Member update
For those
that missed last week's field trip, the feedback is that the new
'Splendours of Mesopotamia' exhibition at Manarat
Al Saadiyat is excellent - well
worth a visit (while you're there, don't forget to take advantage
of Fanr Restaurant's coffee club offer - coffee/tea
plus a selection of cakes & muffins for only 20dhs per
person
)! The next field
trip is to Dragonmart on 1 May - let Jacqueline know if
you'd like to go.
And now that the weather looks like it's finally
starting to
heat up, our next couple of coffee morning guests will tell us how we
can have fun exercising on the water and stay cool (aka wet!). See
left for more info...
