Displaying photographs on the BOFRA website

There are many photographs of our events on this website, which provide a visual reminder of the day. These are mainly of past years now as it is now more common to share photographs on Facebook or Google

Whilst there is no legislation governing how photographs of sporting events should be displayed on the internet, the committee feels that it is important to take appropriate steps to safeguard those individuals who are subject of the photos we display.

Guidance is available to help organisations that host photographs of children, as a result of which:

• Only appropriate photos will be displayed on the site;
• all photos are subject to copyright;
• if an individual does not wish to have photographs of themselves or their family displayed on the website, then they will be removed;

If you do not wish to have photographs of yourself or your children displayed on the website, please contact the webmaster.

If you have any photos which you would like to include on the website, please contact the webmaster.

Copyright

Why have a copyright notice? The law on copyright is plain. If an individual has taken a photograph then it may only be used with their permission. Putting a photo on a web site does not imply that permission is granted for the photograph to be used for any purpose by others.

The position on my own photographs is as follows:

• If you are the subject in the photograph, then you are very welcome to take the the image off the website and use it for whatever purpose you choose.
• Any other person, not the subject of the photograph, wishing to use a photograph must ask my permission and I will obtain the permission of the person in the photograph.

Where photos on the BOFRA website are the work of other photographers, credit is given where possible, unless they choose not to be named. The copyright of the photo belongs to the photographer and their permission should be sought before the image is used.

This copyright applies to all photographs on this website and whilst not a legal necessity, a copyright notice is added on the photo pages.

Woodheads’ photographs – Additional information

This website is fortunate to have numerous photographs from Dave and Eileen Woodhead and has explicit permission to display them.
Whilst copies may be obtained by individual subjects of the photo for their personal use, these photographs are used in a number of local and national publications and therefore their release and use needs to be properly controlled. If you wish to use these photos on any other website, publication or other commercial environment, approval must be sought from the photographer and appropriate acknowledgement should be recorded within the publication.

To contact Dave and Eileen, telephone 01535 669100 or write to 166, Hainworth Wood Road, Keighley, West Yorkshire, BD21 5DF

Non-photographic material

The website design is the work of multiple people and has evolved somewhat over time with  improvements being made to automate the process of displaying results etc.  Contributions exist from Paul Wood, Tim Done, Richard Handford and now from myself.  It is now a mix of Word Press along with custom PHP for the more complex pages.

If you wish to re-use any code or ideas please feel welcome.

Thanks,
Geoff
