Thank you so much, dear Zelimir, for your relentless engagement 
concerning Ensisheim, meteorites, La Bourse and - yes indeed, Greg - 
toute la famille.


Looking forward with pleasure - Matthias

Dear Meteorite-Central List, IMCA members and all meteorite friends,

As already announced on the leaflets distributed last November in the Munich 
show, now that the “St George Brotherhood of the Ensisheim Meteorite Guardians” 
was officially dissolved in February this year, the 2016 Ensisheim meteorite 
show will be organized on the same basis as last year, namely by the recently 
created “Association of Friends of the Ensisheim Meteorite” and under the 
auspices of the “ City of Ensisheim” and of the “ Ensisheim Federation of 
Associations”.

Please find here preliminary news concerning this 17 th edition of the show.

The place (Regency Palace in Ensisheim), the dates (the week preceding the Ste 
Marie show, namely from Friday June 17 to Sunday June 19, 2016), as well as the 
usual hall table arrangements, remain unchanged.
Opening hours:
Saturday: 9:30-18:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 7:30).

Sunday: 9:30-16:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 8.00)

The total number of dealer tables is limited to 58 (52 “regular” and 6 
“window-tables” in the consignment room). All tables are equal in size (160 x 
80 cm – note the large size). The price per table (not per meter), was slightly 
increased with respect to 2015, namely: 1 table = 170 euro; 2 tables = 320 
euro; 3 tables = 450 euro; 4 tables = 600 euro….)

All past dealers/guests have full priority to reserve their last year table(s). 
Those who did not come last year (2015) had lost their priority and should be 
considered as “newcomers”.

For the 2016 booking, we urgently ask our regular guests to do that ASAP, 
preferably before the end of April 2016 (slightly flexible deadline).
However, if you already had reserved “implicitly” or “think that you have 
reserved”, please APPLY AGAIN (E-mail me in a couple of words) and confirm your 
table(s).


If you can’t make it this year, please notify me that you want to cancel. This 
is very important and absolutely needed for me to readily assign tables to 
those who are on the waiting list.

The organizers will attribute to the newcomers the layout of places within any 
of the 3 halls in the most appropriate way so as to meet as many wishes as 
possible. Note that the 3 halls are all equivalent, as the public must 
inevitably walk through.
Tables are attributed to newcomers, as always, on a “first come, first served” 
basis.

For table reservation, just E-mail me (zelimir.gabel...@uha.fr)

To avoid money transfer complications and bank fee, we accept you pay the table 
renting, cash. Tables are to be paid on Saturday morning between 7:30 and 9:30 
to the treasurer, at the reception desk visible from the entrance door of the 
Regency building. Please prepare cash (preferred), though French checks are 
tolerated. Credit Cards are NOT accepted.

To pay, the dealers and their assistants must wear their badges (or ask for at 
the reception desk).
Badges are attributed on the following basis: 1 table reserved = 1 or 2 badges 
attributed; 2 tables, up to 3 badges; 3 tables, up to 4 badges, 4 tables, up to 
5 badges…

If more people are officially part of a table team, they can either be 
considered as “public” and pay 4 euro as regular entrance fee, or pay 10 euro 
that includes the entrance during the dealer’s day on Friday and a badge.
For this being possible, I’ll need very soon the full names of all the dealers 
and their assistants, so we can prepare the corresponding badges in time.

People without badges are not considered as dealers, can’t occupy tables, nor 
are allowed to sell meteorites elsewhere within the buildings or on the Regency 
square.

Maps and traveling indications could be found soon on the Ensisheim city web 
site:
www.ville-ensisheim.fr .

The nearby hotels remain "Domaine du Moulin", “Les Loges de l’Ecomusée », "Niemerich" and 
"Cheval Blanc".
More info about their location and characteristics (phone, fax, e-mail, web 
sites) are given on the official show flyer that is now ready and that you can 
find on the city web site from next Monday April 25.
I can also send the flyer right now (mail) upon request.

IMPORTANT: everybody must arrange for his own accommodation!
If you call, they all do speak English and German.

Friday June 17 is the "DEALER’S DAY" devoted for tables/booth set up.
The Regency halls are exclusively open (13:30 – 18.00) to dealers wearing their 
badges, and NOT to the public.
Note that dealers can also install their tables on Saturday morning (7:30 – 
9:30) after having collected their badges at the reception desk (entrance of 
the Regency palace) and pay their tables to the cashier present on the desk, 
prior to climb the stairs.

On Friday, after the Regency rooms closure (18:00

That's great news Zelimir!

Thank you for the confirmation of the continuation of the Ensisheim Show and 
for your dedication to keep the Ensisheim Show alive and growing!!


As for the last near-decade of my attendance and showing in Ensi, please 
accept this as my life-long confirmation of my regular table, Mike Farmer's 
table since he's currently traveling and Moritz' table with whom I always 
group together each year to duplicate all of our confirmations! ;-)


As having been honored as one of the Guardians of the Brotherhood of the 
Ensisheim Meteorite and winner of last year's first 'Thematic Exhibition' of 
the 'Best of the Best' personal collection specimens with my NWA 5000 main 
mass and slice, I fully encourage all in attendance to submit your very 
best! Last year was an incredible success and all of the items on display 
were simply amazing!! While it was a chore and quite the responsibility to 
personally carry and curate my NWA 5000 specimens around Europe for two 
weeks last year was a bit stressful, it was all worth the investment of time 
and money to share such treasures with those who truly appreciate meteorites 
like most all of us!


Ensisheim is my favorite show of the year! If you have never attended yet, 
do so because you are missing out on what I refer to as, 'The Meteorite 
Family Gathering'.


See you there!!

Best Regards,
Greg
