Event DetailsSport Launch - Krimgold Park, Woodbine, MDAnyone who wants to fly at our Sport Launches is welcome. Launches are open to the public, but schedule varies by month. Check the calendar for specific times. A launch controller and pads are provided for low power flights. Six-position launch racks are set up with launch rods of 1/8" and 3/16" diameters. Also available are 10x900 mm micro rails. Mid power flights can be launched from standalone away pads. NARHAMS provides a 1/4" rod, a 72-inch 1010 rail, and a 48-inch 20mm rail. Any NAR certified motor that does not require high power certification to purchase may be flown at Krimgold Park. Note that the park does not allow canopies or tents to be set up. No PA system is allowed either, so please pay careful attention to the Range Safety Officer during the countdowns. There is no driving on the field either, but it's a much shorter walk from the parking to the launch site than at Old National Pike Park. There are restrooms in the Park. The launch site is located adjacent to soccer fields. When there is a game in progress on the adjacent field, flights will be limited to D impulse, with no clustered or staged flights allowed. The Range Safety Officer may choose to impose other restrictions based on activity on nearby fields.

Meetings - VirtualMeetings are held virtually on the first Saturday of each month, starting at 7 pm. Invites to the WebEx meeting are typically sent out a few days before the meeting. Contact Sarah Jackson if you would like to attend. Holiday Party - Greenbelt Community Church, Greenbelt, MDNARHAMS holiday party is an annual event, held in place of the December business meeting. It is held in the basement of the Greenbelt Community Church. Since it is a large open space, people often bring their radio-controlled aircraft to fly before dinner begins. The dinner is pot luck, so please bring a dish to share. Once we get a critical mass of people and food, we sit for dinner. Afterward is an auction of various rocketry related (some more so than others) items donated by fellow club members. Tickets are available for $1 each. We also run a separate auction for a more expensive kit or other prize donated by Hobby Works, with those tickets going for $2 each. Address: 1 Hillside Drive, Greenbelt, MD 20770
