LBWVB 2015 is over and it did not rain.
Winners were Blue Dolphins - TJs Music Bar - Soi 18, Naklua
Runner Up Purple People Eaters - Kings Bar - Soi 8, Pattaya
3rd Place - Red Dragons - Check In Bar - Soi 7 Sukhummvit, Bangkok
4th Place - Pink Panthers - independent team
5th Place - Yellow Canaries - Cockatoo - Soi Cowboy, Bangkok
What a fun packed day. The day started with grey sky and a chance of rain.
The hospitality tents were erected and provided extra cover for everyone.
Fortunately after some early drizzle the rain went away.
Teams started to arrive about 12.00 and quickly got changed.
Suddenly the whole pool area was a blaze of colour. Red, Purple, Blue, Yellow and Pink.
Rotary Club provided registration and ticket duty.
The professional photographers took team photos and match play started on time at 1.30pm.
The DJ, with the referees, managed to keep the whole event on schedule.
The matches were played 'round robin'. Each team paying every other team.
Each round was made up of 2 matches of about 15 minutes each with a rest break between rounds.
Team managers supplemented the 2 experienced referees as line judges.
Each manager was a line judge for the round that their team was not playing.
A number of volunteers helped out with line judge duty.
There was a new visible score card system in place so all spectators could see the score.
Quality of play has greatly improved.
The Final result was that TJs won all 4 of their matches.
Kings Bar won 3 of their 4, Check In won 2, Pink Panthers won 1 and Cockatoo 0
The Cheerleaders were a fun filled crazy addition with drums, air horns and incredible costumes.
Three teams excelled with their cheerleaders.
Best squad was easily won by Check In bar followed by Kings bar and TJs
As usual the Areca Lodge do a great job - the pool area was transformed.
The tents were illuminated and everyone was under cover in case of rain.
The evening buffet started a little bit late which rushed the FREE raffle of 19 prizes.
The raffle was followed by the Orphanage Oratorio, from Pattaya Orphanage, singing "You Raise me Up".
The Orphanage encourages the children to sing songs in English to help with learning English.
Our professional Auctioneer took over and the 9 freely donated items were auctioned for 29,200 Baht
The children returned to sing and dance to "Thank you Very Much".
The children have been rehearsing this for more than 3 months and were brilliant.
Next was the presentations of the three cheques for 250,000 each to the 3 charities who all attended.
Mr Gordon Niven of NB Surveys, our largest company sponsor, presented to K. Sununta, of Baan Gerda.
Mr Gordon Niven also presented to Father Michael of Pattaya Orphanage.
Mr Rod Charmers, of Rotary Club, presented to Catherine Riley-Bryan of Bamboo school.
The children did a reprise of "Thank you Very Much".
Finally it was time to reward all the teams.
Prizes of gifts (Mary Kay cosmetics & Victoria Secrets bikinis plus cash) were presented by the very beautiful Miss Mimosa.
The last prize was to the Check In cheerleader squad of 6 (Cosmetics and cash)
The evening ended about 10pm with ' We are the Champions'.
Some attendees, including Kings bar team, visited TJs to celebrate with the winning team.
One attendee has also reserved a ticket for next year.
Huge thanks to everyone for their positive support and generosity.
Hopefully photos to follow soon.
