Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

Weā€™re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so itā€™s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

Our Bronze Members are able to enjoy a lot of great services for free but our Silver and Gold Members are eligible for a whole lot more! Read all the details about our Membership Benefits?

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what itā€™s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!

@Eyeball - hello!

There are quite a few of us in the Fareham / Portsmouth / Southampton area and we have the occasional meetup with a variety of aircraft and skill levels. There are plenty of people who will give advice and practical help.

If you join the regional group (click the link and then click ā€œJoinā€) you will get an automatic notification of the South-East Region activities.

Also look at Drone Scene to find sites that others have flown, complete with helpful and informative comments about conditions and facilities.

Unfortunately there is a fair amount of the Gosport area that is in Flight Restriction Zones or are prohibited military establishments. The FRZ around Fleetlands isnā€™t an insurmountable obstacle, the controllers are friendly and permission can normally be granted for flying outside of their operating hours (evenings and weekends in the main)

Solent Airport, the old Daedelus, is a different matter. Best accept that they are either unco-operative or out for money :frowning:

If you want to know about sites around Hayling and the Havant area then reply here or message me, I have written most of them up on Drone Scene!

Out for money contrary to CAA rules. I had experience of this last year. They didnā€™t get a penny from me or anyone else involved with the event that day.
