I’m organising a club meetup at Barr Beacon North Car Park :smiley:

When: Sunday, 16th August 2026

Start time: 10:00

Approximate end time: 14:00

Suitable for drone types: Camera Drones & FPV Drones

Can you join us? If so, hit the relevant button to register your interest and be kept up to date:

      I'll be there!     Thinking about it

Additional notes:
We will be there for 10am If you get there any earlier we always park in front of the blue binoculars (unless some dog walker has jumped in our space). Please try to keep this space clear. Please note on the map where we are as we are in the north car park, if you get the right gate you can see traffic lights. There is a height restriction of 2.67m / 8.9ft use the left lane to avoid tyre damage as there are two lanes (right if you are coming out). A great location for people who have any mobility issues as you can fly from your car and should it rain then you can sit in your car until it stops. No toilets on site but look on map for places.

Message the forum if you have difficulty.

Got a remote control car… bring it too. Off road one? Ask about the off road area for the car.

Not got a drone, thinking about it, plenty of drones to have a look at and lots of advice. Don't forget to come and see me when you get there (somewhere by the orange car) so we can check you in. If we have printed a card for you please bring it. If we have not then come and ask us for one to be printed.

Barr Beacon is a nice open space high up and on a good day you can see the mountains in Wales which is quite impressive. Also on clear days you can see Birmingham Air Port.

Whilst we put a finish time of about 2pm if the car park is clear we sometimes stick around longer. We have been there up to 6pm lol

Note the current notam on this site ends the day before so no problem.

Please remember to wear your official Membership ID card to this club meetup — it helps other members recognise you straight away.

Official club meetup ID cards and lanyards are available from our shop:

Tagging regional group @group-westmidlands to let you all know :person_raising_hand:t2:

Hope to see you there!

John, we need words as well as everyone needs an explanation

So my head buried in t shirt. I was being nice giving my portable wi fi password out to people (including John). Could not see screen so found shade in t shirt. I could sense a camera and blames @foleymrs and it appears @johnb78 was happy for her to take the blame.

You do a mate a favour and what does he do.

JOHN. BE AWARE, BE VERY AWARE, THE CAMERA IS COMING.
