Any translators living in or around Glasgow, UK fancy a meetup?

Hello Jonathan,
I would be happy to fly to Glasgow, SCO for some days this year if you can arrange some informal meeting there.

Laurent K.

I am a native Spanish/Galician speaker with a degree in Translating& Interpreting. based in Scotland and looking for a career in translation.

I would definitely be interested in meeting up with other translators/linguists in the area.

Thanks,

Begoña

Weather-wise, early Summer might be a good time.  However, it might be a good idea to time it with one of Glasgow's festivals (http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/ArtsDevelopment/festivalsandevents.htm).

Just so long as we do it before September, from which time I will be spending most days in Edinburgh for a while.

What a great idea!

I am a Glasgow native living in Bolivia.  I hope to get back for a visit in August/September.

Late August sounds good to me.  I will still be living in Glasgow from September but my weekdays will be spent travelling between Weegieland and Edinburger!

Veteran? Why, I could be your grandfather! I was born up there on the Clyde just before WW2. Do you know where Bishop Street was? Don't search the map, it's gone for ever. That's where my father (+grandfather, greatgrandfather) made paint to protect The Queen Mary and Queen Elisabeth liners. I would love to come, but I am residing in the south of France.]

Good luck, Brian Morrison

Anyone else interested in coming?

Could be interesting.  I'm based in Spain  now, but might be back over in summer to see the family and friends, so could possibly attend. The last time I tried to get translation work in Glasgow I got zero response. I found it hard to even get TEFL work too, although I did work on one summer TEFLA course in Edinburgh in 1990.

Please keep me up to date on your plans for the meet.

Be lucky, nm

Hi Jonathan,
