COVID Secure measures

  • Social distancing must be maintained. Remain in your bubble. Follow the instructions of EARS marshals for parking arrangements.
  • Following current BMFA guidelines for events, no spectators will be allowed – rocket fliers only.
  • Track and trace will be implemented.
  • Remain socially distanced and do not crowd the range head.
  • Use the hand sanitizer when handling launch equipment.
  • Please note that although this is a two day event, no camping is allowed on site.

Launching Rockets

  • Weather permitting, flying will commence at 10.30. There is a NOTAM in place to 7000’ on both days.
  • Flight cards are available in pdf for those able to complete before the weekend.

Membership

Without revenue from membership fees, the club cannot function. The Committee has therefore determined:

  • You must be a paid up annual member of EARS, or be a full member of another recognised rocketry club (e.g. Midland Rocketry Club / Scottish Aeronautics and Rocketry Association / Fins Over Gwent etc) to be able to fly.
  • The Committee has determined that due to the lockdown interruption / late start, EARS annual membership will run from April 2021 – April 2022.
  • Please use the Online Membership Form to join.

Day Flying

In line with other clubs, the one-off ‘taster’ introductory day membership and BMFA cover can only be used once by new fliers.
  • Regular EARS fliers who have used club facilities before are required to pay the appropriate year membership (April 2021 – April 2022). Members of other recognised UKRA / BMFA affiliated clubs are eligible for day flying fee, but may be asked to prove they hold annual membership.
