On Thursday 22^nd May The Queen Vic had a visit from the Snooker Player Stephen Hendry.
 
Unfortunately, I was unwell and unable to attend, so my loving husband had to stay home and wait on me and administer a large amount of T.L.C.

Kevin Fisher and Vic represented the Charity Club and did a brilliant job for us.

Bernard Walker another supporter of the club, sent through the following notes and did a sterling job remembering it all, as he admits he had one, two or three Dandelion and Burdocks too many!

When Stephen Hendry arrived he was greeted with a big round of applause. He immediately went to the pool table and played several games with those present, including Pattaya's new Mayor, Khun Ittipol.
The pool area was packed with spectators, as indeed was the rest of the Queen Vic. Standing room only was the order of the evening with over 150 people attending. A large number were outside looking through the windows as well.

After playing pool for about forty five minutes Stephen entered the main area of the Queen Vic where he sat down signing autographs and signed a number of shirts. He was quite happy to shake as many hands as were thrust his way, and pose with people for photographs. He needed no prompting to go behind the bar area with all the staff, and Vic & Jane, of the Queen Vic to pose for a group photograph.

During the evening all Strongbow and John Smiths were reduced in price (a barrel of each had been donated by Rob of Fluid Asia Pacific for the event) and everyone who bought either of these drinks was given a raffle ticket.

Stephen left later than scheduled after spending time answering questions and meeting people. After Stephen left the raffle tickets were drawn to distribute the signed shirts.
