Diary No. 234 Week of 31st August 2009 - 6th September 2009 Updated 10th September 2009
This weekend The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Fair This weekend is the big one folks. Not only is it Brian Abbott's Birthday on Saturday, but Sunday sees The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort. That's Sunday the 13th September 2009 starting at 10.00 a.m. It really is the best day out in Pattaya all year. There are more stalls and star attractions this year then ever. As you can see from all the posters on this page there really are loads of things to do, watch, buy, drink, eat, etc all day long. Captain Steve Ponter will again miraculously turn into Rock Concert Promoter for the day and be leading around all the Grammy T.V acts (look at the picture on this page). So be prepared to witness some crowd hysteria down the front again this year (really must try and get someone to calm Moo down this year after the excitement of B.O.Y. last year. For us slightly more sedate folk there are plenty of beer tents to relax in whilst the family go out browsing etc. Of course Jameson's will be having it's own tent as usual. This year we are bringing a load of tables and chairs to sit on and put the beer on to create more of a festival atmosphere. There is of course also Pop's Cool Zone run by Pop himself with Rick and Harpic Bryant a good place to stop off and have a beer and a natter whilst listening to some sweet sweet music. The Jameson's Tent will consist of plenty of tables and chairs which will be staffed in cooperation with Fluid Asia and Heineken along with Moo and all the Jameson Staff (both present staff, and some familiar returning faces) along with The British Legion Tent, Ron Keeley's World of Wine Tent, I expect Darren from the Lazi Pig will be there, some Pattaya Panthers, Debbie Philbrook, running both the Raffle Stall and the Auction Stall (the on line Auction site is up and running and has had many new items added in the last week, plus of course many new bids all organized by Ron Keeley of World of Wines. Please click on the flashing sign on the left hand side of this page for a better look. It is certainly the most impressive Auction site we have ever had). Of course the Jameson's Tent is also centred around Judi McNamara's Book Stall. We now have a Fair selection of books for your perusal, my heartfelt Thanks go out to everybody who has helped us with the books, especially Simon Quigley and Mark Gorda. But if anybody has anymore books they would be gratefully received, any time even on the day. We also have many Special Guests at the Fair Dr. Iain Corness will be there. After the Launch of his Book Farang 'The Sequel' at Jameson's last Thursday, Iain will also be selling and signing copies of his book at the Jameson's Stall, there is also promised a magical appearance by The One and Only Geoff Evans, Brian Abbott will be there ............... Well maybe if he survives his Birthday! As for BupaBob, only time will tell! Fourwinds will be there in force in the shape of Paul Wilkinson, Thank you Paul. The Mighty Sam Peebles will be around of course, along with the Jameson's Youth Policy, and sundry assorted guests, so make a point of dropping by and saying hello to us in the Jameson's Tent. The Fair is a wonderful event. If you are in Pattaya, please do not miss it. It's been another amazing week at Jameson's, with the regular Wednesday Buzz game claiming more victims again, Bjorn's Birthday, a wonderful game of Rugby on Saturday, an amazing Sam Peebles led Friday night. All good stuff. Who Posters donated by Leo Blues Bar signed by Roger Daltrey and Peter Townshend, bidding for these items is now taking place on the Auction site and will reach it's conclusion on the Jesters Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September The new Jameson's Fish and Chips Tank The Madness of the Mighty Sam Peebles on Friday night Sam Well supported by Birmingham Jimmy, Dobsy, Young Steve Page, Football Captain Brian Abbott, BupaBob and Cricket Tony, Just Frank and Nobody Frank, Paul Slack, RayC, and all the Merry men The Jameson's Staff get ready to party welcoming back A, and saying a sad farewell to Roger Panthers Gather as The Rugby kicks off Anybody for Tetley's?

Just a quick Thank you to all the people who have made the whole Jesters Fair and Charity Drive happen, that goes right from Captain Steve (Care4Kids) Ponter to anybody who has just taken the time to read our posters etc. Without everybody it wouldn't be possible. Captain Steve and I were on the radio on Friday with Johnny Diamond what a nice bloke he is too. Carefully walking us two duffers through it all a very enjoyable for Steve and myself, pretty ordinary for those of you listening I would of thought. Now if we can all get through our spots with Paul Strachan the world can return to normal. The Jesters Care4Kids Stall Holders Meeting was held on Monday night which always reminds everybody just how close the Fair actually is. It's this Sunday 13th September at The Diana Driving Range and Resort starting at 10.00 o'clock! Be sure to visit the Jameson's Judi McNamara Beer Garden whilst you are there. The Landlord is also looking forward to the end of September as he is off to England to go and see his Mum in England. Nothing beats your Mum's cooking. Not forgetting that my Mum's Pub The Market House was a regular feature in the Egon Ronay Good Food Guide. Real Pork Pies. The much anticipated Mott The Hoople shows have now got completely out of hand. Firstly it was a surprise they reformed anyway. Then there was two gigs at the Hammersmith Odeon, then there was Three, then Five, now there's SEVEN, plus in-between gigs by Morgan Fisher, Mick Bolton, and Blue Weaver, and on the Sunday Tracie Hunter is up. Of course Mottman is going to them all, but the Landlord will have to be satisfied with Three Shows. Just hoping for a guest appearance from the Lovable Ariel Bender. Watch out London Mott he Dog is comin'.
The pressure mounts on Saturday as do the drinks Judi Kim in his coat for England, and somebody else trying to get in the photo Judi and Jerry Ken's back Jameson's Stalwarts Dennis and Lek Porn and Jennie BupaBob drinking Tetley's After a long shift Lola still has the energy to dance Ingrid our Jesters Care4Kids Tooth Fairy is good at pointing things out. Ingrid also dropped off several boxes of books. Good Tooth Fairy. With Ingrid and Mark Gorda showing great generosity The Book Stall is now ready to rock. Although that does not mean we do not still need books. We do. We do. The more the merrier and the more money for the kids Na takes a very very close look The art of a god fair is planning BupaBob (still present and correct on Monday night) Kim, Debbie and Woody Woody and Wild Bill Lola lays it on the Line "Reserved" Dai Coe Now come on be fair that's impressive Pretty Jesters girls all in a row. Debbie, Tooth Fairy Ingrid, Na, Judi and Lola Jimmy squeezes into Big Dave's chair The lovely Debbie	Mickey Damo Judi and Roger Blowfly takes command of Nova Table BupaBob, Brian Abbott, get ready with Alice for this weekend's celebrations Big Roger with a Big Drink It is this Man's Birthday next Saturday 12th September. Brian Abbott Captain of the Jameson's Football Club, ardent Boro Supporter, and all round Good Bloke came and say hello on Saturday night A happy BupaBob The Jesters Care4Kids Stall Holders Meeting was held in Jameson's on Monday night where the hard working Kevin Mitch and Wild Bill were on hand to answer all the questions, this year it was great fun. Oh we are all old hands at this lark. The signs are up and Kevin and Wild Bill get ready Lynden finds it all fun Woody in his new this year Jesters Care4Kids T-Shirt. Funny that Woody's does not have a big bump on the front of his T-Shirt like mine and Geoff Evans does! Keith of the British Legion finds out to his horror that the British Legion Tent is right in the middle of the Jameson's Tent See there really was a map Two old friends have a quick chat Kevin and Kim Jate of Horseshoe Point joins Nova Table Rack of Ribs at Jameson's Peter Malhotra of the Pattaya Mail, and Kim Fletcher Kim and Jimmy (Spaghetti Head) of the Pattaya Hash House Harriers
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.
