HAPPENINGS The Thai Food Festival - Songkran on the 18th of April, 2009 (Saturday)
The President, Bernard Kanny learning to dance
Dr. G and our Manager, Jeff also learning Songkran is
actually the Thai New Year (Chinese:
潑
水節).
Songkran is celebrated every year
from April 13 to April 15.
It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South
and Southeast
Asia. Traditionally, the
most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water. People
roam the
streets with containers of water or water guns, or post themselves at
the side
of roads with a garden hose and drench each other and passers-by. This,
however, was not always the main activity of this festival. Songkran
was
traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders, including
family
members, friends and neighbours. The Club
celebrated Songkran with much pomp and grandeur. There were many
traditional
Thai performances coupled with a fantastic spread of Thai delicacies.
The food
was sold out. The water guns
were also sold out. All the members and their family members and guests
had a
gala time drenching each other and jumping into the pool.
