Meetup at Hampshire Farm Meadows, Havant, South East at 17:00 on Thursday, 21st August 2025

Andy @Topscooby will be inviting us to Alex Park soon but the weather is against us. Once the present bout of unruly winds have passed we are going to be at the equinox with potential gales.

Alex Park would make a great deal of sense as it needn’t be cancelled if the weather turns iffy - the cafe looks ideal for sitting in the warm and dry exchanging bullshit stories :slight_smile:

I thought I had found a good site - the land south of Havant Thicket, north of Staunton Park is being made into a reservoir. But both the Forestry car park and the Stauhnton Park facility close by 5pm, additionally Forestry England don’t allow drone flying in their forests (no mention of over though!). I’ve given Google Earth a good scouring and can’t see anywhere with access and parking, apart from the constuction site itself. I’ll contact Portsmouth Water to see if a visit can be arranged.

Hayling Heavy AA site should quieten down once the scholars are back in their seats of learning. I need to fly soon as I have an idea to spped the Matrice up and a new piece of kit arriving that needs playing with!
