you have a few hours spare and fancy some gardening, please have a go at the outside flowerbed. A kneeling cushion, hand trowel and fork, broom plus bag for the weeds are all that is required, plus a hat and water for yourself of course. Tip for the month: If you prefer not to use garden gloves, your nails can be kept clean during garden-ing by scraping your fingers along a bar of soap before starting work. The soap stays under the nails and prevents dirt getting in. Afterwards, simply wash using a nailbrush to remove.

Thursday 23rd July - Club Lunch Out So club kitchen closed for the summer, where to go? Why not back to Restaurante La Torre a great favourite with many club members, on this occasion 35 attending. One again Pepe and his ladies did us proud with their 3 course menu del dia at just 8.50€ including a drink. A very hot day would not have liked being in the kitchen.
Thursday 13th August - Club Lunch Out Once again more than 30 members and two guest children at-tended the club lunch out at the popular Benamara Golden Wok Chinese Buffet restaurant. We were once again not disappointed with the vast range of fresh food presented. On this occasion as the weather was so hot we sat inside, normally we like the out-side terrace overlooking the swimming pool. Once again thanks go to Maggie for organising these events.

Are You Affected By Changes To UK Bank Compensation Scheme?
By Terry Wayne, Partner, Blevins Franks
952 799 752
Do you keep large deposits in bank accounts? If so, you need to understand to what extent you will be protected in event of bank failure.
For peace of mind you should establish what investor protection you have with your banks,
and how it works. The same applies for capital you have in other financial institutions like
investment firms, insurance companies etc in the event. If you have concerns about the level
of protection, consider whether there are other institutions or structures which offer a higher
level of protection, or what steps you can take to feel safer.
Within the EU, banks deposits up to €100,000 are protected. If a bank fails, any deposits you
have up to this limit are refunded.
In the UK, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme is based on the EU compensation
scheme and is available to savers if a UK regulated bank or financial institution fails.
At present, the limit per institution (i.e. across all accounts held with the same institution) is
£85,000. This was based on the exchange rate at the time the €100,000 guarantee was intro-duced.
Two changes to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme have now been announced.
In July 2015, a new rule was introduced to protect savings of up to £1 million for a period of
up to six months to cover ‘life events’, such as selling your home, inheritances, compensation
payments etc; situations that could lead to you having a temporarily high balance.
From 1st January 2016, the standard protection amount is reducing to £75,000, because the
exchange rate has changed. The UK regulators have to review the amount every five years to
ensure the protection is similar to the rest of the EU.
Note that an institution is not the same as a bank. So Halifax and Bank of Scotland are one
institution, for example.
If you have more than £75,000 with a single institution, the excess over £75,000 is not pro-tected. You may wish to consider reducing balances so that these are spread to provide more
protection.
Those who have less than €100,000 with the same institution regulated elsewhere within the
Eurozone are not affected, as the Euro amount has not changed. However if you have bank
deposits over €100,000 you should consider ways to protect your savings from the risk of
institutional failure.
Since the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey are not in the EU, banks which are regulated
there are not covered by the EU scheme or the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
These jurisdictions have their own compensation schemes, with a limit of £50,000.
Besides spreading your deposits, you can move capital into alternate in-
vestment arrangements that provide a higher level of protection. For
example Luxembourg offers a state controlled investor protection regime which provides maximum security to investors without limit.
Also ensure you have adequate diversification across different investment
assets, because this decreases risk as well as increasing the potential for
improved returns.
Talk to a wealth management adviser like Blevins Franks to see if there
are steps you can take to increase your investor protection, in line with
your particular circumstances. www.blevinsfranks.com

SUDOKU SOLUTION QUIZ ANSWERS
The biggest lie I tell myself is ..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes and come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller! Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet! I don't trip over things, I do random gravity checks! I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pissing me off! Old age is coming at a really bad time! Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the friends to post my bail when I finally snap! I don't have grey hair. I have "wisdom highlights".......... I'm just very wise. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees. The kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please. I text back "no".....which is shorter than "yes". I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week. When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"??? Even duct tape can't fix stupid ......... but it can muffle the sound! Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't under-stand anyway? Of course I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice! Oops! Did I roll my eyes out loud? At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.
Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and family values. Bill said, "I didn't sleep with my wife before we got married, did you?" Larry replied, "I'm not sure, what was her maiden name?" A little boy went up to his father and asked: "Dad, where did my intelligence come from?" The father replied. "Well, son, you must have got it from your mother, cause I still have mine." "Mr. Clark, I have reviewed this case very carefully," the Divorce Court Judge said, "And I've decided to give your wife £775 a week," "That's very fair, your honour," the husband said. "And every now and then I'll try to send her a few pounds myself."
