Central
Coast Speedway Kart Club (CCSKC) have adopted the following guidelines
for all photographers wishing to attend race meetings at Gosford Kart Speedway.
The following guidelines come into effect immediately.
Guidelines
for all Photographers:
From
the 1st January 2007 anybody who is taking photos and selling them
must apply for accreditation from the AKA. Transwest (AKA Insurance)
will determine whether they require separate insurance or will be covered
under the AKA insurance policy. Accreditation will only be granted
by the AKA if the photographer is covered by the AKA insurance policy
or they have their own valid insurance coverage.
Proof
of this accreditation will be required to be shown at each meeting.
Accreditation
is only valid in the case of commercial entities for the period of their
own insurance cover.
Photographers
from local newspapers or television stations who are covering a special
event have insurance under state legislation and are therefore not required
to have AKA accreditation. An Official must be with them at all times.
All
photographers are to present immediately on arrival to the Race Secretary’s
Office to compete any necessary requirements to attend a CCSKC race meeting.
All
photographers are under the control of the Clerk of Course and Chief
Steward at all times.
It
is the responsibility of all photographers to ensure they introduce themselves
to both the Clerk of Course and Chief Steward prior to the commencement
of each race meeting to receive all relevant instructions.
All
photographers are to ensure they have their AKA accreditation card easily
viewable on each member of their staff. For example, attached to a neck
lanyard and available for inspection by any Official on demand.
All
photographers are required to wear a safety vest at all times during
the race meeting. Vests can be provided by CCSKC and must be returned
before leaving the circuit.
CCSKC
retains the right to ban any photographer who fails to follow the instructions
as given by either the Clerk of Course or Chief Steward. If a photographer
has been banned from attending CCSKC race meetings they are banned regardless
of whether they have accreditation or not. Any photographer who is banned
from attending CCSKC race meetings will be promptly reported to the AKA
who may in turn remove their accreditation.
All
accredited photographers have the right to access any external area of
the circuit; however CCSKC retains the right to restrict access to any
or all infield areas as directed by either the Clerk of Course or Chief
Steward.
If
required, photographers will be allocated a dedicated space to set up
any display equipment as needed. This is done at their own risk. Central
Coast Speedway Kart Club accept NO responsibility for the loss or damage
to any equipment at any time.
A
copy of these Guidelines is available from the
Race Secretary’s Office at all race meetings and also via this
website by following the link at the top of this page.
Central
Coast Speedway Kart Club reserves the right to amend the Photographer
Guidelines as deemed necessary from time to time without notice.
