There are about 5 people coming from Juffair so I hope they contact you to organise transport

Jo

The names on the list.. Are they our nicknames?

I have an excel spreadsheet. The first column are your nicknames and the second column are your real names if you have given them to me.

For any guests that are coming they are listed under their guests nickname...i.e  Josnuggles and Josnuggles (+1)

Jo, can I suggest something? Can we include both real names and nicks in the badges? So for me it would be Jack (brightonguy) and Alex (brightonguy + 1)? What do you think?

Already done

All Badges have the nickname and then underneath the real name.

They will be filled out as people arrive

I can't fill them all out in advance as I haven't been given everyone's real name

Thanks

Seeing as you are coming early to help that could be for you to do :-) lol

Yes boss.

Meh = Azher Akber

Sorry, but as per my previous posts the invite list is closed now due to the amount of people already coming.

If lots cancel then I will let you know

Hi All

When you get to the Dilmun club, go to reception and just say you are with the expat-blog meeting. They will check your name is on the list and then send you to where we are (just beyond reception). No entry fee or membership is required.

Do bring money for food and drink

No arranged transport. This is a get together and not a taxi service.

If you require transport then ask on the post, there are a few coming from Juffair

Hi Paddy

As you can see from previous posts that the invite list has to be closed due to the large number of people attending.

Sorry you have to miss this one, but hopefully there will be another one soon that you can attend

Jo

Hi Guys, I will be tonight at 9 PM in Bahrian Airport and i want to come to this meeting.How can i come to the Club from the airport and how much the Taxi cost from Airport to Club ?

I am already in list , u register me as Moo !!!

Hey Moo, sorry about that. Yes your are on my list - No52

You will probably not get through customs at the airport until 9.30pm at the earliest and won't get to the Dilly until gone 10pm at a cost of about 15 - 20BD. You must ask yourself is it worth it??

Hi All,

I have a friend who runs a taxi company. He has 2 available buses tonight which can seat 8 persons per vehicle.

His name is Ali and his number is 33987145.

He is offering a discount for all expat-blog people who are going tonight.

If you wish to arrange transport then please contact ALI directly NOT me.

Thank you

Jo

Hello Josnuggles, do not hesitate to recommend your friend into the Bahrain Business directory.

Thank you,
Aurélie
