International Meteor Conference 2010
Armagh, Northern Ireland (UK), 2010 September 16-19

---

After another very successful International Meteor Conference (IMC), in Porec, Croatia, the next IMC will take place in Armagh, Northern Ireland, from 2010 September 16th (Thursday evening) to 19th (Sunday lunchtime). It will be organized by the Armagh Observatory, a modern astronomical research institute having a rich heritage and a longstanding association with meteor science. Most participants will be accommodated in the Armagh City Youth Hostel; there is also bed & breakfast and hotel accommodation in Armagh.
The registration fee, probably similar to this year at 150 EUR, and other details will appear in time for registration to open early in 2010. The local organizing committee is Apostolos Christou (chairman), David Asher, Geert Barentsen and Miruna Popescu. More information will be communicated when it becomes available, through this mailing list, the Journal WGN, and the website of the International Meteor Organization.

Good to hear it's coming to Armagh.
Would be interested in attending that.
Tickets are a bit pricey for the likes of us amateurs.
Hopefully they will be able to offer a discount?

From the website:

The registration fee, including all meals and accommodation, is expected to be around 155 euro. We are working to keep the fee as low as possible! We also aim to offer a cheaper fee for participants that do not require accomodation.

That's not a bad price. Registration won't happen until the end of June however, so be patient!

This sounds quite reasonable when accommodation & food is included. I hope IFAS will be well represented - can we do some publicity at this event I wonder?
And of course, I'll bring along that lovely big meteorite I found in a field in Donegal last week lol.
