Good Vendor News

Hi ROC Members and Friends:
 
   I’m pleased to announce that Mike Gentile of Bay Area Rocketry (http://bayarearocketry.com) has informed us that he has received his BLM vendor permit and starting with the upcoming May launch, will be an onsite vendor at ROC monthly launches, supplying high power motors and supplies.  This is great news for our club and will facilitate our ability to purchase and fly HPR motors.  Let’s welcome Mike and BAR to Lucerne!
 
And while we are at it, don’t forget to appreciate and patronize our other faithful vendors, Discount Rocketry for all your low- and mid-power rocketry needs, and Two Guys and a Grille, for all kinds of yummy food and ice cream!
 
See you all at the May launch!

Membership changes

In response to feedback the board has received from the membership a number of simplifications and changes are planned.

The first of these is to change the membership period to be a calendar year rather than a year from the date of joining.

This change takes place with immediate effect and any new members joining during 2014 will be members for 2014 and will need to renew for 2015 on 1st January 2015.

Existing members with memberships ending this year are offered either to join for 2014 at $60 and ‘donate’ the difference or for this transition year pay for the rest of the year prorated which is $5 per month.

Any members that joined or renewed in February 2014 can either treat the additional month as a donation or contact me and renew in 2015 or we will take the extra month off next year’s membership renewal.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Regards,
Ian Walberg
ROC Vice President.

Rocstock is 20 years old this year!

This year is the 20th year of Rocstock launches at Lucerne Dry lake.

June Rocstock will be the 39th (XXXIX) event and the 20th anniversary. November will be the 40th (XL) event.

We have some plans for events and themes to celebrate these anniversaries and keep rocket flying going strong and will publish details as they are available.
