[meteorite-list] Morocco Show 2011

[Greg Hupe]

Hello All,

I've just returned from two weeks of enjoying the Ensisheim and St. Marie 
shows. I was able to meet up with some old friends and meet some of those 
who I have only met through emails and phone calls over the years. If you 
haven't attended one of these shows yet, make sure it is on your long term 
"To-Do" list, especially the Ensisheim Show (in my opinion), always great to 
meet up with our friends from overseas!!

I would like to inform everyone of the "1st International Mines Show" to be 
held in Midelt, Morocco May 29-June 6, 2011. The main sponsor is a highly 
respected professional from Midelt and is not a List subscriber so I thought 
I would help spread the word. This is a great opportunity for meteorite 
folks; from collector/dealers who have been around a while to the new 
fledgling dealers, those who have been to Morocco 40 times, 4 times or no 
times. This will be a great event to meet those dealers in person with whom 
you have only contacted through emails or over the phone. There will be 
meteorites, minerals, fossils...and I am sure plenty of sugar-laden tea, 
couscous and other assorted local staples.

I am seriously considering reserving a space at the show to bring classified 
NWA meteorites that have been prepared and present to the Moroccan & 
International collectors who are sure to attend this first-time event in 
Midelt. How cool will it be to bring back to Morocco the very stones I hand 
carried out of the desert over the last 10 years, kind of full circle! 
Speaking of collectors, it was nice to see a couple of Moroccan dealers at 
the St. Marie show purchase some kilos of the new Egyptian iron to offer to 
their Moroccan collector friends as they explained to me. They were pretty 
excited to be the first to offer them there.

Here are a couple of photo links to the "1st International Mines Show" flyer 
distributed at the St. Marie show, be sure to mark your calendars!
