EVENT Nov ROCstock Postponed, 3-Day ROCstock Dec 7, 8, 9th!

[Fuddrucker]

The November 10-11 ROCstock has been cancelled. ROCstock has been rescheduled for December. This will be a three day event beginning Friday, December 7th, going through Sunday afternoon, December 9th.

Although conditions on the lakebed continue to improve, they are still not acceptable to hold a launch. ROC is working closely with the BLM and a grading contractor to restore the site to acceptable conditions.

Board of Director Election results will be announced via roc-chat/announce and posted to the website the weekend of November 10th. Voting will close as originally announced November 8th. The Annual Membership Meeting will be held at ROCstock the afternoon of December 8th. The new Board of Directors will again be announced during the Membership Meeting and will meet thereafter to vote for 2019 officers.

See everyone in December!

Mike Ostby,
ROC President

December Rocstock Update

We are monitoring the weather forecast and conditions of the lakebed closely. Unfortunately, the lakebed cannot tolerate much rain at all. The October storm really saturated the ground. As of the this morning several sources are forecasting for Lucerne Valley a 100% chance of significant rain later this week and 30% later next week. If the lakebed gets any amount of measurable rain between now and December 7th, ROCstock will be canceled.

Mike Ostby,
ROC President

Due to the wet weather today and a forecast for possible rain this Saturday, and another storm next Wed and Thursday the ROC Board has decided to cancel the December 7-9 Rocstock Launch.

We are coming up with a plan to hold the Annual Membership Meeting/Holiday Gathering. Most likely a lunch at a pizza parlor Sat the 8th. If this sounds like fun please let me know so a large enough room can be reserved. Stay tuned for details.
