It looks as if Chaff has restarted with a bang after the summer recess.
Last Sunday was when we welcomed back many to the regular Sunday Chaff get togethers.
We had 7 cameras clicking and little Samu did a job with all except mine, which was unfortunately tucked away in my coat.
Here are pictures provided by Matti and Unnop.
We had 2 new Japanese, 3 new Findian, 3 new Finn, 2 new German and 4 visiting USA/Indian participants (14).
Our usual crowd was also great with 1 Findian, 5 Finns, 1 German, 1 Hungarian, 3 Indians, 1 Japanese, 1 Indian/USA, 4 Thais, 1 Venezulean and 1 Zambian (19).
3 Chinese, 4 Hungarians, 2 Finns, and 4 Indians who had promised to get to the meeting unfortunately could not get there.
whose help to organise this event was truly great - Thanks Kim!

Our next meeting will be on Sunday 6th August at the usual time of 13:00 hours.
The following week we will have our get together on Saturday August 12th as part of the Thai festival which is being held at the Pailin Restaurant starting at 12:00 hours. The Thai Buddhist Monk from Helsinki is especially attending this event which has the blessing of the Thai Royal Embassy, Helsinki, Finland and the Tourism Authority of Thailand located in Stockholm, Sweden.
There will be Thai danceing, Thai demo dance about kick boxing, Thai music and singing, various displays of Thai art, demonstration of Thai cooking, a special discount offer for tickets to Thailand (thanks to Finnmatkat who will have a stand at the festival), and much more.
Everyone is welcome - no entrance fee.
