I got into rocketry pretty recently (last Fall, I believe) and have been to 3 CMASS launches now. I\'ve been reading about the different areas of the hobby, and one that sounds interesting to me is competition. As far as I can tell, however, there are few or no competitions near Massachusetts. Has CMASS ever hosted a meet, or is it a possibility for the future? Or are there meets nearby that I could easily attend?

We only have one \"serious\" competitor in the club. In the past we\'ve done a couple of competition launches and could in the future if there\'s enough support.

How about a pun competition? Of course, that could never be a \"serious\" competition. But I am sure at least Kenn would be game!

If someone wants to run some competitive events I\'m in.

Both as a Sponsor and a not very serious competitor.



....just what I need an excuse to build more rockets?

Someone\'s already done it:
www.punpunpun.com/
and we just missed it.

Our serious rocket competitor would also hold his own in the pun-off (would you hold it for him?).

Moron this later.

An easy competition to run at each launch is a \"Best Finish\" competition.
Competitors submit their entries to a table near the hot dog grill for an hour or two say around lunch. Visitors can vote on the best painting and finish job.
I am not sure if there is a prize but it could be nice anyway.

What do people think?
