Dear Rocketry Enthusiasts,

Next Sunday the 10th of August is the monthly scheduled launch morning for QRS at the Cedar Grove launch site from 8am weather and launch site dependent.

If you are planning a L1 or L2 certification attempt can you please let the committee know in advance.

Low power motors will be available from Endeavour Aerospace. Please contact Matt for stock and pricing.

Over the past couple of months we have noticed an increase in fire ants in the area. We are regularly baiting the nests and keeping Logan City Council abreast of the nests that we find. Please be aware that there are fire ants in the area when walking around the site.

While we are in the middle of winter we are out in an open field with no cover so remember while we can't seek, we can slip, slop, slap and slide. Yes, sun screen, covered clothing etc. Especially covered and sturdy footwear. The field does have it's uneven bits and decent footwear is needed searching for rockets. With no facilities, please bring enough water to drink. 

The high vis bunting will be set up around the power lines and we politely ask people not to venture into the areas barricaded by the bunting during the launch event. Energex also request that we don't have people around the cars during the launches due to the risk of earth currents if one of the conductors was brought down.

And finally, Carl and Georgia who run the farm on the opposite side of Cedar Grove Rd have kindly offered to house the QRS trailer. They have a farm shop (honesty box) just up the road and sell honey (hives are local), eggs etc.

Cheers.

Simon.
