Theme: Our annual OcktoberFast Launch where we celebrate the need for speed in the Fall
of the year. How fast can you get your rocket into the air and back on the ground safely?
What will be the winning configuration for each engine category? We’ll also be running the
monthly NAR Land the LM Contest.
(Note from Art:
Tomorrow's launch is on!
With the cooler weather we're having we'll start the launch at 10:00 am and go until 3:00 pm, or whenever we all get too cold to fly any more rockets. Right now they are predicting a very slight wind out of the North-northwest, so we'll be setting up at the North end of the parking lot.
The theme for tomorrow's launch is OctoberFast, historically a time to challenge fellow rocketeers to a drag race - you run what you brung for some friendly competition and bragging rights. The only official competition tomorrow is the Land the LM Contest, and with the nice calm winds predicted tomorrow, there could be some action in that wheelhouse.
Bring lots of baby powder to keep those parachutes from sticking, and something warm to drink as we have our first truly cold launch of the year.)

Topic: Nominations for Officers and Garage Sale/Swap Meet. Bring anything you want to swap or sell - everyone will be able to have their own table to display their wares. Be thinking about who you'd like to nominate for VP and Secretary/Treasurer, as both Neal and Mike would like to step down from these positions at the end of the year.

This will be a monthly NAR event beginning at this years first launch to continue commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landings. The contest objective is to launch a model rocket and have it land closest to an area on the launch field representing the moon. The closest landing for the entire year will win the grand prize, a Saturn 1B Model Rocket, to be given away at the annual holiday party.
