Everyone taking part in the Colchester Creative Shots [CCS] activities does so at their own risk.

We, CCS, do not employ qualified guides, leaders or first aiders on any of our events. The group works on a similar principle to that of being a group of friends who go out walking together, who invite others to join them on this basis. CCS, event organisers and event hosts assume no responsibility for anyone attending any group event. The Group, group organisers, CCS, event organisers and event hosts will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Group event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused.

When you join a walk or other event, whether or not you have signed up for it on the club forum, you indicate that you accept these conditions and accept that no legal liability is accepted by CCS, the group, group organisers, event organisers or event hosts in the event of accident or injury, however caused.

Participants in Group events are reminded that outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) ; CCS and/or the group do not provide these. Participants are responsible for assessing their own risk, the safety of themselves and their guests and the suitability of any equipment used.

While accepting no responsibility or liability, for walks and other outdoor events, the event host or walk leader may, at their discretion, not admit you to join the walk or other event if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.

Dogs are usually allowed at outdoor events or photoshoots but this is entirely at the discretion of the event leader- please see the individual Meetup event details or contact the event leader – dogs must be kept under close control at all times and on a lead where necessary or requested by the event leader.
