"IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT CHG POLICY REGARDING
PHOTOGRAPHING OR FILMING CHG EVENTS:
PLEASE READ AND COMPLY!"

"Photography, videography and observation of CHG events, particularly non-public re-enactments, by members of the general public (i.e., other than CHG members or members of CHG-recognized re-enactment organizations in attendance at such events) or the media is only permitted with the prior approval of the CHG Board of Directors. The applicant must appear in person at a Board meeting (typically held the last Sunday of every other month) and explain his reasons for wanting to photograph, film or observe a CHG event or re-enactment, whether there will be any monetary gain associated with the photographs or filming of the event (in which event the Board may require the making of a donation of a portion of the profits or payment of an honorarium to CHG), whether the applicant will be in an appropriate period uniform or contemporary civilian attire and the applicant's willingness to sign a CHG waiver of liability and hold harmless agreement. Absent such prior approval and compliance with all of the other requirements to be followed, as listed above, anyone who appears at an event and attempts to photograph, film or observe such event will politely asked to leave and if the individual refuses to do so, the owner of the property or appropriate police authorities will be summoned and such individuals will be escorted from the premises. Your cooperation with this policy will be greatly appreciated and will avoid embarrassment to all concerned. Further information regarding this policy and the process for obtaining prior CHG board approval can be obtained by calling Stan Wolcott, CHG Chairman at:
(714) 641-3421 (day) or e-mail to "swolcott@rutan.com"."

As always, please check the CHG hotline for further updates on these and other upcoming CHG events.
