Hi all

Just come across the site so thought I would say hello

Been flying my phantom for a few years now but would love to find a local club/meet up if anyone knows of one ?

Thanks for having me

Hi @Gemk2808 and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for Public Liability Insurance? Then look no further, we offer £5,000,000 worth of cover to our Insured Members. Details of our insurance can be found at:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Interested in upgrading your level of membership of our Club? Read about all the benefits of Silver and Gold membership at:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

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.

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 Associates are able to enjoy a lot of great services for free but our 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!

Of course :smiley:

Hundreds and hundreds of local meets have taken place over the years.

As the saying goes, if you build it, they will come.

What is a 100% guarantee is that if you don’t set something up then nobody will come. :zany_face:

Yesterday’s meetup, near Portsmouth, is good evidence and example.
It was only set up initially because I’d sold something to another member, he suggested a meetup to hand over the item and cash.

Nine people were there, some for five hours, and that was a midweek afternoon. :+1:

Try not to overthink it too @Gemk2808 :slight_smile:

As @ianinlondon said on his video, you’re flying somewhere anyway so simply drop a pin on the map with a time and date and see if anyone would like to join you in flying :smiley:

And a belated hi from just up the road in Wigan :waving_hand:t2:
