Hi Graham, Matthias, list,

Sorry to reply so late. I was out of mail for almost 3 weeks.

Seems that the 2 web sites mentioned on the circular (also mentioned
heredown in your mail copies) do not work efficiently, or, with luck, can
be opened only sporadically. I tried right now both sites, without success...
Very sorry for that and I strongly hope these problems being solved in the
very near future.

Those interested in having the latest show news or details are free to
contact me any time and I'll send the circular as attachment (Graham, I'm
sending you all info off list right now)

Call to dealers and Friday dinner-party potential participants: Please let
me know or confirm your wish to attend either event, if not yet done.

Thanks much and best wishes,

Zelimir

>>
>>Dates:
>>June 16 and 17, 2007 (week-end preceding the St Marie mineral show).

>>
>>2007 theme:
>>Meteorites: weird shapes, internal beauties.
>>Illustrated by a dual lecture on Saturday by Z. Gabelica (?odd
>>morphologies??) & R. Warin (?Thin sections: open windows to cosmology?)
>>as well as by the usual permanent thematic exhibit: ?meteorite samples
>>involving unusual external shapes and strange sections? from private
>>collections??
>>(btw: we still need samples for display. Please contact me off list).
>>Alain Carion will exhibit in a side-window of the museum, in preview, a

>>
>>On Sunday, Nico Mettler (Winterthur, CH) will describe his recent 1000+

>>for Lybian Desert Glass (LDG) samples, through a lecture entitled ?LDG:
>>a quest for an enigma?.
>>The Regency walls will be decorated by original drawings of our young

>>
>>Friday PARTY:
>>As in 2006 a dinner-party (absolutely unavoidable!) is again
>>scheduled on Friday June 15 (from 19:00) at ?La Couronne? hotel, in
>>their outside resort (as in 2006, we have asked the weather to co-operate...).
>>Party can end any time.
>>Two special meals are proposed, 25 euro, everything included, except
>>beverage (hey, if beverage were included, bankrupt of ?La Couronne?
>>guaranteed!).
>>Everybody (organizers, dealers, close friends, ?loose? friends,
>>relatives, related?) attending (or not) the enthroning ceremonies
>>and the ?friendly drink? that follows (Friday late afternoon,
>>about 18:00), is welcome!
>>Fun guaranteed! (Ask the 70+ last year participants!).
>>And ask for a wake-up call if you don?t want to miss the start of the
>>?meteorite hot rush? the next morning?
>>
>>Other meals:
>>Saturday and Sunday lunches (served at ?La Couronne?) and the Saturday
>>dinner (traditional ?roasted wild boar? served on the main ?dancing?
>>square) will now be prepared by the team of cooks from ?La Couronne?.
>>Friendly prices (17.5 euro for a complete menu) were negotiated.
>>If you want the special vintage ?Ensisheim-Meteorite 1492? Pinot Gris to
>>accompany your meals, it can be permanently available at its tag price.
>>
>>The Guardians Confraternity is still permanently providing all other
>>traditional snacks, including the very popular ?tarte flamb?e? (alsacian
>>pie), all served outside, on the main square (or inside
>>the sun-protected tent, - rain is neither invited nor envisaged).
>>All the other activities on the main square (beer, wine sale, beer, tee
>>shirts, beer?) are maintained.
>>
>>Accomodation:
>>Besides the 3 traditional hotels (Couronne, Niemerich, Cheval
>>Blanc), the brand new hotel ?Le Domaine du Moulin? is now open. It has
>>the ?La Couronne? standard (4 stars) and is as close to the "Regency"
>>(200 m ? or more, depending on how thirsty you were during the parties?).
>>I haven?t visited it yet but heard that a double room, breakfast
>>included, costs around 70-75 euro, a reasonable price even with the
>>stronger euro).
>>
>>5 new ?brothers?.
>>This year, Anne Black (US), Reiner Bartoschewitz (D, Gifhorn organizer)
>>& wife, Alex Seidel (D) and Serge Neunlist (F, our university president
>>and?new meteorite lover) will become the new Guardians.
>>(Gosh, I have the feeling having forgotten someone?)
>>
>>What is maintained in 2007:
>>Table prices, entrance fee (4 euro for adults), table number (limited to
>>55) and their positions in rooms, reservation procedure (just write me!)
>>and contacts. Also?Marcin?s cutting saw on the main square.
>>And the FUNNY (crazy ?) characteristic and ever smiling ambience, of course!
>>
>>What is not maintained:
>>Just meteorites sold in 2006.
>>Thus much, much new and hot (or cold!) stuff! I bet some of the beauties
>>to be offered are yet to be found?.We expect a great 2007 ?vintage?!
>>
>>Ensisheim meteorite repositories:
>>My recently updated compilation of Ensisheim meteorite repositories will
>>be distributed to all participants.
>>(hey, it is more than time to provide me the kilos you have hidden in
>>your collection!)
>>
>>Warning:
>>Many people did already reserve their tables by mail. I will now be
>>starting compiling their requests and finalize their places.
>>HOWEVER, as I had several periods of mail troubles, may I ask everyone
>>who did already reserve a table in the past, to CONFIRM
>>THEIR RESERVATION (mail) once again from now on ?
>>This is easier for me to handle, and safer for you.
>>
>>We still have free tables. I recommend you don?t reserve too late!
>>And our former guests who did not yet send their traditional
>>?hello?, are urgently requested to confirm (or cancel) their wish to
>>keep their usual tables at their favourite place.
>>
>>Web sites:
>>You note that a new private web site (see above) was just created (a
>>couple of days ago). The site of ?ville-ensisheim?, still mentioned on
>>the circular, will again be fully operating soon.
>>Very soon also you may find all the info related to the 2007 show at the
>>web site of Nick Gessler (UCLA), with whom close contacts are maintained.
>>
>>Memories:
>>My strong wish is to dedicate this 2007 edition to those people who
>>recently had health problems that perturbed their meteorite passion.
>>Here I mean Joel Schiff, Walter (and Rebekah) Branch, Iris Lang, Walter
>>Zeitschel and a few others (I have not here my complete list). I hope
>>our thoughts will help them to recover even more promptly.
>>And I also wish we all bear in our memories the late Rolf B?hler,
>>outstanding meteorite lover and personal friend of many of us, me
>>included. Rolf deceased 2 years ago but the sad news just came a few
>>weeks ago?.
>>
>>Well, that?s about all folks.
>>There is much more to be said but I prefer you now ask specific questions.
>>
>>My last wish is that Ensisheim, just as all the other, at least
>>as famous shows or events closely or subtly related to our
>>beloved meteorites (Gifhorn, Tucson, Santa Mesa, Munich, Ste Marie?.)
>>bring to all of us again passion, fun,
>>meteorite faith (Ruben, Sonny?never loose it!) and friendship (you want
>>my secret, though probably completely unrealistic dream ?...it is to see
>>Mike and Mateo drinking a beer together one year in Ensisheim?...even if
>>not at the same table!).
