The club often uses images of our paddling in the newsletter, website and for publicity of the sport. As a member of Liverpool Canoe Club, you are asked to allow images of yourself or your family to be published to help publicise the sport. You can ask for any photograph or image to be removed or taken down at any time, or indeed ask anyone with a camera not to photograph you or your family. We really will not mind.
Members are reminded that when they joined the club, they would have read and accepted the warning that “canoeing is an assumed risk activity.” In particular, attention is drawn to paragraph 14.2 of our constitution.
14.2. In participating in activities related to outdoor pursuits, members and prospective Members are responsible for their own safety and well-being. The club as a body, the officers of the Club and the members and prospective Members will not be held responsible in law should accident, injury or death befall Members or prospective Members voluntarily enjoining in such activities. Before becoming a Prospective Member a waiver of any claim against the club must be signed by applicants who must also agree to abide by the club constitution and guidelines. Individuals are advised to seek advice related to insuring themselves against mishap.
