London Writing Equipment Show 2017

Recommended Posts

The 2017 London Writing Equipment Show taking place in October this year is almost sold out of DEALER tables..We only have 12 tables left unallocated.If you are thinking of joining us you need to act now to grab a table. It looks as though it's going to be a good one. As usual table plans will be available nearer the date.

 

All of our other shows the Northen, Eastern, Midland and Yorkshire shows are all completely fully booked and waiting lists for each show has been started - looks as though it's going to be a great year for pens.

Happy days! :)

 

Aside from London, do we have any European dealers or exhibitors visiting the shows this year? IIRC Gimena were at the SW show last year?

That's great news, Ian.

 

How do we get table plans - I'm going to try to get to the Eastern show for the first time this year.

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Hi, we have a new international dealer from Turkey joining us for the Eastern show in May he's bringing abot 400 pens with him! and at Sheffield we are being joined by Prof. Garlato from Italy and An Tran from the USA. All the shows are now fully booked with waiting lists started so as you say happy days lots of fun ahead.

The Eastern table plan is ready now, I'm working on London now. Just let me know where to send the plans to and I'll get them off to you. I can be contacted at ianpwilliamson@virginmedia.com

... I'm intrigued by what UK pen shows have to offer!

 

More temptation than a stylophile can handle!

 

Cheers,

appreciate that October is a long way off ​Ian, but it might be of use to let folk know the actual date, perhaps, thanks :)

Will be my first time. Was hoping to make it last year but had a clash. As it's outside the congestion tax zone, anyone know if the hotel parking is free and available to us (I'll probably still use the tube).

On street parking is free around the area - but check first.

 

I use Google street view to look at signs in advance and have always managed to find a space.

There was a question on the availability of car parking, not being a car user I didnt think of this for central London but the UK Penshows website says that there is underground car parking at the hotel, likely to be very busy of course.

Now in the diary.

 

I love this event and look forward to bumping into some of you there.

I think I may repeat this year! hopefully if Imso will manage to meetup again!

Fountain pen novice. I am aquiring pens at a frightening pace, I am afraid it might be an addiction... I see I am not alone here on FPN! Latest acquisitions - Platinum 3776 Kumpoo with Diamine Eau de Nil, Opus 88 Koloro inked with Diamine November Rain, Franklin-Christoph Model Pocket 66 prototype inked with Franklin-Christoph Honeycomb.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
