Code of Conduct

• When attending club meetings, members will be asked to be respectful of their fellow members and be supportive of their photography that is up for review or discussion. The offering of feedback shall be constructive and in no way deliberately negative or used as a form of personal attack.

• Member’s photographs are their own intellectual property and no one else either within or outside of the club is allowed to use the work without their permission.

• Members are not to use a fellow member's work without their express permission that is given either verbally or in writing.

• Posting a photograph to the Facebook page or WhatsApp Group or submitting a photograph for review, a challenge, internal competition or exhibition grants Kells Photography Club the right to display the image on the club’s Social Media pages or online gallery. The submissions do not grant Kells Photography Club the right to use the photography for any other purpose without the member’s express permission.

• Any offensive behaviour, including racist, sexist, bullying or inflammatory remarks by club members shall not be permitted in any way. If such instances occur, they will be respectively dealt with by committee members and if necessary a private interview with the member(s) concerned will held with the Chairperson and Secretary. The committee can for the duration of the instances suspend the member(s) until they agree to act in a reasonable manner.

• However if it is found that the member’s conduct or re-occurring conduct after a period of suspension makes their continued membership untenable then the committee as a whole will have the power to expel the member in question without refund of their subscription monies.
