***RE-POSTPONED***

Due to ongoing red flag fire conditions, we will be unable to conduct our launch in Amesbury on the 16th of November. We will see what we can do to reschedule in December.

To make it absolutely clear, CMASS does not allow "sparky" motors at any of our launches.

 As you may have noticed, I usually write something here after all our launches. Every once in a while I'll wait to see if someone else will do it. No one does but this year Claude wrote a nice article about a school launch  so I decided to wait a while before I filled this space with meaningless text. Or I was too lazy to write anything. Take your pick. Another sentence or two and I'll have enough text to wrap around the bottom of the picture on the left. Both launches had pleasant weather and we averaged about 200 flights at each one. There are plenty of pictures in the gallery. May 19 is here and June 9 is here. The June 9 launch featured Howard recovering one of Jim's rockets using his slingshots. There are pictures of that here and I'm sure the two of them will be putting together an article to describe the process.

Page School

This was the 5th year for the Rocketry Unit at the 6th grade of the Dr. John C. Page School in West Newbury. The unit spans several days and starts with a pre-build session after school a few days before the actual build. This year we had eight students stay after school to assemble parachutes, assemble launch bags (motor, igniter, plug, wadding), fill glue bottles, etc. The kids enjoyed it, did a very good job and saved me a lot of work. From the two years we have had the pre-build, I've learned one thing - for whatever job there is to do, put a girl in charge!
