Hi All,

Up until recently we had all been meeting up on a regular basis for a dinner, maybe a movie, and some other random activities, as part of the 禁漫天堂 Meet-up Group: /forum/viewtopic.php?id=104022

I would like to say for me, personally, the meet group was a success because when I first arrived in Abu Dhabi last summer I knew no one, and now I have met wonderful new friends through this group.

The group was targeted at those people who were new to the city, and quickly wanted to find their feet, or those who maybe found it difficult to interact with others, and on this front the group provided a safe and organised way of meeting new people and making new friends. You can also use it for networking within your own industries, but on a more social basis. I have welcomed people from various backgrounds, industries, and nationalities.

Running the meet group on a weekly basis became quite stressful for me, and has now got to the point where I now run it once a month, rather than once every week.

But a new idea has emerged, and that is to run separate, smaller clubs, related to specific activities.

This particular post is targeted at those who have an interest in movies. I absolutely love my movies, and probably go and watch two movies per week. I really don't have much of a preference between VOX or Grand Cinemas, but I have a good relationship with VOX, as we first started as cinema club.

This club will meet up once every three weeks. I am currently trying to develop enough of an interest so that we can get this started. So if you think you could give up one night every three weeks to come watch a movie and meet some new people, and hopefully make some new friends, then why not write back on here.

If you would like any further information, then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Mohit

Unfortunately this is my last week in Abu Dhabi. My company have opened an office in Delhi, and have offered a great opportunity.

Thanks.
