Pelikan Hub 2017

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this year's events yet?

Nothing yet.

The last couple of Hubs have been in late September. Late September is about 6 months from now -- I don't recall how soon information about the Hubs was posted to the Pelikan website in past years.

The first year I went to one, I brought one of the small Pelikan pen stands (gold glaze) to preside over the festivities in the Pittsburgh Hub. Last year, that was joined by a mini "Lucky Cat" (complete with battery powered moving arm ). This year, assuming that there is one in Pittsburgh again, I will *also* have the small white Pelikan pen stand I got at Christmastime on my somewhat yearly pilgrimage to Fountain Pen Hospital.

I started seeing something around May lady year, so I did not want to miss it. And it's not too far from May.

It would be nice to have the Dallas Hub coincide with the Dallas Pen Show, as happened year before last, but that was just a happy accident.

The 2015 event was announced on May 12th. The 2016 event was announced on May 31st. I'd say that if they keep to the same time line, you should be hearing about it sometime this month but no news is available yet.

I will miss being at one. I was the inaugral Toronto Hub Meister but being in Saskatoon and Regina i believe the two cities combined lack the population to be a hub city. Have fun everyone.

I'd recommend that if you want your town to be a hug, have your entire club register the first few days and make sure someone volunteers to run it (be a hub master).

I'm trying to create a new hub in Salt Lake City, UT. Hopefully there are enough like minded people in the area to get something started.

Will register asap too! Did you volunteer for a hub master?

[TXKat]

Fuzzy...I'm registered as well! Texted the crew...

I did the same. As much as I enjoyed the LA Hub last year I don't think I'm up for 4 hours driving in traffic again.

I'll have to do some reading on what all is involved; hopefully there's one in Columbus. Cincinnati's on the list, but I don't drive.

Registered! This time I specifically picked San Jose CA rather than be "generalized" to Bay Area...though last year's Hub in San Fran did have a wonderful presentation by "Mr. Pelikan" Rick Propas!
