Mike Walsh asked me to send out a message as an FYI to the club membership. As you may have seen on the news, there has been significant flooding in Elsberry (where our high power launch site is located) and a state of emergency declared. Per Lincoln County Emergency Management (see attached), everyone is advised to avoid the area unless absolutely necessary. Also, please do not attempt to contact the landowner - the club's landowner contacts will be in touch with them and will communicate the status when we have it.
Early forecast for Saturday’s Night launch at Buder Park:
The afternoon will be in the 90’s with an 11 mph SSW wind and dropping to 9 mph South wind around 7PM and a 1% chance of precipitation.
I’m planning to start setting up the equipment around 3:00
Saturday’s 5/31/25 launch forecast for buder park.
Sunny 87 degrees with 12mph WNW winds. Setup starting at 08:30. The theme is Classic Estes kits if you want to knock the dust off them.
St. Louis County has installed the permit box by the remote-controlled flier’s pavilion. The envelopes are in the forward box, and you pull them out from the slot at the bottom. Fill it out, insert the free, remove your receipt portion off, and insert the payment in the front slot in the top of the pole.
The Next SLRA Meeting/Build Session is next Tuesday, March 25th, at the Sunset Hills Bandana’s BBQ (11750 Gravois Rd, St. Louis, MO 63127) Coordinate 38.53096/-90.38616.
6:00 - 7:00 PM – Rocket Talk Social Hour/Dinner/Build Session
7:00 - ?:?? PM – SLRA Meeting
Post Meeting – More Rocket Talk and Build Session until 9:00 pm
The meeting location is in the basement of the restaurant. You’ll need to enter from the back of the restaurant. We have lots of room to spread-out. There are lots of tables for enabling us to have a coincident Build Session.
If you have a rocket project you’re working on, bring it to the meeting. Be sure to bring a table cover (newspaper/poster board) and cutting board to prevent damage to tabletops.
This is also a great opportunity to bring rocketry-related questions to ask seasoned Low to High Power Rocketeers who will be in attendance. Interested in Competition rocketry, those questions can be answered as well.
Schaefer’s Hobby is nearby as well. They’re open till 6:00 pm.
If you’re a member of SLRA and are registered on the website, you can view minutes of previous meetings from our website’s Meeting Minutes Page. The unresolved discussions from our previous meeting will be the basis of our “Old Business” discussion at Tuesday’s meeting.
Happy Rocketeering!!!
Secretary Dave
