2010 Melbourne Pen Show
I'm not sure how many Melbournians (or even Australians) we have in this sub-forum, but the 2010 Melbourne Pen Show is this Sunday.
www.melbpenshow.com.au for details. I'll be there as a member of the Melbourne Pen Club, displaying a selection of my pens. EIther this: ...or this... |

I'll attend but probably won't show my pens. Mine's just a bit here and there only.

Showing off your collection is just for those who are there specifically to do so. You'll also get the chance to buy pens (which are for sale, not those in collections!), so be sure to bring some cash if you intend to buy some pens.

Oh no a green straited 149 I presume, you can tell me all about it on Sunday at the Pen GTG.
All you guys from the USA, you had better jump on a plane now to make it on time this Sunday morning here in sunny Melbourne

Very cool, thanks for sharing and congrats on the new pieces!
Lots of neat looking pens there...would've been fun to see in person. Hmmmmm...never been to Australia, perhaps I'll have to add it to the 'must visit' list.

Thanks - I was there and my camera had no battery.
Anyway, good to meet with a number of pen friends to put a face behind the avatar. I didn't buy much, just a couple bottles of inks and a ink stain remover. |
