Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some pilots living near you. Feel free to add yourself to the members map too :+1:t2:

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.

Hi Cassie,
Welcome to GADC. I also live in Leicester and several years ago there was a thriving group of flyers in the Leicester Drone Cub who used to fly at the rear of the Gate Hangs Well pub in Syston every Sunday, sadly no more I understand since its dissolution during covid. These days I fly mainly overseas when I’m on vacation as I find it difficult to access places to fly in the U.K. but hope to manage a few flights out in the county prior to taking my DJI Air 3 to South Africa later in the year.

Nigel, it sounds like you know an old mutual friend of our club, Christian :smiley:

Certainly did. Christian was the leading light & organiser of the club. Since I experienced a minor stroke in 2010 which temporarily disrupted my vision, I decided it was inadvisable to continue to drive, so used to go by public transport from my home in south Leicester up to the north of the city where Christian would pick me up in his vehicle to take us both up to the Gate Hangs Well pub’s grounds for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon’s flying by the dozen or so members of the Leicester club’s FPV flyers and we more sedate camera drone folks!
