Hi, I have this wish as well.
I've read that the 1.4.5 version has the thumbnail feature,
but since I could not download it, and I have the 1.4 version, I have made this way.
I needed to put an image separated from the short description:
1) I modified the events and put an image in each event, in the short description, and save the events.
2) modify the code of the view template (ie location view, but could also be done in the upcoming events module)
my_site/components/com_eventbooking/views/location/tmpl/default.php
3) put the code to show the image where I wanted:
4) Optional, in the location or category template, search for the lines where "<?php echo $item->short_description ; ?>" is,
and replace with this code, in order to not repeat the image twice.
5) At last, resized the image with css, in order to make it appear as a thumbnail.
don't know if this could be useful to you,
I attach the image of the upcoming events module, with the title and the image thumbnail.

Code:
<?php
//store short description
$str = $item->short_description;
//reg expression to match image
preg_match_all ('/<img[^>]+src\s*=\s*(["\'])?([^>\s]+)\1[^>]*>/i' , $str , $matches );
//set images to null
$event_img = null;
if (is_array($matches) && !empty($matches)) {
$event_img = $matches[2][0];
}
//check if image exist
if (($event_img != null) && (strlen($event_img)>0)) {
$image_name = $event_img;
} else {
//if image does not exist, put a placeholder
$image_name = "/images/img_default.jpg";
}
//display image (or placeholder)
?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image_name; ?>" alt="" /></a></p>
4) Optional, in the location or category template, search for the lines where "<?php echo $item->short_description ; ?>" is,
and replace with this code, in order to not repeat the image twice.
Code:
<?php
//strip tags (except paragraph, anchor, etc.) from short description so that image does not show up
$new_str = strip_tags($item->short_description, '<p><a><br><div><strong><em>');
//display short description limiting to 110 characters
echo $new_str;
endif;
?>

I've posted the solution for a previous release,
now I'm posting the solution for 1.5 version.
1) open the main module file:
modules/mod_eb_events/mod_eb_events.php
on line 34 modify the query adding the thumb, this way:
change from this
to this
save and close the file.
2) open the template file:
modules/mod_eb_events/tmpl/default.php
put the thumbnail code anywhere you like it
that's all, attached is an example.

Code:
$sql = 'SELECT a.id, a.title, a.location_id, a.event_date, c.name AS location_name FROM #__eb_events AS a '

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_event&event_id='.$row->id); ?>&Itemid=<?php echo $itemId; ?>"><img src="<?php echo JURI::base().'media/com_eventbooking/images/thumbs/'.$row->thumb; ?>" /></a>
<?php
}
?>
