Hi. Just joined as a Silver member. I’ve just acquired my first drone (Mini 5 Pro) and I’ve got Flyer and Operator IDs.
I’ve not even tried a first flight yet (garden too small!).
Feels like a steep learning curve but I’m looking forward to the first take off once I can find somewhere without restrictions.

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.
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!

Hi Rocket. I was aware of the meet up and thanks for the reminder/invite. I’m going to pass this time thanks as I feel I need a bit of on-my-own-low-pressure-very-large-safe-space practice for my first flight. Next time though……
