Events
The International Riding School at Horseshoe Point
is hosting the 2005 FEI World Jumping Challenge on Friday, August 5 to
Sunday August 7. The opening ceremony is on August 5 from 4.30 p.m. with show
jumping classes to follow. The competition continues on August 6 at 8 a.m.
with dressage classes, and at 1 p.m., the show jumping carries on throughout
the afternoon and all day on Sunday August 7. Everyone is welcome to watch.
There will be a Celebration of the Eucharist
according to the English Rite on Sunday August 7 at 3 p.m. at the
Redemptorist Center on Sukhumvit Road. This will be a celebration of the Feast
of the Transfiguration (August 6). It is hoped that regular (if not weekly)
“Church of England/Anglican/Episcopalian” services and celebrations will
be held in the future. All communicant members of the Christian Faith are
invited to attend and take part in this service. Thor Halland and the Revd.
Fr. Allan Sherratt have, over the last few months, been in discussion with
members of the expat community in Pattaya about the lack of religious
facilities of the “higher” Anglican variety. Where there are churches and
meeting places for the Roman Catholic and Evangelical Christians there is a
definite lack of facilities for worship and pastoral care of the Anglican
Christians, so it was with great pleasure that Thor’s request to the
Redemptorist Center to use their chapel were greeted favorably.
AustCham will host an Eastern Seaboard Sundowners
on Friday August 19. The sundowner coincides with a chamber visit to GM Plant
Site the same day. The evening event will be held at the Amari Orchid
Resort, Pattaya and is 300 baht members, 750 baht non-members. For more
details and to book this event through: http://www.austchamthailand.com
