Lwes 2013

[RMN]

Chucks, thought the show was on Saturday which I could not attend anyway. I'll be travelling to the UK on Sunday. If I'd known, I would have travelled on Saturday instead.

 

Oh well, I'll enjoy my holidays anyway.

It'll be my first show! Very very excited. There isn't a public list of exhibitors, is there?

[RMehta248]

Dainty dim sum, I agree....I have been going to this show for 4/5 years but really disappointed that this year is the worst on a) info on exhibitors or even which of us pen-nutters is going....I am......why so little buzz this time around.....no one even answered my Qs if John (Sorowka aka Oxonian) is coming? Where are Ian, Eckie, Susan Parker et al????? The usual folks?????? Sad! Rajesh

[twdpens]

If we receive a list from the organisers I'll post it here.

 

See you all on Sunday.

 

Martin

[Inkysloth]

See you there!

 

I'm very much looking forward to this, it being my first pen show.

 

Hoping to pick up some bits for repair. Frustratingly I really don't have much money this month - reckon I can pay for pens with my prints & cards?

I can answer one of your questions RMehta248 if it is of help. John Sorowka tells me that he intends being at the show, which is good as I have a couple of pens for him to work his magic on

Fabulously helpful Martin. Many thanks for taking the time and sharing.

 

Pavoni.

[Inkysloth]

Is there any update on entry price? Is it the same as last year?

[daintydimsum]

Yay! Thank you

[RMehta248]

Thanks, yippee for John!

 

I can answer one of your questions RMehta248 if it is of help. John Sorowka tells me that he intends being at the show, which is good as I have a couple of pens for him to work his magic on

Best, Ariel

Thank heavens for that - I was hoping he'd be there. I've a lovely little Waterman 552 1/2v that has lovely flex, beautiful wetness...and very slightly misaligned tines that I've never been able to fix myself, so it's hella toothy.

[grandmia]

See you all tomorrow, unfortunately i will not be there till after lunch, so don't leave.

[esterbex]

Please, if you can, make another video for those of us unable to attend. Last year's was grand!

[da vinci]

Train from Cardiff is running nearly an hour late! Flippin annoying!

[sunburyboy93]

Went today, had a great time, new to Pens and my first pen show, too many nice things, in fact so many it was impossible to take it all in.....

 

Bought a couple of things from Sameh Fahmy and from Mark Catley, and actually did my honest john good deed of the year for Mark Catley as on routing round in his "£5 Empty Boxes" bin, i picked up a Parker Case and when i opened it up i found a Parker 75 Cisele which really wasn't supposed to be in there

 

Great day and very much enjoyed

I could only spend the morning at the show as I had to be somewhere else ready for work tomorrow Still, I managed to see the tables that I needed to and had a couple of pens looked at by Oxonian

[mongrelnomad]

I was there too. First pen show and a fabulous experience. Met quite a few people I've corresponded with - and bought from. Fabulous people to a man (and woman).
