I neglected to mention launch fees last week when I announced the park launch scheduled for Saturday. Each flyer or family (i.e. parent with young children) who is not a paid member of SLRA will be charged a launch fee of $3. This covers as many flights as you want to do for the day, and goes towards upkeep of our launch equipment and purchase of new equipment.

SLRA members who have paid 2016 dues, or new members who want to join at the field, will fly for free. This is a change from last year's policy, when club members paid the launch fee in addition to their dues, but we felt this was a good tradeoff to give people incentive to join. If you want to check to see whether we've received your dues payment, or just don't remember whether you renewed or not, please email admin@stlouisrocketry.com and I will be happy to check.

The weather forecast for this weekend looks terrific, so we hope to see a lot of you at Buder Park on Saturday!
