I have just joined. Got my first drone a few weeks ago. Never had one before, so I’m new to everything really about flying drones and doing it without getting into trouble.

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!

Where in S Staffs are you? I am in Fradley.

Hi Paul, and welcome to GADC! 
A first drone only a few weeks ago and already joining the club — you’ve landed in the right place. 
You said you’re new to everything at the moment, so I’m curious: what are you most interested in doing with the drone? Photography, video, just getting out and exploring, or something else entirely?
And, of course, which drone did you take the plunge and buy?
There’s a lot to learn, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had along the way. Hope you enjoy the club!
Also whats with this AI thing in the image below?

Hi Paul
Welcome to the Club. I suggest you find other members nearby. Why? Because, while it is fun to fly alone there is a lot more expertise and good banter in a group. Confidence grows quickly.
