Thanks for the event, I met some interesting people through this. As for the issue with Konstantin following up on his promise, if you\'re going to complain about his methods then it would be professional to do so in private. Again, thanks for the event.

Konstantin,

I sort of agree with Oliver on this one. We spoke briefly at the powwow, but I was not one of those who was informed about the webinar, and it so happens that it is not particularly relevant to me. So your message was the equivalent of spam as far as I was concerned.

I think that a better route would possibly have been to take the details of everyone who expressed an interest, then send them all a message privately with details of the webinar.

Best,
Roland

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your comment. It was a pleasure to meet you at the powwow and I appreciate your vigilance on behalf of Proz.com. :)

I discussed this webinar with many of the people we met at the powwow and a number of them showed interest in finding out more. I promised to update them when the webinar is ready - hence the posting here.

Obviously, if you feel that strongly about this, you are of course welcome to contact the site team regarding this horrific breach of the rules. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Konstantin

Dear Kerstin,

I\'m sorry I couldn\'t make it in the end- we just bought a flat, so we spent most of the weekend looking at renovation needs and buying materials.

Hopefully I\'ll be there next time.

Hope to see you all next month and do send me your ideas for topics etc.

When I arrived, at nearly 4 pm (because of delays to trains), I estimated there were about 25 people, all talking noisily and happily. Pace Flo: I spoke to people from at least: Russia, Germany, Mexico, Spain, France, China, perhaps also UK!

Asif, this is really not the proper page to promote your services, not to mention the fact that your message contains several grammatical and stylistic errors, which is surprising for someone who claims to translate professionally into English...

Powwow: London - United Kingdom | venue & optional introduction round

Post title: venue & optional introduction round

Hello everybody,

after last month's venue was found to be a bit small, I've now booked the following for our powwow on Saturday 27 February from 3-6pm:

The King & Queen
1 Foley Street
London W1P 7LE

p: [phone removed]
nearest tube station: Goodge Street
The post code doesn't work on multimap for some reason, but the street name does.

The owner asks for a donation of 1 GBP per person for the McMillan nurses in return for letting us use the function room for free, so please can you all make sure that you have a coin ready upon arrival?

Last month one of the newer members suggested that it would be a good idea to start our next powwow with an introduction round, so that we all have a better idea of who we're spending the afternoon with.

I've prepared a very short and easy get-to-know-each-other-game (no handstands involved, just talking) if the interest is still there.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all next week,
best wishes,
Kerstin
