Any Others In, Or Around, Charlottesville?

Hi everyone.

 

I am brand new to fountain pens after receiving one as a gift in December.

I now own four inexpensive pens and a number of ink samples. I'm having

a great time with these pens.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like pen sellers within an hour of Charlottesville

have all closed down in recent years. I also have yet to meet anyone in

person with the same interest.

 

I'd really enjoy meeting others in the area. Are any of you nearby?

Hello and welcome to the fountain pen community. I'm Tom, a local grad student.

There used to be an art supplies store that carried fountain pens, but they've since shut down. Now there's a new one called 'The Art Box' by Foods of all Nations. I haven't been yet, but they seem to have Lamy pens and a few different inks.

There's a bigger fountain pen meetup group near Roanoke headed by Chad Trent. I'd be up for a Cville meetup.

Hi, I live in Lynchburg and have been attending the Roanoke Pen Club for several years. You guys now make 3 who are interested in getting together. I know Charlottesville is quite a drive to Roanoke. If one should start up In Charlottesville, I would be interested. Meanwhile if anyone in Charlottesville is interested in meeting me in Lynchburg and riding the rest of the way with me, that would be fine.

 

Here is a web site for the club: http://cosmoglasswor...anoke-pen-club/

You can contact Chad Trent from that site for further information.

The Roanoke Pen Club has a Google Group which you can join: https://groups.googl...oanoke-pen-club

 

Or, you can PM me and I'll get back to you quickly.

We are hoping to have a meeting soon, just have to get enough people to commit so we can set a date.

Great news. I look forward to meeting you both. I will follow up with a PM.
