"New Revised" Rules for Retrieving Rockets from Mr. Simpson's Property.

"New Revised" Rules for Retrieving Rockets from Mr. Simpson's Property.

We had a misunderstanding this afternoon that requires the rules to be changed slightly.

Rules:
1. Park in Mr Simpson's driveway, go no further in your car. You cannot under any circumstance drive into is backyard property.

2. If your rocket lands on Mr Simpson's property you must take a club officer with you to retrieve your rocket. Club Officers would be Roy, Doc, Jason, Charlie, Ralph, and me. We have only one small gate that Mr Simpson wants us to use. I will work with all of the club officers to make sure they all know which gate to utilize.

3. Under no circumstances are you allowed to jump his fence to retrieve your rocket. NO EXCEPTIONS! If its on the Simpson side of the fence, see Rules 1 and 2.

Again, no exception to these rules!!! I will continue to work with Mr Simpson and hoping we can improve the situation over time.
