British and Irish Meteorite Society


The British and Irish Meteorite Society is a group of 150+ Meteorite researchers and amateurs. The BIMS was formed in 2004 by the meteorite collectors Mark Ford and Dave Harris. The group provides a meteorite collecting and study focus for the UK and Ireland, and is the only meteorite group in the UK and one of only three in the entire world. Members have made many major scientific discoveries, including the find of a rare Pallasite meteorite, in Hambleton, Yorkshire, in 2005. Through its website the society maintains two forums, one for the general public and one for its members. The forums act as a central point for the exchange of meteorite related information in the UK.
