Guys, half of my front room is both a practicing and recording facility, there’s many amps, wires and effect pedals everywhere, who cares about the wires from the tv? 😂

@bmsleight please don’t let this put you off organising future meet-ups. Members like yourself are highly valued by our club, even those of us who have been unable to support your events thus far.

Just wondering how many people drove to the meet-up and found the group vs how many did not?

Not a chance. Especially as I think I heard the sound of whooshing, might have been drone overhead.

We have one lined up next week as well (will post details, once I got a really, really accurate map. Just need to find my Red Socks.

I am sure rick, Jason, Lyn and other have good photos and videos form today. Heck Dr Mako flying is worth any amount of travel time.

Had a brilliant time, shooting some gaps with the Avata, yep even got cocky and crashed going through the 2 trees, forgot to pull up so became a Flymo, all good though. Looking forward to the next meet. Thank you @bmsleight Brendon, I think we all had a good time. You shoukd see @RestlessZombi Jason’s new toy, whoop whoop.

I can imagine this will have been a reciprocal sentiment by others - if these posts are representative examples of your social interaction

And strange that others managed to find the location OK and had an enjoyable meet.

wow!

I guess someone missed the last line of the opening paragraph.

or are they just being a troll, guess it worked… could probably see it coming with the opening post

I’m sure everyone at these events will be totally gutted, given your attitude in this thread.

@bmsleight Brendan, just in case you needed a list of attendees.  
@Riccar & Carol  
@RestlessZombi  
@doctormako  
@IanH  
@ANDMUL  
Sadly this is the only picture I have, Ian was setting up his drone on the pathway (I think), and to make it worse there is no video of my lawn mowing event 🤣  
We had great fun. Is the next scheduled meet for next Sunday?

I am sure I could organize a piss up in a brewery, flawlessly with my eyes closed. But having seen the pic of this last South East gathering, and in particular the bleak attendance level my **NEVER AGAIN** remains irreversible.
