[meteorite-list] Extremly necessary informations about the Ensisheim Meteorite Fair 2005 on behalf of Zelimir

[Christian Anger]

Hi all,

sorry about the overwhelmed subject, but I think it is more than worth it :

As our well known friend Zelimir Gabelica has troubles with posting to the
list (which seems to be a more and more common problem - hi Art...no critics
but a suggestion to check if viruses or worms cause this problem)
I am happy to announce in behalf of Zelimir the latest announcement of the 
Meteorite Fair in Ensisheim 2005 (which you all know about !!)

Here's what our friend Zelimir wants to tell you and us - and please read
carefully - or ... much better...BE THERE :

Hello List,

Here are some recent news about the forthcoming Ensisheim show.

1) Many of you asked questions about who will or will not be attending
Ensisheim and the Friday party.
So far, here is a tentative list of dealers and visitors that I know will be
here:

A) Dealers (with tables, in random order):
T. Dehner, P. Thomas/L. Dejouy, R. Motheau, P.M. Pelé/partner, B.Fectay/C.
Bidaut, M. Earnst (Direct Line Res.), M.Farmer/J. Strope, H. Koser, G.
Pacer, S. Haberer, C. Stehlin, A. & M. Hmani, U. Eger, J.L. Parodi/A.
Guesslain, M. Franco & Djellal, P. Kümmel, C. Boucher/F. Beroud, M. Cimala,
M. Altmann, G. & E. Moreau, S. Ralew, P. Marmet, J. Nauber, S. Vassiliev/M.
Karl, S. Afanasiev, S. Skorniakov, A. Andreev, D. & N. Kachalin, G. & L.
Tomelleri, S. & M. Derecki, G. Donin, A. Kammou, R. El Horr, H. Bakadir, M.
Garbaa, A. Junghans, "Club Astro" & J. Bisey (bookshop table).
Nick Gessler can't come but sent parcels full of material (basically
detecting material) that will be available for sale on a separate table.

Meteorites & related for sale on the consignment table, from: 
G. Heinen, C. Anger , A. Seidel (?), D. Heinlein (?), O. Turone, S. Valange,
TCU (Monnig coll. slices), 2 anonymous, Z. Gabelica, probably more

Could not come this year: Alain & Louis Carion, Nick Gessler (see above), A.
Alexevitch, S. Wibaux, A. Weissler.
Reserved then cancelled: Marcin Mackocki

Still awaiting news from Erich Haiderer (seems does not reply mails...can
someone help for contact ?) and from a couple of newcomers who are supposed
to confirm.
6 tables are therefore potentially free and there is a (not always
confirmed) waiting list. 
There still could be places for a couple of "late birds"....

B) Visitors: 
Among the few I know and who are currently reading the List posts, I note
(in random order) : Guy Heinen, Christian Anger, Hanno Strufe, Dean Bessey,
Anne Black, Alex Seidel, Herbert Raab (?), Albert Jambon, Hasnaa Chennaoui
(Nom Com committee), Harold Stehlik, Bernhardt Rems, Dominique Padirac,
Oscar Turone (??), Bernd Pauli (?), C. Heinlein, R. Haag (probable but... ?
- you know Bob!).
I for sure forgot many and there are even more from whom I did not hear so
far. Every other visitor is of course free to identify himself, if
appropriate.

2) In the consignment room the highlights this year are:
-  About a dozen of samples from TCU (with Monnig/D.New/A. Ehlmann labels). 
- Also anounced are (from an anonymous finder) several "giant" rounded
brillant black tektites of first quality from Paracale (Phillippines), of
more than 350-400 g, some quite over 500 g !). Anxious to see these, as
possibly many of you.

3) Please those who wish to participate to the Friday party and interfere
with most of the above people, confirm me (off list) your attending. We need
an as accurate as possible number of participants so as to reserve the
related number of meals. No need to tell me how many beers or special
vintage bottles you expect to drink....I guess you even don't know yourself.

4) Weather prediction (in case we could rely on a 10 days ahead
prediction...): mild (about 20-22°C), not the traditional heat wave, but no
rain...
But with these crazy recent weather variations, who can tell ? Don't blame
me if we have snow...or 37°C (as in late April here..).
I can also report refined prediction newt week.

Welcome to everyone, from here, from over there or (even better), from down
under ! (by the way, Joel Schiff, who "almost" came, is firmly expecting to
"make" it naxt year).

All my best wishes,

Zelimir



And a last word about my own presence :

I will display the mainmass of the new Maigatari-Danduma meteorite fall (see
metbull 89 prev.) and there are the last 3 fragments for sale.


best wishes from Zelimir and me,

Christian
