More photos from our 200th meeting! (at Buchan's in November)

(** Part 1 of the photos were posted here**)

As mentioned in December 7th's blog post, our November meeting (held at Buchan's Kerrisdale Stationery) was actually our pen club's 200th 🎉😄 ! Yugo at Buchan's posted a great Instagram video about the event, and then was kind enough to send me the photos he took that night. Without further ado, here they are...

That's Asifa (left) with Buchan's owner Inna -- thank you again, Inna, for hosting our meeting! :)

Alvin was one of the five winners of a Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Nr.1 "Mix & Match" ballpoint in the door prize draws! Buchan's recently became one of Leuchtturm1917's Canadian flagship stores, so the company generously provided some of the evening's prizes to celebrate the occasion. The "Mix & Match" pens aren't available commercially--they were just a special promo--but you can buy the regular lineup at Buchan's!

Alvin and his wife Yen happily showing off their new Leuchtturm1917 goodies from Buchan's :)

(Above) Alvin putting together his custom-made Leuchtturm1917 "Mix &Match" ballpoint; I believe he selected a "Sage"-coloured barrel with a "Forest Green" end cap & nose cone - great choices!

There were also several door prizes by stilform (a German design company) donated by Buchan's, including two stilform writing instruments. Grant won a stilform pen, and the other stilform pen was won by Rumi!

The store was bustling with activity that night!

Our thanks, once again, to Inna, manager Irena, and the staff at Buchan's for making our 200th meeting so much fun!
