Rocket Club @ Big Ears

Today saw the first major outing of Rocket Club - to the East Anglian Rocket Society (EARS) annual week-end launch event, Big Ears. Twenty-five rocketeers made the trek to near Cambridge in search of fun, launch opportunities and, ideally, UKRA High Power Rocketry Certification. Although, the weather was fine and sunny, the wind was quite strong for most of the day which, unfortunately, limited the types of rockets that could be launched. Nevertheless, seven Rocket Club members obtained their Level 1 Certification and everyone had a good time. Over the next few weeks we will be working to find more launch opportunities so that the remaining members can launch their rockets and seek certification as well.
