Yes folks this Sunday 14th September at 10.00n a.m. at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, the 10th Annual Jesters Charity Care4Kids Fair will be on again. Bigger better and more fun than ever. Please look at the map of the Fair to see all the different stalls we have this year, over a hundred. Hat's off to Kevin Mitch, his right hand man Wild Bill, and their team of miracle workers for putting it all together. The Diana Driving Range them selves for allowing us to use the site, and the work they put in. Woody and the Committee for all their hard work, all the actual stall holders. It really is a day not to be missed least of all. Because of the wonderful Jameson's stalls we have one stall showing off our Grand Raffle prizes, one stall with the Auction items for the Party Night on Saturday 20th September at good old Jameson's, you will be able to make bids at the Fair with Debbie Lightley taking care of that, you can of course also make bids for your favorite items on the Charity Auction right now or just have a look by clicking on the link at the side of this page, also delightfully grouped in with us will be the British Legion tent run by my mate Bert of Tropical Bert's, Johny Live Thailand's most famous hairdresser will also be with us, and of course Judi McNamara and her hard working crew with the Used Book Stall. Now this is your last chance everybody, we need your old books to sell on our stall, have a look round your shelves and see if there are any books you have left on those shelves that you no longer need then please bring them into Jameson's where Judi can sort them out and then sell them on the day. It's a great way of making money for the kids, as you give us the books we sell them and then all the proceeds go to the kids. No expense total profit for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive. So come on have a look around and see if you can find any books for us and bring them into Jameson's.

A new innovation this year at the Fair will be Pop's Cool Zone a wonderful idea by The Von Bryant Family, and Pop's Pattaya All Stars, (both The Bryant's and Pop's Pattaya All Stars have been with us at all the Party Nights, Fairs , since the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive started with it's first Party Night in 1997. I have no idea what we would do without them) having a marquee just beside and behind the main stage. Pop, and all his All Stars, plus many friends will be on hand to show kids the basic rudiments of learning musical instruments, there will be ten Cool Zone fans (naturally), T-Shirts, Acoustic sets of music from a variety of talented musicians, and to the Landlord's relief the most wonderful news that in charge of the Jesters Beer Bar (remember that all the money from the sales of the beer goes directly to charity is all donated, so the more you drink the more money goes to the Care4Kids Charity Drive, what more of an excuse do you want?). Well I will tell you what more of an excuse you want, in charge of the beer tent in Pop's Cool Zone is Malcolm Clare that's right 'The Root of All Evil' will actually be on the side of the angels for a day and if anybody can force that extra beer into you ........ Need I say more. Anyway make sure you go to the Fair and make sure you pay Pop's Cool Zone a visit.
Horseshoe Point will as has become their habit be running all sorts of kiddies rides, water events etc all organized by Mr. Smiles Ko of Horseshoe Point. Any stall involving Stephan Ryser is always worth visiting. Bernie Tuppin of the Pattaya Sports Club will be running this years ever popular Children's Raffle on the day, have a look at the Care4Kids Auction site or the Care4Kids website either through the link at the side of this page or go direct to www.care4kids.info which has a list of all the fantastic prizes available at the Children's Fair Raffle.
For the teenagers, or those with teenage hearts at 3.00 p.m. on the main stage Thailand's current heartthrobs B.O.Y. (Blood of Youth) will be taking to the stage for a forty minute set and will then be around to sign autograph's etc. Well done to Captain Steve Ponter on this for getting together with Grammy to organize this. It's the first time we have had anybody that needs a private dressing room, definitely a step up for us.
Neil Smith and Poodle Pete our regular compeer's will be in action all day, and let’s be 'fair' they are an entertainment in themselves. The Pattaya Mail will be there as well both for the T.V. and the newspaper.
I have only mentioned a couple of things about the Fair this is only the tip of the Iceberg, for more details have a look at the map, or just click onto www.care4kids.info

Happiness at Jameson’s

This Saturday not only sees the last of the Tri-Nations games of the season, kick off at 5.00 p.m. (please look up our sports schedule for run down of the sports on T.V this week). But also on Saturday it is our wonderful Manageress Ae's Birthday, so starting at half time in the rugby there will be masses of the wonderful Jameson's bar snacks from Vinai's kitchen in Jameson's, and I have it on pretty good information that at some point during the evening Ae will be persuaded to ring the bell for all her well wishers.
Sunday as well as the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2008 Fair at Diana Driving Range and Resort, after that there is the next Formula One Grand Prix at 6.30 p.m. After all the action from last week's game who could possibly miss the action this week. Dr. Iain Corness of course will be in the thick of the action in his usual place on the starting grid in the Jameson's sport room. Due to the incredible roll up of Formula One enthusiast's, turning up a few minutes early to get a good view of the giant 100' screen in the sport room would seem advisable.
All other sports events will of course be shown on all the other plasma screens in Jameson's during the course of the weekend.

Nice to have a lot of the crew back in action in Pattaya including Paul Baker, Karen Pennock (more beautiful than ever) Paul Dobbs, the Master of Destruction Sam Peebles, plus our wonderful regulars Peter Mack, The Youth Policy Derek, Paul, and Steve, Cricket Geoff, Dennis and Lek, Terry Schofield of No Fixed Abode, nice to see Mark Stubbs, my dear fiend Ian Harrington, Simon and Debbie, Woody, Kevin Mitch, Linden, Fairy Ingrid, Johny Live, Stuart and Moo, Jason Payne, Kobi, Rony Fineman whizzing about who cannot stop talking about the upcoming Premiere of his new movie 'The Queen of Langkasuka' more of which you can read about on the events page of this website and of course this diary, Bryan, and our Captain of all things Football Brian Abbott, Geordie Darren. Great to hear about the Mott The Hoople Reunion from Colin Powell. Reading Football Club had a wonderful result last week, we didn't play!
On Friday 12th September Jameson's have the delights of the PSC Monthly Medal presentation, which we hope will turn into a regular thing. Happy Birthday greetings to James Keeley for Monday 15th September. Kim

Cheers George
