Greetings to all that will be attending NARAM-50 and or the ORR. I want to take a minute and let you know we have now surpassed over 400 people that have registered between the two events.

Some updates for you

1. I am asking you ( yes the burden is on you not me ) to bring your current NAR card with you to registration if you are flying in the actual NARAM-50 contest or if you plan on flying HPR. If you do not have your card we will have to get HQ to verify those who do not bring them. So if you have not paid your NAR membership don't delay.

2. The range layout has ben finalized. It will be very similiar to N-46 with the contest range being closer in and the sport range being further out with the HPR range ( due to site dimensions ) The opening weekend we will be flying sport launches up to "E" power from the contest range and the away range will handle "F" up to "J" powered flights.

3. We are going to have a huge 30x80 conrtestents tent for those that do not want to bring there own shade. The store that is across from the facility will be ready and will be providing food. You wil be able to pre-order lunch ahead of time more details still coming.

4.I have invited attendees to a Commemorative sport launch on Sat at 11am. I have been told the Bill Stine will be flying something from the Stine early collection. Vern & Gleda are also plning on flying something from the early years. Several people heve also notified me that they will be bringing an old model of some significance. I cant wait.

5. We are currently penciled in for the local news channel showing up on Monday morning doing a series of segments.

6. We will have additional qty's of merchandise we were selling on line at the NARTS vendor area. NARTS will be your HQ for all things from NARAM-50 including at the ORR. NARTS will also be selling bottled water on the field in case you run short.

7. The contestents packet will provide you with a copy of the week long schedule, the contest range duty schedule, range rules, and several other items. I encourage you to review the range rules which are mainly common sense items.

Looking forward to seeing you there

Jim

What if we don;t have a current NAR card ?

I just renewed my membership after a lengthy lapse ( fanancial ,etc reasons ) ...

But I do have a curent TRIPOLI card, are non NAR mebers allowed to attend / fly ? ( generally Tripoli members can fly NAR events and vice versa ) .

Just wondering ( and not likely to fly any HPR, due to space limits on what fits in the car...

NAR or Tripoli card is only needed if you are flying in the contest or if you are flying HPR. egular sport flying sdoes not require a crd be presented.

Man, I sure wish I could get out there to attend all these festivities.

They probably don't have fried cheese curds in Virginia, Scott.


But it would be good to see you and say hello again.

They don't know what they're missing!

Yes, I enjoyed the camaraderie with fellow rocketeers when we hosted NARCON those three years in a row.

I have been putting off rejoining the NAR (I was first a member as a kid over 30 years ago.) I happen to be going on a family trip and checking out the road maps, I realized I will be passing right by NARAM-50 while it is going on. Will there be any provision to join the NAR at the gate? If I join now, I see that I will not receive my credentials before I leave on my trip in a few days. If there is a chance I can launch a few rockets, including my and my kids three golden scouts, I would love to make a detour.

Also, if one person is an NAR member, can others (like my wife, who only TOLERATES my model rocketry) attend?
