Thanks Y30

it was a pleasure as always and I'm glad it turned out well

Just so everyone knows, I'm away from next weekend and from the start of August for almost 3 weeks. I know it's Ramadan so most of you will be fasting and partying late anyway, but if someone is willing to be my deputy I'm sure you can have some socials while I'm away

Hi Mostafa, thanks for volunteering! It's simple really, just pick a time, like next friday night after iftar, and place to meet up, somewhere easy to find like the Marriott hotel garden cafe in Zamalek, and encourage people to come along. If you feel comfortable giving your number to a few people it helps make sure you'll find each other

obviously the above is just an example, you should confirm yourself when/where as suits you.
Good luck, and I hope lots of you will go out!

The Marriott in Zamalek is better than the JW as it's central, but you could organise something in Maadi if you like, there are lots of people living there

Normally my events are just social gatherings, so you don't have to 'do' anything except turn up sit, talk, listen, have a mango juice...

Just suggest a time, day and a venue. It's really simple!

The event costs nothing, it costs only the people who come. Everyone's free to order what they want.

But at least Marriot doesn"t have a Min Charge, but has higher price compared to anywhere. But You pay the place, the service.

Don't think it's something official for the Hotel. It's like an after work with your colleagues, you don't ask to book the place, you just go and see if they have the table for you, you don't give them a reason.

It's the same there, maybe you can book a table to make sure that u'll have a place to sit, otherwise, just give a date and a place to the people, everything's gonna perfect.

I really don't understand why you're so worried about this, it's really simple

As I've said before, I'm leaving Cairo during Ramadan, as is MPrier, but I would like someone to organise an event during Ramadan while I'm away. No offence, but it doesn't sound like you want to be the organiser even though you volunteered in the first place... Can someone else take the lead pleeeeease?

Hey everybody,
I have posted a new topic "Who would like to go out for Iftar next Thursday?" on the forum. I thought it would be nice to meet and eat together. If anyone has any ideas for places and prices, please post it under the new post. Hope 2 see everyone I know, that is not traveling, and hope to meet new people.

Elain, I'm just trying to follow ur lead. However, I think we'd need around 5 or 6 people at least for this event or else I don't think it would be fun. What do u suggest I do?

hey Rozypearl, yes I would make sure you have around 5 definites at least. There were quite a few new people asking about socials over the last few weeks on the forum - maybe send some of them a private message in case they haven't checked yet? Or just make sure you have a few friends coming with you just in case

Come on guys and gals, let's show some enthusiasm

What could be nicer after days of fasting than a social Iftar? Wish I could come

I agree with u, Elain. Thx for the encouragement. I don't know who were asking about socials so I won't be able to send them PM, but if u know them and could help, that would be great. However, I have decided to postpone the event till Thursday, August 11th, to get more people. Will post the final decision regarding the restaurant and the price soon. Wish u could join us. Take Care and come back safely. Will miss u!

Hi again folks, it's been a while

Sorry for the long break but I've been in the UK a lot lately, and returning again this weekend for a few days!

Rania did a great job of organising socials while I was away

so I feel it's time I did my bit now I'm back in Cairo, so I propose a social. How about we start off with something chilled out and easy to organise, at one of my favourite places...

- Friday 23rd September from 7.30pm.
- Meet at the palace garden cafe at the Marriott hotel in Zamalek.
- Head straight through the main reception and down the stairs to the outside area. I'll sit near the doors somewhere, on the right if I can.
- For anyone who doesn't know where it is, it's 16 Saray El Gezira Street, Zamalek, just off 26th July street. Click for official website
- For those who want to eat:

Can't wait to see everyone again, and I hope lots of new people will come

My schedule is a little packed as I'm signing up to an Arabic course (finally) so that's 3 days a week gone

I hope Friday is ok for most people.

Hey Elain, welcome back to Cairo. Hope all went well in UK and hope to see u soon. We're really happy to have our organiser back, as I've been very busy with work and I don't think I'll have so much time to organise many events but I know u'll do that for us. I've also had neck problems and I can't use the comp much so I log on here and to other sites and facebook every few days till I get better.

Missed u
