Greetings and salutations,
You see this image? This is the Steampunk Symposium Games Champion’s pin. The pin that the winner of each competition in the games gets to wear as a badge of honor. This metal engraved pin CANNOT be purchased. It can only be won.
The Symposium is just over 2 weeks away and the Symposium Games has several registered groups that are ready to compete in whatever competitions the Symposium can throw at them. (Or shoot at them)
Here is a list of those Airships or groups have are currently registered for the games:
Circle City Aerodrome
Airship Bolocor
Airship Archon
Airship Centroid
Airship Passpartout
H.M.S. Radiant Vangaurd
The Clan of Teks
Airship Hypatia
S.A.S. Eleanor Page
The Dastardly Alliance (Ace of Spaces with H.M.R.A.S. Valkyrie)
These group’s crew members, citizens or staff will be competing not only for the Steampunk Symposium Games Champions pins, but collectively they will be competing to win the Steampunk Symposium Games Trophy.
Now I KNOW that there are more Airships and Groups out there that want to compete in the games. Be sure to contact Caelyn Nagle via facebook or email (caelyn_8(at)hotmail.com) right away so we can send you the registration information. Only then will your group’s members have a chance to wear the Steampunk Symposium Games Champion’s pin.
If you are currently unaligned with any Airship or Group, but still want to compete in the games, don’t worry, there will be an Airship Recruitment Fair at the Symposium, or just raise your hand online, and I’m sure you’ll find a group that will snatch you up and add you to their rolls.

Greetings,
This is an update on the list of registered Remote Control Dirigibles that will be providing us with sport, entertainment and thrills during the symposium, specifically at the Dirigible Races event.
We currently have 6 definite entries into the Dirigible races and/or design competition across 4 groups.
The League of Cincinnati Steampunks, The Clan of Teks, Her Majesty’s Airship Omnipotent of the glorious Unspeakable Empire of Cheviot, and The Airship Passpartout will have RC Dirigibles at the Symposium. Will YOUR group be entering a dirigible? Below is the list of transmitter types and frequencies we currently have registered for the races:
There are two 2.4 ghz transmitters (registered by Clan of Teks and Airship Omnipotent)
There are two Infra Red (IR) transmitters (registered by Airship Omnipotent)
There is one 27mhz transmitter (registered by Airship Passpartout)
There is one 49mhz transmitter (registered by The League of Cincinnati Steampunks)
It is important to note that RC vehicles that run on 2.4 ghz transmitters do NOT usually interfere with each other. The same goes for Infra Red (IR) transmitters, so if you have the choice, when you build your Dirigibles, try to find “powerplants” that use these two types of transmitters.
There are also may be other flying vehicles brought along that do not fit under the Dirigible races specifications, but that will nonetheless be cool to have flying around the symposium air field. (ornithopters, gliders, etc) If you are going to bring these kinds of things, and they are remote controlled, please let me know your transmitter type and frequency as well, we don’t want any of them interfering with the dirigible races.
There is already one such non dirigible flying contraption registered that runs 49 Mhz.
If you will be bringing a remote control flying machine to the Symposium, and if you want to enter a Dirigible into the races or design competion, please contact me on Facebook or via email (caelyn_8 (at) hotmail.com) to register your RC flying machines. Make sure to mention “RC Dirigible Races” in the title of your email.
Thank You,
Caelyn Nagle of the Clan of Teks,
Dirigible Races Organizer for the Steampunk Empire Symposium.
