Good day!
Nice launch to close the first half of the year! We had good, then bad, then great weather today! Threw a tarp over the gear for a cell that rolled through and once it cleared we had a great day! The south wind was a little odd but all in all I'm very pleased that I didn't outright cancel based on the weather forecasts.
Looks like there will be a June desert launch - June 6,7,8 but it will likely be in the 90s - 100 so bring the survival gear! I think I may schlep out for this one and cook some of my killer stew again!
I'll look into finding a summer site in north county - there was one for a time run by Jim Myers of Discount Rocketry, but I understand that is no longer in operation.
2 months till the next launch - Build rockets!

Oh NO! not again!
Members,
I have managed to screw up and really goofed on the schedule!
NO LAUNCH ON JUNE 23 OR AUGUST 25
When I had gotten the schedule this year I was sure that I had verified all
the dates requested against what was issued on the permit.
Youth OTL(the group we had problems with 3 years ago) has those dates
and it is my fault that I didn't catch it sooner. Many thanks to John
Bowman for looking over the permit and finding the mistake before
it was a disaster! Any groups that were scheduled please contact me
immediately to reschedule.
What this means unfortunately, is that the launch last Sunday was the last for
2 whole months! The exception to this is a school launch I have on Tuesday,
June 26th with Perkins Elementary. Club members are welcome to attend and
fly - please give me an email or a call to let me know you're coming. After that -
Sunday August 12th will be the only launch that month.
Please pass this info on to any and all members! I will be in Boston the weekend of
the 23rd visiting family.
Many apologies again - I will check FAR more carefully next year!
all the best,
Sparky7.0

"and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain....."
Sorry about the late cancellation of Sunday's launch!
Things to ramble about:
1. DUES DUES DUES! All members need to renew dues for 2007! This year's
Parks & Rec Permit was $700 and took a big chunck out of the checking account.
Please see me at the next launch and pay up!
2. Visiting groups. I'm making a policy this year of limiting the large groups
of Scouts, YMCA, Royals, etc. to the mid-month (usually Sunday) launches.
The only exception to this will be rain-out makeups like there will be this month.
I don't think it's fair to the membership to have large groups at nearly every launch like in the latter half of last year. That means there's 10 launches available to groups after February.
3. ELECTIONS! Feb 24th elections will be be held at 10 am! It looks as though I will be railroaded (once again) into the Presidency/Tresurer/Secretary slots though some relief will come from the ranks of the Punk Rocket Science team in the form of Todd Mullin. Todd has step forward to run for the VP slot. (I think he's a shoe-in)
As always, If I'm off the deep end - let me know what you think!
