🥁🥁🥁 _ **Drum roll!!** _ 🥁🥁🥁 Here’s the announcement that you’ve all been waiting for with bated breath! * * * Theme #2 **Weeks 4, 5 & 6 - Geometric Patterns** –– From 28/02/20 to 20/03/20 _**(amended)**_ — _Straight down shots that form interesting patterns ([examples](https://www.google.com/search?q=geometric+patterns+drone&newwindow=1&safe=off&client=ms-android-samsung-gs-rev1&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyyfiO5K7nAhXSNcAKHVJoBkEQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1309&bih=779))_ * * * _As you will see, with current weather forecasts suggesting that we are in for more unhelpful weather, we’ve changed **Theme #2** to also run for three weeks starting today, and therefore postponing the start of **Theme #3** by a further week._ _We decided not to extend **Theme #1** any further since it was felt that this would be unfair to those that have made a concerted effort to get out in the wind/rain and fly in order to make a submission._ _For the time being, the duration of **Theme #3** remains at just the original two weeks - unless, nearer its commencement, the weather forecasts are again total pants._ * * * On your marks, get set, **FLY!** **Don’t forget - you can win one badge per theme!** > [@Committee](#): > > The winners of each of the three Themes will be the people who’s entries are judged (by the [Grey Arrows Drone Club Committee](https://greyarro.ws/badges/132/squadron-leader)) to be the best. The winners for each Theme will be announced at the end of the Challenge, not at the end of each theme. We have to keep you on your toes, it’s a challenge remember 🙂 ---

I have a couple of ideas… but they both need permission so they mightn’t come to anything. Don’t ask, don’t get. 🙂 ---

> [@Committee](#): > > All media must have been captured in the UK _(For our overseas members, all media must have been captured in your home country)_ Wondered about this last time around… what’s the reasoning behind this rule? Sure it’s sensible, but shame you can’t use anything from when on holiday. ---

Several reasons. But consider the current weather. If we get three weeks of wind and rain in the UK, is it fair that someone who is on holiday in the sunshine has that advantage? When it was a winter challenge, with snowy scenes to be taken, would it have been fair to the vast majority of the membership if those fortunate to be on a skiing holiday submitted entries? etc. ---

I guess… though holiday tends to be the time I actually get a chance to fly - living in a city and not having a car limits options for getting out locally. No holidays planned in the near future so I wouldn’t have much opportunities either way. 🙂 ---
