stu- beer only


10 so far an i may be bringing a couple more. feel free to extend the invite to mates/colleagues.


we can't have a session to ourselves unless we book a corporate event which is expensive. last time we all managed to get on the same session so shouldn't be an issue really. let's just keep an eye on young guns swinging helmets!

how's 7pm sound for everyone? then have a few shandies at the crown and lion after and see how it goes from there.

also who is driving as taxis from the kartdrome to byblos will need to be booked in advance.

Me 2 as I have friends with a teenager coming as well.

Even though I was only in for a socialble couple of jars, I'm afraid that that too is out of the question as I'm not in the area over the weekend.
Also, the crown and lion gives me terrifying flashbacks of things best not repeated.

stu mate we really need to get on the beers sometime soon, been too long.

everyone else, please confirm attendance and that the time suits you.

[Psychobert]

Bar disasters at work, 7 for a 7ish start fine for me..

[IanUAE]

Well Oman Air has returned me to Dubai so see you all at 7pm tomorrow. Let the billshutting begin.

Richard you really don't need to bring your tool chests and Phil you won't be changing any engines tomorrow night.

Oh and the older I get the faster I was.

I know mate. I know.
I'm taking Rose away as I have a full weekend off and she could do with a break (as could I).
I just thought that she deserved it more than you!

7 at the autodrome suits me.

Can someone wear a carnation and hold a copy of Catcher in the Rye, so I know who to pester?

Also, what's the cost?

And do we need long sleeves or is there overalls?

i agree, the term 'long suffering wife' definitely applies!

110 dhs a session + 10dhs annual membership fee, 2 sessions will be enough of a battering for one day! finding us is all part of the fun.

[Reardy Mister]

We're outdoors on the 13.5hp jobbies, yes?

yep. if you lap quick enough then next time they'll let you use the faster karts.
