Ok I said it's a long story but I'm keeping this short
Saturday 29th of July was a scheduled public club launch.
Got up 5:30 AM go on the web, check the Tripoli Australia web page to see if the launch day was still GO.
It is a whole day trip, with 6 hours of round trip driving, to attend the launch day.
Checking at 6: 00, 6: 30, 7:00, and at 8:00, the web page remained unchanged: the day was ON.
Left home at 8:30, got to Bendigo at 10: 30, arrived at the launch site at 11:30 and guess what, no one there and no sign to say why not .
So back in the car, angry enough to go into orbit, and, off we go back to Bendigo.
Stop at hungry Jacks, and bump into the family!!!!
I'm keeping this short
Family dad "so you fly rockets"
Me " yes"
Family dad "you with that tripoli lot ? "
Me "yes"
Let say it's get's a lot more X rated
" f you and your club"
"You shove your club and your rockets up your ---"
Let's say it went down hill from there.
You can see where this is going.
I tried to explain that I have no say in the running of the club.
So back in car, and a quick exit.
After arrival home, I found that the web page had been updated

Due to a technical issue an older version of the homepage with an incorrect schedule was presented, our apologies if this caused any inconvenience.
Next launch is scheduled for August 5th and 6th at the Serpentine launch site

If someone really wanted to sabotage the sport here in Australia; then, the actions or really non actions in updating the web site is a good way to discourage current and potential new club members from bothering with such a bunch of amateurs.
Someone should really inform, TRIPOLI USA of the sad state of the Tripoli prefecture in Victoria, Australia.
It's bad and going CATO, as we speak.
We Victorians need a new club closer to metro Melbourne.
Is anyone interested? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have been told that we are NOT to talk about Tripoli vic here at all.
I think I should not associate this forum with PARC at all so no one can dictate to me what goes on here.
Dear Paul, on sunday i got a second call from david wilkins at tripoli in vic. to make a long story short. he is not impressed with the slandering that some rocketeers around the country, are giving to tripoli. please do not use the club forum to do this as it gives the club a bad image, and achieves nothing. if you have any issues please direct them to david, he is happy to discuss any queries. rubbishing the tripoli vic. will achieve nothing. at the end of the day, they are a separate body, and are not obligated to help clubs around australia. if you can delete the comments in the forum please do.
