Dear friends and fellow rocketeers.

The dates for International Rocket Week 2011 (IRW 2011), will be ~

Monday 22nd to Monday 29th August 2011.

The Base Camp will be at South Whittlieburn Farm (SWF), and the Flying Site will be at the Fairlie Moor Rocket Site (FMRS - Wednesday 24th to Monday 29th August), with Model rocket flying at SWF for the first two days, as was successfully the case this year.

If you are unfamiliar with these Sites, or with the IRW programme, please go to the IRW 2010 web pages, which are still up at ~

www.irw.rocketry.org.uk

IRW 2011 will be organised and run by the IRW Committee of Colin MacLaren, Andy Norrie, Jonathan Rhodes, Mitchell Hamilton, Adrian Hurt, and myself.

A full photo and video report on IRW 2010 by Dave Thomson, with links to the IRW 2010 photo and video galleries of other participants is up at ~

Further details and information about IRW 2011 will be posted on the UKRA Forums (and elsewhere) in due course.

My thanks to all those who supported and participated in IRW 2010. I look forward to seeing and flying with you all again at IRW 2011, along with new participants.

Yours ever,

John Bonsor,
IRW 2011 Organiser.
