UK's first ever oud gathering 
The main event will be a lecture in Oud history, development, oud making, the Egyptian oud and music will be given by Dr. Michael Mussa "who has just got back from Egypt with more to show and talk about, I can't
waite  " with a display of some of his ouds and Nays with music samples in between
The rest of the day will be mainly in getting to know each other and play, play, play and play more music and more
there will be sandwiches and light refreshments to share  "I'm fasting" we may go
for a meal in the evening at the famously attractive curry mile " a road full of resturants, cafe's and light entertainment venues especially shesha
houses" 
I can't waite ..... can you? 
see you there ..
also expect.. photos ... videos and music files
BIG UP TO THE UK's FIRST GATHERING ...
SALAM
Awad

Hi! Just got a question, is this community hall free to enter? Just want to make sure. Did you book it or something, or is it just a place where
anybody from the public can enter and meet up anytime?
Also, I fixed my Oud peg problem but I don't think I'll bring my Oud. From the sound of it there will be a lot of good Ouds and mine will just be
glanced at, then put to the side of the room and at the end I'll have to carry the thing all the way back home!
Bus times are rubbish to get to Manchester, if we came on the bus we'd have to go home 1 hour after arriving. Train times are no better either, but
will probably have 2 hours or so to chat, play and listen. How many people do we know are coming?
See you all there, hopefully!

Thanks Greg for the encouragements,
Yeeees guys
It would be great to meet and I'm up for it big time, If all agree and as DaveH suggested for Manchester as a venue for the meet I'll be organaising
the Hall "The damage is on me guy's as we say,nice little roomy place" for the sessions and a tour around the City in my spacious SUV
come on now, set a date and let it happen
I nominate Kelly to organise the rest
Best regards to all,

Hi Owain,
the answer for your first question is above, all will be covered my friend "people in the regions where the oud origionated will do even more for a
guest", the whole idea is for people to meet and get the oud ball rolling
Don't worry about an oud there will be plenty available
so far we've got about ten people coming for certain + many promised
If you needed a lift from any of the stations, give us a shout ..
See ya,
Awad

Good luck with this important initiative and hard work on the part of the organisers - it all looks very interesting and worth attending. Hope that
it goes well and will pave the way for more events in future.
