    Default Pen Club Information

    We (the membership committee) of the PCA is in the process of compile a database of pen clubs. If you are aware of a club in your area please drop me a line or post the details here. A little information about the club and how to contact the organizers is all we need to get your group entered. This need not be limited to North America, world wide clubs are welcome.

    The PCA (or at least me) hopes that this effort will help promote the clubs to possible members and serve as a directory should someone be traveling and 'need a fix' on the road.

    For example:

    Pan Pacific Pen Club (PPPC)
    Contact Todd Eberspacher (eberspacher@gmail.com)
    Dues are 30/calendar year
    3-4 organized meetings each year
    Members can buy, sell, trade and test pens at meetings which are held in a variety of places around the San Francisco Bay Area equally inconvenient for all members.

    OR

    Pen Posse Peter's Cafe (The other PPPC)
    Meets at Peter's Cafe in Millbrae just across the CalTrain and BART parking lot in Millbrae CA.
    No dues you just show up
    No set schedule. Watch the Pen Forums and FaceBook for meeting times, often held on very short notice.

    These clubs need not be limited to vintage pens, in fact most of what happens at The other PPPC is sharing pens, inks, paper samples, stories and milk shakes. Even you have a simple group that hangs out at a coffee shop and talks about annoying posts on FPG we want to include your information.

    Thank you in advance,

    Todd

    I will check with the guy who hosts our local and get info to you.

    BTW: you need to not use words like compline (near the beginning of your post), and ffs, I think you have a typo in your email address.

    Considering that the author of The Name of the Rose has just died, using "compline," admittedly in error, strikes me as only a venial sin. An understandable slip of the fingers.
