The Canteen supplies Milk, Tea, Sugar, Soap 3 Cloth,
Cigarettes, Matches, Vests, Pants, Towels &c.. at considerably
lov/er prices than those current inlhe bazaar.
It is proposed in the coming year to build a new
Canteen in which the men can obtain Tea, Coffee and Biscuits.
A number of games have been purchased for use in this Canteen
and it is hoped that it will be well patronised and keep men
away from the bazaar. This is more than likely as they will
be allowed monthly credit which is not available to them in the
bazaar.
11. Sports .
P.T. is now carried out daily. Hockey and Basket
Ball are played regularly. The Hockey team has now won the
Consulate Club Cup three times running.
A seven a side Hockey Tournament has been organised
by the Maqbul Club but owing to the "professionalism" being
shown by other teams in the matter of holding up games in order
to see how many points are required before two teams of another
Club can make certain of winning the cup it can hardly be called
an unqualified success.
The Annual Sports Meeting has had to be postponed
until the 9th January, 194-6.
12. Buildings .
No major repairs have been necessary, but a number of
alterations are proposed in the coming year. We unfortunately
suffer from a lack of masons and the cost of employing outside
labour is prohibitive.
T^ith the end of the war it is hoped that materials
will be more easily available, particularly cement and copper
gauze wire netting. It is proposed to carry out extensive
alterations to the existing kitchens. Oil cookers have been
ordered from Ordnance.
A small house has been built on the beach at Wataiyah
for the use of officers, where they can take two or three days
leave for shooting and bathing. A few days away from Bait-al-
Falaij appears to be good for them both physically and mentally.
Should the Canteen continue to make as much profit
as it is making at present, it is proposed to build another
small hut somewhere on the beach where men ordered sick leave
by the M .O. can be sent in small parties for a week or so. At
present when men are ordered sick leave they have to go to
Muscat or Matrah where they spend their time in Coffee shops
and do not benefit at all, in addition to which they, in all
probability, contract a fresh disease.
