After so much recent attention in the media about the toppling of Presidents by rebellious and disgruntled citizenry, it’s comforting to know at least one hasn’t been pushed off the perch under such fiery circumstances.
At the most recent club AGM, Vaughan McClear stepped down as President of the Southerners Sports Club after several years of sterling service. During his time as President, Vaughan led the club to financial and sporting success, ensuring each section was supported on and off the field. Vaughan typifies the true spirit of being a Southerner, and thankfully, he is only reeling back his responsibilities, still being involved as Club Treasurer and Cricket Representative. Big Daddy Vaughan will no doubt now have more time to work on his young fella’s cover drive!! Thanks to Vaughan for all he has done for the club as President.
Dana Piggott was subsequently elected as the Southerners’ first ever female President, following in the high-heeled footsteps of Lithuania’s Dalia Grybauskaite, Germany’s Angela Merkel and Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff. As a matter of immediate importance, Dee announced a number of key social events this year, including the Southerners Race Day, Khao San Road Tour and Southerners Ball (19 Nov), as well as club-wide drinks on the first Friday of every month.

A select group of Southerners Bangkok rugby luminaries are doing their bit for Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health research, raising funds for the Movember charity and slapping a filthy slug down onto their top lip. By all reports, wives and girlfriends are naturally loving it.
