The Saturday, April 12 launch at Garden Home Park has been scrubbed (cancelled) due to bad field conditions. Per Stefan Jones, the NAR Section President, George Rachor, surveyed the field and noted that it had not been mowed and was also extremely muddy. The next low power launch at Garden Home Park will be on Saturday, May 10.

The high power launch at Brothers this coming weekend is still very much “Go,” but bring layers of clothing. The weather app says overnight lows will be in the upper 20s/lower 30s, and the highs will be around 55 on Friday, 44 on Saturday, and 51 on Sunday, with winds making the wind chill feel lower. The good news is that there is no precipitation expected for the next few days.

Hey folks, just wanted to make sure this note from the last couple of club meetings was mentioned a bit more broadly… there will not be a cash box to pay for memberships or launch fees with cash at AP Showers next weekend. You’ll need to pay online with the club’s PayPal page. (Note: you do not need to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit or debit card… but they will probably nag you to create one.) If you are planning to join as a member, it is encouraged to do so online before heading out to the sage.

The 2025 Launch Schedule has been updated on the Public Launches page. Additionally the a downloadable ics file you can import to your calendar software of choice has been linked from the Calendar top level page.

We have opened membership registration for the 2025 calendar year (January 1 – December 31)! The rates for both new and renewal memberships are the same as previous years. Go to our Membership page and look for the button link to launch online registration; if you prefer to pay by check, you may also print a membership form (there is a separate button link for that) and mail both the completed form and the check to us.
