Pen Collector's Club in Houston

[sndeshpande]

Hi All,

 

Is there a Pen Collector's Club in Houston? I would like to know the contact details and membership info.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

I don't know of one, but I'd be interested if there was!

 

I did attend a small pen-show at Dromgoole's in the Rice University area earlier this month. They had a pen doctor there, fixing up nibs, etc., reps from Mont Blanc, Sailor, and Faber-Castel. There was even food and champagne! There is another even on Wednesday, May 28th at Dromgoole's, I think 5:30 to 8:00 or so, but they do run late. It'll be a different bunch of reps, and I don't know if the pen doc will be there, but, hey, its an event, in Houston, with pens!

At one time there was a very active Houston Pen Club. Seems to be less active, haven't heard much about this group past few years. As someone mentioned, check with the good folks at Dromgoole's, they would know. I still miss the Houston Pen Show from days gone by!

Also - If somebody wants to start a new one.... I will definitely be interested.

 

Thanks and regards

I did a quick google search and found this contact information on the Lone Star Pen Club -

If they are still active then it would make sense to join them rather than starting something new. I will try and contact them and post what I find on this forum.

Anything more current on Houston area shows or clubs?

Please do update us with whatever you find out. I drove over for a pen show there 6-7 years ago and had a lovely time visiting with everybody. I don't think that I have heard anything about any other meetings or shows in 2005 or 2006 maybe?

Any updates on Houston?

Has there been any update on this? As far as membership to the Lone Star Pen Club goes?
