Welcome to the East Anglian Rocketry Society's website. Here you will find information about flying rockets in the UK. There is info on the Rocketry Society, the latest news about what we're up to, when we launch rockets, where we launch rockets from, some photographs from previous rocket launches and some technical articles written by our members. You can also contact us for more information about the Society.

We currently hold flying days on the first Sunday of the month from March to December, they generally start at around 10am and carry on until it gets either too dark, or too cold. Everyone is welcome to come along and fly with us, it doesn't matter what type of rocket you fly as we've had all sorts of different shapes and sizes with motors from ¼A to M impulse flown from the site.

News Flash! - Next EARS Launch on Sunday 12th July 2009!

Our next launch is on Sunday the 12th July 2009. Please feel free to come along and see what we get up to.

IMPORTANT!!! This is NOT the usual First Sunday of the Month but the weekend AFTER!! The EARS Committee have decided to move the event so that it doesnt clash with the excellent Rockets and Space 2009 at the Royal Gunpowder Mills Waltham Abbey on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July. EARS will be in attendance along with the UKRA display stand.

IMPORTANT : SITE ACCESS! The entrance we use has had to change at the landowners request. Please check out the Launch Site pages for further details

We hope to have some of the top UK rocketry vendors in attendance from our friends from Rockets and Things and Rocketstore.

There will be the usual loo facilities available on site.

We will be promoting the UKRA Model Achievement Programme or MAP at all our launches this year. This is a certification scheme to encourage rocket flyers young and old to enhance their rocketry skills through gradually taking on more and more complex tasks. MAP starts off very easily and is a great way to get started. If you would like to find out more about MAP please take a look at the MAP pages on the UKRA website or perhaps download the MAP Handbook PDF document (33Kb).We now have MAP Certificates and Task Achivement stickers available at all EARS launches. Just ask one of the RSO's or EARS officials for more info.
