During the last few days at BM 2025, a number of folks asked me when are we next meeting up at one of the below Derbyshire locations.
The conversations revolved around Chesterfield Bando, Crich Quarry, Harborough Rocks & Magpie Mine.
See location the Drone Scene links below -
Chesterfield Bando
Crich Quarry
Harborough Rocks
Magpie Mine
Each of these superb locations give you a different view of the historic industrial areas of Derbyshire.
- Chesterfield Bando
- Crich Quarry
- Harborough Rocks
- Magpie Mine
You can pick up to two locations.
With this last weekend, being the Big Meet, folks may be tired, skint or want to spend their weekend with family. Which is completely understandable. This forthcoming Sunday is also Fathers Day too, so we will give Sun 15th June a miss.
Please pick the ideal date, in the poll below.
Apologies, I’m going to have remove the 06/07/2025 from the poll because it’s the Crich Memorial Weekend. The place will be chock-a-block with veterans attending and it’s the respectful thing to do too.
- Sunday 22/06/2025
- Sunday 29/06/2025
- Sunday 06/07/2025
Again you can pick up to two dates.
I’ll close the poles on Saturday 14th June, so you have 5 days to have a vote.
Meet up time will be 10:00hrs

Magpie Mine might be busy with visitors on a Sunday.
I’m also not going to vote. None of the Sundays are free for me. The only slightly possible one would have been 29th, but I will probably fly at Drone Circle then if the weather is good.

Absolutely, unfortunately I can’t make the other dates but maybe we can meet at Crich Quarry another day. Hope you all have a great day. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Poll open for only another 48hrs
Crich Quarry is currently leading by 2 votes, however there’s still time to change that.
As I’ve said before 
I will only cast my vote, if we have a draw.
