FLGAPG

[ladycop322]

I am still looking for a couple of demonstrators and vendors for the FLGAPG to be held on February 27/28, 2016 in Clearwater, Fl at the local Woodcraft Store!

Also, if you will be attending, please go to flgapg.com and pre-register. This is a free event, no registration fees. We would love to see you!

So far, there will be two vendors and three demonstrators. Day one we will learn about fountain pen maintenance and bottle cap casting. Day two will be on creating a kitless pen, casting stamps, and creating watch parts blanks.

There will be a pen swap, show off your pens time, open floor discussion and door prizes.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me through the website or at MLFCUSTOMPENS@gmail.com

It is also a great time of the year to see Florida, as the weather will be wonderful!

Thanks all! Hope to see you at the FLGAPG!!

Should be a lot of fun! I've made it to the MPG, MAPG, and now the FLGAPG.

I've already started working out my demos!

 

[jyreene]

Let me add a little regarding the area, it is 30 minutes to the beach areas in Clearwater, in addition Tampa is also very close with a great number of venues for the family, the seaport and aquarium for 2. The location is about a 1 hour drive to two of the larger outlet malls in the state something the S.O.s might appreciate lastly in the immediate area boast some excellent dining venues from fast food to Bascoms chop house and excellent dinning experience abet expensive a pleasant way for the family to have a great weekend.

Don't forget La Teresita for the best Cuban food.

 

[mredburn]

Tampa has a zoo and also Busch Gardens, and is only about 2 hours from Orlando

Would you believe that in order to go from Atlanta to Florida you have to go by way of Washington DC? No direct connection so I guess I'll drive.

In that case, Larry, you should take a shortcut through Maine and pick me up! :wink:

Larry:
You can fly direct from Atlanta to Melbourne Florida on Delta and then drive the 2 hours more or less to Clearwater.

I haven't flown since 1980s and I'm not about to start now.

 

[mredburn]

THe bus service isnt any better.
I think they have one bus that services all of Fl.

 

[suefox51]

I will be driving over from the "other" coast of Florida - if anyone needs to be picked up at the airport, I would be willing to help shuttle people to hotels.
Just a way to be able to assist this endeavor
