More weather updates for the weekend

DateFriday, April 28, 2006 at 5:20AM

Club Secretary here with some good weather news.
It looks like the Rocket Weather Gods are going to smile down upon us this weekend.
Saturday is projected to be mostly clear and sunny, 45 in the morning with a projected high of 69 degrees. As most of you know, it will be, or seem warmer out at the farm as the open fields act like a solar collector.
Over night temps will be in the mid 40's with a Sunday wake-up of about 45 degrees again and a high of about 65 degrees.
Only a slight chance of any rain late Sunday, so we should have the whole day to fly before we have to take down the flight equipment before dark.
So, if your camping over, pack and be pre-paired for the cool night. Plan ahead and use common sense in that you are camping and walking around on a farm field. If your going to cook on site, bring a proper container for your fire. Portable and single use grills are a good choice, or like me, be sure you have a good portable fire pit. That way we can sit around the camp telling the story about "The Headless Rocketeer".
OK, I hope to see everyone out on the farm this weekend and if everyone helps out, everyone will have a good time.
Roy.
