Chill out and enjoy each other's company in London's South Bank!
After meeting fairly regularly with other Prozians in London at different venues and after the last fun Christmas Powwow Katharina and I decided to create a regular 'London Stammtisch' on the last Saturday of each month.
The word 'Stammtisch' is German and pertains to a table in a restaurant or pub reserved for regulars. Our colleague Rebekka Gross, co-organizer of the recent Edinburgh Regional ProZ Conference, is doing a similar thing in Edinburgh.
We wanted to hold it somewhere on South Bank because this is easily accessible by train, tube and / or bus. We have not decided on a nice and friendly pub and are greatful for any suggestions.
Just a suggestion: The Horniman at Hays Galleria close to London Bridge is not bad and quite reasonably priced (for London :). This will be my first Powwow
Hi to Everyone, Just a brief note to let you know that I can verify IDs as long as you can produce an identity document which displays your photgraph & details (original please) and your Proz-ID number. I look forward to meeting you all, Cheers, Constanze
I am planning to be in Milan for that week-end and to attend the powwow there. However, I might change my plans and stay in London; in that case I will definatelly join your powwow instead! Mauro
Happy New Year! Would love to attend--but only will be in London on 26th of Jan for couple of hours on my transit to Asia, maybe next time--wish you all a good Stammtisch round!
Yes, I'd like to be there. I hope it isn't too late at night though... By the way, there is a very nice pub/restaurant with really good food on the Thameside... I think it's called The Ship? Not sure. It is not far from the Hinde.
Wow, what an attendance. I'better sign up quickly. Was great to see you in Greenwich and a regular meeting is an excellent idea. Seeya! Errr, well... where exactly?
What a popular powwow! I'm sorry I won't be able to join you this time. (I'm flying to Argentina tomorrow!!) Look forward to the next Stammtisch! Have a great time!!!

Venue

Hi! Thanks for all the suggestions. I intend to visit London in the next couple of days and check out these locations and some other ones I had in mind. I'd like to keep it close to Waterloo Station though as it is just so convenient. Anyway, hope you all had a great Christmas Season and good a good start into the New Year. See you all soon!

Hello!
Jan 21, 2007
Hi everybody! I am very happy to meet you all in a week's time and thank you very much for registering! Katharina and I had a walk along the Thames on London's South Bank today to find an appropriate venue for all. There are several possibilities: 1. The Old Thameside Inn, near London Bridge station. 2. The Horniman 3. The Slug & Lettuce in Wardour Street (near Charing Cross) and one more pub, which has to be phoned.

Hi everybody! I am very happy to meet you all in a week's time and thank you very much for registering! Katharina and I had a walk along the Thames on London's South Bank today to find an appropriate venue for all. There are several possibilities: 1. The Old Thameside Inn, near London Bridge station. 2. The Horniman 3. The Slug & Lettuce in Wardour Street (near Charing Cross) and one more pub, which has to be phoned. As most managers were not there and it was very hard to get any reservation at all for a large group of people on a Saturday afternoon I will have to phone these venues up tomorrow and then in the evening specify the location. I very much look forward to meeting you all and to a chilled out afternoon with fun and good conversations! See you all soon! ▲ Collapse

Dear Anna,
Jan 22, 2007
I think you mean the Thameside Inn, which is just opposite the Golden Hinde. It is a good venue, which leaves us enough space and also has a restaurant. It is on two levels. Booking just has to be confirmed. We also tried The Anchor a few meters further up but unfortunately the do not reserve... And with a turn out like this Powwow we just wouldn't want to risk having no space... Venue will be finalised tonight!

@ Robert
Jan 24, 2007
Thank you very much for the suggestions! We litterally walked along the Thames last Sunday for an hour asking each and every larger Pub for reservations but the combination of Saturday + Thames just made it impossible to book (without meal). And as the group was getting so large we did not want to risk not having enough room. We will definitely take into account any suggestions - as the word 'Stammtisch' implies, it would be a table reserved for regulars... Thanks again! Arianna

For Anna- ID Verification
Jan 24, 2007
The ID verification is not for Powwow purposes; it is just that Powwows offer an opportunity for verification. This is a ProZ.com option (confirmed by a tick against your name on the site) to show colleagues and potential clients that you are who you claim to be, since a fair number of members still operate under pseudonyms, dual (or more) identities and probably false ones too. Paying ProZ.com by credit card is another way of doing it, whether for membership etc. or specifically for the purpo... See more

Not certain I can attend yet but will do my best. ▲ Collapse

Verifying IDs
Jan 24, 2007
ID's can only be verified upon presentation of a identity document displaying your photograph and confirming your personal details; I also need to register your Proz-Number.
See you soon,

IDs?
Jan 25, 2007
I still do not understand - why do we need this? We've been told to bring our friends - do they have to bring IDs, too?
