We would also like to highlight that subscriptions are now due - these remain at an inflation-free Dhs 250! I don’t think we need to point out what amazing value this contribution provides and pays for itself normally in just one event. We don’t like chasing so could you please seek out either our Captain (Steve Allen) or Paul Nightingale who will both be in attendance on Saturday.

Event details are as indicated below:

Date: Saturday, 17th May
Time: 1255 onwards (10 minute intervals)
Venue: The Els Club

See you there!
