2) Signed Volley Ball of Runners Up Team

3) Sports shirt signed by Anaconda Team

4) Sports shirt signed by Baby Boom Team

5) Sports shirt signed by CockTails and Dreams Team

6) Sports shirt signed by Horny Bar Team

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 LBWVB@Hotmail.Com

In Pattaya you do not lose a girl - you just miss your turn.

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

LBWVB@Hotmail.Com

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..

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?

Thanks to all the Sponsors, Contributors and Ticket buyers - you are all helping in a very practical way.

Both charities were enormously pleased with our event if a little amused at its presentation.

Rotary have bought tickets. We also had a mention on Pattaya Bay Radio FM103 which has aroused some interest from local media.

We will meet with them to discuss how we can use them to promote the event in a non intrusive manner.

The Media interest will help in organizing any future LB Promotions with the aim of improving the LB image and raise money for good causes.

Rotary Club are really grateful for our pledged donation to their Water Filtration project - we will supply 2 villages with drinking water - which we all take for granted.

The Orphanage can now plan their repairs. From my limited knowledge the problem seems to be:

The interior ceiling is a plasterboard suspended ceiling with glass panels in it to allow natural light.

The actual external roof is comprised of Corrugated tiles and Corrugated clear plastic (for light) - the leaks are probably where the tiles and plastic meet. I have seen a similar problem elsewhere and also in the La Bamba store room.

When it rains here it is in torrents, so the water gets between the two different types of materials because they do not meet/overlap flush. Any builders out there with good ideas?

Some photos of the problem - the roof covers the bathroom, and classroom, in the wing dedicated to the School for the Deaf. The kids were amazing.

Attached Images

Well I do owe an update but I wanted to vet the charities nominated..

I just had two very emmotionally charged days. They were a big enough reward for me.

I presented what we are doing, on 27th Oct 2012, to Rotary who promptly bought 5 tickets - these are selling like wildfire. There are less than 20 left to sell with 9 weeks to go - NONE will be available on the day.

Rotary's project is superb and they will be sending me links to what we are actually supporting - 2 villages will have drinking water because of us.

The Orphanage - I cannot say enough. The Deaf kids were over me like a rash. Father Michael gave me the 1000 Dollar tour. It makes you very humble to be in his company. He was amazed at our plans (perverse) and, as we both agreed, referring to ladyBoys, the good Lord works in mysterious ways.

He also shared with me that many LBs visit and help and contribute - they are not all 'bad thieving skanks' as so often portrayed. I hope we improve their pubic image (not pubic) by having 40 participate in what should be a great fun competition.

You guys made it happen - your generosity. I was pushing the boat out at a target of 150,000 baht.

We are heading into over 200,000 baht territory. That is incredible.

I do not charge admin, travel, phone, my time, for this, 100% of ALL Sponsorship and Donations will go to the charities. The event is self funding and, in itself, makes a sizeable contribution. There will be set of transparent accounts published immediately after the event.

Thanks to those that have contributed and shame on those that did not - we do not have many opportunities to use our collective interest to do something really good for people that are far worse off than us.

I have many photos from my 2 days of vetting - it would be inappropriate to post them on our kind of site - I hope you understand that.

I do have some photos of the roof that needs repair - it is the Deaf kids wash room. To see all their towels and toothbrushes lined up was heart wrenching. I wanted to adopt them all BUT the Orphanage takes such damned good care I would be a poor substitute. I take my hat off to the people that give their lives so generously.

I met a French gap year student, who had never been out of France, her time given to help kids.

We are 15,000 short of the target, assuming all tickets sold and reserves met at auction.

Thanks to Restaurants, Bars and individuals for contributing so many generous items. I know a roofer, in Birmingham, who would be ideal for the repair work!

If any of you would like to sponsor a bar, or contribute, now is the time to do so. I have made it very simple for people to make a payment/contribution - simply donate. PayPal, Cash, bank Transfer

Be part of something we can be proud of.

Both the Orphanage and the Rotary club will have Plaques/Posters acknowledging our contribution to improve people's lives. Funded/Sponsored by The Forum Members

An update on how all your contributions will be spent.

There are two Charities to receive the proceeds - the new target is 200,000 Baht between the two.

Pattaya Orphanage - a new roof for the Deaf School - see email below

Rotary Club - will install about 100 Water Filtration systems in poor, remote villages. That is enough for 2 villages.

It would be great if we could raise the last 25,000 for the Orphange project - a new roof

Financed by Forum Members - 2012

Dear Khun Tony,

It happened that a big need has come up due to the leaking of the deaf school’s roof. Fr. Michael has just got the estimated costs which is approx. 300,000 Baht. The ministry of education has recently pledged 175,000 Baht for the new fiscal year, i.e. October 2012. We’ll need to find support for the rest, and if LBWVB could support with 100,000 Baht, we will be very grateful indeed.

It’s rainy season but due to lacking of budget and close to the celebration, we have had to fix the roof temporarily. If you have time, you can come and see the area of needs. If you wish to join the celebration of the School’s 30th anniversary next Monday (13th August) you could take the opportunity to see it too. Otherwise, we can show you any day between 9:00 and 17:00 hrs.

Kindly let us know what you think. My phone number if 081 914 4155 and I’ll be in the office tomorrow since Thursday is my weekly day-off.

Thank you in anticipation.

Best wishes,

Post from WordPro does not work in the Editor

TTChang - have edited the table to show your 'Home base' as LBR.

Pook Bar put up their posters yesterday - they were Runners Up in the Beach Volley Ball in 2009.

They will be tough opponents - even without stilletto heels.

Apologies for format - you can download the RTF file to view.

Sponsor list - As the bars now have the majority of the tickets to sell, if you want to sponsor a bar you need to let me know soon.

Sponsors attending receive 1, non transferable, Comp Ticket – some of you have bought an extra ticket.

The amount shown is the amount actually received for the sponsorship element only and not for extra tickets.

If you are attending can see your Sponsorship Ticket number and any extra ticket number.

Extra Tickets are recorded separately under ticket sales which I will post nearer the time. Note: If you paid by PayPal they do make some small charge

Many thanks to all those that have sponsored a bar and the Event - Sponsorship alone is nearly 105,000 Baht

We have Donations, Ticket Sales and the Auction to add to the final Gross Total.

We eventually hope to be able to donate between 150,000 to 180,000 Baht to Charity

Sponsor list.rtf

Jimbo is a canny promoter - I reckon these are just three stooges for the photo - the real team were down the Gym or Hotel doing press-ups - alone or accompanied...

Just for clarification - though those that Sponsored already know as they read all the blurb to date.

A question has been posed re Bar contribution. Answer follows:

24,000 Baht from 8 Bars - 3,000 Entry Fee.

Bars get 6 comp tickets - their team of 5 + 1 for the manager/Mamasan.

Some bar owners are even BUYING extra tickets for their partners and/or Mamasan

2 Bars have even pre-paid the tickets they were allocated to sell.

The bars are giving up 5 of their staff for the event. It is the teams that make the event. No LB Team no Water VB

Bars also have to do some promotion and display posters, sell tickets and squeeze out some donations - all invisible to the forum

The bars also have to buy their Team strip - color coded bikinis for the event.

They need to take care of their Team members and guests - drinks etc

Some bars have also put up some exciting items for the auction - free of charge.

The winning team will get 1,500 each (7,500), Runners up get 1,000 each (5,000), ALL other players

I think the bars are doing a splendid job and the last thing I want to see is any negativity.

They are sticking their hands deep into their pockets so a privileged few can enjoy this special day.

This is for Charity.

To head off any other questions, which reading this thread would have answered, here are some other details.

ALL the Auction items have been kindly donated FREE. One item is face value 10,000 Baht

2 Forums have donated sums of money and not even asked for a Comp Ticket

33 Sponsors have put in their 3,000 pledges - all collected as of today - via PayPal or Cash

A Sponsor, if actually attending, receives one non transferable, complimentary ticket. If they are not actually attending then the ticket is re-sold.

Sponsors get nothing else - except the knowledge that they are doing something for Charity.

17 of the 33 current list of sponsors are attending - I do not know all these good hearted guys personally but my thanks goes out to them.

13 Tickets I sold before I even had them printed - to people, who are not into the LB scene, but who like to support Charities.

I have no doubt that ALL the tickets will be sold well before the event.

What does a ticket give you?

A fun day out at a unique sporting event provided by 40 bikini clad LBs.

A Gala buffet, at a 4 star hotel, in Central Pattaya, with discounted drinks and room rates.

A terrific photo opportunity as attendees of the last Beach Volley Ball and Dinner will attest to.

An opportunity to bid on some unique items at the Auction - held after prize giving at 9.00pm

A feeling that you have helped and contributed to good causes.

ALL for a measly 1,000 baht - that is less than most Drink Bins in a bar.

The target is a gross of about 250,000 Baht based on:

24,000 Bar entry fees - see above

99,000 Baht Sponsors

84,000 Ticket sales - 150 Tickets minus18 Tickets to Sponsors/Donors, 48 to the Participating bars = 84 ticket sales

33,000 Auction

20,000 Donations etc

260,000 Total receipts forecast

Costs

42,500 Hotel

27,500 Prize money - see above

10,000 Printing & equipment

80,000 Approx - as we have not held the event yet.

NET 180,000 Plus to Charity

Please note that sponsorship was only 99,000 of this

As I said at the outset, on page 1 of this thread, ALL Sponsor money goes to charity whether the sponsor attends or not.

Any further questions will be charged at 1,000 baht each - which will go to charity - of course.

Now I will get back to my organizing duties which are far more productive than defending the logistics, of the event, against tight twats......

PS Apologies if my Grammar, Spelling and Syntax is off but the keys were getting very hot!

Hmmmm

I will ensure the pool is even deeper - any volunteers for Life Guard Duty?

I will also make sure mirrors are on the bottom to cause player distraction........

I need to close off sponsorship soon as the remaining tickets are in the Bars to sell.

I will then post a table of which is the most sponsered by Bar and Forum - interesting stats.

When the event is over each participating bar will have a certiicate to display showing sponsors of the event (Forum Names only) and how many each bar achieved.

The really good news is that we are on target to raise 180,000 Baht for the 3 nominated charities - in Thai terms that is a huge amount of money to donate.

All the sponsors will have a place reserved in LB heaven - much thanks to all of you who have contributed.

Big thanks to all of you - Bars. Sponsors, Contributors and of course Ticket buyers

Oh shit - and here was I thinking it would be just a 'Fun' day out

Please remember the media will be there and we want to put on a good face or ass.....

Are you sure that you mean "Lick their Ass" or "Kick their Ass"

I think if you mean the former ole Iceberg may make them lose

The Teams receiving the poster for their bar - I could not fly down and back to Phuket during the evening so I will let Jimbo update us with his team.

Pook Bar is absent as I would not risk taking photos without Pook around - those damned stilletto heels hurt.

In order - apologies about pic quality - I hardly ever use a camera.

Check out this thread for payment options/details.

PayPal is working fine

LBWVB@Hotmail.Com

If Sponsoring then Nomiate the Bar of your choice.

PayPal do charge 125 Baht for a 3,000 Baht payment and 60 baht on 1,000 Baht (Ticket)

Posters and Tickets should be on Sale in Participating bars by tomorrow night BUT some bar's admin leaves a little bit to be desired......

Bars that will HAVE tickets

Pook bar is not so easy for me to manage

Horny Bar is OK if Joy/Vinee are actually there.

Alternative is PM me or email via LBWVB@Hotmail.Com and we can meet up.

Thanks for your support - over 75 Tickets are sold/reserved already.

A bit of Trivai to add to the thread.

I think the real shift upwards in Forum activity was due to that old Portugese Pirate

Frank of Club 131

Until 131 came on the scene the LB Bars in Pattaya were JSB/Linda Bar, HiBoss, Limmatquai

None of the bars actually contributed to the Forums.

Then Frank appeared - he was a great host and used the Forums merclessly to promote his new enterprise.

He paved the way for Bars to promote themselves on the Forum. He really saw the power of the internet Forums to aid his venue. He was a pathfinder.

When Frank left (an overnight flight) he left a void.

In the demise of Club 131 La Bamba was created. I used to visit most of the bars regularly and encouraged SoWhat, BabyBoom, Horny to register on the Forums. I feel that the bar's direct contribution has added a lot of content.

It is interesting to note that the Thai owned bars, Pook, Family Group, Nice, HiBoss still do not contribute directly to the Forums.

So the question is - Where is Frank?

Quick update

68 Tickets, of the 150, have gone already

48 to the participating bars

2 to organizers

5 to attending sponsors who have paid

2 to sponsors not yet paid

11 Sold

Some bars are already reserving tickets for cutomers/friends who have requested one.

We have not even got the printed tickets yet. Thursday, 5th July, both the tickets and Bar posters will be collected from the printers.

Participating bars will display the poster, promoting the event, and will have limited tickets on sale.

If you want a ticket you can pay by PAYPAL

LBWVB@Hotmail.Com

TKT. FORUM NAME. Nos of Tickets

Please ensure you do send 1000 baht - some payments have had 50 baht deducted - we could lose 5,000 baht.

Perhaps send 1050 Baht.

Thanks

The poster that will only be in the participating bars next week

Poster V1.1.pdf

Many thanks to Deepthroat and Duke007 and of course BadPress. I really appreciate your support - Duke has a nose for a winner (but not Football!) so take care what you wager.....

GutsyBastard

The hotel are offering a 10% discount but I do not have a discount code yet - I have written to the Manager and suggested LBWVB.

When making the booking you could explain that you are making the reservation to watch the Volley Ball on 27th Oct and that you understand that there is a 10% discount for bookings at this event. The Food and Beverage (F& manager is called Joe - mention his name.

When I get a code confirmed I will post on the various boards.

You should be able to buy a ticket from any of the 8 participating bars - the tickets will be available from early July.

Many tickets are already sold - they are in demand by friends of the bars etc.

We have a capacity of 150 Maximum. There are only 100 for sale as 50 are taken up by the contestants/bars. 5 Players plus manager for each of 8 bars = 48.

If you sponsor a team like Duke/DT/BadPress you also get a non-transferable complimentary ticket which I will hold for you guaranteeing you a ticket in advance.

I would hate for you to book the hotel and then not be able to buy a ticket. Contact me on

LBWVB@Hotmail.Com
