>  ENSISHEIM ?METEORITE 2013? NEWS
>  (January 26, 2013)
>
>  Dear meteorite friends & Meteorite-Central List
>
>  Please find here the preliminary news concerning the 14th edition of
>  our meteorite show ?Ensisheim-Meteorite 2013?, expecting this will
>  reach you in time before you start the next ?Tucson blast? where most
>  of you who live ?overseas? (and from the vast world as well) will
>  gather soon.
>
>  This info completes the official flyer that will be ready in a couple
>  of weeks and that I will be glad to forward you individually, upon
>  request.
>
>  Further show details will be also sent to the List in a couple of
>  months, as every year. Here are just the main changes useful for those
>  wishing to book tables and foresee specific arrangements.
>
>  SHOW DATES:
>
>  Saturday June 22 (9:30-18:00) and Sunday June 23 (9:30-16:00), 2012
>  (the weekend preceding the ?Mineral & Gem? show that is held in Ste
>  Marie-aux-Mines, relatively nearby (~ 80 km), with Friday June 21 as
>  the ?dealer?s day?).
>
>  SHOW LOCATION:
>
>  Exceptionally this year, THE SHOW LOCATION MUST BE CHANGED!
>
>  Indeed, the famous Regency Palace which is the usual and unavoidable
>  place to set the show, is subject to heavy works that unfortunately
>  will not be completed by the due date.
>
>  While the external buildings are expected to be reconditioned, the
>  interior halls will by no means be accessible in June: all the rooms
>  and corridors will be restored and repainted while an elevator (lift)
>  will be built so as to facilitate the rise and handling of your heavy
>  meteorite boxes in future. (Hey, never worry, the famous medieval
>  spiral staircase will stay untouched).
>
>  Naturally in 2014, for the 15th Anniversary of the show coinciding
>  with the 30th Anniversary of the Confraternity of Guardians creation,
>  a brand renovated Regency Palace will welcome you again!
>
>  For 2013 (only) we have obtained another separate building called
>  ?FOYER St MARTIN?, which is located quite close (about 350 m) to the
>  Regency palace, and just separated from the ?Domaine du Moulin? hotel
>  by the main street (distance ~150 m).
>
>  You can find the place, the building picture and the access map in the
>  following link:
>
>   
> http://www.jds.fr/agenda/manifestations/expo-bourse-aux-meteorites-2013-a-ensisheim-53539_A
>
>  The ?Foyer? consists in one large 18.6 x 12 meter room, resembling the
>  Regency main hall, though larger.
>  The usual 160x80 cm tables will be arranged similar to the Regency
>  arrangement, namely all around the walls and also arranged in a
>  ?middle square?.
>  The daylight basically comes from the glass ceiling, and will provide
>  a uniform illumination (personal lighting is always allowed). This
>  means that the characteristics (light etc) of every place in the hall
>  will be practically the same.
>
>  A small bar, dressing room, telephone room, restrooms ? are adjacent
>  to the main hall.
>  Opposite the entry is a podium accessible from both hall sides by 2
>  staircases. The podium will host the genuine Ensisheim meteorite in
>  its display window, the thematic exhibit (Meteorites from Antarctica ?
>  see below) and the consignment room, all visible from the main floor.
>
>  3 doors on the west side lead to a large terrace (18x8 m) where at
>  least 4 tents will be erected, each containing 4 dealer tables.
>
>  The terrace itself adjoins a large park providing all the usual
>  facilities (tables for food, leisure, snacks, tent for dinner party,
>  enthroning ceremonies, Friday friendly drink, every day drinks, music,
>  beverage bars, dance?).
>  In fact, all what was set on the Regency main square will be shifted
>  to that park next to the ?Foyer? terrace.
>  The other advantage of the park is presence of TREES that could be a
>  welcome protection against the hot June sunlight.
>
>  In summary, the whole show and all its usual accessories are shifted
>  by 350 m from the Regency palace buildings, totally condemned during
>  works. The usual restaurants (e.g. ?Boeuf Rouge?) are of course
>  permanently open.
>
>  TABLE RENTING AND RESERVATION
>
>  Friday June 21st is the "DEALER?S DAY" devoted for tables/booth set
>  up. The Foyer room and tents are exclusively open to dealers (14:00 -
>  18:00), and NOT to the public. Gathering in the park is scheduled for
>  everybody (dealers & invited) for 18:15 when the enthroning ceremonies
>  followed by the traditional friendly drink start.
>
>  The total number of tables remains limited to about 55. (about  
> 45-50 dealers).
>  Price is per table, NOT per meter: unchanged since many years
>  (recalled in the future flyer).
>
>  TABLE RESERVATION PROCEDURE.
>
>  Just write me! (mail is the most reliable contact, phone being not
>  recommended).
>  My mail remains unchanged:
>  ?Zelimir? <Zelimir.Gabelica at uha.fr>
>
>  TABLE AVAILABILITY.
>
>  All former dealers have full priority to reserve their last year
>  table(s). More precisely, for 2013, this reservation concerns the
>  NUMBER of tables, not their precise LOCATION.
>
>  Indeed, you guess that the table allocation, as set in the Regency
>  palace, will be substantially perturbed (though I?ll try to roughly
>  follow their traditional array).
>  The main hall will now contain more tables than the Regency main hall,
>  while some of the dealers previously located in the adjacent Regency
>  rooms will be relocated either within the main room or in the terrace
>  tents.
>
>  For now, I recommend EVERYBODY reserves again ASAP their tables
>  (please specify the total number of tables and the names of ALL
>  persons occupying the said table (ideally max. 2 persons per table).
>
>  For now, thus before we arrange the floor plan, just specify where you
>  prefer to be located: MAIN HALL or TENTS.
>
>  Bear in mind that a tent contains 4 tables so it is preferred you
>  arrange in advance with other people wishing to share with you the
>  same tent so as to reserve in total 4 tables, not more, not less.
>  Without such arrangements the organizers reserve the right to
>  attribute the layout of places (in tents and in the hall) in the most
>  convenient way so as to meet as many wishes as possible.
>
>  Important for table attribution:  as always, ?first come, first served?.
>
>  IMPORTANT CALL TO OUR FORMER GUESTS:
>
>  Those who did not yet send their traditional "hello, please can you
>  reserve my ?x? tables", are urgently encouraged to confirm (or cancel)
>  their reservation.
>
>  As per today, nothing is reserved so far for anyone so from now on,
>  the reservations can start!
>  It is also better to hurry to reserve if you want to come again, as we
>  already have newcomers on a waiting list!
>
>  FOOD AND DINNER PARTIES
>
>  The traditional FRIDAY DINNER PARTY starts at 20:00 inside the large
>  tent set in the park.
>  This party is now becoming UNAVOIDABLE (meaning it is more than  
> recommended).
>  It is there that folks from all around the vast world meet, eat and
>  drink (more info to be forwarded later) but also make friends, set
>  business, start deals?.
>  Needless to say, everybody is warmly welcome!
>  If you want to attend let me just know in due time the total number of
>  guests attending so that we can fully meet all your commitments, needs
>  and comfort. This reservation being a must, I will recall you this in
>  due time.
>
>  The SATURDAY DINNER (not official but strongly recommended to all
>  participants) can either take part inside the large tent set in the
>  park or ?anywhere else?.
>
>  - In the park, either inside the tent or around the umbrella (or
>  tree)-covered tables (about 6 chairs per table), you may order the
>  current meals also served during the day, thus "tarte flamb?e",
>  various snacks, cakes + "selected liquids", but also special show
>  menus to be specified later.
>
>  - Regarding ?anywhere else?, we specifically recommend the option that
>  had met a significant success since some time: go to the restaurant
>  "Le Boeuf Rouge" located ~250 m from the park where the meals are
>  proposed as always "? la carte" at very friendly prices.
>
>  SHOW THEMES:
>
>  Main theme: ?METEORITES FROM ANTARCTICA?
>  Side theme: to be specified later.
>
>  Then main theme implies an exhibit of meteorites from Antarctica.
>  Should you have in collection some (yes, really?), this is a call for
>  samples?.
>
>  Anyway, the main exhibit will involve original Antarctica meteorite
>  samples coming from the ?Free Brussels University? (ULB) collections,
>  curated by Miss Vincianne DEBIENNE.
>
>  Vincianne DEBIENNE, professor in geology in ULB, is right now heading
>  an international expedition in Antarctica with the aim of, among other
>  activities, collect meteorites!
>
>  She will stay there for 2+ full months.
>  From the news we currently receive from her ?life?, their collecting
>  proved extremely fruitful. Most of the samples collected are being
>  preliminary analyzed on site and will be further stored in Brussels on
>  the return of the expedition, scheduled for mid February.
>
>  Vincianne not only promised to exhibit in Ensisheim in premium the
>  most interesting meteorite samples collected during the expedition
>  team but kindly accepted to give us an extremely stimulating talk
>  (slide-show) entitled:
>
>  ?Search for Meteorites in Antarctica: an Expedition to the Ends of  
> the Earth?
>
>  ACCOMMODATION
>
>  The 4 traditional hotels will be mentioned in the flyer with full
>  contact data. You can also browse through the Ensisheim web site:
>  www.ville-ensisheim.fr
>  You can also use ?Ensisheim + meteorite? as keywords on ?Google? or alike.
>
>  For memory, the nearest hotel is still the "Domaine du Moulin", the
>  other options being ?Les Loges de l?Ecomus?e ?, the "Niemerich" hotel
>  in Pulversheim and the "Cheval Blanc"  in Baldersheim.
>
>  IMPORTANT:
>  Everybody must arrange for his own accommodation! If you call, they
>  all do speak English and German
>  All hotel data (phone, fax, e-mail, web sites) will be available on
>  the flyer or are on the web. You can also contact me any time for
>  details.
>  ---------------

>  With welcoming everybody to attend again (or for the first time) the

>  place, I am now looking forward to having news from many of you and
>  remain at your disposal to provide you with any kind of additional
>  information.
