There is often photography or video taken at our events, which may be used to publicise further swing nights.
Please let Simon or Jess know if you don’t want your photo taken on the night. 
For those of you keen on photos - Jess can be found near the front of the stage.
Pictures for previous events can be found at Swingart by Stevo on Facebook. 
Attendance at the event isn’t a guarantee that you’ll have your photo taken.
