Contact UKRA in UK.
Ever been to the IRW, thats a great event to get to meet people.
UKRA is the UK national rocketry body. More info can be found at
As mentioned point your news reader at uk.tech.rocketry and chat with folks a little more local to you.
Hope this helps.

As other posters have said, you should subscribe to uk.tech.rocketry and consider joining UKRA.
You've probably been flying Estes black powder LPR stuff? The next step is generally to move up to AP & HPR. It's quite a big step at present in the UK. Officially, Estes in the UK stops at D (The Estes BP E, though technically illegal, does turn up sometimes), but HPR pretty much start at G with Pro38. Aerotech used to fill that gap, but are no longer available. To be able to buy AP you need to fill out some paperwork and get some licenses. Details are on the UKRA site.
As for kit recommendations for that next step, we have some good vendors in the UK. You can see a list at
Hey! That's a new web site to me!
No posts to their email list for _years_.
1936. Anyone beat that?
Not heard from them recently, but they were pretty active with launches at the same site as the IRW HPR takes place.
STAAR is pretty much John Bonsor, who organises:
Excellent event!
Are they the guys from Scotalnd? I do believe they are the oldest rocket club in the world.
Scotland. Yup.
