THE NEXT DUBAI FORUM MEETING


fayz
Sorry i just saw this post, Intimacy and I, as well as many others worked together to plan the last one. You can find our thread here for reference.
&highlight=fayz
At the end of the day if two people meet it is a success, good on you for trying. The 'tude you have been getting from some senior members isn't called for. There are many good people here and I’m sure some are very appreciative of your efforts.
Wafaey [color=red]Due to General requests the meeting will be some time next month.[/color] Wafaey Since no one have taken this step, I decided to take it When and Where do you guys want to meet ? Everyone is invited and you can bring whomever you want :D Palkid7 count me in ! Torvalds Do you have an idea of the possible turn-out of people? Who has experience in organizing such an event? Jupiter Nice...!. hey Wafaey.. when did you come to dubai.? uaeaussie Hey Torvalds I dont think it is like organising something like the Robbie williams concert only a couple of dozen people Torvalds Of course. But my question is still relevant to the matter at hand. We need to prep some figures in order to know which place to hold it. uaeaussie Torvalds by the off chance do you work for an events company :?: :?: :?: arniegang Waf Not wishing to be a damp squid here, but you are not in dxb yet. The last meet involved a fair amount of work and the guys who organised it did a fantasic job which was appreciated by everyone who went. It may be better at this point to see who is willing to organise the event, then discuss the where/when.

Torvalds No. Why do you ask? If you're going to ask me to organise the next forum meeting...I'm not the one to look for. I'm just here to help get the subject to fly. I'm interested to join. Wafaey
I know I'm not there yet but I expect it to take a couple of weeks to find out who is coming and when and where we will do it.
So how was the last meeting organized ?! Any volunteers for the next one ?!! fayz First off, thanks for taking the strings, secondly I’ll be glad to help in anyway I can. Just throwing a thought out there. but maybe we can do a go-carting thing. They have like a corp. package at the autodrome, if you get at least 10 people, you get the track to yourselves, I think it is like AED 250/person for 3 races. Everyone on this board thinks they’re the only good driver out there and since 90% of Dubai are bad, some of us have to fall into the latter. I thought this may be a fun way to release some stress. arniegang also go cart track at Jebel ali beach Wafaey great idea Fayz anyone with another Idea :?: Arnie how was the turnout in the last time and what were the weakness in your opnion After I gather a couple of ideas and dates I'll setup a poll to choose which one we go for, always open for suggestions :) Liban
I am a wonderful driver...
I do 200kph on SZR, 120 on Jumeirah beach, and donuts on the main entrance to the Ruler's Palace and people cheer me on in awe... 8)
Oh shoot, here comes CID, gotta run!!! Wafaey

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...................... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
You should hear me laughing hysterically to myself........getting funny looks now :toothy5: :toothy5: :toothy5: Liban
Oh yeah... Big time!!! :lol: nacdxb How abt meeting @ Jazz Fest ...April 27th
HP 250 AED = 5000 Indian and Paki rupees ( yahoo currency converter). Its lot of money brother. Lets all go for Bachelor party at the home of Liban :wink: yshimy Guys,
What about BBQ (liban original idea to be done at his block) But do it on the beach?
I've been to Jabal Ali beach and there are stands there that you can use for BBQ, and as the charcole will be burning anyway, a couple of shishas.
:D
Cheers
Lets do it before the heat kicks in.
[/list] Nucleus
I like the idea XRW-147
Y, its Jebel not Jabal.
-This is dedicated to choccolicious- Torvalds So, anyone got anymore suggestions? I like the idea of doing a BBQ party in Jebel Ali beach unless something better comes up. uaeaussie What about at night at a good resturant uaeaussie Frfiday nights are good or any night really yshimy
MAN, Funny that a non arabian man correcting my Arabic.
But anyway, it is different dialect (please correct my spelling). :D
Thanks anyway XJAWEKGYD 12345567
Cheers mate Wafaey ok guys this Saturday is the last day for place suggestions. So if you have any more throw them in. Then I'll post a poll to choose which place we will hold it in. Cheers mates :D XRW-147
No worries sushi. Torvalds I know its a far-fetched idea, you can say that I might be dreaming but its an idea we ought to explore until we prove ourselves wrong. Can we consider Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. I don't have any idea of the cost, it might be too high but if someone can tell us how much is the cost of renting one of the function rooms, that will decide if its a viable option. Or if there is another way we can get a group rate discount or something. Anyway, were only going to have dinner or so, not a full night stay in the hotel. Its not like Burj Al Arab entrance fee of 200 dhs. The entrance is free according to my colleages. All we need to worry about is the cost of the food. Open buffet is 160dhs(just got this information as I type this message). If anyone has more information, just send your reply to this topic. It's an amazing place, at least from the photos I've seen so far. I know they are color-corrected, hi-definition photos but you can tell me if choosing this place is out of the question. I will show you the photos I'm talking about. It's like living in an "Arabian Dream". XRW-147 I remember the consensus at the last meetup was to try to do something more participative this time round, like paintball, bowling, karting, etc. Dinner together is nice but considering the member base and transport needs - remembering not everyone has access to a vehicle, personally I think Abu Dhabi is not quite a viable option. Torvalds Vehicle, you can say that. You're right about that but let's see what others have to say. If they really want to go. They will find a way to go. Dubai Knight Think it might have to be a Dubai venue boys... If we want a nice quiet out of town venue, I can get discount rates at the Barracuda Beach club in Umm Al Quwain. They have beach chalets with bbq's and stuff and suites arranged around a pool. Can't reccomend the beach though as it smells! Bar is great, food good and there is always the chance, for those that need to, to stock up on booze at the hole in the wall...which is like a hypermarket these days! Next door is Dreamland Aqua Park, like a smaller version of Wild Wadi, there is the shooting club and for the daring amongst us...the UAQ Aeroclub for skydiving! Failing that any bar in town, or the Jebel Ali Beach is my choice! :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight arniegang I am going to be a party pooper this time. IMHO it definately needs to be an evening meeting like the last one. I think people here have to consider those with kids and whether they want them to meet up with other forumers. People who work may just want some quality time with their families. Also many on here have different days off, so it could exclude some. The meeting last time was at Marina Walk. Why not just do the same again and have a good social there. Dubai Knight
That's cos you live upstairs! Wheelchair broken again mate?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Knight GAB
Well, the last conversation I remember centred around brazillian waxing. Now organising a group discount for that I'd like to see!! :shock: arniegang I have Gabs zimmer to lean on, and us old folk look out for each other. :lol: :lol: Torvalds I like to know the number of members who came to the last forum meeting. Do you think the no. of people will increase a great deal? arniegang The way it is being organised at the moment NO XRW-147 Gabs, u were still suffering from 'food through straw' disorder last round, not to mention co-entertaining old man party pooper on the phone. arniegang :lol: :lol: :lol: I was there in mind and soul Just the knackered body was missing :lol: :lol: :lol: Liban I doubt I will attend this one because because up to now its been too impractical and/or the venue just sux. arniegang I propose we ask Yshimy n co to organise it. XRW-147
Ditto.
And those who attended the last one pretty much have each other's contact details already so we can always do something offline. arniegang I agree X some of us have private forumers meetings :wink: :wink: XRW-147
FYI, 3 is a crowd where whips and chains are concerned. GAB
Don't mince words Liban-tell us how you really feel?? :lol: :lol: Liban
I feel a dark hole exists in respect the next DF meet. A craving by fellow members to have a meeting yet this craving resides in a cloud of confusion.
I feel a swell of tears but at the same time my eyes are dry. It is like a cold winters wind in a field of "dry" snow.
Where we are today is at a crossroads. If we go forward then there shall be a meet, however which way is forward?
Yes, I truely have little to do at work today... :lol: arniegang For you information the last meeting was not that long ago. As a consequence some of us have met up. Torvalds
Yeah right!! That's the spirit. So, if you have the contact nos. of those who came the last time. You don't need to join the next one, right? So, this to say only the new members can do whatever it is they want to do. uaeaussie Looks like no meet up soon GAB Liban you have been reading too many trashy novels........or 7 Days. Torvalds Then why are we talking if some of us here are not interested? Why would you even drum-up interest with all the people posting their replies. By implication, this string came this far for nothing? XRW-147
Someone is feeling overly poetic today. GAB He's getting in touch with his feminine side. :lol: I am all up for a meet in the next month or two preferably on a Thursday night at a public place. Also I suggest that when a date is decided that we stick to pm's. This month is a hassle-Easter/school holidays etc for me so I wouldn't be interested at the mo. XRW-147
Don't get us wrong, we were interested but how far this thing has come, or rather, hasn't is what we're 'implying'.
If you check out the last thread (theres 2 of them) things pretty much went the same path until one person actually stepped up to the plate and said "right, this is where we meet, now lets decide the when, and who ever turns up, turns up". Sounds easy eh? Goodluck. Torvalds Stop dodging arrows and face the situation. XRW-147 Whats the situation? U need someone to hold your hand? GAB Ooooooooh not at work are we and really in a foul mood! Torvalds No. I just said face it. Not struggle in it. XRW-147
Gabsy wabsy, though u would have known wittle ol me by now ;) XRW-147
Like I said, unless someone has the time and patience (which I for one, don't) to take this under their wing and make it happen, its going to flop. That's reality. arniegang actually X i agree with Gabs, you do seem a trite tetchy today :lol: :lol: arniegang and oi X Get yer own pet name for Gabs - i have the copyright for my Gabsy Wabsy. If you refuse or continue i will rename her Gabsy Wabsy Bunnykins :lol: :lol: XRW-147 Since Liban is taking a holiday in Poetic land I thought I'll assume his persona for awhile. Quite fun actually :twisted: arniegang
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
:lol: :lol: XRW-147
Did u just edit ur post? I could have sworn when I pressed the quote button there was less above there :P
Anyways, u can shelve that copyright up there with the ones for the light bulb and telephone line... gramps ;) Liban I am just fluttering my wings... Fingers more so... :) AFG Although we have forumers from different walks of life - forumers who can be blunt, rude, mean...nobody seems to have simply stated a core reason why many of us forumers have not really shown interest. I'll try and be diplomatic, can someone else who people will bother to listen to - start a new thread with more substance. Liban
What is wrong with Wafaey? What did he do that people will ignore him and not be receptive to him??? :shock: HP If Eastern Jewel come with any guy then it would really bad. All of ya guys must curse her :oops: Wafaey Arnie can u please tell me who orgnaized the last meeting and give me more details about it.
