Hi everyone, im Bob from Warrington, a complete novice to photography and the drone scene.I am almost 68 and retired from being a water mains repair engineer, and thought this could be a great hobby combined with my love for motorbikes.the Gray arrows club just looked fantastic for advice and general chats along with the full use of drone scene, still trying to get my head around all restrictions frz zones by laws and everything else, got my id done and thought it best to get a flyers id as well although apparently i dident need it as i treated myself to the mini pro4. Hope to chat to some of you soon. Regards, Bob.

Hi @Monksey and welcome to Grey Arrows 
Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too 
Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer 
Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.
Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!
Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.
And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.
Welcome once again!
