Quail Hill Family Camp 2023
The Quail Hill Family Camp 2023 has been rescheduled for July 22.
My apologies to those of you that trekked out to Quail Hill. When communicating with Wendy Weiss about doing this event, I told her that I would be elsewhere that weekend but that other CENJARS members would be there. Apparently, she misconstrued my absence comment and assumed CENJARS would NOT be there. That is why there was no email announcing the event's cancellation.
The new date is on the Calendar.
Have to juggle the schedule a bit but I will be there.
(with the launch equipment.)
No can do. Be in Long Island
Are we still on for Saturday at Quail Hill? What time and do we know where we will be, small field or large field?

From Wendy's last email:
Thank you Brian
OK, I will be there by 8:59. Hoping for the big field.
I should be there at 9:01 (fashionably late).
I suppose aside from some small-field rockets, tables and tent, I'll throw in a few "display rockets". I think we do that there, if I recall rightly.

A few years back, we were all the way down from the usual location between the pool and the lodge. That was a better location for launching. The field area on the other side of the road would have been better but they reserved that for games. I recall doing in my ankle playing frisbee with a group when things were slow.

Promptly at 9:00. 😉

The big stuff always seemed to attract groups in the past.
I'll load my table and some display and fly rocket stuff.
For anyone who missed it, yesterday's demonstration launch at the Quail Hill Scout Reservation was a "blast". As always, the kids and their parents came in waves throughout the event. Charlie led the demonstration routine. Brian spoke to many kids and parents individually about rocketry and getting involved, as did Charlie between launch rounds. Eric kept the rockets flying by retrieval and reloading. Weather was warm, but not too bad. The field is small, but we mostly avoided the woods. The kids seemed excited to see rockets fly, and asked a lot of good questions. We hope to see some of the families attending our future launches soon. All are welcome!
