Yes I do Rocketballsa. Also many school teachers Primary in Perth and across the whole country are buying from SB's and launching model rockets on school ovals. |

I recently assisted Nick at a local primary school with a rocketry demonstration. Unfortunately the weather did not allow an actual launch, but I think we may have some new memberships on the way. |

Yes the main emphasis with the primary school event was safety. I plan to get a couple of launch days and catch some public attention. I have so many curious people asking to come and observe. I'll have to just spend a couple of weeks wages and buy up big for the event. It's a pain though, just waiting on a few things to happen before I can set dates. The local primary school has expressed interest in having us visit again and do a more in depth demonstration. This will no doubt ripple into other areas. |

At my school we have: - a huge oval, should do for A's B's and the heavier C rockets -An engineering teacher who I have got interested in rocketry -Me, that being the main reason I want someone to launch rockets here  . So it would be suitable. And we could claim something like it demonstrates newtons third law to convince the science teachers. Also might demonstrate the termainal velocity of a falling streamlined object  . |

I don't know why he's say that, I'm pretty sure Newton came up with "every force has an equal and opposite reaction". |

organizing a build and launch day shouldnt be that hard for your school talk to gdude, wolf and kev at the next launch I am sure they would be willing to put some ideas together |
