DAI announces Story Time:

We need your help. Over the summer, the DAI started a Story Time programme that was a terrific success. The children, many of whom came every week, loved the stories and so did the parents. (Truth be told, so did the readers!)

So, due to popular demand, we’re going to launch CS21 Story Time, held in two locations. We’ll be doing Story Time at the Yarmouk Culture Centre on set Wednesday afternoons for all the kids in the neighbourh­ood (and anyone else who wants to come). We’ll also have Story Time at Amricani Cultural Centre on set Saturday afternoons.

The schedule for both is shown below. more interactiv­e reading.

A new football supporters website for British expats living and working in Kuwait has been set up by an Everton supporter, Trevor Powell. The Kuwait Brits Football Supporters Associatio­n (KBFSA) site aims to provide contact informatio­n for supporters of each others’ whereabout­s and also in the future hopes to organise social events such as quizzes and even five-a-side matches on a home internatio­nal teams basis. We need expats to register their support and hence we can then start to cast around for a suitable meeting venue. The site can be accessed at www.kbfsa.co.uk.
