Asalamualaikum,
I would not like to apologise for cancelling the meeting today. I would however like to wholeheartedly apologise for those who abdul alim or I did not manage to contact in time to inform them of the cancellation. Yes there should also have been an email sent out for both the meeting and the cancellation. This should be standard procedure for any meeting.
The cancellation was made primarily for two reasons:
1. Security concerns for the exec committee who were to attend the meeting
2. Many key people were not able to attend apparently - e.g. Shirin, Ilhan ,Waheed etc..
Either way, we shall soon see our forum skills come into action. I firmly believe there is nothing we can't do on the forums that we can do at a meeting. As usual I want the new exec to take the initiative and start taking things into their own hands. It is paramount that we start getting things like the freshers fayre, and the freshers events etc all planned early as next year a significant number of the exec will be in clinics and there is the likely possibility that we won't beable to help out as much. e.g. myself, samir, waheed, sana etc
Perhaps this cancellation is a blessing in disguise, as it will mean we will have more to talk about when we eventually do meet up..It will also mean our Incoming Vice President and WebMaster Nihad will also beable to attend inshAllah.
Once again, am terribly sorry for those who were not informed of the cancellation, and if anyone has travel costs that they would like to be dealt with please just contact me.
Wasalam Rashid

AA, I would not like to apologise for cancelling the meeting today.

Either way, we shall soon see our forum skills come into action. I firmly believe there is nothing we can't do on the forums that we can do at a meeting. Equally well said, and true. Perhaps this cancellation is a blessing in disguise... You'd be amazed how often this is true. So please guys and girls, capitalise on this event. Lets get things moving... (And please have another go at sunglasses, etc.) wslm NMA

Assalaamu Alaikum,
Hope you are all in the best of health and Emaan
As many people are going away for the summer during August we thought that it would be ideal to have a meeting before then. The date and venue that has been confirmed after discussions with Br Rashid is as follows:
Meeting Date: [glow=red,2,300]Tuesday 31st July[/glow] Venue: [glow=red,2,300]Rockerfellar Cafe[/glow] Time: everyone should try to arrive @ 3pm, Meeting to start @ 3.10pm prompt iA length: around about 2 hours Topics: The freshers week events will be revised and decisions mostly finalised with roles handed out, and also many of the events of the first term will be discussed and some ideas and also plans for steps that may be required to be undertaken early. just from the top of my head, the events that we are going to be holding during the first term after the freshers events are Eid Dinner, Entry to Medical school for A-level students, Seerah classes, possibly tafseer classes, Academic sessions, Buddy Schemes (this needs to be further disscussed and confirmed of its feasibility and its projected outcome), possible an Islamic lecture also (may be an ethical one or/and possibly an event about Hajj closer to the time).
I may have missed any events that i cant think of at the moment, cos im in abit of rush but when i do remember any events that i have missed out i will post it up so that everyone can start jotting down ideas for these events in the meeting insha'Allah.
Wassalaamu Alaikum
p.s. please post up if u are coming or if u know of the people who are likely to come to the meeting so that we can get in contact with all the people if the meeting cannot take place due to unforseen circumstances which insha'Allah wont be the case with this meeting, and in such circumstances we will learn from our mistakes and let everyone know through email, the forum and phone calls insha'Allah

AA,
Unfortunately I won't be able to make the meeting - I have a GP placement all day on Tuesdays and right now I have tonnes of revision to do: exams are only 2 weeks away!!! (Please remember all the clinical students in your dua's).

AA,
I also won't be able to make it tomorrow as I'm in labs over the summer but for what it's worth bowling at Trocadero is available on the 3rd and 4th of October 2007, which would be during Freshers Week.
So if you agree for say Thursday 4th October 2007 from 3pm onwards I can book it........and finally best of luck for the clinical students for their upcoming exams, we will make dua!
WS,
Samir

Asalaamu alaikum !
Hope everyone is well inshaAllah. I cannot attend either; please be sure to post up a detailed minutes as soon as possible following the meeting so that those of us who were unable to make it can still contribute and keep up to date. As it seems unlikely tht we can schedule a meeting that everyone can attend before freshers, I must stress here the importance of keeping the forums active during this next month of planning. It has been said time and time again, however checking the forums is simply not enough. To contribute we must actually voice our ideas and opinions regularly -- and from this moment forward as time is swiftly running out. If everyone does this than a lot can be achieved iA.

CALL me on my TEMP NO. 07709835192, or maybe i might email my home number to rashid/rums isoc so i dont post it up here on these publicly viewable forums...maybe another point of discussion at the meeting.

Yes iA meeting is going ahead.
Shaarifa and Sofia's fones are switched off so assuming they're both on holiday...
Waheed just got from Pakistan last night so is still jetlagged etc and won't be coming today.
So it looks like so far people attending should be:
Me, Abdul-Alim Nihad Taj Yasmin Possibly Shirin & Saj
