July 3, 2003

 

Officers Present:


Alex McLaughlin, Treasurer

 John Gamble, Secretary
 Stephen Tarr, RSOC

Alex McLaughlin called the meeting to order at approximately 7:40 p.m.

Approval of the minutes of the June meeting was unanimous.

Treasurer’s Report - Alex McLaughlin reported a total of $3496.30 with an income of $665.00.

Old Business

June Launch – Steve Tarr reported that the June launch was moderately attended, but that 5 Ms were launched.  There were many big rockets.  The weather was less than optimal.  The new PA sounds much improved.  Everyone is looking forward to some good weather in July.

 

New Business

The next launch is July 19-20 in Brothers.  Dennis will drive the trailer out and Paul will return it on Sunday.  Extra hands will be needed for setup as some regulars will be out.  Bob Moscoe will commit.

Because of some EX people going to Black rock, it was decided that the Brothers launch the 4th weekend of August would become a members-only launch.  In addition, the Alvord waiver will be activated the 3rd weekend in August for anyone interested.

August FAR101 Launch – Adrian Carbine requested crew assistance for the OROC members-only FAR101 launch the 2nd weekend in North Plains.  More information will follow on the members mail list.

Airshow – The revived airshow has asked OROC to participate, but that event conflicts with the September launch.  If anyone is interested, contact Alex for more information.

September Launch Dates – The recurring discussion about launch date conflicts with regional/national events has been revived.  The consensus of the BoD is that accommodating other events is a futile effort, but the 2004 schedule will be reviewed to see if anything can be done.

New Launch Rails – John Lyngdal will price new launch rails for OROC.  Bob M. offered to clean the current rails.

 

The meeting was adjourned.
