Welcome to our 3rd Annual Children's
Fair. This year we have been fortunate to procure
the grassy expanse next to the tennis courts on
the grounds of the Siam Bayshore Resort in South
Pattaya for our family outing.
The planning of this event seems
to start earlier each year and so, after a long
haul, it is always good to see the culmination
of our efforts with the commencement of the Fair.
This year we have the largest selection of stalls
ever in terms of type and number. Our grogram
of events is full with entertainers and activities
for the 6-hour duration of the Fair.
The staging of the Jesters Children's
Fair would not have been possible without our
dynamic organizational committee. Many thanks
to our unprecedented 3 Platinum Sponsors this
year: Niel Poulsen of Chonburi Siam Steel Mill
Services, Shenanigans and Edgar Skjonhals of Orkide
Ekspressen.

We would not have come this far
without Susie Ngamsuwan (Web Mistress); Mike Franklin
(PR, Advertising, Children's Raffle), Brendan
Richards, Dan Dorothy, Dr. Iain Corness, Peter
Malhotra, Tom, and Lek from the Pattaya Mail (Press
and TV Coverage); Kim Fletcher (Sponsored Cycle
Ride/Pub Night); Alice Poulsen (Stalls and Grand
Raffle Prizes); Jill Thomas, Head Mistress of
St. Andrew's (School Stalls); Neville Pick, CMYK
Graphic Design (Stickers and Fair Program Guides);
Hans Spoerri, GM of Siam Bayshore Resort; KhunSomkhit,
Executive Assistant Manager of Siam Bayshore Resort,
Kevin Mitch (Site Coordinator of Children's Fair);
Graham MacDonald, for his help behind the scenes;
and the rest of the Jesters Motorcycle club as
well as the hotel staff.
The objective of the Jesters Care
for Kids 2001 is to again raise money for the
Fountain of Life Center. We go about this by seeking
corporate and individual cash sponsorship; soliciting
cyclists and sponsors for the Sponsored Bicycle
Ride; selling event shirts as well as advertising
space in our Fair Program Guide; renting stall
space; peddling donated beer and selling Children's
Raffle tickets on the day of the Fair.
Next Saturday, September 22nd,
we will augment our fund-raising by hosting the
Jesters Pub Night at Shenanigans, during which
we will be auctioning items and selling tickets
for our Grand Raffle.
