Sadly I'm going to have to give this a pass this year as financial circumstances just don't allow for it.
 
No problem there mate.... i sent a pressie to an Aussie last year (hey Krusty!!... that was one of the last Art Applewhite 38mm's)

Ah! So it was you!!

Thank you :) I had a lot of fun building it!! I bought motors for it last week and, weather being on my side, will go up in a couple of weeks!!!

Wish I didn't live in the UK...

What has that got to do with anything? Play anyway! I see nothing in the rules that says you can't.

Two things that come to mind!

Non-US participants could list a local supplier or two and when you sign up, perhaps say if you're willing to be paired up with a non-US giftee.

Just ideas!

A reddit secret Santa was what got me back into rocketry. I want to participate, but noticed one thing sorta missing from the guidelines. Is there a suggested amount that should be spent or is it a free for all?
 
Suggested last time was $30, but from what I saw, the typical gift was $35-45. I spent $45 on the last SS.

It's really anywhere from around $20 and up, whatever you can/want to do. It's more for the fun of it than anything else.....

Just realized I may need to amend my wishlist since I'm getting that 38-2gr case anytime now. Papa Elf is gonna get me!
 
OK, I'm in again. After all, I finally used my December SS gift, so why not? :)
