Hello All, I arrived in Jeddah last week and looking to see if there is anything happening in the Expat Community this Friday (9th Oct). Thanks for reading. Cheers.....Phil

Check out with British Community Library which is in British Consulate, near rhe Bilad Hotel. This is a better library than many municipal libraries in the UK, and a useful contact point. The other place I recommend is The Italian Club in Baghdadiyah. Open to Italians and other EU nationalities. Great if you do not live on a compound. Good sports and social facilities.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply and information. Most grateful.

Drop me a PM if you want and I'll give you a few pointers.
Italian is ok, but tiny drinks measures from a very stingy Eritrean bar tender. Place of last resort.

I was not suggesting the Italian Club as a venue for the consumption of alcoholic beverages ! Good place for tennis. Good swimming pool and bridge club.

I've clearly been here too long, it tends to be the only yardstick by which I measure any expat event.
