Flying clubs near Ipswich, Suffolk

Are there any clubs near Ipswich Suffolk for beginners,I emailed a local club I found on Fb and never received a reply,
I still haven’t built up the courage to fly my drone.
Thanks

Thanks for that, very kind of you.
I will bear that in mind if I can’t find anything local

Hi @Terryr1. I haven’t got any firsthand experience with flying clubs, but I’m only in Norwich so drop me a message if you want any help or advice. I currently fly the DJI Mini 2 and have been flying for about 18 months or so now.

If you’re looking for places to fly, have a look on Drone Scene where you’ll find lots of information on flight restrictions and good places to fly.

@overdrive819 @Terryr1 hiya, I’m also in Ipswich searching for a drone club. I’ve just recently got my drone and have used it the last few days in Felixstowe at night and Rushmere area as it’s nice and clear in the fields with a good(ish) view

Me too, just bought my first Dji drone, Mini 3 pro. My first flight was at the Martlesham Heath control tower museum 2 weeks ago. Schools are out for summer Hols and no one around. Used the concrete carpark as a hard take off and landing zone. I grew up on the Heath so now the area really well, live in Ipswich now. Want to go back after some more experience and shoot a video of the control tower.
Great Forum though, thanks to all involved.
