London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering

[migo984]

So, who is coming on Saturday? More to the point, who is bringing new pens and inks to play with?

Unfortunately Micky is still recovering (she is doing very well btw) from the surgery and I am still attending the German classes so this month's meeting might probably be another one that we will miss.

Hi Rui,

Give our love to Micky and wish her well from us.

M & M xx

So long as recovery is uneventful, it is good news. Please give her my best wishes.

I wish we could be there this Saturday to see all you lovely Geeks - and all your goodies of course lol. We miss you guys.

We miss you too - but it won't be long until you are back (no doubt with more ink )

Wow Marisa! I can see you went ink-crazy on your trip. Your Japanese ink stash is starting to get as bad as mine

I can see some of my favourites there - especially the P & M/Writing Lab Old Burgundy & Vintage Denim. Fabulous inks.
Which Kobe inks did you get? And only one solitary little Kingdom Note?

And is that the Narita TN?! I'm really really jealous. I'd love one of those. One day, maybe..........

• Takashimaya Indigo

Glad to hear the surgery went well, get well soon!

Nothing wrong with a good pencil - it's all about the right tool for the job.

Small request: I think I left my nib fettling kit at the pub at the last meet. If anyone found it/ or finds it, could you drop me a PM?

Thanks,

Annie

For a change, I'll see you people tomorrow.

Hey guys,

I thought it would be nice to design our very own fountain pen club stamp and seal.
There is a choice between rubber and brass and the designs sized 25x25mm and 50x50mm.

I have already taken some orders from the Reddit crowd yesterday at the meet and the Mon-style in brass is the most popular at the moment.
Please PM me if you want to make an order and don't forget choose your handle colour for the 25x25mm brass seal. The brass seals are expected to take up to 3 weeks so I would like to send off the request on Wednesday.

The brass seals shipped on Wednesday, exciting! I'll let you guys know the final total after I (probably) get stung by some VAT

[Cob]

Terribly sorry; I am going to have to miss Saturday again. it has been rather a busy year and I have been called away once again.

I hope to be able to see you all again in September.

Best regards to all

Unfortunately on our side we also would not be coming to London on Saturday as we will be away for the weekend.

Have fun at the meeting.

I have managed to obtain a pass out, so will be there on Saturday.
