Governing Document
Aims - This group was set up to document the lives of the people of the Consett area through photography, both colour and monochrome. We intend to show many aspects of the life of the people of Consett, cultural, working, leisure and any other aspects we consider of interest. This will be an non-profit making venture
Methods - The photographers in the group will contact likely subjects personally, through social media and by recommendation and organize a photoshoot(s) at mutually convenient times.
Outcomes - The photographs will be processed and edited and uploaded to social media platforms with the consent of the participants. Other methods of displaying the photographs, such as exhibitions and books will also be considered.
Code of Conduct - The photographers will always be respectful of any participants wishes, including those who do not wish to be photographed or have their images posted on social media. They will also follow any legal requirements that apply either locally or nationally at any time. All participants will be given a data consent form to read and sign so they understand fully how their images and data will be used by the group.
Commitee -
Chair George Ledger
Secretary Chris Bruce
Treasurer David Leck
These committee positions will be rotated on a regular basis and reconsidered if and when other people join the group.
Finances - This will be a not-for-profit organisation but it may be possible that we apply for funds from appropriate sources to enable different projects to be initiated. It will be a unincorporated association.
In the event of the group ceasing operating any unused funds will be donated to a local charity.
Membership - The group will be open to any photographers, or other visual artists, that the committee feel would enhance the work of the group in the projects they undertake. Membership would not require any other commitment other that to abide by the groups code of conduct.
