Please. What does FOG stand for?
I'm fairly new to this. Do I need to visit the site regularly to learn about the contests or revise email settings?? I just might enter next time. Thanks

As answered FOG "Found On Ground"

As with all forum based sites on the internet if you want to stay apprised to what is happening on the site you need to visit us. We do not visit you :D The Bash party has been talked about many times here over the year and more so in the closing months as we get closer. If you are truely into pen turning you are missing out by not stopping by and partaking. Lots of good info. No there is no emails going out. No other forum does that either that I know of. If you left your email address in the info page, you will get a message if someone sent you a PM, private message. This happening to be the 20th year anniversary of the site's existence was one reason we did this. The lack of participation is causing concern to if and when we will do this again. We use to do this every year and at times twice a year with a summer version. But that has stopped too.

Running contests is a small way in which I can give back to the IAP. I've had the blessing of having lunch with Jeff a couple of times and running a contest is a small way of expressing my appreciation of the work he does on behalf of pen turners. I have learned so much from this site and am glad to participate.

Thank you Steve and all who made this possible. I wanted to show a little more of where the pen came from. Thank you to all who voted for my pen.
