Due to high winds, the Buder Park launch scheduled for today has been delayed until tomorrow afternoon. Setup will be from 3:00 - 3:30 pm CDT, with the range open from 3:30 - 7:00 pm. This launch is being held in support of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri TARC (The American Rocketry Challenge) team.

The launch that was previously scheduled for February 12th has been rolled over to the 19th due to muddy conditions from the melting snow. Please continue to watch https://www.stlouisrocketry.com for updates.

SLRA member Mike Walsh is helping a former member sell some rocket motors (mostly composite, E through H). He will bring the motors to the meeting on the 28th. He can take either cash or PayPal.

SLRA is having our regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, November 23rd. Prior to the meeting (beginning at 6:00pm), there will be a group build session! Bring your rocket box and current building project to work on during the meeting. If you don't have a current project, SLRA President Dave Kovar will have a box of fly-it / take-it rockets to be built for next year's Buder Park launch events.

The meeting will be held at Bandana's Bar-B-Q, 11750 Gravois Road, Sunset Hills, MO 63127-1804.

This is just a reminder that our next model rocket launch at Buder Park is coming up next weekend and there are still a couple of spots remaining. (We are still requiring pre-registration for our launch due to St. Louis County COVID-19 guidelines; see the previous posts here and here.)

The weather forecast indicates a chance we'll be rained out, but we'll continue to watch that and make a go / no-go decision later in the week as we usually do. If the launch is cancelled due to weather, I'll contact everyone who is registered and ask if you want to carry your registrations over to the next launch scheduled for Sunday, August 2nd.

Thanks,
Dan Crank
