Anyone up for a meet at the Chesterfield Bando?

Sat 14th or Sun 15th - select preferred date in below poll.

Meet at or after 10:00am.

NB - there are no welfare facilities on site, so if natures calls, it’s a dash behind the bushes.

Also bring along your own drinks & food, if you plan to stay for a while.

If enough members confirm attendance, I’ll bring along a small gas stove, kettle, drinking water, tea, coffee, sugar & milk, you bring your own cups.

I can make either day if I’m allowed to attend - I got my drone a while ago but never flown it! Hoping to have my inaugural flight locally this Saturday (weather hopefully suitable according to AirDataUAV).

The more attendees the better, so you’re more than welcome.
If you’ve not flown your drone yet, bring it along, myself and other members will support / guide you on your maiden flight.
Only 3 months ago, I was flying my Avata 2 in beginner mode and then after 10-15 mentoring from @SparkyFPV, I was preforming stunts and going >30mph around the trees.

Sounds great!

Looking forward to it.

I’m available either Saturday or Sunday so as long as I know which day, I’ll be there!

After checking the poll, it would seem Sun 15th is the day that suits all potential attendees, so let’s go for that day.

@GADC_Committee - would you kindly change the title of the thread please, so that it reads “Sun 15th Sept”

I’ll close the poll.
