Club Christmas BBQ – Club Rooms Burwood

Saturday 2nd December – 11am – 2pm

December, we plan our members Christmas Celebration BBQ lunch where we can all catch up – so mark in the Saturday 2nd December, 11am – 2pm and hopefully the weather gods will look kindly upon us. We will cover the snags, sauces and soft drinks but please bring a small plate to share – a salad in varied forms is always good, as are mice pies, shortbread and other essential food-groups.
We will be open a little earlier to set up and pack up – if you have some energy and a little spare time to help, your committee would be grateful.
If you are attending, please drop a note to vk3er email so we have a chance to cater appropriately.

EMDRC – Last High Altitude Balloon Launch


Another great community STEM experiment comes to an end – WOW!!!! That was a just totally amazing outdoor STEM adventure. It wouldn’t be fair for me to say something like that unless I had experienced it myself, but now having experienced how cool an outdoor STEM activity like HAB (High Altitude Ballooning) can be, I have to say……it’s possibly one of the best hobbies I have had the privilege to dabble with over the years. Its also going to be a while before the adrenalin levels come down across the group :), this one sure gives us all a real high. The last launch literally kept us all on our toes from start to the end. High Altitude Ballooning definitely has to be one of the few outdoor STEM activities that has the ability to engage kids of all ages (6-66+) and bring makers, creators, tinkerers, science enthusiasts, and their families together.


Thank you to everyone who helped make the Feb 2023 High Altitude Balloon launch a massive success. A big thanks to the EMDRC committee including Martin VK3FG, John VK3PZ, Luke VK3UKW, Brad VK3BKQ and Andrew VK3BQ for their ongoing support. A massive thanks to the entire launch team including everyone who helped with tracking and recovery of the payload. It’s humbling to be part of an initiative supported by such a warm bunch of individuals all passionate about STEM and High Altitude Ballooning. Complete Report
