ProZ.com powwow: Translators' Stammtisch - November 2008
November 27, 2008, 7:00 pm
United KingdomEdinburghIn personEnglish
Monthly informal meeting of translators and interpreters from Edinburgh and surrounding areas. All welcome – whether you are here on holiday/business or live in Scotland all year round!
where: German Christmas Market, at the crepes stall
when: 7 pm
The market closes at 8pm so we'll then make our way to our usual venue, The Cumberland Bar, 1-3 Cumberland Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian EH3 6RT. I expect to be there at around 8.30 for those who will join us later.
If this is your first time, please ask the bar staff for the "translators meeting". There's a table booked for us.
If you need accommodation:
The Edinburgh Central hostel run by the Scottish Youth Hostel Association (SYHA) is a modern hostel about 10 minutes' walk from the pub where we meet.
Identity verification:
If you are not VIDed yet, you can get your identity verified at the powwow. Please make sure you bring some sort of picture ID and that you show your real name on ProZ. More info can be found here: How do I get VIDed at a powwow?
I actually made a mistake, I thought the Powwow was on Oct 27, not on Nov 27. In any case I can't make it because I have a French class on Thursdays :-S
I would love to join you. I am visiting from South Africa. 25 Nov: confirming attendance and bringing one guest along. Will probably meet you at the crepes stall. Greetings
Sorry to miss out, but it looks like we'll be curling up in front of the fire instead! Manuela, I hope you get lots of customers at the crepe stall in spite of the weather. A very merry Xmas to you all if I don't see you before then.

Meeting point
Nov 23, 2008
Hello everyone,
Are you in a Christmas mood yet? Last night's snowfall made Edinburgh look so beautiful! As for Thursday, I would suggest meeting at the German market at 7pm. Manuela, you will be there the whole time, isn't it? Where can we find you? The market closes at 8 so we can make our way to the Cumberland Bar then (or to any other pub closer to Princes Street if you like - any suggestions?).
See you soon! Marion

Won't be making it to the xmas market after all, still hoping to come for a drink but not sure as I've just accepted a 10K translation starting first thing tomorrow. So I'll be working all weekend and my visitor from Germany will have to entertain himself *grrrrrr*

Time constraints
Nov 27, 2008
I'm fully with you, Rebekka! My mother is here just now and I have no time for her because of work, so I'll just bring her to the Xmas market today. Our visitors should arrange to do things together while we're working. See you later!
