UK Pen Shows is a collaboration between Jeremy Collingridge and Ian Williamson. Both Jeremy and Ian are council members of the Writing Equipment Society and members of the 2007 & 2008 London Writing Equipment Show organising team.

The concept behind Provincial Pen Shows is to take “pens to the people” by providing small, intimate shows around the country, after all why should everyone have to travel to London for everything!

The concept was tested at the Midland Pen Show held in Lichfield in June 2008 and apart from making a substantial loss on the event it was considered by all to be a great success, so much so that we are organising the show again and adding another show to the diary. If 2009 goes well we will add more in the following year.
