Hi, a total newbie here (so far I’ve managed to fly in a room as my DJI arrived yesterday) - I’ve arranged the flyer/operator ID, but I have zero experience and I am a bit struggling with finding out about the ‘byelaws’ - it’s not super clear where I can and I can not fly.
Happy to meet, learn and exchange experience.

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.

Hi Roobie . Use Drone Assist .

As well as a mountain of other useful data related to airspace too.

Hi @robertk and welcome to the club!
If you are in Cheam and want somewhere easy and safe to get started, Nonsuch Park is probably your best bet. There is an area right next to one of the car parks that I have used which is open (few trees to get stuck in!) and seems to have very few people walking through it so I generally get the place to myself.
I might even pop in there on Saturday morning, weather permitting, as I will likely be passing it anyway
If you do, please add Nonsuch to Drone Scene, I’m surprised it’s not on there already
Many a day spent there as a kid growing up
Hi from sunny Blackpool
this is super useful PingSpike! I’ve searched the forums, but haven’t seen that! thank you!
thank you very much, I’ve seen contradicting posts about Non Such Park, so it’s reassuring to read this as a fresh post!
I will add this to the Places To Fly and Drone Scene but for the record, bylaws are here:
Which is refreshingly sensible compared to most London parks 
So if anyone is around and interested, my plan is to get to the above spot in Nonsuch Park about 11am tomorrow Sat 29th March, probably for an hour or two. Weather looks dry and sunny and low wind so should be ideal.
Anyone welcome to join me, or not, I will be the one in the camping chair and weird goggles.
Jason
