A fabulous night is in store at Jameson’s Irish Pub on Saturday 15th September for the final fund-raising event of the Jesters 10th Anniversary ‘Care for Kids’ Charity Drive year.
Corporate and individual sponsorship has exceeded all previous years, the Jesters Children’s Fair is sold out and promises to be the best yet, and the Jesters Sporting Party Night is set to round off the 2007 Charity Drive in style. A party night with something for everyone.
With all the entertainment and sport on the weekly calendar it is important to cater for everybody on Party Night, in the same way that the Jesters ‘Care for Kids’ Charity Drive seeks to cover all of the needs of the underprivileged kids that we raise funds for. The money raised on Saturday 15th September will close the Charity Drive account for 2007 and, with your attendance and support, will result in a record total and a record benefit year for the Kids.
The Party Night kicks off in earnest at 6.30 pm with 90 minutes of entertainment fronted by Mike Gerrard to warm everybody up, Dale will rekindle fond memories of Elvis and star Bangkok DJs Paul Jackson & Andy Francis are on station to segue the opening entertainment set. Around 7.30 pm Erik Sorensen and trainer Robert Jonasson will interrupt proceedings by their arrival back from Trat after yet another successful marathon cycle ride and sponsorship exceeding 500,000 baht.
Meanwhile for New Zealand sports fans, a screen in a discreet corner will follow the traditional Maori haka and World Cup power rugby against Portugal from Lyon. Less discreet, however, will be multi-screen coverage of the Wales vs. Australia match from Cardiff. No handbags on the field, and no crash helmets or overt body armor for these guys – this is a powerhouse physical contact sport at its best with two mega-fit prime contending nations hammering it out in the early stages of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
There is an opportunity to appreciate items of Welsh and Australian memorabilia up for auction later in the evening. On display throughout, bids will be accepted around 8.40 pm during the short half-time break. The top ‘lot’ being the 2005 Welsh Grand Slam jersey signed by that amazing team. And that will be the ideal moment to come on with the bar snacks - Welsh rarebit, Roo rolls and Outback pies. The spectacle continues until around 9.30 pm when the auctioneer’s gavel will work in earnest and silent bids received will be revealed. Lots also include memorabilia of Michael Schumacher, Sir Matt Busby, Arnold Palmer, and teams Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton. Plus antiques, diamond rings, children’s original drawings and other unique items.
The entertainment and music continues thereafter with sets from Rick & Harpic and Pop’s Pattaya All Stars with the Grand raffle scheduled just before 11 pm when the winners of the motor bikes, airline tickets and packages to Angkor Wat, River Kwai, Koh Samui and the Similan Islands will be drawn. Not forgetting vouchers to the top Pattaya restaurants including Bruno’s, Mata Hari, and the Manhattan Steakhouse
However, if Premier League football is your priority other discreet corners will cover Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Middlesbrough matches, to name just some.
This is a party night for everyone to enjoy and make it memorable wind down to a quite extraordinary Jesters 10th Anniversary year.

Sports action all over the next month, Premier League of course (mind you the only time I have seen Steve smile over the last six months is when he sunk a 60 foot putt for the Good Guys to beat the Bad Guys at a Pairs Scramble at golf. Peter Bevis make him smile will you?).
The Rugby World Cup starting on 8th September and the first ever 20/20 Cricket World Cup starting on 11th September. What more could anybody want?? Some come early to Jameson’s and pick your seat, sit back and enjoy.

Jimmy Howard has returned and is now fully trained up for the Rugby World Cup which starts on Saturday 8th September. Jimmy’s training consisted mainly of drinking Kilkenny as fast as he can, but it is still training. But when Jimmy holds court everybody listens as you can see from the rapt looks on Johny Live, Ian (Lady Di), John and Glynn’s faces, words of wisdom are not to be taken lightly from Jimmy

Thank you for making me famous. I shall try to live up
to the ideals of the previous diary master.
Especially, as I now have such an exalted position.
Not only this but Steve Graham sent me a complimentary
bottle of excellent Napa Valley red when I escorted
six friends to Mata Hari on Tuesday evening. Everyone
recognised my station in life when Luigi shouted
across the restaurant. "Is Boxer Sid in the House"
Now when I meet Stephen leather I shall not feel
inferior. rather a peer of his. I may even take on a
Little moonlighting with Steve's company. Perhaps
acting as minder to one or two of his more wealthier
clients
All The Jolly
