Please be assured that the Rocketry Challenge will be going ahead and the date and venue of the UK Finals will be decided by mid-February.

All teams are currently insured with the British Model Flying Association who will continue to provide insurance for the Challenge.

We remind all teams that despite UKRA's withdrawal from the Rocketry Challenge, all rocket flights must still adhere to the UKRA Safety Code. Safety is our paramount concern and any team found not to follow the UKRA Safety Code will be disqualified.

Teams have another few weeks to register their interest. You can register by going to the Forms and Docs section to the left and filling in the Application Forms. You now have until the 28th February 2010 to send your forms to the UKAYRoC Helpdesk.
