Greetings,

 

For some time there have been backchannel requests to split English pens from the general European Forum.  Within that forum  English pens, Pelikans and Montblancs do dominate.  In general, I've wanted to  keep the main forum page simple, as free of clutter as possible.  

 

Still, with a recent uptick in FPB activity, this seems a good time to test a  forum specifically for English pens:  Conway-Stewart, Onoto, Mabie Todd (English branch), Burnham, etc.

 

I hope the benefit  this focused forum provides overcomes  the additional clutter to the main forum page. Do let me know your take.

 

Those who follow this UK Pen Forum as well as the main European Pen Forum, please do peruse both fora and let me know if any threads are found in the wrong spot.  Some of the thread titles might have given me poor guidance when I moved threads to this new Forum.

 

Now, we've built it.  Let's see if anyone plays.

 

best regards

I think this is a good idea.  May I suggest that "Conway Stewart" be removed from the subtitle to the "Other European and Asian pens" forum?

Excellent, thank you David, I hope it leads to more active participation from UK visitors!!

 

I've listed links to some of the other topics from the European forum that should be moved over here when you have the chance

Thanks very much, David.  We've never had an active, dedicated forum for British pens in any of the other pen fora.  This should be good!

I'm delighted as well as I have lots of British pens CS, MT, Burnham and even Parkers.  As well as lesser known makes such as Jewel and National Security and no doubt others I can't bring to mind.

Somewhere we can mutter about Wyverns without people thinking we are referring to demons, dragons or whatever !
