The Drone Club meets the fourth Monday evening of each month from 7 to 8 p.m. in Room 104 at the Creative Arts Technology Center. We have no dues, and attendance is open for any Robson resident who is interested in anything that is drone related, regardless of what they own or understand but have a desire to learn more about. We encourage all attendees to join our free membership in Groups.io at groups.io/g/rrdroneclub and to visit our website, robsontech.club/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-robson-recreational-drone-pilot.

The Oct. 23 presentation was focused on “Presenting What Is Necessary for a Robson Recreational Pilot to Ensure That All the Necessary Preparations Have Been Completed Before an Actual Drone Flight.”

We had a good group of Robson attendees who interacted during the Drone Club presentation with the following agenda: Pre-Flight Log and Map, Pre-Flight Checklist, Trust Test Cert, Drone Reg Cert, Drone ID Sticker, and CBO Guidelines.

Please note: There will be a drawing for a DJI Mini Drone with the best chance to win by attending our November meeting (more details will be provided at our November meeting).

Our next meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 27, starting at 7 p.m. in Room 104 at the Creative Arts and Technology Center (9404 Ed Robson Blvd.) where we will be hearing from a commercial drone pilot who recently purchased the new DJI Mini 4 Pro, which he has incorporated into his drone business

We hope to see everyone then.
