Today, Wednesday August 17th, 2022 is the Grey Arrows Drone Club’s fifth birthday!
Happy Birthday to Us!
You are all either watching or participating in the Birthday Challenge and Treasure Hunt where finding 24 items and their associated bonuses can gain you a maximum of 95 points.
And points mean prizes! (and headaches for the scorers if they have to work out percentages). Which is why we are introducing a 25th subject, worth a total of five points, to bring the maximum possible score up to 100 shiny GADC points! ![]()
What better way to celebrate a Birthday than with craftsmanship, cards, candles and cakes? The craft comes with you creating a card for GADC from scratch and decorating a home-made or store bought cake.
The card must be a hand-made by you and wishing GADC a Happy Birthday. Any media may be used including crayon, finger paints, collage, pasta, decoupage, found objects, sticky-backed plastic and glitter. (Get a responsible adult to help you with scissors and glue)
Who likes cake?
Your cake can be baked by yourself or bought from a shop for you to decorate. It must prominently feature the initials GADC or the words Grey Arrows Drone Club as well as any other decoration you see fit. It must also have five birthday candles on it, capable of being lit.
And now you have crafted these two unique items - what next?
For a total of five points:
25. Create a unique GADC Birthday Card from scratch and post the photo
- Post a photo of the card suspended from a drone
- Decorate a cake - with GADC written on it - and add 5 birthday candles (photo)
- Fly your drone to blow out all the candles at once (video)
The above four items may be photographed by any camera. Videos must be 30 seconds or less.
- Post a photo or video taken by drone of an organised public celebration
