RIMRA Launch 08 October 2022 was created by KennB
Here is part of the email sent out by RIMRA. Check their website for more details and maps. It's reported that Oatley's Family Restaurant is permanently closed, a victim of the pandemic; if someone can confirm this and suggest another breakfast spot for early travelers, please chime in.

Great news!  The weather report looks good for a launch this Saturday!  Per our launch protocol , the final call will be made at 6 PM EDT this Friday evening.  RIMRA has been given the green light for our members to launch rockets this weekend at Peckham Farm at University of Rhode Island!  Spectators are welcome to come and watch for free!  Make sure to check our website after 6 PM for the final call.  Spread the word!

Please monitor our website prior to the event for updates (e.g. weather delays or cancellations due to weather): www.rimra.org .

Please note the following change to the field access and entrance!The entrance to the field from Peckham Farm now has an electric fence.  Please access the field through the back entrance located on Ministerial Road.  This is through a dirt road before the entrance to the West Kingston School (3119 Ministerial Rd, West Kingston, RI  02892) located near the field.  We will post signs to mark the entrance.  The map below provides a description.  The parking should be a better situation!  Individuals are able to park on the field (at your own risk).  We are hoping to keep this arrangement, so please be careful and courteous.

Just got an e mail from Dan DiMase... evidently there's too much mud on the field so the launch is scrubbed...

"Due to the rain and mud, we are scrubbing the RIMRA rocket launch this weekend.  We plan to reschedule the launch in two weeks, for Saturday, October 22nd.  Be sure to check on our website ( www.rimra.org ) or Facebook page for updates.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!"

I know it competes with the CMASS launch this weekend, but if anyone prefers to drive south, RIMRA is planning to fly on Satrurday.

The set-up has changed (for the better!) recently, so check rimra.org for directions about how to get to the field and where to park.

It looks like it will be a great day for flying sparkies.

I'm flying with the club that has the best looking woman serving lunch. See you in Amesbury on Saturday.
