Hi Marcin,

Yes there are a few meteorite societies, in the world. Even so, most
collectors still don't belong to any societies at all.

 We formed the British and Irish Meteorite Society, because it seems
meteoritics in the UK and Ireland is not being promoted very well at
all. This is particularly sad, because Britain has played such a major
role in meteorite science since the early days!

 The society's aims are the promotion of meteorite study and collecting
(educating people about them), bringing collectors together and also
hopefully finding some new falls in Britain and Ireland, this can only
practically be achieved by having a society based in the UK.

Besides all that, it's a great way of bringing collectors together to
exchange interests! ...

Best,
Mark Ford
