   Well, here's what's happening this weekend in the UK...   
      
   "The Cerealogist magazine is promoting a contest for making crop circles, to   
   be held the night of 11-12 July 1992.  The object is to reveal the extent to   
   which artificial circles can replicate the details of the elaborately swirled   
   crop formations which for the last twelve years have been appearing in the   
   fields of cereals and other crops in England and elsewhere.   
      
   "This initiative is prompted by the recent, much publicized but largely   
   unsubstantiated claims that hoaxers are responsible for many of the   
   formations.  It is hoped that those who have made such claims will be prepared   
   to demonstrate their skills in public.   
      
   "A first prize of $5200 and runner-up awards are offered for the artifical   
   crop formation, made by a registered team, which in the opinion of qualified   
   judges best reproduce the features observed at crop circle sites.  The team   
   will be required to execute a design to be specified by the organizers and   
   will be judged the following morning by judges who will not know the identity   
   of the contestants.   
      
   "A field of barley has been set aside for the purpose of the competition and   
   is now under cultivation at a site in southern England which will be known   
   only to those organizing and taking part in the competition.  After the event,   
   the site will be disclosed and the public will be invited to view the results   
   of the contest.   
      
   Teams of circle makers, with or without previous experience, are invited to   
   apply for entry to this contest.  Conditions and other details from: THE   
   CEREALOGIST, The British & International Journal for Crop Circle Studies, 11   
   Powis Gardens, London W11 1JG. Telephone: 071-229-3583   
      
   "The number of entrants will be limited to about 12, and each team to no more   
   than 6 members. A 50(Pound) entrance fee is required from each participating   
   team which will go towards compensating the farmer.  There will be provision   
   for parking and overnight camping.   
      
   "Sponsored by PM Magazine(Germany) and the Koestler Foundation in association   
   with the Environmental Guardian."
