Let’s celebrate!


















28 December 2017 - Coates MEA crew wrapped up the

year with good cheer! We had a two-hour bowling game

in Dubai Bowling Centre. It was a well-fought game of
three rounds; Pravin & Kareem leading with back-to-
back streak of strikes & spares! Beginner’s luck worked



















for first timers Mohamed & yours truly as we hit couple of
strikes & spares too. Bit of hard cheese for Ahmed hitting
his first & last strike on the third round. Kareem won!
Then, we capped the night with a sumptuous dinner
buffet @ BLVD on One @ Five Palm Jumeirah.
