2004
/ 2005 Winter Seminar Series Returns
BEMRC has been hosting winter classes for model rocket building every year since the 1980's, and we're continuing the tradition this year.
The classes kick off on the second Saturday of November at
the Kent Recreation complex (7-226 building, at 22649 – 84th Ave S.
), starting at 10:00 am. in Meeting Room "C". Examples of the kits to be built in the classes will be shown along with
an overview of our hobby, the NAR and TRA safety codes, and general news and
information.
This years series of classes runs from November 2004 to March 2005. Here's the schedule and the types of kits to be built:
November 13th, 2004 Kick-Off
December 11th - First Build Session - Estes Gnome
January 8th, 2005 - Second Build Session - Custom Rocket Company Grab Bag
February 12th - Third Build Session - Multi Stager
March 12th - Edmonds Boost Glider
The classes are open to all past and present Boeing employees, their families, and to the general public. Cost to Boeing employees is $10, which includes 2005 membership dues with BEMRC. (Additional Boeing employee family members may enroll for $10 each.) The class cost to the general public is $40, which covers the cost of class materials. Class materials include the kits, plus motors, ignitors, and recovery wadding. Weather permitting, BEMRC will host launches after each class at our launch site at the south east corner of the Kent Space Center.
To sign up for the classes, attend the Kick-Off in November, or contact any BEMRC BoD Member. Class size is limited to 12 builders and sign ups are on a first come basis. Precedence will be given to Boeing employees with any remaining openings available to the general public. Door prizes will be handed out during each class session.
