\r\nDear All,
\r\n\r\nWe have opened registration for two events - (1) next month�s OnAir Day, details below and (2) we would like to ascertain interest to play in a Ryder Cup style 2-day team event against British Airways in early February. Details of this second one is shown in the event details but in summary it is on the 7th and 8th of February at the Arabian Ranches at an estimated cost of Dhs 750 (for non-Members of the Ranches), which includes both rounds.
\r\n\r\nThe event details for the first of the OnAir Days are as indicated below:
\r\n\r\nDate: Friday, 6th December
\r\nTime: 0730
\r\nVenue: Earth, JGE
\r\nCost: Dhs 200 for Members; (Dhs 400 for Guests)
Registration to the event is on a first-come, first-served basis, though EGS Members will always have priority over Guests. Furthermore, Emirates Group staff will have priority over Associate Members if an event is oversubscribed.
\r\n\r\nPlease note, the usual conditions apply (i.e. �no-shows� and cancellations once registration is closed will be charged a penalty of Dhs 300 irrespective of reason and/or whether we can fill your slot with a reserve - Society Members are responsible for their guests in this instance also).

The Airbus Day proved as popular as ever with a record number of people attending both the golf and the family BBQ in the evening and as usual there was plenty to play for during the day!
The Airbus event consisted of an individual stableford together with a “blind” pairs event - teams of two were randomly chosen at the prize giving. This year, the winner of the individual stableford and overall Airbus Champion was Ultan Kenny with 40 points. It was a closely fought battle though as Amaldev Abraham scored 39 (2nd), followed by Airbus’ Kevin Partridge on 38 points (3rd).
The blind pairs was won by Paul King and Roger Duthie who had a combined score of 75 points. Ultan Kenny and Kerry Ross were a close second with 74 points, two ahead of the team consisting of Dylan Mustard and Mazen Qursha (72 points). Fourth was won by Stephen Holl and Bernard Heng on 70 points.
Nearest-the-pins were won by Simon Chaffey (2nd), Bernard Heng (7th), Rosslee Wahid (12th) and Steve Allen (17th).
A big thank-you, again, goes to Airbus for providing another fantastic event - we look forward to next year!

Erwan Testard retained the EKFC Club Championship trophy after a battling 77 (30 points) at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht on Saturday. It was a great match with both Frank Bishop (29 points) and Paul Nightingale (28 points) giving him stiff competition. A solid par 4 on the tricky 18th sealed the victory for Erwan.
In the net divison, a great score of 41 points by Andrew Walters significantly beat his nearest competitors, Craig McBride (3rd) and Ben Wilkins (2nd on count-back).
Nearest-the-pins were won by: Paul Nightingale (5th), Dylan Mustard (8th), Craig McBride (14th) and Frank Bishop (16th).
