What Clubs/meetups Exist In Ma/ri/nh/me

Recommended Posts

I'm based in Worcester, MA and I hear about a couple pen groups in Boston, and in the Springfield area, but not much else. I feel like we are all pretty spread out, but definitely strong. There is a big community of fountain pen users in New England. But, I don't think we have enough clubs or meetups. Or, maybe I'm clueless and don't pay attention. Anyone interested in listing some groups/clubs in the area?

I'm outside Springfield, and haven't heard of any group around here, but would love to know also if someone had that information. And Worcester isn't that far - maybe there could be some joint activity? Would be very interested!

Sure thing. If we could get some interested people perhaps we can start a group in central MA even if it's just via Facebook first.

I started an online pen store but hoping to grow into a store front in the next couple years. www.thepenhut.com

Only one I know of is the Boston Pen People, which I signed up for. They also run the Commonwealth Pen Show. Other than that, I don't know of any.

      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
