Hi @Ash3 Ash & welcome along, north wales lovely part of the country, > [@Ash3](#): > > where do you meet up to fly drones in my area? You can keep your eye open in the #Meetups thread for any meet ups in your area & or you can always organise one yourself to see if you get any interest, the meet-ups on here are usually very very successful with many attendees & some days a few but all the same & is always good to meet up with other like minded people having a chat & flying drones, Hope you enjoy & welcome once again πŸ˜ƒ ---
