January meeting details

When: Thursday January 17 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm
(Don't worry if you're late---we usually start at around 6:30 pm)

Where: the KITSILANO branch of the Vancouver Public Library at 2425 Macdonald Street (between Broadway and West 8th), Vancouver, BC
The meeting will take place in the community/meeting room on the lowest level of the library's basement (this is where our club met in October). No food allowed, but covered drinks are ok.

Topic/Theme: Pocket Fountain Pens! (many thanks to Jerred for the topic/theme idea :)

Please bring your favourite smaller fountain pens (max. 2-3 pens per person, due to time constraints) to show our group. They can be modern fountain pens or vintage ones. If you don't have anything for the topic, don't worry---please come anyway and see what others have brought! Our secondary topic is always NEWEST ACQUISITIONS (pen-related)---eg. new pens/inks/paper/pen cases/other accessories/etc--- so if you have any you wish to show, please bring them with you.

Oh, and here are a couple of recent(ish) articles about fountain pens that you might find interesting:

Hope you can make it to our first meeting of 2019! No need to RSVP for this meeting or any other not held at a restaurant.
