BBQ at Mermaids Jomtien

The Mermaids March BBQ was a huge hit again with countless sausages, burgers and food being eaten. We started this one slightly earlier than normal and everyone gathered outside Mermaids Jomtien at 5pm to start the evening’s festivities.

Normally held on the 15th of every month, this BBQ was changed to Wednesday 11th March to give the Selby Sub Aqua club who were diving with us for a week the chance to experience a typical night’s entertainment - Mermaids style. A warm welcome to the guys who included Barry “the boss”, Frank, Sharon, Ryan, Rachel, Ian and his lovely tanned wife, George, Steve, Matthew and John.

Joining us for their first but not last Mermaids BBQ were our new students Andy “H2o” Hawthorne, Richard Linney, Ben Levy, Robbie and a slight tired Mariusz Ellward (who had just arrived the day before) Welcome to Mermaids guys.

Diving in general was the topic of conversation throughout the night but as always something has to stand out! The all time record has been set for the person who can eat the most at one BBQ - 7 sausages and 3 burgers!!! We have random reports of who the mysterious person is but will they own up? Is this a phantom BBQ eater who lives nearby? We are monitoring the lead on the boat as surely a weight belt is going to increase slightly!

Many thanks to the BBQmeister – Vlad, you were outstanding as usual. For making the salads and food, thanks to Malai, Jan, Rich, London and all the other people for helping – you know who you are!
Which leaves us with the following questions we hope will be answered before our next “Songkran Special BBQ” on the 15th April. Will the mysterious BBQ eater own up? Will the record be beaten?
