REMINDER Tomorrow night there will be a session for cadets and their parents, for cadets who have been accepted to a summer camp. It will start at 1900 hrs and go to approximately 2000 hrs.

June 14th will be the First Rocket Club launch, being held at the Luloff farm. (251 Kelly Lake Road, directions were handed out at tonight’s meeting) Transportation will not be provided and cadets must make their own arrangements there and back. Cadets are asked to arrive no earlier than 10:30 and no later than 11:15. The road is one way road so all vehicles will have to leave at once. We ask all parents to start arriving at 16:30 for pick up. Prizes will be handed out to cadets who can complete certain challenges such as hitting landing targets and furthest highest achieved. All cadets have one rocket engine included in there kits and it is recommended that more are purchased. Each rocket engine is $5 and I am sure after you launch one you will want to do another, especially if you are out there all day. The weather forecast for the weekend looks good but the Facebook group and the blog will be updated just in case of a change of weather. The 15th will be used as a backup day. All cadets are to bring water bottles, bug spray and sun screen. Cadets are encouraged to bring snacks as meals are not provided but light snacks may be.

REMINDER Tonight's dinner is being held at the Pembroke Legion and not at the Armouries. Be there for 6:30.
