Hi All,

I've just joined up on the FPN and Shangas invited me over here.

At risk of repeating myself from the Introductions topic, my name is Gary. I'm a 49 y.o. physicist and engineer and started getting interested in fountain pens around a year ago.

I thought I'd say hi although I'm not sure I'll be very active here, but we'll see. I'm not sure I'm a collector; more a fountain pen admirer with a few pens so far and more than enough ink to last a lifetime.

[Shangas]

Our next meeting is the 3rd of April, I believe.

Hi fellow Melbournians - I'm hoping to stop by the Tower Hotel for the next get-together. After using the same Waterman Preface for 20 years I decided to see what else was around, and I've been astonished by what I found. I'd be interested to chat about pen stuff with others.

[Shangas]

The next meeting of the MELBOURNE PEN GROUP is the FIFTH OF JUNE. 6:30pm at the Tower Hotel.

 

Anyone interested in attending, please bring along ONE pen which holds some variety of significance to you, and be prepared to give us a little chat about why you like this pen or why it's significant!

When is the next meeting? What is the normal schedule - is it first or second Monday every second even numbered month?
