Main Committee Message
Greetings RAHRC Members,
My name is Richard Winkel and I sit on the RAHRC main committee as the Community Member. I’m a Canadian who has lived with my wife and three boys in Oman for 4.5 years. As Community Member I work to provide members opportunities to connect with people who share similar interests or passions through Social and Community Sections. Currently we have 15 sections some of which are nationality based and some are activity based. For some who is new joiner to PDO, a new external member or someone who wants to experience more of what the Club has to offer these sections are the best vehicle to get engaged with the RAHRC community. I strongly encourage you to check one out and see if it is a fit for you! A complete listing of the sections is available at the front office or can be obtained from myself via the front office.
As we approach the end of the year we can look back a successful start to the season! Special events like the Wahiba Challenge, Sinterklaas, various swimming events and the huge National Day Fireworks were all successful and enjoyed by attendees/participants. The national day fireworks in particular was attended by approximately 3500 people – a huge testament to the community in and around the RAHRC. Core programs in the Arts Center, Fitness Center, Tennis, Sailing, swimming, running and others continue with good levels of participation.
Looking forward we several great events coming up such as the Music Festive Frolics (Dec 5th), Open Sail Day (Dec 7th), Panto Challenge (Dec 12-13th) and the New Years Party (Dec 31st). More details can be found by contacting the Front Office or checking the online calendar here. 2020 will also bring many great events for all ages as we enjoy the cooler winter months in the 1st quarter of the year.
Most of these events would not exist without our volunteers and I would like first to voice my appreciation to them for their commitment and selfless dedication. For those of you who are not yet involved in an event and would like to meet new people, learn some new skills and/or contribute to the RAHRC community please contact myself or the front office to learn more about the opportunities to get involved.
Thanks
On behalf of the Main Committee,
Richard Winkel
