Greetings from the West Mids!

Evening all, been wanting a drone for a while and thought it was time I took it seriously and looked at the Do’s & Dont’s

I’m Kris, I’m 38 and a lover of music, books and anything food related. I also like My Coffee and Tech. I have a Go Pro and looking to try something new :blush:

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.


We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’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 it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!

I was saying to the Mrs the other day, can’t wait till our local site opens. It’s all part of Cannock Chase so it’s quite close and they have showers etc on site so it’ll keep her happy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: that’s why I want to get my drone, I reckon I can get some pretty decent footage from around that way

Yeah I was looking this morning, may not make it in time for the meet this year but defo looking to meet some people and go from there :upside_down_face:
