If you thought you'd miss
this week's coffee morning guest, Emily Moore from www.2getthere.eu, don't worry - it was
postponed until next week! Emily will be our guest next Monday
(possibly Tue as well) talking to us about Masdar City's PRT systems (aka
the bubble cars) - should be interesting! Then the following week Maria
from P.I.C. will be
helping us with financial matters.
Don't forget to check out
what's on around town (left hand column) - this month's looking to be busy!

For those of us who have
been (impatiently) waiting for the ACE at Dalma Mall to open, it looks
like it's not going to happen, rather it's likely to be built on
Yas (from the mouth of someone working at ACE) - but where is the
question! Haven't been able to find out yet if it will be in
the new mall - which is a long way away...
