Thank you for your ideas of how to best use the Proz website. I had tried to upload my picture and had made it the size required but failed. Why??

It's a shame that I live so close to Cambridge but was not able to join you all.

Brilliant pictures!

I can't wait to take part in the next powwow in East Anglia.

Hello Russell,
I hope you received the pictures for posting on the website at the second time of sending, as they were returned the first time - probably sent to the wrong email address.
Unfortunately, I forgot to add my message the second time, saying how much I enjoyed the powwow and meeting all the people. I also thanked you for your excellent organisation.
All good wishes,
Bob

Powwow: Cambridge - United Kingdom | Thanks again

Post title: ID Verification

Great to see so many fellow translators today.
Before I register the ID Verifications, you may like to see the following paragraph from my instructions on the process:
"Changing your ProZ.com username, or modifying the first, middle or last name in your ProZ.com profile in any way, will result in your "verified
status" being revoked. If this happens, you may write to the person who verified your identity to ask that they verify it again".
If anyone would prefer to postpone or cancel their verification because of this, please let me know.

I don't think I'll be there this time. Sorry not to see the Fort st George again, perhaps we could have one in Dorset (Or Bristol?) as that is where several of us live. In Oct./Nov.? Have a great day.

Dear Russell,
Just to let you know I hope to arrive from Kings Cross at around 11.30, so will look out for the blue car.
Best wishes,
Bob Symonds

Powwow: Cambridge - United Kingdom | Ready to powwow!

Post title: Ready to powwow!

The forecast for Saturday is fine and dry with sunny periods and it looks as though we can expect between 19 and 25 people.

For those who can, please do your best to arrive at about 12 noon; - we are not paying for the venue and it is not reasonable (nor practicable) for the management to reserve the space for us unless we make a reasonably prompt appearance.

I am offering a taxi service from Cambridge station to the Fort St. George at 11-30 for up to four people, provided that at least one person confirms to me that they would like to take advantage of it; look out for a dark blue car with a ProZ sign on the windscreen.

Henry and Co. are promising (or threatening?) that preferential treatment will increasingly be given on ProZ.com to members whose ID has been verified. Verification at a Powwow is the only free way of doing it; remember to bring a photo ID (passport etc.) if you’re interested.

Bon Voyage, especially to those who are travelling any distance.

Russell

My name is Brigid James and I am currently trying to 'break into' translation, so I will hopefully be there to glean as much info as possible.

Hello, my name is Manuel Serrano and live in Cambridge.
My translation fields of interest are medicine and literature. As this will be my first powwow, I am glad it is happening so near the place I live. I can vouch for the Fort St George pub being a very well chosen location, so I look forward to meeting you there.

Hi, I'll probably be there - with a language student guest.
I'd be interested in learning more about Trados, as well as discussing issues relating to marketing for frelancers.
