[meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2016 news
Dear Meteorite-Central List, IMCA members and all meteorite friends, As already announced on the leaflets distributed last November in the Munich show, now that the “St George Brotherhood of the Ensisheim Meteorite Guardians” was officially dissolved in February this year, the 2016 Ensisheim meteorite show will be organized on the same basis as last year, namely by the recently created “Association of Friends of the Ensisheim Meteorite” and under the auspices of the “ City of Ensisheim” and of the “ Ensisheim Federation of Associations”. Please find here preliminary news concerning this 17 th edition of the show. The place (Regency Palace in Ensisheim), the dates (the week preceding the Ste Marie show, namely from Friday June 17 to Sunday June 19, 2016), as well as the usual hall table arrangements, remain unchanged. Opening hours: Saturday: 9:30-18:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 7:30). Sunday: 9:30-16:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 8.00) The total number of dealer tables is limited to 58 (52 “regular” and 6 “window-tables” in the consignment room). All tables are equal in size (160 x 80 cm – note the large size). The price per table (not per meter), was slightly increased with respect to 2015, namely: 1 table = 170 euro; 2 tables = 320 euro; 3 tables = 450 euro; 4 tables = 600 euro….) All past dealers/guests have full priority to reserve their last year table(s). Those who did not come last year (2015) had lost their priority and should be considered as “newcomers”. For the 2016 booking, we urgently ask our regular guests to do that ASAP, preferably before the end of April 2016 (slightly flexible deadline). However, if you already had reserved “implicitly” or “think that you have reserved”, please APPLY AGAIN (E-mail me in a couple of words) and confirm your table(s). If you can’t make it this year, please notify me that you want to cancel. This is very important and absolutely needed for me to readily assign tables to those who are on the waiting list. The organizers will attribute to the newcomers the layout of places within any of the 3 halls in the most appropriate way so as to meet as many wishes as possible. Note that the 3 halls are all equivalent, as the public must inevitably walk through. Tables are attributed to newcomers, as always, on a “first come, first served” basis. For table reservation, just E-mail me (zelimir.gabel...@uha.fr) To avoid money transfer complications and bank fee, we accept you pay the table renting, cash. Tables are to be paid on Saturday morning between 7:30 and 9:30 to the treasurer, at the reception desk visible from the entrance door of the Regency building. Please prepare cash (preferred), though French checks are tolerated. Credit Cards are NOT accepted. To pay, the dealers and their assistants must wear their badges (or ask for at the reception desk). Badges are attributed on the following basis: 1 table reserved = 1 or 2 badges attributed; 2 tables, up to 3 badges; 3 tables, up to 4 badges, 4 tables, up to 5 badges… If more people are officially part of a table team, they can either be considered as “public” and pay 4 euro as regular entrance fee, or pay 10 euro that includes the entrance during the dealer’s day on Friday and a badge. For this being possible, I’ll need very soon the full names of all the dealers and their assistants, so we can prepare the corresponding badges in time. People without badges are not considered as dealers, can’t occupy tables, nor are allowed to sell meteorites elsewhere within the buildings or on the Regency square. Maps and traveling indications could be found soon on the Ensisheim city web site: www.ville-ensisheim.fr . The nearby hotels remain "Domaine du Moulin", “Les Loges de l’Ecomusée », "Niemerich" and "Cheval Blanc". More info about their location and characteristics (phone, fax, e-mail, web sites) are given on the official show flyer that is now ready and that you can find on the city web site from next Monday April 25. I can also send the flyer right now (mail) upon request. IMPORTANT: everybody must arrange for his own accommodation! If you call, they all do speak English and German. Friday June 17 is the "DEALER’S DAY" devoted for tables/booth set up. The Regency halls are exclusively open (13:30 – 18.00) to dealers wearing their badges, and NOT to the public. Note that dealers can also install their tables on Saturday morning (7:30 – 9:30) after having collected their badges at the reception desk (entrance of the Regency palace) and pay their tables to the cashier present on the desk, prior to climb the stairs. On Friday, after the Regency rooms closure (18:00 sharp), gathering on the main square in front of the Regency is scheduled for dealers, assistants and invited persons at about 18:15, to attend the welcome addresses and the induction ceremonies of the new Honorary Members of the “Frien
Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2016 news
That's great news Zelimir! Thank you for the confirmation of the continuation of the Ensisheim Show and for your dedication to keep the Ensisheim Show alive and growing!! As for the last near-decade of my attendance and showing in Ensi, please accept this as my life-long confirmation of my regular table, Mike Farmer's table since he's currently traveling and Moritz' table with whom I always group together each year to duplicate all of our confirmations! ;-) As having been honored as one of the Guardians of the Brotherhood of the Ensisheim Meteorite and winner of last year's first 'Thematic Exhibition' of the 'Best of the Best' personal collection specimens with my NWA 5000 main mass and slice, I fully encourage all in attendance to submit your very best! Last year was an incredible success and all of the items on display were simply amazing!! While it was a chore and quite the responsibility to personally carry and curate my NWA 5000 specimens around Europe for two weeks last year was a bit stressful, it was all worth the investment of time and money to share such treasures with those who truly appreciate meteorites like most all of us! Ensisheim is my favorite show of the year! If you have never attended yet, do so because you are missing out on what I refer to as, 'The Meteorite Family Gathering'. See you there!!

Thank you so much, dear Zelimir, for your relentless engagement concerning Ensisheim, meteorites, La Bourse and - yes indeed, Greg - toute la famille.
