Any NJ pen clubs?

[LMpensandthings]

Hi there! 

 

Not sure if this is the right place - but I was wondering if there are any NJ based pen clubs?

 

I know of Big Apple Pen Club just over the river in NYC - but was wondering if there is something on this side of the Hudson. 

 

Thanks for your time!

Howdy, was wondering the same thing (albeit a year later). Any new groups startup in Jersey?

There was a group in Cranford that had occasional meetings back in the mid 2000s, but they haven't been heard from recently, at least not here. 

 

The problem in NJ is the that there is sort of a psychic divide at I-78. Few people in the southern part of the state want to make the journey north, and vice-versa. Perhaps if there were a North NJ group, say around Montclair or somewhere in Bergen, and a southern group somewhere, it would probably go over better. 

 

I'd say have one in Central NJ, but as we all know such a place doesn't exist.  ☠️

True, a group basted in Morris county would be perfect for me 😋 but Montclair would also work. I saw GW pens (Woodstown NJ) wants to start up a South Jersey pen club but that's to far for me to go regularly. 

 

Central what? 🤔

Just found this forum - Somerville/Warren here! Maybe at least coffee, and it would be wonderful if someone could show me how to unstick a jammed nib?

Hey! I live in central NJ and can definitely confirm it exists! 🤣🤣🤣

I'd love for there to be a meetup somewhere easily accessible in the state.
