Hi all
New guy here I’ve just purchased the potensic atom 2 fly more package I’m just waiting for it to be delivered I’ve just paid for the gold membership for the year on here.
My name’s Chris and I live near Portsmouth so if anyone else is near me it would be great to get to know you and maybe meet up and help me learn all about my new drone and flying it.
I look forward to chatting to you guys

Hey Chris,
Welcome to the club.
I’m a few miles north of Portsmouth and look forward to meeting up at some point.
I’m still fairly new here myself, but have already been on a couple of the South-East Meet ups (Hayling Island & Seaford in Sussex), there was a Havant one recently too that I couldn’t make. I highly recommend them, fun afternoon out with like minded, friendly and supportive flyers. It’s a great introduction to drone flying and a real confidence booster.
Have fun and no doubt see you soon.
Bart
Welcome @badcompany to GADC.
Hi from sunny Blackpool
Hi and welcome to GADC 
Hey Chris @badcompany Welcome to GADC I’m not far from you, as the crow flies at least, as I live and fly in Pompey.
Those of us along this stretch of the coast have regular regional ‘meet ups’ which you would probably enjoy and, most probably, benefit from. Keep an eye out for our next meet up and consider coming along to join in the fun and shenanigans.
