A small group of us have recently set up a pen club in the south of England for those not able/willing to make it in to London for the one there. It meets on the 3rd Saturday each month and presently is alternating between Fleet and Petersfield (though if numbers at Petersfield stay minimal we may make it just Fleet or look for another alternate).
Details can be found on FaceBook - the group is "UK South Fountain Pen Club Meet Up" with https://www.facebook...thfountainpens/ being the URL. Note it is a closed group so you need to search for it then apply for access (else anyone can see and post and potentially troll).
Yeah - also hard to cover such a large area as I know one person on here from Sevenoaks, and there's a few in East Anglia.
wish you luck - how can anyone 'leave Surrey', isn't it the centre of the universe.
Although closer than London it is still a bit far for me. Pity, it would have been great.
how much further south do you want them to be - Petersfield almost has it's toes in the water.
Before or after I've seen the pens sellers are bringing me to have a look at?
20 miles is too far???
Not to Petersfield but to Fleet.
But I am not available this month, nor November and then its Christmas.
Due to a lack of confirmed attendees, this month's meet (Saturday 20th) has been moved to The Heron on the Lake at Fleet. Hampshire. Will be ~12:00-15:00 and weather wise I suspect we'll now be inside.
This month's meeting is coming up this coming Saturday at The Heron on the Lake at Fleet, Hampshire.
Very sorry I won't be able to make it .... When's the one after?
Should be the 15th of December.
Woops, not this Saturday - next Saturday (15th).
Next meet of the club is this Saturday - 16th.
