Launch Meeting 8th July 2000

As you will see this report is rather different from all the others and from now on this is probably how the reports will be shown. The reports have changed to give more information about the launches (the most important part) and at the end of the year can give details to the members of the club, i.e. who launched the most, highest, most motors etc as well as an overall total of engines used rockets launched etc.

Weather

Temperature - Warm

Skies - cloudy
