Discussion: Gerry Freed discussed a few of the current educational activities in process:
Michaels Craft Stores will be holding free build sessions for a Boy Scout merit badge. This activity is in association with Estes. Gerry will forward more information on to the membership for our involvement.
The 2004 Team America competition is under way with a few less teams. A number of teams from last year are returning in 2004. Gerry will keep the membership updated on this important activity.
Conclusions: Gerry needs as much help as anyone can provide.
Action Items: If you are interested in any of the above events or any other activities that may come up, contact Gerry Freed.
Person Responsible: Gerry Freed
Deadline: ASAP
4.) Topic: Tripoli Prefecture
Discussion: Jim Mullane discussed the on-going topic of the Sky Busters joining forces with Tripoli Prefecture #003. This topic was brought to the officers’ attention by Chris Pearson and was presented to the group for discussion. The following items were noted in summary:
An outstanding question was the Tripoli guidelines for field sizes and motor impulse. The way we are interpreting the Tripoli code, only motors of up to “I” impulse could be used at our fields. Chris found documentation and confirmed that Tripoli also uses the term “ ˝ the expected altitude” for field size. This is also the way the NAR does it. This discussion seems to bring to a close the field size and insurance issue.
A brief discussion of EX motors was held and Chris said that he will not be supporting EX because of our field constraints. He will revisit this topic in six months.
A general club vote was held and it was unanimously determined that the Tri-City Sky Busters will be affiliated with Tripoli Prefecture #3, Northern Ohio Tripoli Rocketry Association (NOTRA). Chris Pearson will handle ALL matters concerning the Prefecture including certifications.
Conclusions: None
Action Items: Gerry Freed will update our website with this information.
Person Responsible: Gerry Freed
Deadline: None
5.) Topic: Raffle
Discussion: The club raffle was held and the prizes were distributed.
