Very disappointed that I won't be able to make the Show this year. My dad being in hospital has jinxed any plans I had for this year.

Not long to go now, so hope everyone has a good time.

 

We'll miss you Carrie. I hope that your dad improves soon and gets settled in.

 

Ian

Only three days to go and counting!thumbup.gif

 

As usual I'm way behind on getting my stuff organised for it, but today my five year old grandson - Archie, decided to help me, needless to say that although it was a lot of fun I am now even further behind!mellow.gif

 

I'm really excited- and nervous - about this show, its the first time that Jeremy and I have organised it, and its the biggest Northern show yet!

 

The Northern has always been a special show for me, it was the first show that Ann and I ever attended as visitors, it was also the first show that I bought a pen at (A Sheaffer Legacy with a Richard Binder nib, bought from Sarj.)

Even when I was on the organising team of the London Writing Equipment Show and then later organising our own UK Pen Show events the Northern was still my favourite show. Now I feel a bit like Victor Kiam of Remington Razor fame (you have to be of a certain age to understand what I'm talking about) who participated in his own t.v. commercials stating something like "I loved the razor so much, I bought the company" . With me its "I loved the Northern so much that we bought the show"!

 

So, looking forward to seeing old friends, making new friends and chattiing to fellow pen freaks and seeing Jack of course!

 

As usual at UK Pen Show events FPN identifier badges will be available at the entry table so that we can all spot fellow FPNers - don't be shy - say hello to each other! I'll be wearing a UK Pen Shows organiser badge but you can find me on the Cathedral Pens table.

 

One final thing, please support the raffle that we are holding, this is for Cerebral Palsy which is the charity that Alan & Brenda Lloyd has supported for years.

 

Finally, one final thing embarrassed_smile.gif Please say hello to Ann she will be manning (or womanning?) the entry table as you come in.

 

SEE YOU ALL ON SUNDAY!

The weather looked threatening at one point but turned out nice, as you can see. :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
