That leaves us to wish you all in advance a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a great New Year!! 

Unfortunately, our latest CROCK meeting was abandoned due to bad weather and lack of petrol but we are still "go" with the last meeting of the year, which will be held on the 29th October. CLICK HERE for more information and directions to the Launch site.

The Launch report from the "Canterbury Cup" is now available, CLICK HERE to view it.

We have just hosted the "Rockets & Things" 1st Canterbury Cup with great success! There was brilliant weather, and a fantastic weekend of flying and socialising was had by all. Please keep checking the Launchdates page for the Launch report which will be up there shortly, along with a list of winners and pictures from the event. Many thanks to all who contributed and also to those who turned up to fly. There are plenty of specially-made T-Shirts left over from the event, so please buy yours today, and have a souvenir to wear with pride!!!!

Our next "CROCK" meeting will be on the 16th of September - please note that this is on a Saturday, not Sunday as it usually is.

We have just received a huge amount of Quest stock, some of which we've never had in before!! Most of our prices are HALF the recommended retail price for these Quest kits, so it's well worth a look to see what we have in stock. Click HERE to visit the Quest page.

The next CROCK rocket meeting will be held on the 2nd of July, 10:30am 'til 5.00pm, weather permitting.

Aerotech have just increased their kit prices dramatically and as such the next batch to come in will have the new prices. We have the following kits available at the old prices:

Get them while you can, once they are gone the new prices will take effect. The Initiator starter set will now be £160!!!

We have recently acquired a large number of LOC parts not yet on our lists; if there is anything you need, please let us know.

The following kits have been dropped from the Estes 2000 catalogue and are therefore discontinued:

We suggest you buy now to avoid dissapointment.... once these kits are gone, it is very unlikely we'll get them again.
