Hi Everybody. I'm moving to Jeddah

Just thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm moving to Jeddah next week.
I'm from the UK and I've recently taken a job with a well known confectionery company to build a new factory in KAEC.
I've been working out of Dubai for the last 3 months whilst the visas etc. have been processed and it's now time to relocate.
We have a company ( move one) who are going to be showing us around accommodation so if anybody sees somebody walking around your compound aimlessly then it's probably going to be me.

I think I want to be in one of the larger compounds because my wife isn't going to relocate full time so I thought there would be a better social scene on a larger compound... Has anybody got any advice/comments as to which would be best?

I'd also be interested in knowing if there are any sailing clubs? and I'd also like to take up scuba diving again after quite a few years, so if anybody has any suggestions or info it would be very much appreciated.

I'm going to be staying at the intercontinental for a month or so whilst I sort out a compound. If possible I'd like to visit some of the compounds over the weekends to see what they are like without the people showing me around, so if anybody feels like inviting a total stranger to any social events then that would be appreciated too.

One last thing, the guy at move one says that they are thinking of opening the golf club at KAUST to external members... does anybody know anything about this?

Thanks for any replies in advance and I look forward to chatting and meeting some of you in the near future.

Grant.
