Additional Garden Home launch scheduled
by Chris Abbey 18 Aug '26

18 Aug '26

Howdy Flyers, Due to the postponement of Filible's Folly out of September and into October, we're adding in a Garden Home launch for September that would normally not have happened since we don't do Garden Home in the same month as Filible's Folly. This is an ADDITIVE launch, and does not replace the already scheduled October Garden home launch on the 10th. As per normal scheduling, it' will be the second Saturday, which is the 12th. Thanks to Stefan and George for running the Garden Home launches, and all the other members who come out and help introduce the sport to new flyers... we usually need a few extra hands, so if you can join us, bring a model and some B or smaller motors and come on out! Cheers, Chris OROC Secretary

Hi all! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to obtain the FAA waivers for the originally scheduled launch weekend. Therefore, we were able to obtain the waiver for October 2nd to the 4th at Sheridan. Please pass the word to anyone who may not review this notice. Thank you for your kind consideration. Best regards, Jack Caynon
