We have standing water at the launch site. The Launch is cancelled.

It conflicts with Hearne but we are scheduling a makeup launch for next Saturday
12/12.

Weather update.....
The forecast is turning south on us, so I wanted to get the info out there to
watch for an updated go/no-go later in the week.

Thursday is now predicted with precipitation (rain and/or snow). If there is
much of either I'm afraid the field will be too muddy for use. We have wet field
rules if it's only partially muddy. Stay tuned for more info.

Saturdays forcast still looks OK, maybe colder and definitely a freeze that
morning (low of 29). High is 41 and predicted winds are 6 or under (not that the
wind forcast is any good).

_________________________________________________________________


SPECIAL NOTE FOR CHILDREN: ************

We wish to emphasize safety on the range and we are particularly
concerned about the safety of the children that we welcome and enjoy
at our launches. Children enjoy model rocketry and often are very
excitable, particularly when endeavoring to chase their rocket after
it has landed.

Parents and Guardians should pay special attention to their youngster
and be midful that often the range is still active after the launch
of any particular project from the pads. Please remind your young'un
to wait at the flight line until the LCO, Parent/Guardian (or other
mindful adult) indicates that it is safe to leave the flight line
(for any reason).

While the pads are active and flights are occuring, participants and
spectators need to pay attention to any flights that are occuring,
and rockets that are coming back to earth. Particpants should be at
the flight line and observing the pads as launches are being
performed.

Children are very interested in the little buttons at the Launch
Control table. If your child is inclined to permeate informal/social
barriers, please be mindful that the operations area of the Field is
responsible for range safety and is NOT a play area.

_________________________________________________________


--------------------------------------------
HEALTH SAFETY:

The weather conditions may be moderate at the field, but be prepared with
drinking water. At the range, you should consider yourself in the
wilderness.

Bring your own shade. The shade at the operations tables is limited
and is for members performing range duty.

If you anticipate going into the forest after your project, long
pants and covered footwear is suggested (Shorts and Sandals is NOT a
good idea).

Children:

I would suggest that special attention be paid to the attire of your
children, as they are particularly vulnerable to unprotected feet and
legs, and the heat (less surface area per body mass is less efficient
in cooling the body). "Crocs" are NOT recommended. Children treat
rocketry as a track and field event!

It doesn't seem far sometimes, but hiking for 30 - 45
minutes (working hard) in even moderate temperatures without shade
can take it out of you, quick. I suggest a canteen, camel-back, or
other water bottle/container that is comfortable to hike with during
recovery operations in order to prevent dehydration and discomfort.

Find below the Launch announcement from Mark. I'll make a few minor additions:

a> Jeff Short will have Aerotech hardware and reloads available at the launch.
CTI and AMW to follow soon.
b> Stu Barrett will have RoadRunner motors available as well.
c> I know the forcast this far out isn't worth much but it's looking to be a
really pretty day. High of 74, low of 54, winds under 8mph all day.

Come on out and join us for some FUN!
