Hi Folks,

For those wanting to know what the Prestige Exhibit will look like this year, use this link:
https://www.euromineral.fr/f_/m_prestige.html
(link normalized by FMF)

Unfortunately, the text seems to be in French only.

The La Gardette's exhibit should be the same displayed at the Chamonix's Museum until March 2010. For more information about La Gardette & its minerals in English, you can have a look at the thread I created about it last year : https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=692

Hope to see you there.

Christophe

The last year I did my usual daily write-up about Ste. Marie 2010 ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=644 ) and luckily also Chris, Montanpark, Gerhard Niklasch and MineralParagon did another fine write-up ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=649 ). His write-up was made not exactly during the show but a little bit late, but as they wasn't exhibitors in the Show they had much more time and energy than me, so his write-up was much more extended and diversified than my write-up.

This year what I propose to do is to do just a single thread with his and my write-up; I will cover (shortly) the pre-Show and the previous and first days of the Show and they can complete it with his extended coverage when they back to their homes.

I believe that it will be much better for everybody. For me because I will have less pressure to publish a complete coverage and for the readers because they will get an unified overview about the Show certainly more complete than my regular daily news.

So, Chris, Montanpark, Gerhard Niklasch, Montanpark, MineralParagon (and everybody else who want join us) are you ready to create with me the best thread about Ste. Marie ever written in FMF? ;-)

[chris]

Holla Jordi,

No problem for me. Unless I can find a WiFi connection around my B&B before leaving, I'll post when I'll be back home on Sunday.

See you there.

PS: Frank will you stay with Alfredo at the same spot as last year ?

Christophe

[Montanpark]

Hi Jordi, all,
of course i can provide pictures and some impressions - but probably will be after the show - i may have a notebook and WLAN available at our accommodation but not sure. I also hope to find the time to make a report on mindat as last year so there will be some stuff to be posted here also. Will be at the show from Wednesday afternoon.

Cheers
Roger

[Jordi Fabre]

Thanks a lot folks, I pay you a glass of beer! Saturday 26th at 6:15 PM, at the closure of the Show, both are invited to share a glass with me in the place front the Tourisme Office (Rue Wilson 86).

Of course Gerhard Niklasch and MineralParagon are also invited as well as everybody publishing some comment, image, anything in the thread: "Sainte Marie-aux-Mines 2009 Show" that I will start in the next days.

See you in Ste. Marie!

[Luiz Menezes]

I will be at Sainte Marie aux Mines, like every year, at the tent CT-004 (just outside the Theatre, on its left side, close to the food court and the men's restroom);

I would like to invite Chris, Roger and any other member of the Forum that will be attending to the show to visit me so we can met in person.

Luiz

[Gerhard Niklasch]

Many thanks for the kind invitation!

Yep, I do intend to bring my camera again, too, but will also be able to crop and upload any pictures that might come out only after my return to Munich.

No beer for me on Saturday though - I'll have some distance to drive to reach my hotel afterwards. :)

Cheers, Gerhard

[chris]

Hi Luiz,

I will be glad to meet you in person too. No problem, I'll visit you at your tent.

For Jordi, thanks for the offer, but unfortunately I have to go back home on Saturday morning, so no beer for me this time. Maybe next year.

Could be better Friday 25th at 6:15 PM at the closure of the Show, same place, front the Tourisme Office?

[Montanpark]

Jordi,
friday would be better, but there is also a mindat meeting at Toms booth (Spirifer Minerals) on 5.30 p.m. ... so we have to manage a bit ;-)

cheers
Roger

[Tomasz Praszkier]

Yes, that is true - in our booth at 17.30 will be MinDat meeting with beer etc. I think it will last to the end of the show. I think that it will be quiet good party :) We invite of course all of you - 17.30 at tant CV 18! Free beer is waiting :-)

Tom

[Jordi Fabre]

Well, still better, people can start in Mindat's party at 5:30 and then, if they wish, meet us at 6:15-6:30, take a seat outside with us enjoying the (supposedly) nice weather and drink a glass of cold beer. Synergy! ;-)

Hey, how this sound to everyone?

[arturo shaw]

If I go it will probably be Sunday. How do you think it sounds to me :-(

(Joke ;-) )

Greetings

Arturo

[Gerhard Niklasch]

Yours truly won't arrive until Saturday morning (have a dentist appointment on Friday). Will check out who's still present at the Spirifer tent then ;) ;)

Cheers, Gerhard

(anticipating to discover rather a bit of glass epimorph drink, variety "empty", however :) )

[Jordi Fabre]

No problems Gerhard and Arturo, you are also invited to a glass of beer in the Theater's bar. Just pick me up Saturday or Sunday in the Theater and share a drink with me there!

Jordi

[MineralParagon]
