Hi Calum!
Thanks for this!
1) When I spoke with the woman from the restaurant she just spoke of the menu, but I guess you should be able to order items separately if you want!
2) Bringing an extra person should be fine as I have a reservation for 20 and there are only 12 who have confirmed positively so far. :)
Hope to see you later!
Best,
Maeva

Post title: The menu and additional guests

Hello,
many thanks for organizing this meeting!
I have a couple of questions about the menu and bringing other people:
1) If I go to the event, is it necessary to have the set menu?
2) Can I bring someone (who is not a proz member)?
My apologies for bothering you with questions so close to the event.
With best wishes,
Calum Riach

Okay great, it looks like it will be for Friday evening then! I will look for a place with a good group menus or simply nice tapas, and will get back by the end of the week on this.

For me Friday lunch is close to impossible due to my work schedule, dinner or Saturday lunch are preferable.

I will only be able to assist on Friday I'm afraid. Sat and Sun are fully booked with other activities. I would prefer lunch time but might be able to skip another event.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the interest in this powwow. I guess we are a small amount, and I was looking for a place that will offer a good group menu otherwise we can just get tapas. I see there is a mix between wanting lunch or evening. I was thinking dinner, but if lunch on Saturday is better for everyone else I am happy with that too.

Powwow: Barcelona - Spain | Where are the other Barcelona based translators?

Post title: Where are the other Barcelona based translators?

It's April and only 7 of us have signed up so far.
There must be more Proz translators based in 'our' area! Is there a way to get their attention?
I must admit that I stumbled on this event by chance too. Would a reminder in a discussion forum do perhaps? Or are there other, standard ways?
I still assume it will be on Friday May 15. If it's on Sat, or Sun, I can't be because of another event taking place that weekend.
Looking forward to meeting up with you all!

Post title: Hi all

Thank you for organising this, Maeva!
If we decide to meet during lunch hours, could we maybe do it on a Saturday?
If it's on a Friday, I most likely won't be able to make it during the day. Otherwise Friday evening is ok for me.
Please keep me posted, thanks!

Hello fellow translators! I changed the date to the 15th so that we have a bit more time for translator confirmations. I hope that's okay!

Post title: Meeting fellow Barcelona-based translators!

Hello everyone!
I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow Barcelona-based translators. Once we have a basic headcount, I will find somewhere to get some tapas and drinks where we can meet and discuss translating, business, life and leisure!
This is a great way to network and meet the translators in your city, so we don't feel so alone behind our computers!
