FINALLY!! The Ensisheim Show. A long message from Zelimir Gabelica, the
organizer of the Ensisheim Show. Yes there will be a Show in Ensisheim in June
this year, and here is all the information you need to visit, sell, or buy at
the Show:
“ENSISHEIM METEORITE SHOW 2022”GENERAL INFORMATIONShow dates & brief
scheduleAfter the cancellation of the show in 2020 and 2021 for Covid-19
pandemic problems, we have recently decided that the 21st edition of
“Ensisheim-Meteorite” show can be again held in the “Palais de la Régence”
which remains the forever show magical place. Tables re-arrangements have been
planned in the old Regency building and within the annexed tent, in accordance
with the law on security distancing requirements.As already announced on small
leaflets distributed at the Munich Mineral Show last October, our Meteorite
show will be held as usually, the week preceding the Ste-Marie-aux-Mines
“Mineral & Gem” show:* Friday June 17: 10:00–18:00: professional day (for
dealers only, public not allowed).* Friday 18:00 : official opening of the show
in front of the Regency building, followed by a short optional visit of the
thematic exhibition (and the genuine Ensisheim meteorite !) in the Regency
museum. The end of these visits is scheduled at 18:30 sharp.* Friday18:30:
Official show pre-opening (for dealers, friends & invited guests): welcome
words, induction ceremonies, and the traditional friendly drink.* Friday 20:00
: traditional DINNER PARTY in the big tent set on the square (see below).Show
opening to the public:* Saturday June 18: 9:30–18:30 (dealer’s access possible
from 8:30)* Sunday June 19: 9:30–16:30Location: Regency Palace & attached tent,
city main square (in front of the church)Entrance fee* Saturday + Sunday: 5 €*
Saturday only: 5 €* Sunday only: 3 €* Children under 12: free* To avoid fraud,
tickets with stamp will be distributed at the entranceThe showrooms81 dealer
tables will be installed in different Regency palace rooms and in a medium
sized tent (10.5 x 7 m) connected to the main entrance of the building. The
entrance to the Palace is now such that the public must first enter the main
tent door and inevitably visit all the tables of the tent before entering the
building. Oppositely to the 2019 show, it is not anymore possible to reach
directly the Regency buildings.The “Tent” contains 27 tables, including the 3
consignment tables (see below) that are on the right side of the tent
entrance.The “Pas Perdus” hall (first floor entrance) involves again 5 dealer
tablesThe “Spiess” space is again fully open and can accommodate 8 dealer
tablesThe “Egloff” hall now allows placing 10 tables.The “Regency Room” was not
affected by the recent works. It still contains the usual 35 tables.Travel
tipsMaps and travel itineraries could be found soon on the website of the city
of Ensisheim:www.ville-ensisheim.fr.Nearby hotels are: "La Couronne" (reopened
after a substantial restoration) "Domaine du Moulin", "Logis de l'Ecomusée",
"Niemerich" and "Cheval Blanc" hotels. More information on their location and
their characteristics (phone, fax, e-mail, websites) will be given on the
official show flyer which will be finalized soon. You could also find it on the
city's website or ask me to send it to you by e-mail.IMPORTANT: everyone must
organize his own accommodation! If you call, they all also speak English and
German.SPECIFIC MESSSAGE FOR DEALERSTable attributionThe present configuration
of the space currently available (buildings + tent) forces us again to assign
the tables according to the seniority rule.The "old exhibitors" (those who have
reserved tables for a long time), will have the priority to have their usual
tables in the Regency room (or elsewhere if preferred) so as in 2019. I will
try to arrange their table(s) the best I can, respecting as much as possible
the old layout and their wishes regarding the presence of their usual
neighbors.The "new exhibitors" (those who have rented tables recently and all
the newcomers) will receive their tables in the adjacent tent, following the
"first come, first served" rule.Those of you who booked tables in 2019, please
inform me quickly whether (or not) you wish to confirm your renting tables this
year.If yes, specify how many tables you want to rent.I insist that if you
cannot come this year, you notify me that you want to cancel. This is very
important and absolutely necessary so that I can immediately assign tables to
those who are on the waiting list.Table specification:All tables (in the
building and in the tent) are considered almost equivalent in size (24 tables
are 182 x 75 cm and 61 tables are 160 x 80 cm) and in price (single price of
200 euros per table - and not per meter), regardless of the number of tables
rented, meaning that there is no more digressive price for those who rent more
than one table.The Palace and the tent rooms are well lit. It's up to you to
decide if your tab
