i tend to agree...soz BC...but a private club is never going to get the same support as the public beach. That said...some clever PR could sure as hell make sure you don't go down without a good fight...

they way I look at it is, that we have got try, why not? that place means a hell of alot to alot of people. It just proves that they can give you land and also take it off you!!! doesn't say much for the people who have invested here in Dubai does it? and I don't just mean villas, I mean commercial too.

What it means is that the "authorities" have thought, "That's a great piece of real estate, we'll pay the owners off, they'll be happy with the $$$, we can make so much more"

And they'r right, they can.

Now whether that's the way to go, and whether that will stop influx into Dubai? Of course it wont, people on resident visas cant make a change, only corporates the worldwide can.

Get on the bandwagon, stop living in the past, move forward.

There'll always be another Country Club.

oh i agree...members if they feel strongly must try...i just think it's a done deal. Same as when they closed Jumeirah Beach club, members interests don't matter...it's the dosh that counts.

that is where you are wrong, initially they offered to rebuild the club at a new location, we agreed to that and had plans drawn at a cost of 120K which were submitted. That WAS there compensation - they have withdrawn that and offered us NOTHING!!! so there won't be ANOTHER country club.

you will never feel how I feel about the club. I met my husband there and had my wedding there, my daughters christening was there too. I can't sit back and let them rip it down without a good fight.

But this is the way that Dubai is, the government (and all their cronies) are only after one thing.

Either join the Vision for the furture, accept the small problems that that will bring about or....
