Hi Danny, I'm still in Aus for the time being, so will be at the next couple of meetings, at least.

Hello everybody, as a new old lurker, I have decided to leave the shadows and get more active. I am so glad the Brisbane group seems to be taking off. Pity I missed the meeting in Capalaba, since I am only in Cleveland.

Will do my best to get to the meeting end of this month,

Hein

Hi,

 

Is there anyone from Far North Queensland around. I would love to start a meet up up here but I don't know anyone that uses fountain pens but me.

 

Lee:)

I'm learning as I go. I am slightly obsessed with Fountain Pens!

I know we are in pandemic crisis mode but are the Brisbane pen meetings still going ahead once we return to a semi-normal life?

 

Thanks,,

I think there was talk on the FB groups. The biggest issue with the Newstead Brewery is they are apparently only taking bookings for tables of 6 at the moment. I think there are plans to consider other temporary venues

      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

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
