First Blog Entry

Oh well here we go then, the first entry into the mighty Worcester Pen Company blog.I'm not sure if anyone will want to read the ravings of a lunatic pen maker but I suppose I will have to make a start somewhere.
Nice to see RogerB on the Fountain pen network is praising the Worcester Pen Company and the Sentinel fountain pen with it's "butter smooth nib" (RogerB's words) another satisfied customer.
I'm busy in the studio workshop at the moment as I'm trying to get as much stock completed to take with me to the gift show at the Sunday Times Oxford literary Festival next Sunday April 5th.It will be interesting to see how Worcester Pen Company performs at a more up-market show.Especially in these economic climes.I wonder if I'll sell more fountain pens compared to ball pens.Do book fans use fountain pens? I hope they do.
A lot more preperation for a week or two until the nice Northern Pen Show at Lytham-St.Annes, on 26 April.I'm looking forward to this very friendly show.I will be staying overnight in Lancashire,before going on to the show.It will be good to meet up with Alan Lloyd and the usual pen crowd.Hopefully Worcester Pen Company will have a good pen show,and perhaps have even better sales then last year. Worcester Pen Company is donating a Regal fountain pen to the winner of the childrens hand-writing contest.I wonder what colour and style the winner will choose?
