Well it has galloped up on us again the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2008, is upon us once again. The first and main event is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2008 Fair at the Diana Driving Range, and Resort on Sunday 14th September, starting at 10.00 a.m. All the fun of the Fair, and this being our 11th year this year, Fair will definitely be bigger, better, than ever. Lots of Jameson's customers and friends have stalls them selves including Stuart Young who has a double unit, Stephan Ryser will be larking about as usual, (I wonder whether it will be the white or blue suit this year?), Ron Keeley of World of Wines will have a slurping stall, Bert from Tropical Bert's will be running the British Legion stall. Bernie Tupin will be running the children's ever popular Raffle this year, no doubt with the students rushing round selling the tickets, and helping to separate the stubs. Debbie from MBMG the biggest company in the world! (well our little world). Will be running the Auction display stall. For all the latest information on the Auction site please look up our Auction site which is linked to this site lots of new items have been put up over the last week, and any items that you fancy yourself you can get a bid in on. There has been an awful lot of action on this site over the last couple of days, so even having a look is fun, you can of course also see all the items on the videos on this diary, or view them at the Fair, or most of them are now on display in the glass cabinets in Jameson's. There really is a lot of interesting items up for auction this year, and items to fit every pocket even the Landlord has had the odd bid. Then of course there is now the very famous Used Book Stall once again being run by the wonderful Judi McNamara. The Book Stall is a wonderful way of collecting money for charity. If you have any used books at home that you no longer want please bring them into Jameson's as soon as possible, then Judi can sort them out then at the Fair you can pay us a visit, and buy any books that catch your eye, and then we give all the proceeds to Big Brother Kevin who is yet again organizing this years Fair, and then Kevin hands it on to the kids Care4Kids Charity Drive everybody wins. But the more books we have the more money we can make, even a couple makes all the difference. Roger Mart was in the pub last weekend ladened down with bags of books for us to sell thanks Roger. All books are welcome, children's books, German books etc, but get to the Book Stall early to pick up all the best books (and to stop Bob (Scar) Taylor from buying back all the books that he donated!). Whilst on the subject of my Texan friend Bob another reason to look at the website is too see the wonderful Rice picture of a Lion that Bob donated to the Auction, a very original and unique item.

For the first time ever at the Jesters Care4Kids Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 14th September Rick Bryant is organizing a wonderful new innovation a large marquee with music, cool zones, a Jesters bar (always a great Jesters Care4Kids tradition all the beer is donated by various generous people and bars and then the Jesters make it ICE COLD, and we buy it and all the money goes to the kids so the more you drink....... Oh you get the message) and most importantly Pop, Pattaya's legendary guitarist and one of the world's really nice guys accompanied by his All Star Band, and friends playing some nice relaxed acoustic music, whilst we sit back and relax and drink the aforementioned beer. There will also be an opportunity for kids to have a go on the instruments themselves (this might not be so relaxing). Rick, Harpic, and Pop have all sorts of surprises arranged for the day, so this sounds like the place to hang around with your friends.
Of course there are plenty of other stalls as well, so there is plenty of things to do.

Not much sport on the telly this weekend. Although on Sunday 7th September at 6.30 p.m. there is the Formula One Grand Prix, where Dr. Iain Corness will take up his regular perch in the sports room with the giant Jameson's screen and the English soundtrack. The one good thing about not much major sport this weekend will be the opportunity for all of the British in the pub to sit back relax, have a beer, slap each other on the back and congratulate ourselves on now having the best One Day Cricket side in the world, and who knows by this time next year we maybe able to drop the One Day bit and just say we have the best Cricket side in the world, and yes Ian Dickson I bet you nearly explode when you read this. For any other information on the sports schedule on the Jameson's T.V please look up our sports events schedule link on the side of this page.

Rony Fineman is back from more of his travels, and is around and about in the pub. Another date for the diary is Dr. Iain's Car Club's Natter, Noggin, and Nosh Evening held in Jameson's every second Monday of the month. So anybody who wants to chat about all things car wise the only place to be on Monday night is Jameson's with Dr. Iain.
Having met up with Perry McNeely the new Chairman of Golf for the Pattaya Sports Club, we are going to have a bash at Jameson's on Friday 12th September. Jameson's will be co-sponsoring the event with my old Dream Team pal Jack Levy of MLG, so that should be another great night in Jameson's anyone fancying a game of golf on Friday 12th September should contact Perry directly at the Pattaya Sports Club or me at Jameson's.
Always good to hear from Dai Coe, Big Dave and Dave Foden. Last Saturday was one of the best days this year in Jameson's with a marvelous crowd roaring on during and after the Rugby.
Well that's enough from me this week, as Moo needs to get the diary done. Cheers see you at the bar, Kim.
