December 4, 200619 yr Last year we had the mighty Drunkathalon Many of you will remember the event from last year was to support the Camillian Center in Rayong a small oasis of calm to look after children living with HIV http://www.camillian-rayong.org/ . Last year the event was held in memory of a dear friend of mine. ( http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44144 ) Many of you will also remember Noel Thomas of this Board who sadly passed away last month. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=93381. Noel in fact was a tireless campaigner and supporter of the Center anonymously with no fuss or fanfare. Enjoying all that Pattaya has to offer he strove to help the children there. This year the Drunkathalon is renamed The Jaidee Classic. And more particularly this year the Noel Thomas Jaidee Classic. The event. Teams of four, individuals can still enter and they can be assigned to a team on the day. This is to make the whole day more fun, with a bit of team spirit and no doubt a lot of heckling once the beer starts taking its desired effect. The order of proceedings this year is: Golf: Thai Royal Navy 9 hole course. The teams we can now play 9 holes of scramble, or four ball better ball I think is the correct term, again much more fun and the novices stand just as much chance of winning as the low handicappers. Bang Saray Club for lunch ( pretty nice its in the Navy’s private beach area lovely teak building with a sea breeze and tasty food), Bowling Soi Zero (near Big C) Each entrant plays two games and submits the best score to be totaled for the team. Pool Caddy Shack Soi 17 for the pool and piss-up Each team nominates two members to play in doubles. This means you can be crap at pool and still win!..........providing your good players are not too inebriated by this stage The entrance fee Instead of the usual 2,000 baht and you pay for the golf and bowling, this year its 1,800 baht inclusive. An absolute bargain so let’s see some names. A number of bars and businesses are entering teams and offering prizes for a raffle. Cups will be presented to the winners ( best women’s team, worst tee shot etc ). The emphasis of the whole event is a light hearted social occasion where the winners are not capable of walking a straight line! Pm me for details or go directly to Bahtbus.com Richard
