> Hi all,
>
> Myself, Graham Ensor and Luther Jackson have just returned from having
> a BIMS display at 'Meteorite day' at the Manchester Museum. We had an
> excellent time and were kept very busy all day. 'Meteorite day' was
> part of Manchester science week and took place during half term so
> there was a constant stream of eager children passing by our display.
> There was also a team from Manchester University with plenty of
> meteorite thin sections to look at and they were also conducting
> impact experiments and had a go at producing a live comet display.
> Great fun was had by everyone though we all now have very sore throats
> from non stop talking all day. We also ran a 'guess the meteorite'
> competition to win some meteorites which proved very popular :-)
>
> I will prepare a write up of our day as and when time allows but in
> the meantime i have uploaded some photos which can be seen at the link
> below:
