Samui Ex Servicemens February 2010 Get Together

Thank you to Oh, Mark and John for accommodating us at The Elephant and Castle in Bang Rak due to a last minute change of venue.

The food as always was great and we had a very high turn out especially considering the late notice of changed venue with at least 25 people.

Our second anniversary get together will be on Tuesday the 23rd February, 4:30 pm onwards at the Full Moon Bungalows in Bang Rak.

Hope to see as many people there as we had at the January meet up.

Samui Ex Servicemens January 2010 Get Together

Happy New Year.

The last meet up of 2009 was held at the Red Fox in Lamai. I received this e-mail from one of the attendants and thought I would share it with all:

"I would just like to add my thanks to Alan at the Red Fox in Lamai for his hospitality at our December meeting.
Alan is a superb host and if he is ever stuck for something to do, he should write a book of his famous secret Cumbrian recipes.
The buffet was an outstanding success, and Alan is the sort of bloke who knows how to make everyone feel welcome and at home.

The Ballantynes was a bit of a revelation to me mate, many thanks."

What the Ballantynes had to do with it we can only wonder!

The next time we meet up will be on Tuesday the 26th January at the Full Moon Bungalows in Bang Rak 4:30 pm onwards.

Hope to see everybody there.

The next time we meet will be on Tuesday the 29th December, 4:30 pm onwards at the Red Fox in Lamai, as most of you know we usually do not get together in December due to most peoples busy schedules at this time of year, however Alan kindly offered to host Decembers gathering.

Terry Le Long, ex RAF, who is a will writer, will be coming along, so he may be able to answer any queries you may have regarding wills.

Hope to see as many as possible on Tuesday.
