ROCC March Rocket Launch, 15 - 16th

DateWednesday, March 12, 2008 at 5:13PM

Everyone:
Official launch announcement for ROCC Sport Launch:

Saturday and Sunday March 15th and 16th from 11:00 to 7:00 each day

This month's launch looks a little iffy with a front moving in Saturday. Please keep checking the website and email for further launch details. We will not have an option to go around due to the Easter holiday the following weekend. We will try to get this launch in the best we can.

Large Boy Scout group to attend early Saturday. David Hutchinson from Pack 214 is bringing at least 47 scouts out for a day of launching. We may be pretty busy Saturday morning. They came out last year and we had a really great time. I would ask all senior members of the club to make yourself available to assist in either with pad management, or to just be available if they need help with prepping, repairs, etc. We will have our new Estes PVC pads available that Todd has been working on. I hope to have all 24 pads up and running at this launch.

Please, READ MORE

NAR Cert - I know of one gentlemen wanting to attempt his L1, he looks to be there Sunday. Will need a few NAR guys for this.

NAR Contest: Gift cards will be awarded to the winners, we forgot to do it last month.

Vendors: Performance hobbies will be there only on Sunday March 16th.

Duty Roster: I will have sign-up sheets for the launches through June. Sign up to help, please!!!!!!

Porta-Potty: Will be on-site this launch.

NSL Launch update - I need volunteers to step up so we as a group can opt in for 2 hours of range duty at the NSL launch in Orangeburg in May. Lets discuss during our 3:00pm meeting. Todd will have more information coming to the website soon.

Flyer-Fees: Please come out and fly and pay your fees. Recommended $8-$10 donation a day per flyer. We still have to pay the Piper.

Ralph's availability first thing Saturday is in question due to Amanda's first soccer game of the season. I will be arriving at 11:00am at the earliest.

Flyers Meeting/Launch organizers meeting first thing at 11:00am on Saturday and Sunday.
We must have everyone aware of wind/launch angles for the day, we do not want a repeat of last months ballistic recoveries in the spectator area.

Note: Keep an eye on email and the website for any changes regarding our launch.
