Irony.

It would be interesting to know what someone did with drones there in the past that caused that rule to be created. I suspect it has nothing to do with the love (or hate) of radio controlled devices.

WOW What a Lovely Wedding!! Sorry We cant have food. The wedding planner will love the fact that you can't bring anything unless you unbox it in the van. leave the kids and the pets in the car with your purse.
and you will love the shaky wedding photos.

Maybe there was an incident involving just one of the listed and they decide to create a list with several items including drones out of precaution because they know people will want to bring drones.

The rental fee is between $350 and $450 depending on the type desired of photography session

Saw something about not taking photos at Shugborough Hall near Stafford years ago. This was the ancestral home of Patrick Litchfield, renowned royal photographer! Girlfriend dragged me away when I spotted him walking across the courtyard……

If we continue to allow "drones" to be included in a list of boiler plate prohibited items, pretty soon you won't be able to bring your drone (implied as "fly" your drone) in any interesting places. I'm not happy that drones end up on the same short list as skateboards where the general public makes assumption whenever they see one. The sign should read "drones welcome on our private property. please check in with the front destroy to get a free drone pass" and then if you don't want to issue passes....up to you. Maybe only allow drones at the very beginning of the day before the foot traffic picks up. Maybe have a designated spot in the parking lot where drones can take off or land.

My point is "drones? see the front desk" is better than "here's a list of bad bad dangerous items including *weaponry* we don't allow on the property."

Spot on.
In my short time and few flights I have had a few conversations with the public they have all been genuinely interested in the drone and impressed with the view on the screen, I don't fly low when people are out enjoying the countryside I think a little common sense goes a long way in this hobby.
As for these places putting restrictions on drones maybe limit how many can fly at the same time, how low they can fly and times they can fly.

I wonder if the anti-drone brigade will be happy when their 'prohibitions' apply to the inevitable Amazon and Google drones, or the ones slated to deliver their weekly shopping? Or might they decide that those drones (also fitted with cameras) aren't flown by idiots, hooligans, criminals or perverts?

Now that would be ironic.

FYI, you might want to give credit where credit is due. I don't mind people sharing my non-commercial posts from Facebook, but letting folks know where you got it is common courtesy.

Or strollers.

Or large bags.

Or a snickers bar.

Or a sippy cup of apple juice for the toddler I'm having to carry around with all the loose baby care items in my other arm, backpacks and large bags being prohibited.

I could go on. Drone pilots are hardly being singled out for oppression. Someone in charge is still bitter over losing the class president election in 4th grade

Yes, large bag accidents can be catastrophic, overwhelming hospital emergency rooms with mass-casualty event situations.
