Looks like the previous builder skimped on the thermally expandable plasterboard, insulation, weatherproofing etc.

I'm sure other FM's can pitch in here with some advice.

Outstanding stuff Rossco, thanks for keeping us updates with the latest news on the event and the disposition of the intended beneficiaries.

Last night I was in town to meet a friend who runs another Forum

I only opened the envelope, from this other Forum, when I got home - Wow - 6,000 Baht when only 3500 Pledged.

I really appreciate the donation. We are getting close to the final target and that makes it all worth while.

I left TJs and visited Baby Boom who promised me another shirt and a unique gift voucher for the Auction.

Then on to La Bamba - I met a guy in there who served in Vietnam and remembered Pattaya from 1968.

I told him what we were up to so he put 800 Baht in my hand to help.

My Swedish friend, who will not be here in October, felt guilty so gave me another 1000 Baht.

I then visited Stringfellows and picked up another shirt for Auction

So last night not only gave me two more shirts for the Auction but gave me 3,300 more to the Charity (1500 extra from the other Forum + 800 + 1000)

Maybe I should visit town more often! I wonder if I could do a fundraiser for my liver?

Quick update from the Orphanage.

We are on target to make 215,000 Baht towards charity, based on all tickets sold (nearly there already) and achieving good prices as the auction.

We would like to raise another 10,000 Baht so we can cover the shortfall in the roof repair at the Orphanage.

If you would like to either Sponsor a team (entitles you to a complimentary ticket) or donate please do so via

15 August 2012 The Pattaya Orphanage welcomes Khun Tony, for his first and meaningful visit this afternoon. It’s very kind of Khun Tony to embrace our kids and their best interest in his heart by offering part of the fund he hopes to raise from the upcoming Lady Boy Water Volleyball charity event in October 2012. Fr. Michael Weera Phangrak shows Khun Tony the damage caused by the leaking roof at the School for the Deaf where the cost of repairs is much needed. Thanks in advance to all concerned, especially Khun Tony, for your great kindness. May the LBWVB charity event at the Evergreen Wing of Areca Lodge Pattaya be fun-filled and successful..

Just so all the contributors know that all the Sponsorship (110,000 Baht) and Donations (27,000 Baht) - Total 137,000
ALL goes to Charity.

Ticket Sales + Auction, covers the actual Event Costs, and the profit from the Event provides another 83,000 Baht making 220,000 Baht to Charity. Just 5,000 short of Target.

Costs have been kept to a minimum with many items required paid for anonymously or by the bars.

I do not know how many Tickets have been sold out of the 30 Allocated to the bars
Baby Boom (5), La Bamba (5) have sold some and so have TJ's (10) and Stringfellows (10)

I am now only holding 9. Of those 5 are set aside for some guys who have asked me to do so.

Looks like a 'Sell Out'

Many thanks to those who have Sponsored/Donated/Bought Tickets.

There will be a Certificate of Recognition/Merit ,to both the bars and yourselves, displayed in each Participating Bar, with Forum names only.

If you have Sponsored/Donated/Bought a Ticket and your Forum/Forum name is not here please Email me on [email protected]

PS I cannot attach the Doc to this site so look to anther site for the doc attachment.

Ok boys, here is the mighty La Bamba appropriately wearing gold as the team of champions. Even if they don't win the event, they get maximum points for such a hot display of finery. I feel a ham shank coming on.

Congrats to all involved.

Anaconda were the winners, beating Baby Boom in the final

[thailover57]

Thanks for that. Thought there might have been reports/pictures. I was unable to get there. The LB's get so much bad press These ladies and their bars deserve so much recognition. And the article says one team donated their winnings to the charity! Props to all involved and especially the organizer.
