Hey Elain, great job with yesterday's outing. Heard it was a lot of fun. Hope to join next time. I have posted the idea we talked about for the outing next Friday on my thread. This is what I posted:

For the next outing on Friday 30th of September, I suggest doing something during the day, we could watch a movie at Galaxy Cinema (in Manial) at 1:00pm (movies cost half price, 15LE and 20LE for 3D movies)

Then, we can have some lunch in any nice restaurant by the nile or in Mohandeseen. There is "Quay" which is just by the nile on the opposite side of Galaxy Cinema. It has beautiful food, drinks and shisha (minimum charge of 60L.E. before 6:00pm and 100LE after 6:00pm). If that is expensive, we can go to Roastry Coffee or Tuscanni in Mohandeseen (both closed with no minimum or shisha). They also serve lovely food and drinks. Prices are reasonable.

We would have to reserve places in these restaurants so plz confirm here if u r interested. If u have any other ideas for restaurants, plz post them.

We can also go to any coffee shop afterwords, if u'd all like that.

eltviola

Sounds great Rania, I'll be there :) I don't mind which cafe we go to :D

Lonya

Hey all

I would love to come for lunch onwards im not sure about the cinema before hand so if it goes ahead il be happy to catch up with everyone after that!

don moe

Am in :)

Boat trip
OK guys and gals :D We have reserved a boat for 6th October holiday at Ain Sokhna which holds up to 30 people!! Please please please bring a friend along if you can, the more people we have the cheaper it will be and the more fun! ;)

The boat cost LE 3500 in total, so you can do the maths - over 20 people is a must, 25 or 30 would be great to bring the cost per person down to more like 130LE each :) I'll call round as many of my friends as I can to get numbers up, but your help would be really appreciated :)

We can confirm exact time and who's driving whom in the next few days, once we have a better idea of who's coming. In the mean time if those who are offering to drive could post on here:
Driving from where in Cairo?:
Number of Spare seats?:
Any Preferences for Passengers (smokers/non-smokers/male/female/don't care)?:

If you're coming, please PM me your mobile number if you don't have mine, and I'll send mine back to you :) we have 14 confirmed people so far so a good sized group :D

Thanks, I know this will be great fun ;)

Awesome I'm definitely looking that up, thanks!

Ok so socials have stopped for a while but we can get back on track now I'm back to kick you guys into gear ;) Little bit egotistical perhaps... :p anyway it's great to be back after almost a month away :)

How about I organise a meetup for this Friday night (or during the day)? Any suggestions? If no-one has any ideas I'll just pick something random to try as usual :D

Elaine

This is an old outing... check the date! :)

Coffee meeting in Maadi this Friday anyone? I appreciate we should stay away from Tahrir as it'll be really busy most likely :D I don't plan to demonstrate :p Sadly I'm busy on Thursday and Saturday so Friday is my only option, hope some ppl can make it!

Why not in Heliopolis?

eltviola

AMostafa - There are hardly any decent places to go out in Heliopolis that I know of, that are open late and aren't smoky... I live there and I rarely go out there for socials, although it'd be convenient for me! :D But many people come from Mohandessin/Giza so it's a long way to come :)

But perhaps next time ;) Do you know any good places in Heliopolis?

Mohab Sobeih

Agree with u eltviola

eltviola

OK so the next social will be this Friday 18th November, 8pm at TGI Friday's on Maadi Corniche (click link for more info)

Anyone is welcome, but please let me know here if you're coming to give me an idea of numbers :)
Thanks,

Elaine
