London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering

[Adrian]

Do you know that the famous speech in Macbeth with the witches is really about diarising. In the inimitable words of My Humphries from Are you being Served "I'm Free!". Gotta find a day with Rui.

FIRST WITCH
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

SECOND WITCH
When the hurly-burly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.

THIRD WITCH
That will be ere the set of sun.

FIRST WITCH
Where the place?

SECOND WITCH
Upon the heath.

THIRD WITCH
There to meet with Macbeth.

I can make the 7th June but won't be going to the Midland show.

[View from the Loft]

I've lost track here.

Are we meeting up this Saturday (7th June), or the 21st?

[RuiFromUK]

This month's meeting is planned for the 7th of June.

Unfortunately I'll not be there so I'll catch up with you people next month.

[DavidDecorator]

Definitely the 7th.

[View from the Loft]

Excellent, see you in the usual spot at noon then.

[RuiFromUK]

The best news I could receive has just come in: the planned trip this weekend has been cancelled.

Guess where am I going to be on Saturday at 12pm? Answers on a postcard please.

Also please let me know if you would like me to take anything with me.

Hullo.

What and where is The Hole? And should I attend?

Cob

The Coal Hole is on the Strand in London about across the road from Stanley Gibbons. If you need more information let us know.

And yes, if you can make it, you should attend as I have now decided to take some Swan pens with me to show the others.

[View from the Loft]

Excellent news Rui.

I'll have some more small samples of ink looking for new homes again.

Cob, it will be good if you can join us. But be warned - none of us will stop you from buying more pens, inks or paper

If you happen to have some of the Cult Pens deep dark colours I wouldn't mind to try them out (except the purple one which I already have in one of the pens I am taking with me on Satuday, a gift from Jeph here in the forum).

Sounds good. I suppose I'd better bring a couple myself then and maybe a couple of others.

Hoping to see you there.

There is a high probability that purchases of pens, ink and paper might accelerate from then on... don't say you have not been warned.

Also if Annie is around she is always happy to help other members in nib tunning or make impossible nibs work again.

I really believe that I am going to enjoy this!

Thanks again.

I'm going to try to get there again on Saturday, at least for a couple of hours or so. Hope to see you there.

[DavidDecorator]

Sorry but I won't be able to make Saturday after all due to illness. Have a good time without me though.

Hi David,

I am sorry to hear that. Hopefully nothing too serious and a very fast recovery.

Kind regards,

Rui

Afraid not. I'd like to try them as well, but I really must use up and share out my existing samples first. I am overwhelmed by choice at the moment.

[DavidDecorator]

Eureka I can breathe again so I'll be there Saturday I've been spectacularly out of breath these past few days.
