19th “ENSISHEIM METEORITE 2018” show news (Feb 18, 2018) 

Dear meteorite friends, members of IMCA & Meteorite-Central List, 
Please find preliminary news mainly concerning the new place of the 2018 show. 

As it was already informally announced last June in Ensiheim, confirmed to many 
of you on a leaflet distributed at the Munich Mineral show last October, and 
also officially announced this year in the 2018 calendar of world mineral shows 
in the Lapis journal January issue and on a separate Lapis booklet, our 19th 
meteorite show edition had to be tentatively shifted to another building, due 
to important works in the Regency palace where an elevator (lift) is to be 
built. These works will start in the forthcoming weeks and should last at least 
one year. 

The address of the new (provisional) show hall is :
 
Gymnase Communal, Rue de Colmar, F-68190 ENSISHEIM. 

To satisfy many inquiries regarding the precise location of the new show hall, 
here are more details. 

The new building is located in the middle of a large park, about 450 m (« as 
the crow flies”) from the Regency palace. 
Roughly when you reach “downtown Ensisheim”, drive straight through the main 
street (“Rue de la première Armée”), ignore the Regency palace and the “Domaine 
du Moulin hotel” that are on your right, cross the bridge and proceed straight 
200-250 m through “Rue de la Gare” up to the first large roundabout (traffic 
circle) where you take the 3rd exit, Rue de Colmar, thus on the left from “Rue 
de la Gare”.
 
The entrance is immediately on your left and you can enter by car the large 
yard (which is surrounded by “Rue de la Gare” and “Rue de Colmar”). 
You will spot 2 main buildings, the “Gymnase” (show hall) and the “Elisatia” 
building (restaurant, lecture rooms etc)”. 
Park the car at the appropriate places indicated by signs and located around 
the buildings, (parking space is large enough). 
In case, I can provide a detailed map as mail attachment, on request; just ask. 

The next concern of many of you is the table setup and the dealers layout. 
The “Gymnase Communal” involves a large 40 x 20 m sports hall where all the 
tables will be aligned in (most probably 4) parallel rows in a way equivalent 
to the Munich show halls. All tables are therefore equivalent and equally 
enlightened by natural sunlight through roof windows. 
I will try to arrange the tables’ layout as it was in the main Regency room, 
respecting as much as possible the presence of the usual neighbors in each 
case. 
There is space enough to accommodate all the 2017 participants and even to add 
a few extra tables for possible newcomers, understanding that we do not wish to 
overstep 55-60 tables. 

The table renting conditions stay roughly the same as last year. The food and 
lecture spaces are by far improved and much free space is now available for 
side activities within the shadowed park around the show buildings. 

Finally Ensiheim show dates are scheduled, as usually, the week preceding the 
Ste-Marie Mineral & Gem show, thus: 

- Professional day: Fri. June 15: 13:00–18:00 
- Public: Sat. June 16: 9:30–18:30 and Sun. June 17: 9:30–16:30 

More news will be provided soon after we have a committee meeting this late 
February. 
From now on, you are free to officially apply for your booth (write to me, 
preferably by mail, as I am currently very seldom available on phone). 

Thank you for your constant interest for our event! 

My ever friendly regards to everybody. 

Zelimir
