AL FRIDA

 

al-frida muslim social
at the
emerald lounge
HAYFIELD MASALA, LONDON

 

_______________________________________________________________

 

AL FRIDA the new regular monthly (unless otherwise stated) Muslim social throughout 2012 - easy to remember, 'final Friday' (from which we derived the name '...al frida.' !

 

In terms of price - only £12, for 2012 FOR EARLY BOOKINGS (reverts to £20 thereafter). AL FRIDA is hosted at the EmeraldLounge provides a wonderful opportunity in a 'muslim social space' to catch up with your friends and make new friends in a section of the HAYFIELD MASALA - a former pub, now alcohol free! Our exclusive partnership which we hope you will enjoy throughout the year inshallah

The forum is open for all to use for own benefits, eg. making contacts, promote your business or organisation, fundraise, and special features - which in February included WALOU charity, launching the FUSION RALLY, and in April we showcased two authors Sufiya Ahmed and Ahmed Bashir.

 

In summary - one forum, many benefits insh'Allah. Limited by venue capacity, anticipated to sell out - hurry to avoid disappointment :)

 

The key message is the onus is on yourselves to use the muslim social space for your own and collective - these are 'socials' as opposed to structured events, therefore there will be minimal formality and intervention by hosts, as we want everyone to enjoy with less interuption (only featured initiatives eg. book launch, charity showcase, may have short presentations).

Who is social aimed at?

We hope this microsite is clear, however if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact EMERALD (link below).

 

An obvious question - who is the event aimed at? Anticipated diverse guest list reflecting the ummah at its best, all backgrounds, professions and locations, the events to-date hosted by EMERALD and indeed the new emerald lounge provides an excellent forum to enhance your network - the underlying ethos of social network, the foundation of EMERALD - the people's network, for those that share the common values of our faith and that of respect.

 

What's the format?

On arrival, quote 'emerald' - you will be given a token to get your first complimentary drink, finger food will be laid out in platters in an informal manner, as no fixed seating/table arrangement. Onus is on yourself to interact and help yourself to the food (it is not the main feature of the evening am sure you'll appreciate, key is enhancing your social network, meeting and greeting!).

 

We encourage all to order dinner and other drinks themselves of course. Look out for happy hour on arrival (Hayfield Management's offers).
