Basically we all throw our names at the organiser. They pull the names out if a hat and pair you up with someone else. You both turn a pen, pop it in the mail and make the swap. Most I have been involved with often includes throwing a few blanks in (purely up to the entrants to converse/organise that bit) but it's a great way to push your ability knowing another pen turner will be cherishing one of your works.

It's a really enjoyable and rewarding experience I have found and look forward to it every year.

Alas I can't help out with the organisation due to lack of time but I'll certainly be entering
