BBQ at mermaids Jomtien

This month’s BBQ took place the day after Valentine’s Day on Sunday 15th February. So to top off all of those expensive meals that were eaten the night before, we decided to change the food slightly this month by adding some more salads and variety. Rich surprised us all and introduced to Mermaids his special Potato Salad.

This was demolished within minutes and was nominated the best thing since sliced bread. Thanks Rich, who after peeling potatoes and slaving over a hot stove for hours eventually sat down and enjoyed the rest of the evening being complimented on his creation.

Again a warm welcome was given to our new students joining us in the 1st half of February. South African Mark Thomas and Cassie Upton, Adam “Ozzy” Drew and on his 3rd Mermaids visit the “Urban Legend “ Euan Hazeldine who is returning to do his MSDT.

This BBQ saw quite a few of our day divers joining us on the evening. Certainly news of our special burgers and sausages is starting to spread.

Thanks as always to Vlad for spending hours cooking and as being neglected in terms of refreshments and of course to everyone else for shopping, preparing and making the food.

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.

By popular demand, Rich will be very busy making his potato salad for the next BBQ on Wednesday 11th March 2009.
