jdean Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've been a member for quite a while but don't post that much, nor do I send a lot of email. I live in Patong and don't want a car and surely not a motorbike. Simply I walk or take public transport. So that is why I voted for the Brewery. It is possible to take the bus from Patong, then Chalong and then Rawaii as long as you start your journey before the last bus leaves. Seems most members drive cars and motorbikes.

ToTheBeach Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Just bumping into this poll as to where to locate a next Thai Visa BBQ. By reading it it seems that a more casual option might be the way to go... What about a BBQ and drinks (non sponsored or sponsored via local businesses) event every 2 months. No need to sign up just come when you feel like it, with the likelyhood that the number of TV is higher and a few people will meet? I do not want to put the name of my business up as yet, rather ask another to have some thoughts about it. Gerd (Thaigerd) knows the venue very well and knows what we do..... Just in case I like to offer an alternative. BTW, location is in Patong, parking available and an outside setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members in the Pattaya sub forum did(or still doing?) a little meeting every Friday evening I think. Just a simple get-together for a few drinks&food, chatting and networking. Are we able to organize something for next week Saturday......??? Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToTheBeach Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Are we able to organize something for next week Saturday......???Gerd Now you know me....

ToTheBeach Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 OK Gerd, if you are in, I am too..... Let's aim for a saturday, either this week or next week. Informal meeting with a few beers (I might throw in some specials) and the BBQ going with some nice food. No need to sign up but appreciated if anyone let me know if they might come, have to work the numbers a little..... Location is on OTOP Shopping Paradise, entrance opposite Holiday Inn on Rat-U-Thit road. Open air bar with a relaxed atmosphere. Parking available. Kids, dogs etc are all welcome as we do that daily. Any reactions so that we can go ahead? no need to discuss in length, just lets try 1 or 2 times. location can always change, but at least there is a start!

Answer to your question from my side is YES, no problem. I might be cripple at the moment but still be able to get things done. I think I know you you are now . In case we can get 10 members to come I will sponsor the meat for the BBQ, you will sponsor the 1st drink and Thai food for our partners who will come with us!!! A deal???

sadman Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I get over on 25th, accompanied by lovely wife, 2 sons and son's friend, so I shall miss this. I would, however, be keen to meet up with members again as we did a couple of years ago. To that end, I'll post nearer the time and just say that we'll be in such and such a bar on such and such a day, and if anyone fancies a beer, see you there. If not, no probs. Have a great time and see you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubrockbank Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I dont mind letting other members know me, I havnt really had any heated discussions...yet ...allthough it would be interesting to see if any of of have already crossed paths, for me in particular with my job I wonder how many people have told me to get lost haha. would be a shame if we didnt have an annual bbq though.

mjochim Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm not familiar with Sports Club but I live closer to that than The Brewery, which I don't feel would be an ideal location for the BBQ anyway. Enjoyed last year's fete at Friendship Beach, despite the lack of mingling (was a bit shy myself). I did get to say "Hi" to Don, Buckwheat (RIP) and a few other BM's. I'll definitely attend -- probably with fiance (we're expecting a baby in early September so that might be a deciding factor on whether or not she attends). Anytime is fine with me... So: 2 people (if not the fiance, then a buddy) I live in Vichit, between Wat Chalong and Central Sports Club anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 It looks like the BBQ idea is going nowhere at present. Not having been to a TV event before I have no idea what it takes to organise but I am willing to offer my assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggybear, I'll go along with whatever decision the head Honchos make. I see no reason why it should not be as successful as the other events of past years. Can only put forward the idea of an informal meeting of those that are interested in getting this thing by the scruff of the neck, and there have been a few offering assistance. Say next Sunday, day or night, over a few coldies. If Aug 22 is the day, there is not excessive time left for successful planning. Watcha think ?

I think if that were to get to 30 we could make a go of it. This Sunday, maybe not good, the following better, then we can see if the numbers have changed and we'll decide on either an informal TV gig 22-8 or an official.

How about we just name it as Saturday 8 August from 6.30pm. (Free BBQ provided.) Location is at Patong OTOP. I will provide specifics if there is any interest.
