Ages ago i e-mailed my local amateur rugby club to ask if i could come along & take some shots of the match.
Never even had the decency to reply,a yes or no would have been great,would liked to have tried my hand at it,but there you go.:shrug:
 
Just go anyway, if they don't like it, they don't like it. I had been going a while until they realised i had been taking snaps.
 
The reason i wanted their permission was so that i could walk the sidelines instead of sitting in their stand.:)

I think i would stand out using my canon 300MM F4L IS lens.
 
I think its full title is lasswade rugby club.:)
 
Tried phoning? It show's:

1. You're not just doing it "for the hell" you're prepared to pester etc. I follow up all speculative enquiries with a phone-call

2. You're a real person! You'd be surprised what a voice on a phone can do for people.

It's not difficult...the worst that will happen is they'll say no. Be honest and polite...if they ask why you want to come along and shoot, tell them the truth.

Magic.
 
Yep maybe will give that a try,at the end of the day photography is just my hobby.:):thumbs:
 
Just go up and do it. That's how I started. If they tell you to stop, then stop, but most Clubs appreciate it.

Keep out the way and stay off the pitch then you should be OK. I shot a match the other week, there were 4 togs there including me and I was the only not on the pitch whilst the game was in play. It's just a big no-no in my book.

If you really want permission before you go, call the press/media/something else guy to say you are coming.

Good luck and have fun.

James beat me too it ... :-)
 
Cheers for that Helen.:):thumbs:
