   We present the ephemerides and circumstances 
  of the mutual occultations and eclipses of the 
  major Uranian satellites in 2006-2010.
  
  Photometric observations of these events is an effective tool for
  obtaining new astrometric data that can help in the refinement 
  of the theory of satellite motion.
  
 
  The mutual occultations and eclipses of the major satellites
  of Uranus occur at epochs of about 4 years in duration.
  These epochs follow each 43 years. 
   
  In 2006-2010 about 190 mutual occultations and eclipses
  will occur. Maximum of events falls at 2007. 
  
  Not only predicted events but also
  apparent encounters of satellites (annulating events) must be observed because 
  these encounters predicted with a theory of a limited precision
 may be real mutual occultations or eclipses.
 
  The ephemerides of the mutual occultations and eclipses of the major satellites
  of Uranus in 2006-2010 are presented in four tables according to four 
  periods of visibility of Uranus.
