Photos and videos

PCC accepts that many of our members wish to take photographic/video memoirs of their trips with the club, compile trip videos and diaries for peers. This should not be discourages as precious moments should be captured for all time and shared with fellow paddle peers.

We as a club also like to put the best of the photos on our website, Facebook page and promotional posters etc. Videos and photographs may also be used for training purposes to identify improvements in techniques or compile training videos.

As members of the Pirates Canoe Club we all accept that we may be participating in photos and/or videos. These may be used in the following ways:

• Training and development
• Promotional club material such as posters, cards
• Club website,
• Club Facebook,
• Clubs memoirs/ trip reports
• Part of other members’ personal memoirs

All members are kindly asked to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Where appropriate please obtain the consent of members before taking of photos and video (this is generally more appropriate when you do not know your fellow members sufficiently).
• Photographs and videos should not be taken in areas considers personal or private such as changing rooms, wash rooms, rest rooms, dormitories or other such private spaces.
  This may result in disciplinary action, termination of membership and in certain circumstances may be referred to the relevant authorities.
• Never take photos that may be misused or detrimental to other members, associates or other persons.
• Junior members (under 18) or vulnerable persons should only be taken in open public places as part of membership group. In alternative where required as part of training to review techniques or promote ability prior written parental consent should be obtained.

In simple terms use common sense and respect peers The club committee has an obligation to its members’ to take appropriate action where complaints have been made and club guidelines have been breached.
