What is the best root? (edit - it's route!)
Thanks

Driving? Assume you are not planning on having any alcohol then?

From Springs/new Dubai take SZR and head towards Maktoum Bridge. Cross bridge and at end (clocktower roundabout) turn right. At third set of traffic lights turn right, then 2nd right into road with Irish Village/Century Village/Aviation Club.

It sure is

I'm going straight from work to reserve a table at Irish Village. We've also got some inside space reserved at the Cellar in case it's too hot to sit outside.

See you then!

Hi all you might not see this now as it's quite late - am still coming but probably won't be there til 9ish as I have to be on a conference call at 7.30.... Will be there ASAP.

As I advised BLM I was unable to make it as I was with clients until 9.00pm at the other end of town. My apologies. I understand however, that the only people that turned up were those at the last meet.

This surprises me as so many posters have said that they want the opportunity to meet people, then when something is organised, hardly anyone bothers to turn up. Frankly, I am disappointed.

Nice to have a night out for me. Good to see a few of you again, but a couple of new faces too.

Looking forward to the next one. Hey B, does someone else need to do the leg work for the next one? Anyone else thinking snow skiing?

I had a good excuse.............I was on a Emirates flight to the UK, and you know that I deffo wanted to come along

So sorry I didn't make it - my 5pm conference call was moved to 7.30pm instead, I didn't get back to my hotel til 9pm and after a 13-hour day I would have been awful company! As per my message on Friday I had every intention of coming but you know what they say about the best-laid plans.... Anyway will keep checking for the next night out and hope nothing crops up at work this time!
