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.

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

Arghhh.... Nov 27, 2008

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.icon_wink.gif
See you later!
