Hi Matthew, Leon, and all
Thank you for the readyness guys your attendace will really be an asset to this first gathering, since DaveH will be busy getting married on that date
 I don't want him to miss this meet, also as my plans includes Ustaz Mussa who has
just attended one of our weekly oud meeting I really want people to benefit from his vast knowledge and experties as he offered a lecture and a music
workshop . He is leaving to Egypt and usa on the fifth of Sept so I'm suggesting the 27th of Sept to accomodate him and DaveH and I hope this suits
all. In regards for a kip it can be arranged.
I am hoping to hear your say guys and its open to your suggestions,
Address and directions to Hulme hall will follow.
Regards,
Awad

hi Awad, Kelly Leon et al
Sorry, i haven't checked the forums for a few days. A bit busy . I'm actually
getting married on the 27th - the dates weren't resolved last time I posted. That means the original date (20th) would be best for me. I can't
guarantee I can make that either, but it should be possible. I'd really love to come but don't want to mess up your plans and then not make it, so I
leave it up to Awad. If it's on the 20th I will do my best, but if the 27th suits others better, go ahead.
Awad, assuming I can come, let me know if there's anything I can bring/ do to help.
Best wishes to all
Dave

I can be flexible through September as long as it is a weekend (Kids, Work etc). Dave, it would be great to see you mate, you are not too far from
me, you are in Oxford aren't you? but if you come to an oud meeting straight from taking your vows you'll be playing oud in the dog house for the
forseeable future Congratulations have a great day.
Leon

Thanks all, especially Awad for trying to include me, unfortunately I think for my own safety I should take Leon's advice and not jump on a train up
to Hulme straight after. I'm very disappointed but it's just not going to work out this time. There will be others though and I'm looking forward to
meeting you all. We have space here in Oxford for a few ouds and a few bodies to sleep over. Leon, if you're coming back on the following day, you're
welcome to drop by on the way.
So have a great time and post pics/videos.
Dave

Hi Charlie
I was going to try that, but I have unpleasant memories of an ex and a guitar (see here for the general idea).

Hi All
Just to confirm details for Saturday 27th September Get-together here in Manchester.
The Venue: Hulme Hall Community Centre, Rolls Crecent, Hulme, Manchester M15 1RF next to Hulme Garden Centre and behind The Junction Pub.
The Hall is has a kitchen as well as a meeting area. We will be able to provide light refreshments: sandwiches, tea,coffee etc.
Time: the hall will be open from 10 am till evening.
Programme: very informal aim to to meet and get to know each other share some music, play and listen- no pressure.
Micheal Moussa has offered to give a brief talk on his experience of oud-making and may well bring some examples !!
It would be useful towards the end of the day if we could discuss the possibility of organising further get togethers.
Depending on peoples' committments it would be good to go into Manchester or Rusholme for an evening meal. In order to accommodate those observing
Ramadan this would need to be later around 8 pm.
Accommodation: I can put up 2 people on spare beds if anyone needs overnight. Friday/ Sat. Please email me and let me know.
If anyone has any further suggestions, reasonable requests or queries please let me or Awad know and indicate on the forum or email who can
definately come so that we can get an idea of firm numbers.
Thanks everybody. Lets make it a great day. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody.
Kelly

Good luck lads and keep up the meetings. I'd love to get together and hear some real oud players.
I'll be out earning an honest crust with the fiddle so I can't come.  It'll
be my 29th wedding this year, so far. I might as well be a vicar.

Thanks. Awad I'm figuring out how to take 2 ouds safely on a bike across Manchester. Maybe if I leave early in the morning I'll avoid the worst of the
crazy traffic!!
Patheslip- thanks for your support we'll keep you posted. Best of luck with Haste to the Wedding.

I will come (hopefully), but as you know Kelly, I take a long time to get around to coming over...
I talked to Raabiah, and I think she might be coming also, but you'll have to double check with her... anyway, I'll be coming with my dad 
Can't wait to meet you all.

Yes, a big thanks to Mike, or this could have never happened in the first place. And another big thanks to everyone else who organized it!
Just a question though, should I bring my own Oud, or will there be enough Ouds to have a play on? Both my Ouds are nothing special, and at the
moment, neither are playable! One has too much buzzing going on, the other has two pegs stuck.. 
"Dad? I have to tell you something... I.. er, I'm addicted to... Ouds... )"
See you there.

Happy music making.

Thanks Leon, Owain and Dave H
Leon, you're welcome to kip at mine Friday or Saturday if you wish. I'll chuck the cats out! let me know.
Owain, bring your oud(s) if you've got room- we'll have a go at unsticking some pegs. Dr Moussa might have a cure! Yes, there will be other ouds
around for sure and I'll bring the Shehata for you to have a try out.
DaveH, have a great day and we'll be celebrating for you too
Kelly.
Kelly
