Had my mini 4 pro almost a year now, so better late than never joining GADC. Since joining, I have taken advantage of some of the discounts available. Notably the A2 C of C last weekend. As I currently am not very mobile, itโ€™s fantastic to see other members footage of places that I canโ€™t get to in a wheelchair. With my other recent interest in 3d printing, I have spent many hours reading members joint drone and 3d topics. Currently trying to get to grips with the Birthday Challenge, but doing a grand job in last place. ๐Ÿ‘Ž ---

Cheers @Foley . Iโ€™ll make sure I re-look at your meet photos from Sunday before the one at the end of the month. The location being wheelchair friendly is good for me. [Next page](https://greyarro.ws/t/hello-from-lichfield-area-staffordshire/100712.md?page=2)
