Well after my eviction from the WACA ground on the first day of the season, I decided to take the matter up with the WACA membership secretary. I wrote in and asked for an explanation of their policy and the reasons for banning cameras. I also pointed out that the pics I wanted to take were for my amusement and benefit rather than commercial gain.

A few hours after my email, I got a phone call saying that as long as I was not going to benefit financually it was okay to take a few shots. I asked if I could have that in writing but was told it was not necessary.

So on Sunday I turned up with all my kit, the guy at the gate checked for hidden booza and commented how it was good that we could now take cameras and there was no problem.

I took over 150 images. All crap, I was wondering if they should have left the ban in place, then I had no excuse for feeling this bad

At least you stood up for your beliefs and won the day for the rest of the non-pro photographers out there.
Better luck next time with shots.

Congrats on going back to them and getting in... maybe the decision might be know as the 'Bullcreekbob Decision'... The day cameras went into the waca! it could become an old folk story in many years to come...........

or maybe not. Pitty about the photos, but at least you know you can go back and try again!
