Flash! - EARS Launch on Sunday 7th September 2008 is GO!
We have confirmation that our next launch, on Sunday the 7th September, will go ahead. We hope to have some of the top UK rocketry vendors in attendance from our friends from Rockets and Things, Apollo, Congreve and Rocketstore. There will be the usual loo facilities available on site. We have some exciting news for inexperienced first time flyers at EARS on our news page. We will be promoting the UKRA Model Achievement Programme or MAP at all our launches this year. This is a certification scheme to encourage rocket flyers young and old to enhance their rocketry skills through gradually taking on more and more complex tasks. MAP starts off very easily and is a great way to get started. If you would like to find out more about MAP please take a look at the MAP pages on the UKRA website or perhaps download the MAP Handbook PDF document (33Kb).We now have MAP Certificates and Task Achivement stickers available at all EARS launches. Just ask one of the RSO's or EARS officials for more info. |
