These 14 year old twin brothers have only been at the Home a few weeks; they have never celebrated Christmas and, surprisingly, never been for a meal in a proper restaurant. After feasting on a large selection of seafood, and not a Brussels Sprout in site, the children gathered for a lucky draw which saw all of them receive a gift. The following day the children with special needs Santa at Father Ray Day Care Center Early on Christmas Day the toddlers arrived at the Father Ray Day Care Center for a morning of singing, dancing, eating and fun, and all was going well until Santa arrived. The children know who Santa is, they had seen photos of him and watched him on TV, but to see him in the flesh was too much for many of the youngsters. There were screams of terror as they watched a very tall red suited white bearded and bell ringing man make his way towards them. It was a few brave young 3 year olds who held their Christmas party and words cannot describe the noise that more than 100 children made. Again there was lots of Jetstar Are Go! Christmas. Food was served buffet style, and each project provided the entertainment. The toddlers from the Day Care Center jumped around the stage in fancy dress, teenagers from the Children’s Home gave a traditional dance performance and the wheelchair dancers amazed everyone. The girls from the Children’s Village hulahooped, there was a magic show from the teenagers with special needs and the blind students danced like tomorrow. At evening the students were there was no the end of the children and well fed, happy Jetstar Asia Celebrates 10 years in Asia Jetstar Asia enters the second decade of commercial operations this month and celebrates a decade of low fares, innovation and travel. In the last ten years, Jetstar Asia has carried more than 23 million passengers and introduced low fares to 22 destinations in 13 countries in Asia. Founding CFO of Jetstar Asia and current CEO, Bara Pasupathi, said he had witnessed first-hand the transformational effect low fares have had on passengers. “In Asia, we have sold close to 8.3 million fares for under SGD80 and have created thousands of new opportunities for travel,” he said. The Singapore-Jakarta route, along with the SingaporeKuala Lumpur and SingaporeBangkok routes are some of the busiest LCC routes in the world. Mr Pasupathi said combining low fares with innovation has been key to Jetstar Asia’s ability to continue to cater for the changing needs and demands of the consumer. A commitment to innovation has been core to Jetstar Asia’s first decade and will continue to play an important role in the second. “We were the first to introduce the virtual assistant, straight-to-gate service, self-service kiosks and bag drop services and most recently, the mobile boarding pass in Singapore all making travel easier and importantly more accessible, which is what low fares are all about. In the coming decade we will roll out the services across the region and continue to invest in solutions that help keep our costs low and our service offering innovative” said Mr Pasupathi. New Appointment eventually got near, and within minutes Santa was mobbed by children all wanting to tug his beard and rub his fat belly. At lunch time 79 residents from the Father Ray Children’s Home went off for Christmas lunch, food, and all the children received several gifts. But the event many children had been waiting all year for arrived on the evening of the 26th, when almost 1,000 children and students gathered to celebrate and groaning under the weight of all their Christmas gifts. On the way home, the two brothers agreed that they love celebrating Christmas and can’t wait for next year.

PAGE 10 PATTAYA PEOPLE WEEKLY ISSUE 479 | SATURDAY 3RD TO SATURDAY 10TH JANUARY 2015 Reassess your risk appetite for 2015, investors warned Investors need to reassess their risk appetite for 2015, warns a leading global analyst at one of the world’s largest financial advisory organisations. The warnings from Tom Elliott, International Investment Strategist at deVere Group, which has 80,000 clients and $10bn under advice, are in response to expectations of rising market volatility over the next 12 months as well as regulatory changes. Mr Elliott explains: “Investors who are sensitive to market volatility may need to increase their exposure to defensive sectors and stock markets, because stock market volatility is likely to increase in 2015. “The uncertainty over the ongoing development of the euro project, and Japan’s use of massive fiscal and monetary expansion to achieve consistent economic growth, represent existing political risks for investors. “2015 may also see some increase in risk coming from other countries. For instance, we may discover if China’s private sector has taken on too much debt, if a wave of defaults from property companies, for example, leads to a banking crisis, will the Chinese government bail them out? What will the impact be on growth? “In addition, it should be noted that a weak Russian bear is potentially more dangerous than a strong one, and if export energy prices remain depressed and the economy falls into recession, President Putin may choose to ramp up the rhetoric. “However, the country most likely to experience a rise in political risk is the UK as voters and investors make sense of a new political landscape, triggered by two nationalist parties (UKIP and the SNP) challenging the Conservative and Labour parties’ traditional dominance of Westminster. The spring general election may well result in a minority government that seeks allies on a policy-by-policy basis, or another coalition government. Neither promises stability. He continues: “In terms of the evolving regulatory requirements, a wave of post-credit crunch financial sector regulation, most notably the American 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, have caused investment banks to allocate less capital to market making, in both stock and bond markets. “As a result financial markets have become less liquid, and as the October ‘flash crash’ demonstrated, more susceptible to panics. “The high yield bond sector looks most vulnerable to this problem, even when the run-up to the credit crunch liquidity was thin. Rolling over debt for high yield issuers may become expensive, negatively affecting earnings and their stock valuation.” Mr Elliott concludes: “In light of both the pressing geopolitical factors and the changing regulatory landscapes, it would be prudent for many investors to reassess their risk appetite for 2015 with their independent financial adviser.” Income inequality damaging to economic growth, says OECD The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found that income inequality has a “statistically significant impact” on economic growth. The OECD research showed that an increase of inequality in the UK cost the economy almost 9% of GDP growth between 1990 and 2010 and the US lost some 7%. The OECD also found that redistribution of wealth via taxes and benefits does not hamper economic growth. “This compelling evidence proves that addressing high and growing inequality is critical to promote strong and sustained growth and needs to be at the centre of the policy debate,” said OECD’s secretary general, Angel Gurría. “Countries that promote equal opportunity for all from an early age are those that will grow and prosper.” According to the research, the gap between rich and poor is at the highest level in 30 years across the 34 countries that form part of OECD. The richest 10% in those states earn, on average, 9.5 times the poorest. In the 1980s, they earned 7 times as much. The only countries in which the OECD found inequality had fallen were Greece and Turkey. The problem stems, the group said, from a lack of investment in education. Fewer educational opportunities for disadvantaged individuals had the effect of “lowering social mobility and hampering skills development,” the report warned. It also said that those whose parents have low levels of education suffer most when inequality Small Gaming Business for sale in Pattaya Ideal business for a Foreigner, who could run this business with his Thai partner working only a few hours every day.

US House passes $1.1tn budget Only hours before government was set to shut down this month, the US House of Representatives passed a $1.1tn budget with a 219-206 vote. Although it was a measure put forward by the Republicans - who won control of both the House and the Senate last month - President Obama had urged Democrats to support the budget. The budget should fund the government until September 2015 but some areas are set to only receive short term funding. “Thank you and Merry Christmas,” were the first words of a relieved John Boehner, the Republicans’ House leader. The day’s chaotic events were another reminder of the capital’s increasingly polarised political climate, as well as a signal that fresh fault lines may lie ahead in a Democratic party still regrouping after its stunning losses in November’s midterm elections. The day also exposed the growing rift between President Barack Obama and parts of his own party. In total, fifty-seven Democrats voted for the bill, but others were angry about the president’s call for support of the Republican bill, with Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi saying she was “enormously disappointed” at Obama’s position. “I’m enormously disappointed that the White House feels that the only way they can get a bill is to go along with this,” Pelosi said on the floor of the House. “That would be the only reason I think they would say they would sign such a bill.” Fed weighs heavy on the emerging markets Emerging markets have been struggling on the back of tough economies but the Federal Reserve in the US might not be cutting them any slack, as it puts off its pledge of low rates for a “considerable time”. As the US economy continues to improve, it seems now less and less willing to give others a chance to catch up. This collision in interests means that Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen has a delicate communications challenge at her last monetary policy meeting of 2014. The meeting will be putting Fed doctrine to the test as international issues spill over onto local policy. So far it seems that the US will only weigh in on international issues when they affect the US. If Yellen sends a strong signal on rate rises it could extend a rout in emerging markets by sucking capital back into the US.The declines in the Russian rouble, Turkish lira and Brazilian real have triggered an exodus into havens such as US Treasury bonds. This highlights a issue for the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee. The Fed is growing steadily more confident of rate rises by the middle of 2015 after the best run of US data since the beginning of the crisis and subsequent recession. It wants to prepare markets that are pricing in slow rate hikes. Yet global weakness is a risk to the US economy, not least while inflation remains well below target, with prices up 1.4% on a year ago. The Fed has been in a pre-meeting communications blackout for the past week. UK inflation decreases to its lowest in a decade Falling oil and food prices have driven UK inflation to its lowest level in more than a decade, delivering a boost to the spending power of households who are still recovering from a period of stagnant wages. The consumer price index rose by just 1% in the year to November, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday, the lowest level since 2002 and down from 1.3% in October. With the price of oil continuing to slide, most economists expect the rate to fall still further over the coming months and to remain well below the Bank of England’s 2% target for an extended period. The price of Brent crude fell below $60 a barrel on Tuesday for the first time since 2009. Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, said the fall of more than 40 % in oil prices since June was unambiguously good news for the UK. The impact will “flow quickly through to consumers and increase real disposable income and is a net positive for the UK economy”, he said. Separate data from the ONS also established that the period of rapid acceleration in the UK housing market looks to be over. House prices increased by 10.4% in the year to October, a notable drop from the 12.1% increase recorded in September. BP expects $1bn job cuts charge Tumbling oil prices have led BP to prepare for a sweeping $1bn cost-cutting programme which will see several thousand jobs cut as part of restructuring charges over the next year. The oil company is also planning to cut capital expenditure further as part of its strategy for 2015, having already announced a reduction of $1bn-$2bn across the group next year. The company is updating investors on Wednesday on its plans for the upstream and downstream businesses as the world’s majors start to take action in response to a 40 per cent slide in crude that has sent their own share prices plunging. “We have already been working very hard over these past 18 months or so to right-size our organisation as a result of completing more than $43bn of divestments. We are clearly a more focused business now and, without diverting our attention from safety and reliability, our goal is to make BP even stronger and more competitive,” said Bob Dudley, chief executive. “The simplification work we have already done is serving us well as we face the tougher external environment. We continue to seek opportunities to eliminate duplication and stop unnecessary activity that is not fully aligned with the group’s strategy.” The group has been divesting parts of its portfolio in recent years and is now a third smaller than it was four years ago. It plans $10bn of asset disposals by 2016 as part of its restructuring plan. Analysts are expecting cuts in exploration spending and possible project deferrals.

This week we have York! York is a stray male dog aged around 2 years who recently found a new home in a village in Pattaya. Sadly, some people in the village started to beat him and hunt him making him more and more scared of strangers. He is very friendly and extremely clever and does not hurt other dogs or people. He was vaccinated in June, 2014 and would be a perfect family dog with a watch dog instinct. He needs an urgent home, as some people in the village have said they want to “do something” if he is not gone soon. York can be delivered free anywhere in Pattaya and Bangkok.

The secret of your sexy success is to be a bit choosy and take things in moderation with an eye to future happiness. Okay, maybe you don’t have to plan that far ahead. CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23) Partnerships become a more important part of your life. Cancers feel the need to solidify current relationships and seek new, practical ones. You may even aspire to advance your social standing with a new liaison from the cream of the social crop. Seek and you shall find. But will they respect you in the morning? Do you really care? LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23) Leos are revitalized this week. You have more energy than usual and may even feel like taking on a more rigorous exercise regime or diet. Why not hire a personal trainer and get those buns in motion? Day to day work also takes on a new and brilliant hue. You become a star on the job. Show ‘em what’s cooking in the cubicle. Err what’s that smell? VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23) Virgos can let it all hang out if they want, this week. Go out and holiday party hearty. Play, daydream, create. Tap into your artistic muse. Not only can you expand your imagination, you can also add a notch on LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23) Circumstances this week highlight any ongoing, intense family matter. It’s now or never to deftly handle what needs to be done. But remember - Nobody pushes Libra into a corner. Examine the circumstances, peel back and examine the real issues and set the record straight once and for all. You have nothing to lose but a lot of aggravation and yet another Christmas fruitcake. SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22) Right or wrong, you are usually right. Now you’re more on target than usual. Scorpios always seem to know the appropriate thing to say at the appropriate time so tell it as you see it. Write a scathing letter to the editor or to some politician. Don’t wait too long though. Issues get old and stale quickly and you’ll go back to sniffing the fridge for unpleasant smells. SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22) Money matters actually do matter now. What do you really value, aside from a darn good time? Any financial problems can suddenly seem surmountable so pull out the checkbook, pay your bills and get yourself back into the black. Save something for a rainy day. Fiscal stability can be in the stars if you set your mind to it. Heck, even you can do it, Sagittarius. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20) The next few weeks are a revitalizing and refreshing time for you. Step into the center of the action and see who presses and impresses. Capricorns have ample charisma and just need a little more personal oomph and confidence. Begin new things, meet new folks and freshen up your over-ripe appearance. You’re the one to know. So get your act together and take it on the road. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19) If there was ever a time to polish off your crystal ball and have a good psychic look, this is it. Aquarians plum the depths of their intuition and delve into the occult. You may even feel surprisingly invincible. No nasty surprises can be dredged up to harm you. Hidden enemies are thwarted in their dastardly deeds and you find opportunities to exact your revenge. Just wait.... PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) Pisces needn’t rely on the kindness of strangers now. Pals are there for you to provide ample moral support for any personal problem and great camaraderie just for the heck of it. Enjoy the holiday cheer while you can. The time may soon come for you to examine long term goals and commitments with an idea to downsize and belt tighten. ... in the new year!

Lipomas are slow-growing, nearly always benign, adipose tumors that are most often found in the subcutaneous tissues. Most lipomas are asymptomatic, can be diagnosed with clinical examination and do not require treatment. These tumors may also be found in deeper tissues such as the intermuscular septa, the abdominal organs, the oral cavity, the internal auditory canal, the cerebellopontine angle and the thorax. Lipomas have been identified in all age groups but usually first appear between 40 and 60 years of age.Congenital lipomas have been observed in children.Some lipomas are believed to have developed following blunt trauma. Multiple lipomatosis of the trunk (hereditary multiple lipomatosis). Evaluation Lipomas usually present as nonpainful, round, mobile masses, with a characteristic soft, doughy feel. The overlying skin appears normal. Lipomas can usually be correctly diagnosed by their clinical appearance alone. Microscopically, lipomas are composed of mature adipocytes arranged in lobules, many of which are surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Occasionally, a nonencapsulated lipoma infiltrates into muscle, in which case it is referred to as an infiltrating lipoma. Four other types of lipomas may be noted on a biopsy specimen. Angiolipomas are a variant form with co-existing vascular proliferation. Angiolipomas may be painful and usually arise shortly after puberty. Pleomorphic lipomas are another variant in which bizarre, multinucleated giant cells are admixed with normal adipocytes.Pleomorphic lipomas’ presentation is similar to that of other lipomas, but they occur predominantly in men 50 to 70 years of age. A third variant, spindle cell lipomas, has slender spindle cells admixed in a localized portion PATTAYA PEOPLE WEEKLY ISSUE 479 | SATURDAY 3RD TO SATURDAY 10TH JANUARY 2015 Lipoma Excision of regular-appearing adipocytes. A newly described variant of superficial lipoma, adenolipoma, is characterized by the presence of eccrine sweat glands in the fatty tumor; this type is often located on the proximal parts of the limbs. A rare clinical consideration is Dercum’s disease, or adiposis dolorosa, which is characterized by the presence of irregular painful lipomas most often found on the trunk, shoulders, arms, forearms, and legs. Dercum’s disease is five times more common in women, is often found in middle age, and has asthenia and psychic disturbances as other prominent features. Malignancy is rare but can be found in a lesion with the clinical appearance of a lipoma. Liposarcoma presents in a fashion similar to that of a lipoma and appears to be more common in the retroperitoneum, and on the shoulders and lower extremities. Some surgeons recommend complete excision of all clinical evidence of a lipoma to exclude a possible liposarcoma, especially in fastgrowing lesions.Recently, magnetic resonance imaging has been used with some success to differentiate lipomas and liposarcomas. Treatment N O N E X C I S I O N A L TECHNIQUES Nonexcisional treatment of lipomas, which is now common, includes steroid injections and liposuction. Steroid injections result in local fat atrophy, thus shrinking (or, rarely, eliminating) the lipoma. Injections are best performed on lipomas less than 1 inch in diameter. A one-to-one mixture of 1 percent lidocaine (Xylocaine) and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog), in a dosage of 10 mg per mL, is injected into the center of the lesion; this procedure may be repeated several times at monthly intervals. The volume of steroid depends on the size of the lipoma, with an average of 1 to 3 mL of total volume administered. The number of injections depends on the response, which is expected to occur within three to four weeks. Complications, which are rare, are the result of the medication or the procedure, and can be prevented by injecting the smallest total amount possible and by positioning the needle so that it is in the center of the lipoma. PREPARATION FOR EXCISION Surgical excision of lipomas often results in a cure. Before the surgery, it is often helpful to draw an outline of the lipoma and a planned skin excision with a marker on the skin surface. The outline of the tumor often helps to delineate margins, which can be obscured after administration of the anesthetic. Excision of some skin helps to eliminate redundancy at closure.Proposed incision removing skin over the lipoma. The palpable borders of the lipoma are marked to aid the surgeon in complete removal. The skin is then cleansed with povidone iodine (Betadine) or chlorhexidine (Betasept) solution, making sure to avoid wiping away the skin markings. The area is draped with sterile towels. Local anesthesia is administered with 1 or 2 percent lidocaine with epinephrine, usually as a field block. Infiltrating the anesthetic in the subcutaneous area surrounding tumor (Figure 3). Dissection is then performed beneath the subcutaneous fat to the tumor. the operative field creates a field block. EXCISION Larger lipomas are best removed through incisions made in the skin overlying the lipoma. The incisions are configured like a fusiform excision following the skin tension lines and are smaller than the underlying tumor. The central island of skin to be excised is grasped with a hemostat, or Allis clamp, which is used to provide traction for the removal of the Any tissue cutting is performed under direct visualization using a no. 15 scalpel or scissors around the lipoma. Care must be taken to avoid nerves or blood vessels that may lie just beneath the tumor. Please come to see Dr. kitti, our orthopedic Surgeon, for consulting and surgery.

CAFE KRONBORG 22nd Dec: Christmas Fayre Alec Chilcott Cup at Bangpakong. This event was started many years ago by the former golf chairman Alec Chilcott where the concept is the entry fee is a gift wrapped golf gift that are all placed on a table and the best score has the pick of the lot until the worst score picks up the last gift. Only one flight and the full 6 pins. The construction on Route 314 held us up for about 10 minutes so if you are going there soon leave early. We had a quick check in and off the first tee under sunny skies with winds blowing a moderate gale. The course was in good shape very wet in places due to sprinkler malfunctions earlier in the morning. The course was very busy taking 4 hours and 50 minutes to get around. Back in the clubhouse Torben Sorensen (20) was the winner on a countback from Peter Bygballe (21) second, both with a fine 38 points. Despite the trying conditions, Maurice Herberg (11) came third on a countback from Andre Van Dyk (16) fourth on a countback from Rob Brown (11) fifth - all 37 points. We wish to thank Cafe Kronborg host Bjarne for donating this year’s fine trophy. Long Putts: 9 Peter Hammond, 18 Kurt Sandgaard. Near Pins: 2 & 13 Peter Bygballe, 7 Mike Winfield. TROPICAL GOLF GROUP Friday, Dec 19th: Crystal Bay, Stableford. Fate has smiled on us recently. Crystal Bay is in very good condition, and the only minor complaint was some spots were a little brown and dry – something we haven’t come across in months. Also the previously disgusting showers have been renovated and functioning perfect ly. Weather cooperated this day also, with breeze strong enough to affect some shots but also keeping people cool. With such favorable conditions who would have the sense and skills to take advantage of the “A” and “C” nines? The large turnout allowed for generous prize giving, and we ended up in two flights with five prizes in each, plus near pins and long putts. In the B-flight (19+) the winner was Karen Brown (36) with an impressive 40 points! Well played Karen, and keep it up! Coming second was the Silver Fox, Barry Oates (24) with 35 points, beating out Jim Ferris (20) and Barry Elphick (22) with the same total. It pays to finish strong. Rounding out B-flight was Brad Robbins (19) at 34 points. A-flight came in with impressive scores, and in the end Ted Morris (14) took the honors with 39 points. Congrats! Next was John Hackett (16) with 38, Landis Brooks (10) over Paul Sharples (14) both with 37, and finally Rob Brown (10) with 36. Well played all! Near pins: John Davis, John Hackett, Mick Coghlan, Mashi Kaneta.Long Putts: Dick Warberg, Mashi Kaneta. Where is Santa? John Anderson, Patrick Poussier and Sal Brizzi. GROWLING SWAN 22 nd Dec: Khao Kheow. Monthly Mug Stroke. We welcomed Volker Buley from Germany and Nolan Wise from Australia. A bumper field of 36 punters faced the starter who sent us on our way playing the B and C nines in that order. Patrick Poussier playing great golf in the conditions won the monthly mug shooting ninety off the rod which from his twenty three handicap equated to a nett sixty seven. In the A grade Sal Brizzi (6) continued his good form with a nett seventy one. Mike Gosden (14) handed in a seventy two whilst Kevin Waycott (9) was absolutely delighted to have a gross score of 41/42 = 83 and a nett seventy four to take third place. Don Richardson (12) was fourth with a nett seventy six. In B grade Alain Taddei (17) showed the way on nett seventy three closely followed by Mashi Kaneta (16) on seventy four. Fred Cuypers (16) and Rita Zobeli (23), both with nett seventy seven made the podium. In the C grade, John Anderson (28) handed in nett seventy two to take first place which included a no lakey five putt nine on the last hole. Nolan Wise (36) with nett seventy three and Mark Henkel (25) and Thomas Cotton (25) on seventy four rounded it out. Near pins went to Peter Bye on B3 and C8 with Rita Zobeli on B8 and John Davis C3 completing the set. Long first putts were won by Dave Fletcher on B9 and Mike Gosden on C9. 1 st Christmas Pattaya Classic Before he prepared for a very busy Christmas, Santa Claus was seen taking a last minute break and playing some golf in Pattaya. In order to raise funds for a children’s orphanage, Santa was invited by local developer Kingdom Property and Pattaya City to take part in The Ultimate Christmas Golf Tournament. Hosted by the Jack Nicklaus designed Laem Chabang International Golf Resort, players were competing in The 1st Christmas Pattaya Classic on 20th December.This unique nine hole tournament hosted by The Pattaya Golfer magazine was held on the flood lit Lakes Course designed by Jack Nicklaus with Santa Claus teeing off too. Nigel Cornick CEO at Kingdom Property added, ‘Many of us enjoy playing golf throughout the year so what better way to have some Christmas cheer at night with a tournament at this top international course, which also raised some badly needed funds for this great local orphanage.’To help launch their new magazine the Pattaya Golfer, Exact Trading the publishers and organisers of the tournament wanted a seasonal feel and apart from teeing off with Santa they also invited a 30 voice choir from the Pattaya Orphanage to sing carols. Pattaya is known for its nightlife but it also has a thriving golf industry with over 1.2 million rounds played on its 23 courses last season. In 2012 it was awarded by IGATO ‘Best Golf Destination Asia and Australasia’. Everyone in Pattaya wishes all golfers around the World a very happy New Year….Ho Ho Ho! PAGE 36 | PATTAYA PEOPLE WEEKLY ISSUE 479 | SATURDAY 3RD TO SATURDAY 10TH JANUARY 2015 PSC 139th Monthly Golf Tournament Tuesday 23rd December at Pattaya Country Club There were 137 golfers in the field with 132 participating in the Tournament and with perfect weather the scores were extremely varied with many having trouble on the greens which still need a fair bit of work done on them. With a 2 tee start and a big field it was quite a busy day and unfortunately slow play was once again predominant with Golf Chairman Mark West announcing that in future these Tournaments will reasonable drink prices. Time for the Presentations and Peter Blackburn welcomed all and introduced Golf Chairman Mark West. Mark expressed his appreciation to today’s players and those who assisted him at the course and to Dave from the Sportsman pub for the food, the PSC office staff for the pretournament work and Kit and Patti who sold the 50/50 lucky draw tickets. He also thanked Shenanigan’s for donating 2 x 1000 baht food and drink vouchers which provided 2 more be restricted to a field of 120 with a waiting list. Once again PSC departed from the usual Friday Tournament by holding it on a Tuesday which worked out well with excellent attendance and of course just a short trip back into Pattaya afterwards. Golf Chairman Mark West together with Peter Blackburn, Dick Warberg, Andre Van Dyk & Gerd Reidler arrived at the course early to prepare for the players arrival, together with the Pattaya Country Club staff who were on hand and very helpful. With A Flight playing medal off the blue tees, B, C & D Flights playing Stableford off the white tees and Seniors and Ladies playing Stableford off the silver & red tees respectively the stage was set for a good day’s golf and once more there was a count back required to determine the low gross winner on the day. Ron Birdsall & Paul Smith both carded a gross 79 and with a 38 back nine Ron took the honours with Paul having a 41 back nine. ‘A’ Flight, playing medal was won by Ken Aihara (4) who had a net 75. ‘B’ Flight playing Stableford saw Rob Browne (11) in top spot with 36 points. ‘C’ Flight was well won by Steve Ellison (18) who had a day out, scoring 42 points. ‘D’ Flight winner was Torsten Bischoff (35) with 37 points. Prajak Taylor won the Seniors/ Ladies with the best score of the day scoring 45 points. The presentation and prize giving was at Shenanigan’s in Jomtien and the good crowd in attendance were treated to an excellent feed and very prizes in the 50/50 draw. Mark also announced that the next Tournament will be the Club Championship at Khao Kheow on Tuesday 6 th and Friday 9 th January, 2015 and he urged everyone to sign up and pay their money early at PSC Office as it is a restricted field as mentioned earlier. Peter then announced the winners and Mark presented the prizes followed by the Lucky Draw and the 50/50 draw. Fierce Rivalry ONLINE AT WWW.PATTAYAPEOPLE.COM The Thai Obsession with Soccer The annual Shai Davis Soccer Tournament took place recently at Planet Football, and as in previous years the rivalry between teams was fierce. Now in its 7th year, this competition | PATTAYA PEOPLE RADIO 96 FM | PAGE 37 sees teams from local charitable organizations competing against each other. Teams from the Father Ray Children’s Home, the Pattaya Orphanage, Boys Home Banglamung and Baan Jing Jai battled it out in the afternoon heat, but it was the team from the Banglamung Boys Home which carried off the winner’s cup, beating the Pattaya Orphanage in the final. Not only did the captain of the winning team, 15 year old Somchai, lift the winner’s trophy, but he was also awarded well deserved trophies for Player of the Tournament and Top Goal Scorer. The following day 12 teams, 6 adult and 6 youth, including 3 of the teams from the previous day, gathered at the Father Ray Children’s Home to take part in the annual CH Charity Soccer Tournament. While most teams were from the local area, one team of youngsters traveled from the province of Pathum Thani, north of Bangkok to play, and were disappointed they did not play as well as they hoped. Outright winner of the youth competition was the team from Banglamung Boys Home, with the Father Ray Children’s Home, playing on home turf, coming second. Young Somchai once again lifted the winner’s trophy and also received the Player of the Tournament award, and if he keeps playing the way he has played this weekend there is a promising future ahead of him. Super Sport Star 38 National Motorcycle P r o f e s s i o n a l Championship The final round of the heavily contested Thailand 600 Super Sport National Motorcycle Professional Championship came to the very new Chang International circuit at Buriram. Local pro rider from Pattaya Ben Fortt, who has been riding the MV Agusta F3 throughout the season, rode on the track for the 1st time last weekend and needed a top 3 finish to hold on to Runners Up Pro Champion of Thailand. Ben put himself on the front row in P2 on the qualifying stages to give himself the best chances in the 12 lap race, each lap being over 4.5km long. Once the flag dropped Ben sat in 2nd place chasing the championship leader who was riding a factory supported Yamaha R6. Ben tried everything to take him but he proved too strong, but Ben held on to 2nd place to become Thailand SS1 Supersport Runner Up. The Devil MV Agusta Racing team were delighted with the great season and consistent podiums Ben had built up through the season to put the European made MV Agusta in this prestigious position. Ben remarked after the race that he has enjoyed the whole season riding this great bike and hopes to carry on next season and go one better and win the title. Ben also remarked “we are so lucky to have such a superb circuit built here in Thailand which is equal if not better than most international tracks around the world. Next March 2015 this Circuit will be hosting a round of the world superbikes and I will be working hard with MV Agusta to try to secure a wild card entry for this race. I would like to thank MV Agusta Devil Evolution CEA Projects and all others who supported me throughout the 2014 season.” ONLINE AT WWW.PATTAYAPEOPLE.COM | PATTAYA PEOPLE RADIO 96 FM | PAGE 39 PAGE 40 | PATTAYA PEOPLE WEEKLY ISSUE 355 | SATURDAY 18TH TO SATURDAY 25TH AUGUST 2012
