Hiya

I've just signed up to FPN after looking at the hobby that long.

It looks like the UK interest is minimal compared to our us cousins which doesn't surprise me really because of the way we live and the general attitude. No one in the seems interested in anything that ddoesn't iinvolve a ball I'm sorry to say. But maybe something will turn up if we just keep visiting fpn... Keep going with your obsession.

Best wishes.

There is a monthly meet for pen enthusiasts in London on the first Saturday which doesn't involve balls apart from on the big screen that is conveniently located away from us.

 

In October the meeting is in the pub opposite the Pen Show on the Sunday

There is also the Pelikan Hub meeting(s) on 16th September.

London and Manchester I know and I think Edinburgh?

alc, I've now registered with Pelikan. How does one find out what dates and where the hubs will take place?

 

Many thanks in advance.

      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
