Anyone fancy Pewley Down on 20th July ?
Had a quick look today

Intro
Want to chat drones ?
Want to drink tea and watch drones ?
Want to build confidence of flying ?
Want to try other drones ?
Want to just fly and not by the only drone flyer ?
Darn it I just want to fly my drone!

Everyone welcome. FPV’er, Camera Drones or even people who not a got a drone yet. No drone police, but do not be an arsehole rule applies.

Bring Grey Arrows name badges (if you have them)
Bring tea, coffee, snacks and refreshments.
Bring batteries.
Bring spares, props!
Bring a chair!
Bring first aid kit (half joking, we once had a cut finger).

Without a Drone
Still welcome. I can bring bring my DJI Mavic Mini and my analogue FPV whoop. Either set can be used by anyone. Both I have crashed multiple times. Both have been crashed by others and me and are gathering dust in-between meet-ups. Just let me know below and I will add them to by bag.

Oh crap, this was looking very positive until I checked my calendar. This is the same day as The Drone Safe Store and Voltage Models are holding their first Summer bbq event this year…and we’ve got tickets!

Always a great day out so I’m afraid I can’t make it to Pewley Down on the 20th.

Maybe next time Brendan :crossed_fingers:

Sorry Brendan, I can’t make this. P

It’s the w/e of my daughter’s gender reveal, otherwise I would have definitely been there. Next one!

Surely female ? But nowadays who knows

That’s why we’re having a gender reveal, we don’t know :joy:. I’m hoping a girl!

I’d be up for that :slight_smile: :+1:

Oh your expectant daughter (your grandchild)

As I say in todays day and age you can never tell

What is the actual distance from the car park to the flying spot? Due to old work injury I am not that good on walking long distances, this is why I ask

Looks great location, I know the company will be excellent, but away that day.

Work - you know the thing that pays for my drones… Annoyed my plans.

I need to travel this weekend. I will not be able to host.

Can anyone host ?

(@GADC_Committee the roll-over of the polls not working for me - could you tag the people whom said “Fair weather…” and “If the stars align”

Hi @bmsleight :smiley:

What do you mean by “the roll-over of polls” ?

No, sorry, we can’t either!

I’ll be there but probably not until 11

I can’t guarantee I’ll be there early enough to set up but happy to help. Otherwise, this:
