ROCC November 19th & 20th Launch Info

DateTuesday, November 15, 2022 at 11:14AM
OK, heard back from Ralph & Kip.
The November 19th & 20th 2022 launch is a GO!
Kip is still harvesting, and may be harvesting on Saturday &/or Sunday while we're out there depending on how fast the fields dry from the rain today. So please don't block up the runway or entrances to any of the barns, and please keep track of small objects like dogs & children. Count noses often!
We'll set up about 9:30, range open by 11. It'll be cold to start so dress in layers people! Range will close by 4:30 so we can close down the field, sunset is at 5:11.
Ken will be with us on SATURDAY ONLY. So if you're needing launch supplies please come out and get 'em on Saturday.
Due to the fire risks we will not be flying Sparky motors. It's just too dangerous with crops possibly still in the fields.
Please remember that we ask a $10/day donation for non-members and a $5/day donation for members to go to Kip for use of the farm. We've not been good about this lately and I'd like to make sure we get back to doing what we promised him & his dad when we fly.
ROCC memberships will be coming around again in January and most of that money goes to pay for servicing the Port-o-Pot that's out there. It's gone up the last few years and now is (I believe) $100/weekend to get it serviced. I will be around Saturday and Sunday afternoons (I've got a shoot both mornings dang it!) with the membership book so see me if you want to join or renew. I will try and hang out at the RSO table so you can find me. Look for the big grey bearded guy.
All that said let's have a safe and fun launch season!
TB/dr
