Origins: The British and Irish Meteorite
Society was formed in 2004 by a group of like-minded individuals who
wanted to provide a meteorite collecting focus in the UK. We
exist to bring together UK collectors, researchers and anyone with
an interest in Meteorites to share their passion for rocks from
space. Members keep in regular contact via a Yahoo Mailing
group/list. Most members also give talks, exhibitions, and assist
with education on the subject. Meteorites allow us to touch,
study and be inspired by far off worlds that humans can only dream
of visiting. Society
Aims: To further and
promote the interests of meteorite collecting and study in the UK
and Ireland. To bring together collectors for the purposes of
exchanging information and interest on Meteoritics. To establish a
network of collectors with knowledge of meteorites, to assist in the
location & recovery of new falls and finds. Society Rules: Every member shall do
his or her best to promote local or national interest in meteorites
whenever possible. No member shall bring the organization into
disrepute. Acceptance of Membership and continued membership is at
the sole discretion of the committee. All members will conduct any
search activities in a responsible manner, and where possible make
new finds available for research.
