It's entering the time of year when there are lots of events on, and the Qatar Tennis Open will be starting on the 5th of this month before culminating in the finals on Sunday. As usual the event will be held in the Khalifa Tennis Stadium - click on the map at the bottom of this post to see exactly where.
There is also the AWA fair on Saturday at the Intercontinental (more details to follow shortly), as well as their General Meeting at the Interncontinental' s fish market on Monday - registration begins at 9.30, their will be a charge of QAR60 for members and QAR80 for non-members who can enjoy a light brunch and a talk from the Qatar Diabetes Association, after which you probably won't feel like desert! You will need to confirm your attendance first by emailing qatarawa (at) yahoo.com.
There is also the inaugral meeting of the Qatar Birds Club, which is being formed by the The Friends of the Environment under the sponsorship of Bird Life International. This will be held at 7.30 pm at the Friends of the Environment Center. If you want to join you will need to bring 2 passport photos and a QAR20 membership fee (QAR40 for families). You need to confirm this by emailing - we haven't received permission to put up the email address yet, but if you would like to attend you could email us and we will forward it on.
There are also two more rambles taking place. The first will be around the Camel Racing Track, and the second will be searching for winter birds near Al Khor. You will find more details here.
