Since it was established in 1996, the Leeds Omani Society (LOS) has been the gathering foundation for the Omani students in Leeds. The society essentially aims at organizing social, cultural and sports activities for its members as well as promoting the Omani culture in Leeds. It significantly contributes in helping new Omani students to settle in Leeds and succeed in their studies.

Activity types

Each year, various major activities are held, among these are the weekly Ramadan Iftar Meetings, Eid gatherings, the Omani National Day celebration, the Annual Omani cultural exhibition, the weekly Friday circles, football leagues and end of year parties. The society has continuously participated in many events organized by other societies either in Leeds or around the UK.

Joining the society

All Omani students who come to study in Leeds are welcome to become members of the society. They only need to send their email addresses to the society so they can be updated regularly with various events and activities. Omani students who study in areas close to Leeds may also join the society and participate in the various activities.

Current records (as of 01.05.08) show that there are 75 male and female members. This figure is regularly updated when some students finish their studies or new students join.

Forming the administration

At the beginning of every academic year, a general meeting is usually held for all Omani students in Leeds. This meeting marks the start of the society's activities in which a new administration is formed. All Omani students can put themselves forward for any position (president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, sports leader and cultural leader).
