This years 2014 LWEShow is coming in just over a month . I am busy
organizing pens ,making pens and generally getting excited. Joanne
and I are leaving in mid Sept., the Show is Sunday Oct.5,2014. at
Bloomsbury Holiday Inn.
Here are some photos of the LWEShow from 2012, showing my table and
others. The photos are in no particular order.
It was so busy neither Joanne or I had a chance to take many
pictures . The last shots were of me setting up before the show
started. It started to get busy as soon as the other dealers
arrived. Then at 10:00 AM the doors open to the public and then let
the fun and games begin. The public is comprised of a mixture of
knowledgeable collectors and enthusiastic beginners and all those in
between.
There are many serious collectors looking for valuable limited
editions or rare vintage pens. Plus people like me, just looking for
a good everyday writer or two,or three or...?! Prices can be very
high to very reasonable. If you look there are lots of bargains and
parts pens to be had. I do very well with my bag lots.
I love seeing a room full of British and European pens! Of course
the American Australian and Canadian made vintage pens abound in
great numbers also. If you are near by you don't want to miss this
annual show which is held the first Sunday in October every year.
Most people come from all over Britain, Europe, USA. and South
America and Asia. I appear to be the lone Canuck dealer; but there
are a few fellow Canadians in the public crowd.
This show is
lots of fun and very busy!
I hope many Pentracers can attend this years show Sunday Oct.5,
2014. We will take some photos at the show and post them on Pentrace
later in the day if our local Pub still has WiFi, our flat alas does
not. Eight weeks with no WiFi dear oh dear what will we do? Same as
every time ...enjoy the sights!
Cheers, Glenn
