ProZ.com powwow: Working as a freelance interpreter
June 11, 2006, 12:30 pm
United KingdomLondonIn personEnglish
*Thinking of Pitcher & Piano in Fulham - that way everyone can choose if they'd rather eat/drink/both - I'll enquire further*
Hi everyone, just to clarify, of course everyone is welcome, but the topic is "working as a freelance interpreter", so it will obviously be more useful to you if you are an interpreter. Don't want to exclude anyone, but there are plenty of Pow-wows for translators (pretty much every single one in fact!) and this one is specifically aimed at interpreters. :-)
**********************
Note added 2nd June: Hi guys, excellent, I'm really glad loads of you have signed up - was thinking of switching to the Pitcher and Piano in the centre of London. I'd be really grateful if people could confirm whether or not they'll be able to attend, that way I can confirm numbers for the pub. If there are only a few of us, I doubt we'll have to book a table, but we might if there are more of us!
**********************
Note added on 6th June: OK, I've booked a table for 6 people (provisionally) for 12.30pm on Sunday at the TRAFALGAR SQUARE P&P (40-42 William IV Street)
http://www.pitcherandpiano.com/locations/bar.cfm?area=Trafalgar
Soho and Mayfair branches are closed on Sundays but this one is open :-) We'll have a Proz sign up on the table. We've been promised an upstairs table if the upstairs is open - we'll have a 'Pow-Wow' sign on the table and my number is 07921 131 689. Look forward to seeing you all there!
Hi everyone, all are welcome - I'm going to have a look for restaurants tomorrow but thought we could meet for lunch somewhere in the centre of London - suggestions welcome! Hope to see as many people as possible, should be great! :-)
I have lots of ideas about starting out as a freelance interpreter as that's what I've been doing for the past two years. Unfortunately I'm on holiday then. If the date gets shifted I would really love to attend, if not, maybe we could have another one.
I went to another London powwow yesterday and there were several people interested in coming to yours. However, there seemed to be a strong preference for a location in central London rather than Fulham

Great, Central London sounds fine - is that good for everyone else? Which Pitcher and Piano, Mayfair or Soho? If everyone could let me know their preferences by Tuesday that's fine, and I'll choose the one most people have plumped for - thanks

In response to Nicola, it'll be 12.30pm this coming Sunday, in either P&P Soho or Mayfair (depending on which has most preferences by Tuesday). Thanks

Hi to all of you! Katharina, David, Nicky and Inma could you give me your Proz.com ID numbers so I can register you all as having attended tomorrow?

That's all you need, I'll sort out a short report (including Tesco of course!) and photos and should be able to ... See more

Thanks for your ID's everyone, thanks for the Pow-wow info for Camden Katharina, sounds good; David I think I have to upload the pix (as far as I can understand from the website!) so if you could e-mail them to me, that'd be great, cheers!
