📷 Photography:
We encourage you to take photos on our walks, but we ask that you do not share photos that include people’s faces anywhere public, including meetup, without their clear permission.
Occasionally group photos may be taken during walks. The photographer will always tell you where this will be shared, but this could include meetup, the 20s and 30s members’ WhatsApp group, or for promotional purposes - the Gloucestershire Walking Group website.
If you do not want to be in a photo, please stand away. If you need to withdraw photo consent after an image is taken or shared, or if you have any concerns, please email: GWG20s30s@hotmail.com.
We have some great photographers in our group, but any images shared by attendees should also not be re-shared without their permission
