Fellow ROC members and rocket flyers,
This Saturday 8th February is our next launch at our normal launch site on
Lucerne Dry Lake, Lucerne Valley, CA.
Directions and other details can be found on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/events/725634547449387/ or our website
http://rocstock.org/site/
Weather forecast for Lucerne Valley is dry and partly cloudy with a high or 66F
on Saturday. For those camping out the Friday low is a mild (for February) 40F
and Saturday low of 45F. As those of you who attended before this is just an
indication and the lake bed has its own special climate! My source of weather
is http://tinyurl.com/lmbjtzk
Discount Rocketry will be at the launch and we are expecting 'Two guys and a
Grille' to be selling food. Lucerne Valley Market has almost anything else you
will need for a day/night on the lake bed. What's up hobbies will not be
attending this month's launch.
Both NAR and Tripoli certifications can be conducted for those interested.
We are always looking for volunteers to help in all aspects of the launch and
it's a great way to learn and make friends with the ROC family. Please come to
the registration desk and let us know you want to help.
*** GENERAL INFO ***
Non-member daily launch fee is $15 and the paid-up member fee is $5. Everybody
needs to register and get a wrist band to fly. All participants and spectators
need to sign a liability waiver. Please be aware of the requirement to follow
all safety rules and procedures while attending the launch, and make sure that
children are supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Overnight camping
is allowed as usual, but be sure to keep all campfires in above-ground
containers to comply with BLM rules, and pack your ashes and wood debris out
with you when you leave. Let's always try to leave the playa a little cleaner
than we found it. Portable toilets should be delivered on site by Friday to
support overnight campers and setup.
Again this weekend we are trialing our Sunday members only launch and a number
of members will be staying Saturday night and flying first thing Sunday morning.
We look forward to seeing new and existing members and having a safe and fun
weekend of rocketry.
Ian Walberg
ROC Vice president and board member
Tripoli and NAR Level 3
