The Lighthouse Club Abu Dhabi is back … and we want to see you soon!

On Sunday evening this week The Lighthouse Club Abu Dhabi held its long-awaited reunion evening, following the COVID-19 pandemic hiatus. The event, held at The Shore Bar of The Club at Mina Zayed, in adherence to strict social distancing measures, was attended by around 40 members and their guests – delighted to be reunited after 15 months. 

Members were greeted by our mask-wearing committee, and seated with a maximum four to a table, where they were served a delicious al fresco BBQ meal with vegetarian options also available. Following seat sanitisation measures at intervals throughout the evening, members were permitted to move to new tables to greet long lost friends and colleagues, as part of the networking. 

As was customary, a business card grand prize draw was held, with our lucky winners this month receiving a gift voucher prize.

“It was great to see familiar and new faces alike, after what feels like a very long time” said Stephen Board, LCAD Chairman. 

“I’d always been keen to resume our monthly evenings together, as they are the heart and soul of what our Club is about. But it was important that this wasn’t done prematurely, and only when it was totally safe to do so.

“The global pandemic and its devastating impact has made the role of the Lighthouse Club more relevant and important than ever. Here in Abu Dhabi and around the world, the Lighthouse Club is there to raise awareness and to support the construction industry and our wider families with support and assistance in a variety of formats, for any hardships they may be going through.”

The Lighthouse Club Abu Dhabi is now keen to build back better from the pandemic and its impact, and are seeking new members to join our Club and our Committee. For further details about how to get involved, please click here. 

The Committee will shortly be announcing the details of our next gathering, to be held later this month (June).
