PHOTOGRAPHY & PUBLICITY

Any photographs taken at U3A Adelaide Hills events may be used for publicity purposes. If you do not wish your image to be used it is your responsibility to move to the sidelines to allow photography of the rest of the group. Failure to do this implies tacit approval of the policy and your inclusion in the photograph.

Members please be aware that most activities involve some element of risk. While U3A Adelaide Hills maintains Public Liability Insurance and will endeavour to protect your safety, all risk cannot be totally avoided. Please choose activities suited to your individual interest, fitness and ability. Members participate at their own risk.
