Meet The Honorary British Consul

1. I am pleased to confirm that I will be @Bills Beach Bar* on Mon 26^th Jan from 1630hrs to discuss, enlighten & entertain the expat community as to what I can & cannot do on their behalf in my capacity as honorary consul.

2. We’re starting early to enable those with evening businesses to attend.

3. I will endeavor to answer any questions within my remit (& can usually back my answers with an anecdote or two) while staying within the guidelines of the UK’s data protection legislation (confidentiality etc).

4. Bob Keen (of Fluid Asia-Pacific) will be in attendance with some of his latest imports from UK.

5. Please pass this to interested parties. If anyone has a specific question they’re welcome to email me on info@help4brits.org & I’ll include it during the evening (or explain why I can’t).

January 2009 Get Together

Happy New Year to all readers of the Samui Ex-Servicemen Blog, hope you had a good one and are ready for the year ahead.

Thanks to Alan at The Red Fox in Lamai for hosting the final meet up of 2008, Alan once again did everybody proud with some excellent Cumberland sausage and accompaniments. This was enjoyed by all present, anybody in the Lamai area is welcome at the Red Fox anytime also home to the Koh Samui Hash House Harriers.

As the November get together was postponed due to heavy rain by one week and the next meeting would be in between Christmas and New Year it was decided to hold the next get together of the Samui Ex Servicemen in January. Hence we will be meeting next on the 27th January 2009 at The Elephant and Castle in Bang Rak at 4:30 pm for our 1st anniversary get together.

Hope to see everybody there old and new members alike.
