OR...... Jan 18, 2006

I used to work in the Grosvenor on Shandwick Place - call Una (manageress) or Alan (assistant manager) and see if they can book something for you - they have big booths up the back that can fit 6 or 7, and can pull tables together to make some more room. And they have real ales on the go all the time!

Thanks, Paul Jan 18, 2006

shame you're so far away but I live in Leith Links and without a car it's just too longwinded to get to Stockbridge. Will bear it in mind, though

Traverse? Jan 18, 2006

Hi again, I've just phoned the Traverse cafe bar and you can book tables there...I know I've said this already, but it is one of my favourite places...

Avoca is a lovely bar for anyone visiting Stockbridge -and it's just a stone throw from where I live!

Let's try the Traverse Jan 18, 2006

Thanks, Fiona. Let's give it another day or two to see how many definites there are and try the Traverse bar for this first meeting. You mentioned that it's the basement bar - what is it called and could you e-mail me their phone number. As far as I know Blue is the trendy one on the first floor.

My mistake: Not Blue Jan 18, 2006

Hi!

That was my confusion. It's not called Blue. The bar under the theatre is (guess what) called the Traverse Bar Cafe. 0131 228 5383.

The Traverse Bar it is Jan 18, 2006

okay, David, touché - it's just that I don't get out much so I had to enlist the help of others

Anyway, I've just phoned the Traverse Bar and booked a non-smoking table (just think of it this way - from March 26th all the pubs will be non-smoking anyway (grinning from one ear to the other)) for 12 people at 8 pm on Wed 25th Jan. Just ask which table is reserved for the "proz translators meeting".

See you
... See more

I had a ball! Jan 26, 2006

Hi Everyone, what a fab evening we had yesterday! It was really good to meet you all and it was also great to meet some people who don't normally stay in Edinburgh. I am really looking forward to the next Stammtisch on March 22nd! So watch out for the next Edinburgh Powwow!

clarification Jan 26, 2006

Just to make it clear - established full-time translators who have been in the profession for over 5 years can be accepted without exam. Further info from www.iti.org.uk For the visit to the Scottish Parliament, don't send any money but bring £3.50 ready counted! BTW, wasn't the next Stammtisch to be on FEBRUARY 22nd?

Good to meet you all! Jan 26, 2006

Hello everyone

I really enjoyed last night, and hope to see you again - I arrived late and didn't get to talk to everyone, so I'm looking forward to future events. And a big thanks to Rebekka!
