Hello all,
What kind of programme do you have in mind? How about the venue? I definitely am interested but do need confirmation before booking flight + room...

See you in Glasgow! Oct 20, 2008

Hello Interlangue! It would be great if you could come to Glasgow, hopefully other translators in the area will join us for a drink. It will be my second powwow. If you confirm we can start looking for a place to meet...

time of day? Oct 21, 2008

I have meetings to attend through the day in Glasgow on 29th. I'd be able to meet in the evening (or early evening) for drinks/networking if that's what's planned. Please let me know.

More details? Nov 18, 2008

Does anyone know anymore about this? How about an afternoon event (I am booked out in the evening)? Maybe DiMaggio's or Grill on the Corner. My preference is the first.

Convenience for those who travel Nov 18, 2008

As there will be people coming from outside Glasgow, maybe it would be convenient to meet in a place near Queen Street or Central Station. I suggest "La Vita" (italian restaurant)at two blocks from Queen Street Station. There is plenty of space for a group, and it would be necessary to make a reservation more or less next week. The Counting House could be nice as well, in case most of you were interested in meeting for drinks and not for a meal.

Counting House Nov 18, 2008

I am not a big fan of the atmosphere in the counting house. Maybe food at La Vita and drinks later for those who want it.

I would have suggested the Pot Still for drinks, but I gave up the idea of joining you: flight prices went up (as always when the date is drawing near)... Maybe some other time.

Reservation Nov 18, 2008

I could make a reservation at La Vita for a start, at three o'clock if everyone agrees?

reservation time Nov 18, 2008

2pm would be better for me as I need to be back home for 5pm because of an evening appointment. I only live 10min from the centre.

Sorry Nov 18, 2008

I can't do a daytime meeting this time (although another day would be fine) so I'm dropping out.

do both? Nov 18, 2008

What if we have a lunch/dinner for those who can't make the evening with drinks for those who can't make the daytime?

Won't make it Nov 20, 2008

Hello everybody,
Sorry but I don't think I will make it as I am going to the London conference and I will have to catch up with my family next weekend. I hope to see some of you this weekend if you are attending the conference and hope to catch up at the next Glasgow Pow-wow.
