    Default Sussex Calling

    Hello From England

    A lurker with a small collection of pens - Pilots (CH 823, CH 92 and Falcon) , A Franklin Cristoph 02 with the music nib and various Noodlers and TWSBIs (Eco and 580) - A fan of demonstrators and probably an Ink addict who can never make up my mind what ink to use which explains the demonstrators and why I've so many TWISBI ECO's - 4 at the last count

    Hello back. The vintage pen pool will alter your mind...in a good way! If you can get up to London for the regular pen group meeting you'll be able to try a few pens before spending.

    I found 19th-century dip pens on Tarrant Street when I used to live in Arundel.

    Hello from Texas, USA.

    What a good introduction. And as a vintage fountain pen "addict" I can point you towards Deb of Goodwriters to find your Onoto Vacuum

    Welcome to FPG.

    I am a regular at the London Meeting and the next meeting should be this Saturday coming. Let me know if you are coming and I'll bring a couple of Onotos (and inevitably some Swans) for you to try.

    Thank you for the offer but I can't make it this weekend , in Brighton that day to see Patti Smith (another non-ink addiction) - Is there an address and time for future meetups (I'm guessing its 1st Saturday of the month ) ?

    The meetings are always the first Saturday except in October where the meeting takes place on the Sunday of the London Writing Equipment Show. We meet at The Bierschenke, a German beer-house which is located on Blomfield St London EC2. We meet at midday when the doors open.
