Re: [meteorite-list] Gifhorn in the news (in German!)
Hi folks! This is the most important thing for our hobby or business: publicity and education! It´s not important how big a fair is (like Andy Gren has posted), it´s important that there is a fair. Sure, Gifhorn is very very small, but it can grow and become bigger... Shame on us, if we only think on profit if we talk about meteorites Just my two -cents!

I buy meteorites for sale. It is fun for me and pleasure, also if this not bring me back big profits. And if in mean time some collectors will be happy from specimens that they purchased from me it is just extra profit for me.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gifhorn in the news (in German!)
In past years, Gifhorn was bigger. But the date was changed from one week before the Munich show until the spring. The advantage of having it in the fall was that those dealers that had to travel could do both shows within a 10 day period. This lessened the fixed costs of travelling. Gifhorn was a beautiful town to have a meteorite fair. I went twice and enjoyed it very much both times.

AW: [meteorite-list] Gifhorn in the news (in German!)
Hi Marcin, list I didn't attend there the last 2 times, so I didn't wrote a report. The problem of that fair not growing is that the number of exhibitors isn't getting larger. In my eyes it was a mistake to move the date from October to May. In former times it took place always 1 week before the Munich show (which is the largest in Europe), so that dealers from overseas or from far away, could do both shows on one trip. Same recipe works excellent with flourishing Ensisheim, which is placed one week before the St.Marie-show, which is also one of the largest minerals fair in Europe. Second problem is or was(?) the lack of audience. I remember in the year I took part in, there were hours, where not a single visitor got astray to the show room. Hundred yards away in the pedestrian zone of the town's center at the same time, it was very crowded with people taking their Sunday walk. Not a single marker to the show was placed there. Gifhorn has the same preconditions like Ensisheim, a small town, So I guess, the problem could be solved, in setting back the date to 1 week before Munich and a better organised advertising for the event.
