Beloved Member FraternityWarm greetings once again!‘Warm’ is probably the wrongword usage, especially sinceDubai is experiencing one ofits most intense summers thisyear!!!As the mercury levels havebeen consistently rising in thepast two months, the activityat our India Club has alsobeen heating up. We recentlyconcluded the UAE OpenBadminton tournament, and tosay that it was a grand successwould be an understatement.I would like to commend theorganizing committee and staffwho managed to pull off such afantastic tournament. The factthat there were a whopping501 entries, underlines theimportance of the UAE open,amongst the sports eventsconducted in the UAE. Thistournament seems to be gettingbigger and better as the yearspass and that in itself is a hugeachievement for the Club.The Club has also addedthree new institutions in thecities of Mumbai, Jaisalmer andKolkata to its ever growing listof affiliations. I am sure that allmembers will find value in thehospitality services provided bythese prestigious institutions.I would like to thank all ofyou for an incredibly positiveresponse with respect tothe open areas of the clubbecoming no-smoking zones.This is definitely a step in theright direction, and will helpin our endeavor to make theclub a healthy and safe place tosocialize and interact.We will be having a smallbreak, as far as events areconcerned, due to the holymonth of Ramadan. However,let me promise you that this isjust the lull before the storm!We have planned a plethoraof social events and activities,starting from the middle ofSeptember right until the end ofDecember.
