Apologies, I don't know why I didn't see the report straight away. I'm glad it went well and hope to be able to come next time.

I had a brilliant time in Devon that weekend, but I'm wondering how you got on at the Watershed? How many people were there? Were there enough tables? Did you have a good time?

I probably won't be able to make it for midday, but if possible would like to join you later. How long do you reckon you will be at the Watershed for? Would it be possible to have Mihailolja's mobile phone number - for emergencies only?

Sorry to hear you cant come Rosalind.

Maybe its time someone in your part of the UK arranged a Powow? I'm sure you'd get a lot of people interested.

Hi everybody

Good point. No doubt I will have some big piece of paper with the letters PROZ on our table (s).

Please try and get there early as they do get busy with people coming for lunches after 12.

See you there!

Dear Mihailolja and Translators,

I have checked the Watershed's website and it looks like a huge centre. Are we going to meet in the Cafe Bar at 12 am? How will I recognize you?

I am looking forward to meeting experienced translators, because I have just started working in this field. The draft agenda sounds interesting to me and I hope that I can be there on Sunday (90% sure). I will bring my boyfriend as well.

Have a great day!

Henriett

Post title: Getting organised

Evening everybody

I'll be phoning to confirm a venue in the next few days but in the meantime I've got a few more topics together that may form the basis of some loose agenda. Here we go:

1. "Certified" Translations. 2. MONEY matters ( to include getting paid, tax, exchange rates etc etc )
3. Technical issues ( types of translation software, pc's, internet connections etc ).
4. Anything proz related.

Please, please, add anything you want to the above list as I am sure to have missed something out. If we have 20 plus people turn up then it might be good to split people up into groups of say 3-4 and assign a topic to each group, discuss it and then come back to the whole group? If we have 10 or 15 or so people then it might be better to take the form of a general discussion following an agenda such as the one listed above?

What does everyone think?

Have a great bank holiday!!!

Regards

Please feel free to add your own suggestions regarding venue, once this is sorted out we can get some loose agenda agreed upon. ( some ideas spring to mind like 1. "Certified" translations 2. Getting paid etc etc )

Well, as you can never tell how the weather's going to be in this country, perhaps a picnic is not the most brilliant idea!

If it's sunny(!) how about a picnic in a park? Victoria Park in Bath is a nice one(and has a playground)but we'd probably need a back up plan in case it rains!

I personally would prefer somewhere in central Bath or Bristol. Not too sure about meeting on a farm... and it would be good to cbe somewhere with a nice atmosphere

I've been to the one in St Werburgh's ( farm not the cafe ) and the kids loved it. What does everyone else think? Would it be easier for everyone to meet in the centre perhaps?

If you want to meet somewhere really child-friendly, how about meeting in a caf at a city farm? I know that Windmill Hill City Farm has a caf, and I think there's one at St Werburgh's too.

Hi Mihailolja
I'm sure you will have no problem at all organizing a powwow - it's really easy! I have attended two and organized one myself and they were all great. I think the first powwow in the area should indeed be informal, as Sebastian and Anette said. I can't say with any certainty if I will make it or not but I do hope so!

I'm sure you're not breaking any rules by telling us of the existing group, I personally wont be able to make it but appreciate your info. I'm just so busy with our 2 kids and our recent house move that even one Powow as far of as May is the most I can achieve. Thanks again.
