The Maine Pegmatite Workshop for 2010 if officially taking registrations as of today. Held once again at Poland Mining Camps in Poland, Maine, we are hopeful that you can attend this annual event! The Workshop dates for this year are May 29 to June 4, 2010. (Memorial Day week)

This Workshop is a week of interactive, educational lectures and field classes concerning pegmatology, as we also visit and collect at active pegmatite quarries closed to the public each day. This is an unbelievable opportunity for the beginner to the advanced enthusiast, from College Students to the Professionals to expand your knowledge base and explore new ideas with others of like-minds. We welcome registrants at all levels of expertise, because we all have something to learn and things to share. And, we can guarantee you, that you will see and get to do things that very few enthusiasts ever will.

Brought to you by the Faculty of the MP2 Research Group, Dr. William ”Skip” Simmons of the University of New Orleans leads our team. You can meet the other members of the Faculty here - http://homepage.mac.com/rasprague/PegShop/faculty.html . Additionally, many of the local pegmatite miners will share with you inside information, their experiences and newest discoveries, plus be available to show you around their mines during the week. But you’ll have to visit our Web Site to find out what we do at night! It is almost as enjoyable as the days.

The Workshop limits registration to 30 people, on a “First Paid, First Reservation” basis, so if you have decided to register, do so as soon as you can. We are still fine tuning our guest speaker list and field trip locations, and other news will be added to our web site periodically as it comes in. So be sure to Bookmark and check our site for updates.

Additionally, we are arranging a day of partying, food and tailgate minerals on the last Saturday, June 5th … and there is no charge for this final day. All registrants, even their friends are invited. All of the details are in the Website.

Indeed, all of the information concerning the Workshop you will need is on our web site, however if you do have a question, please feel free to call [978-475-8435] or email me at any time. I hope you can come this year!
