Diary No. 229 Week of 27th July 2009 - 2nd August 2009 Updated 6th August 2009
The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair gets closer and closer Now not wishing to harp on about it, but the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 is rushing up upon us a mere five weeks away. In this time of recession it is the very poor people who suffer the most, and so we have to try really hard to raise as much money as possible for the needy. The actual Fair itself will be held at the Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday, September 13th starting at 10.00 a.m. As happens every year the Fair will be bigger, and better in everyway than it was last year. Kevin Mitch with his trustee Side Kick Wild Bill are the men doing all the actual hard work. The Fair is a wonderful day out full of fun, music, games, or if like me you are that way inclined just a lovely place to go for a beer. Remember all the beers is donated by our wonderful sponsors, so every Baht you spend on beer goes directly to Charity. Jameson's will be running it's usual Used Book Stall, and please everybody if you live in the Pattaya area and have some books to spare that are lying around on your book shelves please bring them into us so we can get them sorted and ready for sale. Children's Books, Books in Swedish, German, French, all are gratefully accepted sold and all the proceeds go to Charity. DVD's and CD's are also willingly added into our sales. Drop off points are in Pattaya at Tropical Bert's, Tahitian Queen, The Pattaya Mail Office, and of course Jameson's. In Bangkok they can be dropped off at Jameson's Bangkok with Tim, or Jools in Sukhumvit Soi 4 with Peter and Matt. Your Used Books etc go to a long way to putting food into the mouths of the little ones. This year we also have 6 Computers for sale, which are on display in Jameson's so you can give them a try before purchasing, but they are all in great condition and ready to go, with all the latest uploads installed. At this year's Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair 2009 at the Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 13th September from 10.00 a.m. onwards, are not one not two, BUT Three Superstars on the Main Stage. These Artists have been kindly sponsored by Grammy TV. The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair just gets better and better.
There are plenty of ways of supporting the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive, you can come into Jameson's and pick up some stickers or brochures to hand round, you can buy tickets for our Grand Raffle with the First Prize of a Motorbike on display in Jameson's. There are also some very cool Wristbands and T-Shirts on sale to promote the event. Every little bit helps, and lots of little bits helping, makes light work. Of course after the Fair, we have the final event of the year the Party Night held at good old Jameson's on Saturday 19th September, starting at 6.30 p.m. where we have all the fun of Bob and Jeff auctioning off all the fun items that we have for Auction. All of which are now on display on our website organized by Ron Keeley, which you can log onto with one deft click on the flashing logo on the side of this page. The Auction site is pretty full now, and there are items on there for every taste, in particular am eyeing up the nice side table donated by Peter, and the Chickenfoot signed CD signed by the bad donated by Mawkowski. Have a look even if you do not feel like bidding on anything, it's fun just to have a look. Bids are now being taken on these items. Of course the Grand Raffle is also drawn that night. The greatest way of sponsoring the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 is to actually come to one of these events. The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Committee will be meeting on every Wednesday between now and then, so if you would like any extra information, or would like to book a stall that is the best way to do it. Just come along and meet everybody at Jameson's. Bob Davis is in there somewhere, but the Jameson's super sleuth is often hard to find Very Nice to have Ken Sly back in the Pub with wonderful tales of his life in Africa, also nice to have Ian of Harrington back from Bangkok with stories of his life in the Big City The two Bobs sit and watch the dramatic Australian collapse in the cricket on Friday The Youth Policy in full flight Geordie Blue Bar Derek, Young Steve Page (Pagey here, Pagey there, Pagey everywhere) and the man donating the Alan Shearer signed shirt to the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 Ray Campbell Nova Table with Captain of Football Brian Abbott Donna Abbott, David Dobbs, Kim, John Coe and Ken Sly More happy Aussie Al and Peter. Have you collected your hats you forgot yet Al? Game of Pool Alice holds up Mottmans T-shirt. No that can't be Mottman's, Newcastle now play in Custard yellow	The two Dobbs pass like two ships in the night, as Paul Dobbs leaves David Dobbs arrives. But the good news is that Paul Dobbs this time has only three weeks work before coming back again The Abbott Family takes on a whole fleet of B52's Of course Chief Bomb Master of most B52 Runs is Bob Davis here caught on spy camera in the act Terry Schofield of many Fixed Abodes joined us for several large ones on Friday Night. Terry always brings a bit of Razzle Dazzle to the table Donna and Brian Abbott tuck in Jesters Care4Kids Steve Ponter on the phone as usual with a very cool Care4Kids Wristband on sale at Jameson's for only 200 Baht all proceeds going to the Charity Drive as John Vinyard paid for the Wristbands Lek and Denis with Rob and Wit The Green Family. No No I don't mean they are Green I mean they are Mr. and Mrs. David Green and their two lovely daughters Tony and Scotty enjoy a drink at the Bar, happy in the fact that it's raining in Birmingham to save the Australian Cricket Team World of Wines does it again Bjorn enjoying World of Wines Jimmy Howard and Mickey (T-Shirt and Wristband) Price show off Mott the Dogs T-shirts for the upcoming Mott The Hoople Concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon
It was nice to see three generations of Maurice Brown's Family in the Bar this week with apparently lots more coming over. The man with many Bob nicknames has made himself indispensable to the area around Nova Table, and has been incredibly generous to the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive, Bob is not a man to be found without a Jesters T-Shirt or Wristband. Paul Strachan of course comes into his own when charity time comes round. There are also rumours of arrivals of both Partyboy Ray Matti, and The Root of All Evil Malcolm Clare, may soon be making visits' to Jameson's. Don't say I didn't warn you. Looking to the future plenty of things going on at Jameson's. Friday will be a new first for Jameson's as we will be doing an Oyster Buffet, a whole bunch of fresh Oysters laid out on the Carvery for your appetite. We will lay them all out fresh with some Onion fried bits, Bacon bits, Chilli Sauce, Tabasco and Lemon, but we will also be cooking them to order for anybodies specifications. So next Friday is Oyster Night at Jameson's. Keep an eye on our sports schedule from week to week. Can anybody tell me who Trott is? Enough from me. Have a good week Rony, Kim and Moo. Here is the longest piece I think Paul Strachan has done for PMTV. In a rambling plot we get a conversation around Nova Table and some fun with the Pattaya Players Theatre Company. Anyway here it is for your critic Pattaya Players Part 1 Pattaya Players Part 2 Pattaya Players Part 3
Cricket Geoff and Chicken Nick wait for the rain to stop so England can get on with it Portsmouth and Wales collide Gethen and Bupa Bob Rugby on Saturday night in front of the Big Screen in the Jameson's Sports room. Rugby this Saturday the 8th August at 10.00 p.m. South Africa vs. Australia. I know there is travel constraints and everything BUT surely South Africa must be at a slight disadvantage, as they have just finished playing a heavy series against the British and Irish Lions, then this is their third game in a row in the Tri-Nations I know Rugby is a tough game But................ Landlord Kim Fletcher decides to take Tuesday night off, and where does he end up till midnight at Nova Table that's where. With Bupa Bob, Captain of Football Brian Abbott, and David Dobbs. Pagey was around somewhere Steve is all smiles Derek Hunter kindly brings in a wonderful Hamper for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Auction, which will be held at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September 2009 on the Jesters Care4Kids Party Night David Dobbs immediately makes off with the Hamper Wednesday night sees the return of The Root of All Evil, Malcolm Clare. Here we see him doing his warm up laps. I'm sure that the real Root of All Evil will come out on Saturday night once the Rugby game between South Africa and Australia kicks off. The Root is seen here with his gang the lovely Ning, Captain Steve (Jesters Care4Kids) Ponter, and Kim	Bob getting way to close to the camera with J.J and Guitar Gethen in a Pattaya Tens T-shirts from the good old days. Ring any Bells Richard Waller? Captain Steve (Jesters Care4Kids) Ponter comes in on Sunday night bring with him one of my favourite running mates Bruce Williams The Carvery is for all a lovely picture in concentration Everybody Happy Bob trikes with more B52's Peter Chris and Family Here it is Donna the legendary adaptor O.K for this week's competition it's find the Bupa Bob amongst all this lot
The Nova Gold is really looking good, and Bookings are starting to come in
Kim Fletcher and Jameson's thoughts turn to the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive is coming up very quickly. Let me just remind you of the dates for the main events on Sunday 13th September 2009 is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, which this year looks like it is going to be even bigger and better this year than last (if that is possible). Kevin Mitch once again stepping into the breach, and doing all the organization in his usual brilliant military precision style. Now whilst talking about the Fair can I also remind everybody that Jameson's amongst other things, has a Used Book Stall at the Fair run by Judi McNamara. The Used Book Stall is always great fun and also raises a nice lot of money for the kids. It is simple logic. (A) You kindly donate to us all your old used books, which can be dropped off at Jameson's or TQ any time, the earlier the better so we can get them sorted. (B) You come to the Fair, and then buy a lot of good books at a cheap price, come early for the best selection. (C) We give all the money we raise to Kevin who hands it on to the Care4Kids Charity Drive. Easy. The next event after the Fair is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September 2009 which will feature Paul Jackson as our compeer, Music from Mike Gerrard, Rick and Harpic Bryant, and to bring us all to a Rockin' close Pop's Pattaya All Stars and assorted guests. On that night there will also be the arrival of Eric and Robert from their marathon Charity Bike Ride always an amazing feat of endurance, the climax to the Raffle and the fantastic Jesters Care4Kids Charity Auction. The Auction Site is up and running, with lots of good things up there already, all you have to do is click on the link on the left hand side of this page and you will be whisked into Ron Keeley of World of Wine Auction Site, there is plenty to look at and you might even fancy putting a bid in yourself. Plenty already have. There are plenty of ways of helping the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009, Obviously by coming to the Fair, and the Party Night, making bids on the Auction Site, buying Raffle Tickets, buying T-Shirts, taking a Bumper Sticker for your car, taking and reading one of our brochures and showing them to other people (all available at Jameson's or TQ). If you would like to know some more right now please click on the link on the right hand side of the page for the Jesters Care4Kids and you will go on a journey to see all about us the website. It is regularly updated and is run by our Chairman, Lewis (Woody) Underwood, and our Webmaster David Smith, a very good Charity, run by some wonderful people, to help those less fortunate than others.
