Dear Members,
Alhamdulillah, the Holy and sacred month of Ramadan passed by bringing loads of
blessings and benedictions for us for which we are thankful to the Almighty. The fervor
and excitement of Eid ul fitr’s preparation is at its peak and we wholeheartedly pray to
Allmighty that all our members enjoy the festive occasion with their families with full
enthusiasm, safety and happiness.
This year members indulgence in Sehri and Iftar at the club was unprecedented, partially
owing to law and order situation in city and rest due to excellent and ellaborate
arrangements made by the Kitchen Convenor.
Publication's annual Qirat Competition was a thorough success and hats off to my
Committee members who worked diligently to acheive it.
The club’s upcoming events for the month of August 2013 are vibrant, entertaining and
enjoyable as we have the Eid Milan Party and Independence Day celebration to amuse,
recreate and cheer the members and their families.
Towards end of July our renovated Billiard Room was inaugurated. This state of the
art billiard room is being termed as one of the best in Pakistan & will facilitate the
members with this executive game.
On behalf of the Publication Committee, I express my sincere gratitude and association
with the members who have extended support, shown appreciation and positive reception
to all the events that have been organized by the club for the dear members and their
families.
I wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable Eid ul Fitr.
With Warm Greetings,
Eid Mubarak!

It was the vision of Saifuddin Madraswala, Convener Sports Committee to transform the Billiard room of the club from
a "good to excellent" Billiard Room of not only Local, National but International Level that the Billiard Room at the Karachi
Club Main was refurbished and tastefully decorated.
A special allocation of the budget was made and a team of professionals were called upon to do the job. All the
accessories replaced were bought from the reputable international suppliers as it was the aim of the convener to make
one of the best billiard Room conceivable.
The work was completed in a short span of 6 weeks, during which the members had to bear the inconvenience of playing
the game in other rooms of the club.
The Inauguration was conducted by Javed H. Karim, Honorary Secretary of the Club along with Ashfaq Tola, President
