The date is likely to be Saturday 27th October - the prospective Hotel has yet to confirm and submit a revised contract.
I know that sounds a bit formal but we are reserving their Guest Pool area and 150 Persons for an evening Buffet etc
My Thinglish is a bit limited.....

They want to be clear on:
What we are expecting them to provide
They want some guarantee on numbers - that is firm deposit
Agreement on either party cancelling at the last minute

Teams are

Anaconda ANA
Baby Boom BB - White
C&D C&D
Horny Bar HB - Orange or Black
La Bamba LB
Pook POOK
Stringfellows SF - Yellow
TJs TJ - Blue

When the hotel confirms I will instruct the Printers to go ahead with Tickets, Posters and Drink Coupons.
We have set up a separate Bank Account (without an ATM Card) and a PayPal account - so you have no excuses...

Charity money will be raised by:

Entry fees - bars all pay an entry fee to participate. They get most of this back in prize money
Sale of tickets - bars will have tickets on sale - there are only 100 Tickets as 50 attendees are the participating LBs/owners from the Bars and Umpires
Donations - via PayPal/Bank Transfer
Sponsorship - please PM me if you are interested. We are hoping to have an award for the most sponsored bar
Auction Items - these will be published prior to the event so you can bid on line - the actual auction will be at the Party.

There is an Email account set up to contact us:

[email protected]

This is also the Pay Pal account Email ID - if you use PayPal please enter:

Which Forum: LBP, LBQ, LB69, LBR, SFF
Forum Name: eg. Rossco etc
Type of Payment: Ticket (TKT), Donation (DON), Sponsorship (SPO)
Bar Sponsored: ANA, BB, C&D, HB, LB, POOK, SF, TJ

Finding an Hotel has been a nightmare. Our original preferred hotel played us along for a month only to let us down badly.

I toured Pattaya looking for a suitable hotel - some were totally unsuitable, some were a little tired looking and some were out of town.

Basically the spec was:

* Central Pattaya - we do not want to become involved in transport problems and people becoming lost.
* The date was set at 27th October to suit attendees. It had to be a Saturday so guys working in Bangkok could attend.
* The hotel needed a swimmIng pool big enough and of a suitable depth - no drowned LBs.
* The Hotel needs to provide a Buffet of both Thai and International cuisine at a suitable price for 150 people.
* The Hotel need to adopt the Drink Coupon to avoid any Unpaid Bins

The selected Hotel has not only agreed to my rigid requirements but has:

Discounted their normal Buffet by 15% to meet my budget of 250 baht per head.
Waived the normal Swimming Pool charge of 7,000 Baht - for towels and cleaning service
Discounted Soft drinks from 45 to 30 Baht to accomodate the Drink Coupon and my spec
Discounted Beer from 80 to 60 Baht
Discounted Gin/Vodka plus mixers from 120 to 90 baht
Discounted Rooms by 10% - people wishing to book will need a special booking reference which I will post soon

It has been a stressful month and I was beginning to think I would need to rethink the overall plan.
I am very grateful to the hotel for accomodating us and I need to underpin the need for everyone to be on best behaviour as there will be other guests at the hotel. The event is designed to also improve the image of LBs by having them participate

Oh yes - the name of the Hotel

The Evergreen - located behind the Areca Lodge on Soi Diana - does anyone need directions..........

So the venue is set. I will be paying the 50% deposit this week.

Now I can proceed with:
Printing Posters for you to display in the bars
Print 150 Event Tickets which will be on sale in the participating bars or PM me or contact [email protected]
Print Drink Coupons
Buy Volley Balls and Net.
Start collecting Auction items
Arrange for music for the evening.
Continue chasing sponsors - 10 have paid in and 8 have 'pledged' their contribution - I need at least 7 more

Please let me know if you will sponsor a bar - all proceeds to charity.

Very strange happenings in the bars - they are all employing taller staff. I have no idea why......
