Doha British Expat Soiree
 

On another thread few of the very helpful old hands of Doha offered to meet up with new comers (including myself) and perhaps make it a bit of a regular things if it goes well. This thread can be used for discussion re this meeting and for any others to join in as well.

I am proposing 16th of August 2012 as a date, and perhaps others can suggest a suitable venue? I only know of four season hotel near Qtel tower and will be in Doha in a week's time so not really qualified to suggest any good venue.

Let's get the ball rolling.

That should be Eid weekend and i'm getting out of Dodge for a week ....

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Ouch ok. How about 23rd? I am treating Thursdays as we do Fridays in the UK (ie, not a school night)

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Ill suscribe to this thread allthough it could be a few months until i make an appearance. Cracking idea though

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

23rd will Work for me, though I refuse to go to Four Seasons after spending QR400 on 4 glasses of Vino and surrounded by Eijits. Harp in the Sheraton is a better starting place.

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Will arrive on the 27th August so will miss out, but would be good to catch the next one:thumbsup:

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

How about we do 30th August then. At least we'll get more attendance and also give plenty of notice for others.

Four Season is the only place I know of (was staying there during interview), but of course we can meet anywhere. Sheraton would work fine for me.

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

sounds good, count me in

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

30th it is then. Sheraton a good starting place as everything is then close by.

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Sounds like a plan

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Sounds great count my family in I should be better by then. Me, my husband Tony, Ashley, and Kim.

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Ill be in Doha for my interview in a fortnights time. Ill be propping up the Bar of the hotel im staying in more than likely but if anyone has any plans or fancies meeting for a beer or two i would be up for that

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

Will the bar be open then? I think it will still be Ramadan. No bars will be open if it is Ryan.

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

No Bars open here until the 17/18/19th of August

Re: Doha British Expat Soiree
 

None at all? Not even inside the hotels? Oh well

On another note if you had a whole day to spend in Doha and wanted to do something or go somewhere nice where would you choose?
