Hi Dreek, thanks for the mention but I’m just too far away to collect. The charity is being restructured so not sure about the craft side of things at present. I still do things as fundraisers & forward funds to the charity but I can’t speak for anyone else.

Barry the world is full of jerks and cheap ones at that. We ran into people that placed no value on pens when we sold and I'm sure many that turn have too. I don't let those comments bug me since they are also the same people that are always looking for the cheapest of everything and would probably be negative even if you were giving your pens away.

Now wanting to pass on pen blanks to benefit the blind is a decent thing to do and I respect you for trying to do so. Good luck with your efforts.

Barry, I'm going to Baslow for a few days on the 18th March. I'm not sure where in Shropshire you are but would be willing to collect if you still have the corin and not too far. PM your post code and I'll see what the distances are.

Barry, Apologies for the delayed reply. Your over 2 1/4 hrs from where we're staying and I doubt head office would allow it. Do you have photos so we can have a look and maybe organise so to be posted?
