The Great Big GADC 6th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

Repurposed containers are no longer, to our understanding, containers and certainly not the 40-foot dry freight (general purpose) ISO containers that will earn you a bonus.

In much the same way, if we had asked for a picture of pine trees and you presented us with a few boxes of matches, claiming them as repurposed trees, we would not allow that :slight_smile:

Thought not :+1:

Just sneaking in with another one for today. Repurposing a birthday celebration at the local pub for the GADC 6th birthday :slight_smile:

26. Birthday celebrations - host a party with at least five guests (and yourself). At least one guest must be a fellow GADC member - 2 points - You can advertise the meet with a post in here

  • Bonus point for a single photograph showing all the attendees holding a homemade GADC 6th Birthday Card (Drone Picture)
  • Bonus point for a GADC 6th Birthday Cake with six candles (Any Camera)
  • Bonus point for blowing out all six candles with the drone in one pass (Video from any source)
  • Bonus point for all participants lying on the ground forming a giant 6 (Drone Picture)

Held a party with one of our newest members @Adyswife complete with homemade cards and cake:


A big 6:

And the candle snuffing:

The Gait Inn, Millington - All DJI Mini 3 Pro Wednesday 6/9/23

There’s a photo with homemade cards
A cake (baked by yours truly) with 6 candles
The drone snuffed the candles
And everyone lay down in 6th position.

Curiosity killed the cat… I had to go back for a closer look…

Nice spot Chall Com, you can sleep well tonight knowing that the operator has a sense of humour and is not stuck up there waiting to be rescued. :laughing:

Thanks for competing, John, always a pleasure to have you in a Challenge but good to know that you have plenty of work to keep the wolf from the door. Hope to see you in an RTF or a Calendar Competition soon!

Six points Ian. The motorcyclist in the background of the card shot seems totally unfazed!

Didn’t even spot him until I looked at the photos!

Can only assume he came out whilst the drone was in the air!
