LBWVB 2015 is over and it did not rain. Winners were Blue Dolphins - TJs Music Bar - Soi 18, Naklua Runner Up Purple People Eaters - Kings Bar - Soi 8, Pattaya 3rd Place - Red Dragons - Check In Bar - Soi 7 Sukhummvit, Bangkok 4th Place - Pink Panthers - independent team 5th Place - Yellow Canaries - Cockatoo - Soi Cowboy, Bangkok What a fun packed day. The day started with grey sky and a chance of rain. The hospitality tents were erected and provided extra cover for everyone. Fortunately after some early drizzle the rain went away. Teams started to arrive about 12.00 and quickly got changed. Suddenly the whole pool area was a blaze of colour. Red, Purple, Blue, Yellow and Pink. Rotary Club provided registration and ticket duty. The professional photographers took team photos and match play started on time at 1.30pm. The DJ, with the referees, managed to keep the whole event on schedule. The matches were played 'round robin'. Each team paying every other team. Each round was made up of 2 matches of about 15 minutes each with a rest break between rounds. Team managers supplemented the 2 experienced referees as line judges. Each manager was a line judge for the round that their team was not playing. A number of volunteers helped out with line judge duty. There was a new visible score card system in place so all spectators could see the score. Quality of play has greatly improved. The Final result was that TJs won all 4 of their matches. Kings Bar won 3 of their 4, Check In won 2, Pink Panthers won 1 and Cockatoo 0 The Cheerleaders were a fun filled crazy addition with drums, air horns and incredible costumes. Three teams excelled with their cheerleaders. Best squad was easily won by Check In bar followed by Kings bar and TJs As usual the Areca Lodge do a great job - the pool area was transformed. The tents were illuminated and everyone was under cover in case of rain. The evening buffet started a little bit late which rushed the FREE raffle of 19 prizes. 10 Make up sets 4 x 500 Baht dining vouchers Beefeater 3 x 500 Baht dining vouchers Yamato 2 x 850 Baht dining vouchers Sportsman Areca Lodge Luxury room for 2 The raffle was followed by the Orphanage Oratorio, from Pattaya Orphanage, singing "You Raise me Up". The Orphanage encourages the children to sing songs in English to help with learning English. Our professional Auctioneer took over and the 9 freely donated items were auctioned for 29,200 Baht 4 sets of Formula 1 items fetched 16,500 Baht. 8 Signed baseball caps/2 shirts etc Painting 5,000 Baht - Thanks to Kwan Photo album 5,000 Baht - Thanks to Snapper Egyptian mystery 1,200 Baht LBWVB Caps/Condoms and umbrellas 1,500 Baht The children returned to sing and dance to "Thank you Very Much". The children have been rehearsing this for more than 3 months and were brilliant. Next was the presentations of the three cheques for 250,000 each to the 3 charities who all attended. Mr Gordon Niven of NB Surveys, our largest company sponsor, presented to K. Sununta, of Baan Gerda. Mr Gordon Niven also presented to Father Michael of Pattaya Orphanage. Mr Rod Charmers, of Rotary Club, presented to Catherine Riley-Bryan of Bamboo school. The children did a reprise of "Thank you Very Much". Finally it was time to reward all the teams. Prizes of gifts (Mary Kay cosmetics & Victoria Secrets bikinis plus cash) were presented by the very beautiful Miss Mimosa. http://www.mimosa-pattaya.com/ The last prize was to the Check In cheerleader squad of 6 (Cosmetics and cash) The evening ended about 10pm with ' We are the Champions'. Some attendees, including Kings bar team, visited TJs to celebrate with the winning team. One attendee has also reserved a ticket for next year. Huge thanks to everyone for their positive support and generosity. Hopefully photos to follow soon. Web Site: http://lbwvb.com/FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/LBWVB

Apologies for lack of updates over the past few weeks. LBWVB 2015 is 'Sold Out'. In fact it is oversold so some renegotiation was required with the Hotel. All is in order and the event is on Target to raise 750,000 Baht between the 3 nominated Orphanages. People may still make donations but there are no more tickets available. As before all expenses (Hotel, Printing and Prize money) have been restricted to 15% of overall income. All expenses are more than covered by Tickets - both direct Ticket sales and Sponsors attending. Nobody is subsidizing a party. Proceeds go to Charity. There are 5 teams confirmed for the event. Blue Dolphins, Pink Panthers, Purple People Eaters, Red Dragons, Yellow Canaries. Stringfellows will sadly not be participating. This also means that all teams will 'play off' in a 'round robin' tournament of 10 Matches of 5 Rounds. After the amazing impact of Check In bar, last year, all teams will have Cheerleader squads to add to the carnival atmosphere. Many thanks to all the supporters for this year. Hopefully we can report back, as in previous years, on how the money was used, by each orphanage, in January. The event contributes, in percentage terms, more than most Charity fund raisers because people give their time and donations willingly. Terrific result and all down to our 'niche community' and some very positive company sponsorship. Look forward to meeting all of the attendees - support your team.

Plans for the 4th LBWVB 100% Charity event, on Saturday 7th November 2015, are progressing well. Hope that you can help this year for one day that we can all make a difference together. Sponsor a team, Buy a ticket or Donate For PayPal go to: http://lbwvb.com/donate-to-lbwvb/ Alternatively direct contact: LBWVB@Hotmail.com Many thanks to all those generous people that have contributed so far. 6 teams of 5 players + manager Minimum 1,000 Baht/player in prize money to compensate their time and personal expense Prizes for best Cheerleader squad (max 6 per squad) - winners invited to the evening. Miss LBWVB award - to be confirmed. Entertainment - hopefully a pleasant surprise. Free raffle included in the Entry ticket Auction of unique items - with the help of a professional auctioneer! Limited to 200 daytime tickets 150 Evening. In 2014 there were just too many, to cater for, with the weather. Actual final contribution, to Charity, is obviously dependent on funds actually raised. LBWVB has already pledged up to 200,000 Baht to each of 3 Charities who are very grateful and able to make plans. Pattaya Orphanage Baan Gerda - Lopburi - Orphanage for children with HIV Bamboo School - Kanchanaburi - Orphanage on the Myanmar/Thailand border The Charities are attending the evening, to receive their cheques which gives you an opportunity to meet them. LBWVB raises funds so that these Charities can carry out significant infrastructure projects. LBWVB has already achieved a great deal, since 2012, over 3 non-profit Events: 2,877,000 Baht Gross raised 441,000 Baht Expense (15%) 2,225,000 Baht Charity - see below for a detail. 211,000 Carry forward to 2015 125,000 - Pattaya Orphanage – The Deaf school - new roof and repairs. 750,000 - Camillian Trust – helped to build the new extension to accommodate more children. 750,000 - Heartt 2000 – Dr Phillipe not only treats HIV patients but has helped get the Thai medical system to treat patients more early which is both more economic and helps the patient. 350,000 - Water4Life provided 100 + 250 Water filters that provided drinking water to 350 families in a remote areas. 250 in a Mangrove swamp region near Chantanaburi 250,000 - Life Home Project in Phuket helping single mothers and their children. Many people independently help all these Charities with Food, Gifts and treats (thanks to Hua Hin for his own personal example) but many of the Charities need larger sums to make a real long term difference. As an example. Food is an enormous help but they may also need a fridge and a stove/cooker. Sample projects: New dormitory, Roof, wash rooms, class rooms, water pumps, medication, bedding, clothing. These items are more expensive and require significant funds often beyond a personal donation. By grouping all our efforts together a 'longer lasting' difference can be made. Pattaya Orphanage (Siriphen is the international coordinator) recognizes that they are fortunate to be in a city where there are many people who come to visit, with gifts and contributions, but they still need larger sums to invest for the ongoing future care. Pattaya Orphanage need 275,000 Baht towards resurfacing access and playing areas. Baan Gerda and Bamboo School are more remote orphanages, that do not operate in large towns, so get much less contribution. They really need our help. Bamboo school plans to use this year's funds for a Library and computer room. Education is a significant step out of poverty and isolation. If they have sufficient funds then they will also improve security lighting. A team from the US are providing a volunteer workforce in November so our contribution come just in time - materials etc. Recently there was a report explaining that, when times are hard, Bamboo School budget 6 Baht per child per meal. Sometimes just Rice and Pineapple. This orphanage is in a remote area few of us have ever seen and run by a 65 year old lady, called Catherine, who also needs to fend off thieves and people attempting to molest the children. Baan Gerda need help with Medicine, Schooling and other basic needs - bedding, clothing. Visit planned soon. Many Orphanages already get help with food but that still leaves them unable to improve the amenities so desperately required. LBWVB provides us all with an opportunity to accumulate smaller contributions into an amount, which they would never probably receive from an individual, so that these charities can use it for a significant project. LBWVB seeks out Charities with a specific need normally beyond individual contributions. Thanks are due to all the, mainly silent, individuals that personally help all these charities - without your basic support they could not continue their day to day work. Food, Ice creams, Apples, Toys, Sports equipment all help - but they are, in many cases, short term treats. Every recipient charity is asked to submit a project of how they will use our joint contribution. A visit & 'follow up' report will be published to show how they have actually used the funds. These visits are freely done to demonstrate, in a visual way, how your donations were actually used. LBWVB keeps costs of the event to about 15% covered by Tickets (Direct and Sponsor). Nobody is expected to subsidize a party nor does it produce a profit for the organizers nor the participants. No Professional services, nor miscellaneous, nor out of pocket, expenses are charged. Auction & Raffle items and Team gifts are donated freely. The auditor, from 2014, has agreed to perform the independent external audit for 2015. The Event does not compete with commercial venues and, probably, helps generate more business for them. It provides an opportunity, only once per year, to support Charity through LBs. That still leaves 364 days for parties. Daytime is 1.00pm to 5.00pm. The evening Event starts at 7.00pm and finishes at 10.30pm allowing attendees to still visit the bars. Many thanks

Not too many changes over the last year. The map only includes those bars with a reasonable number of LB staff. Many bars have 1 or 2 or more but are not 100% LB orientated. LadyBoysPattayaBarsJul15.pdf

Perhaps you should apologize for behaving like a Troll for trying to undermine the only Charity project involving Lady Boys. If that is your sole objective you should apologize to the world at large. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll The event is about Charity and NOT a Bar Owners Benevolent fund. I hope that you appreciate the distinct difference? Enjoy your party but please do not pretend it is helping any Charity. If you support commerce, above charity, that is up to you and speaks volumes about your mission. 3 previous participants chose not to participate in 2015. That was their independent choice. Their 'suggestions' have been posted The terms of participation, following their 'suggestions' have been posted. Have you read them? There was no 'tantrum' just a statement of fact. 3 Bars failed to force their personal conditions on to a Charity event. The suggestions were on reducing participant cost/commitment to the detriment of funds raised. What about the 6 teams who did agree to participate? No mention - so your loyalty is to the 3 bars - yes? An independent team are participating, giving their time and effort, when there is no profit to a bar. You should apologize to all of these. Are you also aware that most bar owners did not even know each other before the Volley Ball event. Have you any idea how much indirect 'benefit' the bars receive? Publicity and custom. The event is about Charity. Participants do not 'own' the event. That would be a conflict of interest. Commerce vs Charity. Do Manchester United/Liverpool own the Premier League? Do Ferrari/Mercedes own Formula 1? If you have your head so far up 'where the sun does not shine' then that is your personal choice. Many people (a silent majority) support the event and its objectives: Raising money for Thai charities in need. Promote Lady Boys in a favourable way. How many other Events give positive media headlines to LB's? 2,250,000 Baht was given to Charity over 3 years. This year may see total 3,000,000. Costs minimized to about 15% of gross raised - no sundries/miscellaneous expense. Every contribution acknowledged. The accounts are at transactional detail Benefiting Charity demonstrating how the money is used If your preferences clash with this then that is pettiness spurned by some kind of perverse loyalty. Just go put 1 Pound in the Oxfam box and feel good - about 10 to 20 pence will get to Charity. Have you looked at the charities who benefit? Do you know which will benefit this year? http://lbwvb.com - select 2015. Perhaps also look at 'Charity', 'Sponsors'. Many people, that help, would not do so UNLESS it was Charity focus. Personally I would not bother unless it was for Charity. My time and my dime. If I ran a commercial event would the bars pay my salary? The rest of the year is for all those self indulgent parties (commerce). 1 day a year to do some good. Are you aware in 2015: 250,000 is Business sponsorship - if not Charity then not contributed. In addition there are undeclared costs: 120,000 is in Professional services given freely - if not Charity then not contributed. 148,000 is in Gifts and Auction/Raffle items - if not Charity then not contributed. Hotel discounting drinks by 25%+. A beer costs 60 baht when a bar averages 80+ Of course you are not aware. Your personal loyalty rests elsewhere. These costs, if not for Charity, would need to be paid for. You clearly demonstrate no interest in how it has been successful nor who helps and supports. Are you with me so far? That 600,000+ would not be available UNLESS a Charity event. That is why there are no Salaries paid, No Travel costs (30,000) etc. These amounts will appear, for the first time, in 2015 accounts but discounted 100%, recognizing the contribution of unsung heroes to which you have not been a part. Independent audit has been performed as per a Forum request - did you actually read it? Legal questions answered re FPO and NGO. It appears that that was not enough. What else do you want? What will you contribute? Understood? So what is your objection? Please clarify as I am very confused about your demand for an apology. Any apology due should be to supporting Family and Friends and to the Charities who do not benefit. May I suggest that you apologize for trying to undermine a respectable effort, by many positive people, who ask for nothing in return, to make a difference. All freely given without veiled demands. Enjoy your next short time. Short and your time. What a contribution. I also suggest you try to find something positive to do with your time. Are we clear now? All necessary rational thought, intelligence and common sense appears to have escaped....

PM sent with link to the thread concerning the Audit. This Forum does not, understandably, allow links to other competitive Forums. Audit completed by an independent Professor of accounting, and practicing CPA, from Australia. April 22nd You can go to the link and read the full report. Hope that helps. I will not dowload the report for fear of accusations of editing so you need to access it directly. Thanks - look forward to the continued support. This year will be slightly different which is refreshing.

2014 Final Scores It was a Black and White Finish (Sensations in Black and Baby Boom in White) The standard of play has really improved and the top 5 bars are those that practiced and it showed. In spite of the torrential rain the matches were all completed on time. One critical point, in the deciding game between TJs and Baby Boom, was challenged. The referees actually referred to a Video of the action to confirm the point and decision. La Bamba were early as well.....

The problem was that all the attendees were split amongst 4 loctions. The buffet was superb but the evening festivities were not as planned. The real result: The event raised 1,300,000 Baht with total expenses of 200,000 allowing the event to Donate 1,000,000 to Charity. The balance, of 100,000, will be used to finance another event or given to Charity The Auction, and 2 of the 3 Raffles, had to be cancelled due to the weather and no available PA system. That lost the event a possible 150,000. Some of that may be recovered by 'selling' off the items.
