Bodojo is keen to facilitate members joining together informally on a regular basis to discuss the bodhran and extend the online community into smaller actual regional communities.

This is a call for expressions of interest in forming a number of informal bodojo bodhran clubs. These would be regional and open to players of all qualities and styles. Each club would require a facilitator to arrange for a space (someone's house?) and to make tea & coffee or whatever is the beverage of preference.

I stress that these are intended to be free clubs, gatherings of like-minded people who want to experience others' drums, see other players play and generally engage in bodhran-social activity. It is not a formal event but facilitators may arrange for special guests or events where members contribute to the cost.

Of course you don't have to make it a 'bodojo' bodhran club at all, but doing so will bring bodojo support via a club forum and whaver facilities the site can bring to assist the running & maintenance of the club. File bodojo's support under 'bodhran evangelism'

 As I said I am only evaluating the level of interest currently. We have support so far for a regular event in Ulster & Munster. Please use the forum thread to respond.

I will be out of communication from 7-11 May but I'll respond when I come back.

Thanks - P
