Chesterfield Bando Meet - 15th Sept 2024

Everybody’s welcome but please be considerate when parking as it’ll probably get tight.
Weather will be bipolar with unicorns and snowflakes indoors. Outdoors will be mostly muggy with some tears at times between battery changes and the sound of thunder as drones in manual mode bounce off metal poles snap props and vent batteries.

Looking at the forecast, we should be ok for tomorrow.

I plan to be there for around 0930, so I can set up the new drone gates in one of long poorly light buildings.

As promised, I’ll bring along tea & coffee supplies, just bring your own mugs.

Catch you all tomorrow, have a safe journey.

Light showers may have stopped the outdoor flights :disappointed_relieved: but it doesn’t stop the kettle boiling :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Whilst we were primarily there to fly the Bando, I took a few snaps of the Graffiti that adorned the walls.

Some of the art work was very detailed.
