Bahrain flight details

November 9th, 2009

We’ve finalized details of the flights to and from Bahrain on the 19th and 21st of November:

Gulf Air
Option 1
GF 545 19 NOVEMBER ABU DHABI – BAHRAIN 1840 / 1850
GF 544 21 NOVEMBER BAHRAIN – ABU DHABI 1540 / 1750.

Our apologies for the early departure time on both the Thursday and Saturday but these were the only flights available that could accommodate our large numbers travelling this year.

I appreciate most of you work late on Thursdays so this is ample warning that you may need to organize for yourself to get off work early on the above day/date.

As the numbers checking in will be quite large (we have 72 travelling on this flight at present) I would advise everyone to be at the airport for no later than 4:30/4.40 pm on the 19th.

Once at the airport it will be a case of going up to the check in counter yourselves and checking in individually – you don’t have to wait for everyone to check in together.

Further e-mails will follow later this week and early next week but for now if you have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact me at declan.madden@hct.ac.ae.

I still need payment from some so could you please have it for me at training Wednesday night.

Training Friday 6th Nov

November 5th, 2009

We will be having some training matches tomorrow in preparation for our games with Dubai next weekend and for the Bahrain Tournament on the 20th Nov.

The sessions will take place at Zayed Sports City Stadium at the following times: -
10:00 – 11:00 am – Girl’s session.
11:00 – 12:00 pm – Guy’s session.

If you are coming from the city drive out along Airport Road (2nd Street) until you come to the set of traffic lights just past Carrefour. Turn right at these lights and you’ll see a roundabout in front of you.

Take the left turn off the roundabout and follow the signs for the Bowling Centre.

When you get inside the gates look for Pitch 3.

It is important that as many of you as possible attend in order to make these sessions worthwhile – if only a few turn up it will be a complete waste of time to be honest – so looking forward to seeing you all down training tomorrow morning.

Declan.

October 22nd, 2009

Dear All

England v Brazil Sat Nov 14th in Doha.

At the moment am costing a chartered aircraft plus Tickets plus ground transport for the match.

Approx flight times would be 15:00 and back in AUH around 12: 30

At the moment to fly it involves an overnight stay wth ticket prices
around Dhs 1,100 return plus accomodation and tickets.

The cost for our trip will be between Dhs 1500 – Dhs 2000 (Price for Match tickets in Doha are not available yet)

We need min 100 pax to make this work.

If you are DEFINITELY interested please email englandvbrazil@gmail.com with your contact details and any questions.

If and when we get the numbers (First come first served) confirmed times and payment details will be forthcoming.

Could be a jolly of classic proportions. And please pass this on to as many lads (Or lasses) as possible.

If we haven’t got enough people by Nov 3rd I’ll knock it on the head.

cheers

Mike Greaves
