The Pattaya Mail in conjunction with
the Royal Varuna Yacht Club and the Royal Cliff Beach Resort
will be once again organise one of the most spectacular sporting
events on the Eastern Seaboard, to recognise and honour Peter
Cummins, former Commodore of the Royal Varuna Yacht Club, who
has done so much to promote sailing in Pattaya and in the
Kingdom.
Ode to the Royal Varuna
Commodores
Famous for many years as a paradise of water
sports and marine-related pursuits, Pattaya benefits enormously
from this event which this year will attract an even greater
number of sportsmen and women, with more than one hundred
sailors from 15 countries participating in what must be regarded
as one of the most colourful and environmentally friendly
activities for all the family. The regatta has the support of
the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Office of the Governor of
Chonburi and Pattaya City.
Last year’s event attracted hundreds of
spectators and extensive press and TV coverage, many lining the
Royal Cliff Beach Resort water-front to see, close-hand, the
yachts in action. This year all of the action takes place in the
bay immediately in front of the Royal Varuna Yacht Club with one
of the rounding marks at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort foreshore.
But it is not just colour and action. It is
also the extensive press and media coverage, which the Regatta
attracts and which presents a most positive side of Pattaya to
the world at large. Extensive coverage of the pre-race
preparations and the race day itself is guaranteed by the
Pattaya Mail, Pattaya Blatt, Pattaya Mail Plus TV and Capital TV
with our international team of journalists including Peter
Cummins, Thailand’s most internationally recognised sailing
correspondent. Other national and international press will also
cover and spread news of the event to a worldwide audience.
But the most noble cause of this year’s event is that the
proceeds from your sponsorship will be donated to worthy charity
projects in our community serviced by the Rotary Club of
Jomtien-Pattaya which include scholarships for children,
assisting residents at the Banglamung Home for the Aged,
Preserving the Environment, Happiness from Teachers to Students
and other worthwhile projects to alleviate the suffering and
needs of the underprivileged in our community.
The prizes presentations
& celebrations will be held at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort
the same evening. Throughout the years, this party has been the
talk of the town. A fabulous array of splendid food and drinks
awaits our guests and we assure you that it will be a night to
remember. We plan the festivities to be entertaining and at the
same time to create goodwill, the results of which will bring
much relief to those whom we have indicated as recipients of
your kind sponsorship. We welcome members of the community to
attend this gala affair.
