Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive 2014 – Sponsored by Glencore International and Canadian Jackalope Open
With only 10 days left till our fair on Sunday, September 7th, we have started the final countdown.
Despite the fact that we have put on 16 children fairs prior to this, each successive one is still a learning curve. Last year we were more anxious than usual simply due to Regents International School Pattaya being a new venue and requiring a new stage/stall layout.
However, given their roomy grounds, great amenities, easy access and ample parking, it proved to be an ideal site. The cooperation from the faculty and students was an extra perk, which contributed significantly to the success of the event.
Jesters Children’s Fair Stallholders’ meeting is on Monday, September 1st
There will be a stallholders’ meeting at Jameson’s Irish Pub located at the Nova Park Hotel on Soi 4 off Pattaya 2nd Road in Central Pattaya on Monday September 1st at 7 p.m. Our fair site coordinator, Bill, will disseminate information about the fair, the do’s and don’ts and answer your questions. Also, if you have not paid for your stall(s) by this time, you will be able to do so then.
Children watch the stage entertainment at last year’s event.
Below is an outline of the points that will be covered:
1. Location: The Regents International School Pattaya (RISP) is on Hwy 36 next to the Banglamung (Pattaya) Motor Vehicle Registry, where Thai driver licenses are also available.

4. Traffic in the Oval: Will be one way in clockwise direction with parking on the inner side (right hand) so traffic can flow on the outer (left side). Please remember that NO vehicles are allowed on the grass whatsoever. In general, we want to protect the grass as much as possible.
5. Parking: During the event, parking will be available mostly on both sides of the school. Since the Motor Vehicle Registry Office is closed on the weekend, there will be additional parking along the public road there. Please heed the directives of the school’s security and parking attendants.
