Rocketry days consents

We need consent forms... as ever... Especially as the competition is on Monday so counts as a day educated away from school! (I need confirmation that your parents know you have elected to take a day off school!

Here they are:

Intercounty Rifle Competition forms

Here's an info sheet, the shooting consent, John's camp consent form (again) and a kit list Make sure you print them all off and make sure I have the signed consents if you haven't already given them to me!

Flaming alcohol

No! Not unhealthy dangerous cocktails - Trangia cooking! We will do our own mini-DofE (Rusty-old-iron DofE instead of the more precious Bronze/Silver/Gold which requires a 30min travelling, cook an unwholesome meal, no nights camping, and no volunteering skill or fitness! ) 

Bring something unwholesome to cook on a DofE stove and we'll cook it at the end of our night hike!

Shropshire Rifles practices for the Intercounty competition

The squad are practising at Leaton Hall Ranges (sounds better than 'in my barn') so here is a map/details for those that haven't been before!

The address is Leaton Hall Farm, Leaton, nr Bomere Heath, Shrewsbury SY4 3AP

The map below shows where my house is - note that satnav will take you to the opposite end of our road and drop you at a small Industrial Estate - we are at the other end of that road by the T-junction with a small plant hire company EAGLE in another barn.

My phone no. is 01939 291352

Please also print out and bring the consent to shoot form - you can save the image below and then print. This is a legal requirement.

Uncertainty and close horizons...

UPDATE!
This is the plan - we will relocate the 16 March mtg to Pontesbury with our Rea Valley friends and help them with DofE prep things and paint our rocket in a quiet corner if we are just getting in the way...



Hmmm...  there are only a dozen of us most nights and tomorrow, we have at least 4 going to Rea Valley to prep DofE stuff and one of us in France so we are down to a max of 5 for the Assault Course... The Rocketry Team thought it might be better to see if we could all go and visit Rea Valley, and I could meet the DofE Silver group and the rest of you amuse the others (non-DofE explorers) with some rocket prep? 

However, we would have to agree it with them and it was too late to call so I'll have to email and check and then let everyone know rather last minute!

Sorry!

However its only 4 of you I need to contact last minute... so watch this space!

Meanwhile... those that are going because they are doing DofE need to be at the Congregational Church Hall in Pontesbury  :

Pontesbury Congregational Church
Minsterley Road
Pontesbury
SY5 OQH 

7:45pm with the forms and cheques! (unless you have already paid me!)
