Folks,
Current reports are there is some water on the lake bed and we expect to have a
final go for launch during the morning on Friday.
Please look out on Facebook/chat/website on Friday for news confirming we are
'go for launch'.
Regards
Ian

Subject: [roc-chat] ROC's March launch is this Saturday 8th March 2014
Fellow ROC members and rocket flyers,
This Saturday 8th March 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/263037480527404/ or our website
http://rocstock.org/site/
Weather forecast for Lucerne Valley is dry, clear and warm with a high or 70F
on Saturday. For those camping out the Friday low is a mild (for March) 45F and
Saturday low of 47F. 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 '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.

ROC Vice president and board member
