Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:22:17 -0600 http://www.bct-th.org/Article148.html Due to the floods and schools and business closure in Bangkok during this week, we have decided to postpone this week's planned BCT Club Night. Depending on the situation in the city the club night is now confirmed for Thursday 10th November at the British Club (Silom Soi 18) for 7.30pm. Please email stevofry@yahoo.com if you still plan to attend on this new date, Apologies for any inconvenience Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:03:15 -0500 http://www.bct-th.org/Article147.html Dear BCT Members and Friends, We hope that you are surviving the floods and that you have not suffered too much damage. We understand many of you have left the city for the duration so we are uncertain as to whether to hold our "Nonsense with Nunsense Revisited" club night this Thursday, November 3rd at The British Club at 7:30. Silom road is still dry as are all access points near there so it would be easy to hold the event and the British Club is happy to have us. Plus those who have stayed in the city working, volunteering, etc may well be in need of a light distraction and "Nonsense with Nunsense" will be a great night out! However, with so many of you away, we are not sure who will attend! So..... We are asking for confirmed numbers by 8pm tomorrow, Tuesday evening, November 1st. If we have at least 5 confirmed attendees, we will go ahead with the event. If not, we will postpone until the floods have subsided. Please send your confirmation to Steven Fry As a token effort towards supporting the flood relief effort, we will waive the non-member fee for the evening and kindly ask you to donate that money to local flood relief efforts: Thai Red Cross and Soi Dog Rescue are two good organizations if you need a suggestion. Thank you and we hope to see you on Thursday!
