BBQ at Mermaids Jomtien

After getting over the December BBQ, Christmas and the New Year season, Mermaids kicked off their first BBQ in 2009 on Thursday 15th January.

As always preparations were underway that afternoon, with salads being made and arrangements for the evening. Vlad our “master chef” started the BBQ off at 5.00pm and the smell of sausages and burgers cooking soon drew in the crowd of hungry divers who had been out on the boats during the day.

The Mermaids monthly BBQ is a great place for everyone to relax and chat and also for new students joining us for their training programs. The BBQ gives them an opportunity to meet everyone and join in the fun. For this BBQ there were old and new faces arriving in January. A warm Mermaids welcome to Evan Smith, Jessi Kingan, Matt Povey, Josh Childress and Naomi Trepanier. Welcome back to Adam Goodier and Wayne McKelvey who rejoined us to do their IDC’s. As always plenty of food was eaten and lots of fun was had by all on the evening.

The Mermaids BBQ is also open to all divers/snorkelers and prospective divers that would like to join us and meet new people and discuss diving or even non diving topics. Please feel free to come along and join in the fun.

The dates for the rest of the year are advertised here on the website and Mermaids provide the food so all you need to do is bring some refreshments with you. The BBQ takes place at our main operations center located near the Hanuman Statue (Golden Statue) in Jomtien.

Many thanks to Vlad, Jan, Malai, Kaew and countless others who helped make all the food and prepare for the evening.

The next Mermaids BBQ will be on Sunday 15th February 2009 at 6.00pm.
