There's a mail online and Sun article post Swingfields. The Sun one isn't great. To my mind there will be reporters on here with fake profiles, so if you don't want everyone to know your business be careful with face pics.

Not that I can go anyway - but some of those pics are very clear in the Sun and that's why I'd personally be very wary about attending. At least the Mail pixelated faces.

As an aside - I was surprised how 'small' it all seemed, I inew it was never going to be like Glastonbury (obviously) but it did all seem very compact. But I guess being more intimate means it can be more friendly and fun!

I hope everyone had a grand time and nobody is negatively impacted by the press intrusion

We won't be attending the event again

Way too much publicity & themsun showing face pictures is just awful

One of our friends is on centre page of the sun, I feel like crying for her it's just too awful

We have a right to privacy & it's totally been invaded

The individual or individuals who have assisted or done this are selfish & crass & I hope the money they got for it brings nothing but misery

I think that's true at any time. Sometimes I feel people ask too many questions, want too much information are just too inquisitive that's partly why we only keep faces in private and never give personal details in the forum.

I'm surprised the organisers don't make everyone sign a disclosure document that strictly forbids the publication of any photos and details of the event.

The Data Protection Act covers things like this. Anyone easily identified should make a formal complaint to the PCC and IPSO

Ive never been to swingfields but just had a quick read of the sun article. You don't need to read far to see that most of it is made up! The fact she says that they were one of the few wearing clothes, yet pretty much every picture has fully clothes people in it says it all really!

I don't know the rules but what are the legalities of taking pictures in a public place? Can someone at the anti-Brexit demonstrations at the weekend demand privacy if their pic appears in the press?

What if you're walking around the local agricultural show or in the crowd at a local sporting event?

I guess the latter is different as by attending you might be giving consent to be pictured as part of the ground regulations?

Some of the Mail pics appear to have been taken from outside the perimeter so I don't know what the rules are there?

I guess quite simply if you're going to take your clothes off in public then you do so at risk of being exposed?

I'm sorry but all parties who worked/organised the event have to take responsibility - for one - the security gaurd watching the jelly wrestling has failed in his duty

We reported several people for having phones but what good it made

The security team were happily zooming around on their toy bikes, chatting & watching events to even notice half the breaches going on

The organisers failed to protect our privacy by not carrying out full checks & adhering to the no phone policy in the arena

It wouldn't surprise me if the organisers allowed journalist in as the daily mails versions was more like an advertising campaign rather than a report - there's a massive difference between the mails & the Suns report

Well whom ever has sold out I hope you are happy as I have one hysterical friend who's life will be effected by this & not in a good way

It wasn't in public. It was a 'secure' private event.

The event organisers are conspicuous in their absence on most of the threads.

Have to agree, this sort of publicity would definately put me off attending now.

Thing is, now it's made it to the papers there will be a market for any future pics/stories relating to the event.

We weren't at the event, and to be honest, we wouldn't attend the event as we have to much to lose.

However, as someone who is very used to working in secure environments and being accountable for the security, searching cars, caravans and such like where people are bringing BBQs and whatever would be impossible without huge security infrastructure.

The security you mention, seems to be a few big lads who don't have a clue. It's common, but there is more to security than being big and threatening.

Lastly, journalists are professionals at getting to a target. A couple of goons sloping round really aren't going to deter them.

i feel sorry for those who will be adversely affected, but all of us who use clubs and such like should be aware of the risks.

If the event is private and the event rules forbid the taking of photos then you may have a case. This was also a private event on private property so hardly a case of taking clothes off in public A basic disclosure form is a legal document and the press would have to argue that identifying people is in the public interest.

The demo's you mention were all held in public areas and would be deemed to be in the publics interest. so not covered.

I feel so sorry for anyone who can be easily identified in this article; I think I may know one of them and hope she is ok, as I do anyone else whose photo was taken

It's not a question of being ashamed. It's the fact that the story is vile and basically making swingers sound sordid and deviant like. Just basically throwing negativity on swinging, and accompanying the story with pics of people who have had no say in whether their pic is used, and a lot are in the throes of sex acts.

It's not a flattering article at all.

Did the organisers require ID from people on admission though? Were attendees verified as being on swinging sites and verified by meets?

The article suggests not but that may not be true. I'd be interested to know.

People who went have said they reported others for having 'phones and breaking other rules but nothing was done.

I'd be interested to hear the organisers' side of things.

If you read the daily mail online or on the app you can read the readers comments. A lot of them are favorable but most are just sadly misinformed, they obviously think it's a mass free for all orgy in a farmers field. Maybe the organisers should publish their own story with inter_iews with willing swingers to give a true insight about the lifestyle rather than crappy journo's just making it up because they havnt got a clue.

To the vast majority of society swinging is seedy, weird, creepy, perverted. It's certainly not _iewed as normal behaviour so of course the 2 papers that love scandal and to judge will report this on such a negative way.

I'm not sure why it surprises anyone particularly as this isn't the first time journalit's have been there.

The morals of the Sun is despicable.

However, if they're working within the law, they are entitled to do whatever they please, to sell the papers.

The Sun is a commerical organisation whose primary aim is continued profitability.

Sadly, some organisations will exploit any opportunity to make money, that's the world we live in.

The Sun would argue they are supplying a demand.

Unfortunately, this will continue for as long as people but the paper (which I don't by the way)

Just read both articles... I'm glad that the DM one is a little more fair and there's a mix of favourable, indifferent and "ugh disgusting!" comments... like the forums on any given day

The Sun, however... grim, disrespectful and the whole tone of it is like reading an article a 13 year boy's written, only a 13 year old boy would have more talent.

"I'm surprised the organisers don't make everyone sign a disclosure document that strictly forbids the publication of any photos and details of the event.

The Data Protection Act covers things like this. Anyone easily identified should make a formal complaint to the PCC and IPSO

They did!!"

Then they need to start proceeding against The Sun and if inclined the organisers

It makes a change for Mail Online to be using consenting adults (without permission) to stir outrage/tittilation in its readers - must have been a slow weekend for underage daughters of celebrities to creep over.

Rags.

"It's not a question of being ashamed. It's the fact that the story is vile and basically making swingers sound sordid and deviant like. Just basically throwing negativity on swinging, and accompanying the story with pics of people who have had no say in whether their pic is used, and a lot are in the throes of sex acts.

It's not a flattering article at all.

No, it's not. I also think some of it was made up purely for effect.

Journalists embellishing a story ?

Whatever next ?! "

Indeed. So people with any sense know to take it with a heap of salt.

Then again, they wouldn't buy the Fail or the Scum anyway.

And of course, the ignorant, knuckle-dragging comments on that 'newspaper's' website are as predictable as ever...

"Just as I expected total ugly washed up divorcees , with no life or self respect left! Mingers not swingers."

Sincere apologies, dear Sun reader, that the people attending Swingfields were ordinary folk like you and me, rather than the wall-to-wall clones of Adonis and Aphrodite that you see in your porno magazines...

Sorry to shatter your illusion that only conventionally 'beautiful,' fresh-faced under-30s are allowed to explore their sexuality with consenting adults of a similar persuasion.

I suppose the readers of 'The Sun' and 'The Daily Mail' didn't get the opportunity to vent all of their faux-moral-outrage when those worthless rags reporded on Swingfields last year?

Already have...With some having screen prints sent to them this am by friends and even family. Fallout with kids seeing parents in compromising photos/activities will cause alot of unexpected heartache. I feel for the kids too when their friends show them. Going to have impact on fab too with people being even more cautious with meets.

The Mail doesn't exactly have a stellar record in its treatment of swingers' activities...

Reporting on the Effernata Lifestyle Festival which took place in September 2015, the DM quoted a local Councillor as having branded the event as ‘disgusting’, and expressing his opposition as follows:

'There are people who come for a quiet life and they do not expect to have this sort of thing. It is taking over the village without our permission or consent. The church is used for Christian weddings. The whole ethos of this festival is undermining the Christian commitments people make there.’

Rather reminds me of that episode of 'Father Ted' - "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING" - or Helen Lovejoy in 'The Simpsons' shrieking "PLEASE WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?"

There's a simple lesson here, if you on here in secret or are cheating behind a partners back and don't want to be outed then don't go to a well publicised swinging festival. In this digital age nobody should have an expectation of privacy. I'm not saying it's right but that's just how it is. A lot of swingers are open about it as they are consenting adults and a part of a consenting couple and are proud to promote the lifestyle. Yes we do have a right to a private life but if that's what you want then don't attend such events where previous years have proved end up in the press.

I fully agree but do empathise without who have been directly or indirectly effected...especially with younger kids. Maybe it will make more naive ones aware of the pitfalls of the digital age and take more measures to protect themselves. This will inevitably have a knock on effect to fab though and make people even more cautious too....at least till it all blows over.

Actually, I think you'll find that newspapers are legally obliged to obtain consent from all persons pictured in a photograph BEFORE they publish it.

Hence why so many celebrities snapped by the paparazzi have succeeded in bringing private prosecutions against the newspapers that have published the pictures thus obtained.

Any person who can be identified from the photographs in The Sun or The Daily Mail, and who did not give their explicit consent to be photographed, has the right to sue the newspapers concerned for breach of privacy.

Exactly, the papers don't care and if it sells stories, they just pay any compensation a court may award, but you have to take them to

Court first and you need lots of money to do that, they know that of course!

Not quite true.

It doesn't apply to Swingfields but the media can film or take photos in a public place and publish them without needing any sort of consent.

No. According to British Law:

If you take photographs on private land without the knowledge or permission of the landowner you could be charged with trespass.

You are not permitted to take photographs on private land where the landowner has expressly prohibited photography.

It is likewise unacceptable to capture an image for the purpose of defaming your subject(s) or to specifically capture an image of individuals engaged in a private act.

As I understand it, Swingfields was a PRIVATE event, held on PRIVATE land.

It was not held in a public place, and as such, all participants may be said to have had a REASONABLE EXPECTATION of privacy.

I did say if you are on here in secret OR cheating, I didn't suggest it was just cheaters.

And I agree with above about getting consent to take photos etc but in reality what is the average swinger going to do about it, are they going to take on a huge newspaper chain, I doubt it so all I was saying is that if you don't want the risk of being in the press then it's best not to go in the first place.

However, there's history of it legal or not. I'm quite sure it was equally as illegal last year yet the pictures still surfaced. So it's not surprising (to me) this happened again legal or not.

It doesn't make it right, of course, and whilst I'm no legal expert if they have broken the law then I guess the recourse is to take the paper to court. And in doing so being more publicity to something they may wish to keep private .. It's a lose / lose situation sadly

I don't debate that, however, you said the media must get consent before publishing photos of anyone and that isn't true.

You didn't mention private places or an expectation of privacy in that post, which is the one to which I was replying.

I said not quite true not totally untrue and I said it doesn't applybto Swingfields because that's not a public place.

I think everyone should have a right to expect privacy, it has nothing to do with cheaters. I was going to go there this year but bloody glad I didn't now. My regulatory body could easily see something made public like this as bringing my profession into disrepute and cost me my career. I'm proud to be a swinger and feel no sense of shame about it, but the rest of society has yet to catch up.

Massive sympathy for everyone affected.

Unfortunately the law interprets it different to that...

"What’s a public place has typically nothing to do with ownership. It’s a place that the public has free access to, even if it isn’t owned by a public institution. Events and transportation that the public can buy tickets to freely do typically also qualify as public places."

Also it does say if a phot depicts a person in a defamatory way.... I 'MAY' be banned.

Any one can take anyone's photo if they are in.public. That's the law as it stands....including children.

People didn't have to be members of Fab to go, there were a couple of swingers sites which people can be on, and people should have profiles or any one of them. Don't forget this was not a fab event, one of the checking criteria was evidence of a verified profile on a swinging site however. Unfortunately no id checks were done in entry to the event however.

You had to be a verified member of Fab OR another swinging site to buy tickets. The organisers then messaged us & sent a friend request. Single men had to apply in advance before actually purchasing their ticket I believe. We were all emailed a registration form which we had to complete & return stating

I/we confirm we are not members of the press/media and that we will not provide inter_iews, photographs or other media information of any kind without the written permission of Swingfields management team. We further confirm we have read and accept the booking conditions at the time of booking and accept these conditions fully. Furthermore we confirm we understand Lifestyle etiquette (guides available) and will treat the Festival, staff and other guests with the same respect we wish to receive.

Signed and accepted ;-

Actually, no.

Swingfields was held on PRIVATE LAND, and WAS NOT 'freely accessible' to members of the public.

The attendees at Swingfields were not 'in public;' they were at a private function on private land.

Furthermore, they did not have a 'reasonable expectation' that photographs of their activities would be utilised by the national press.

I didn't mean it was just a 'fab' members event....i think this reinforces the problem. It shows that they obviously are members and have profiles which raises lots of other valid concerns. It also shows much of what we sign doesn't hold much value too and people know that.

Will be interested to see how long it takes before photos are removed or faces pixelated.....or maybe not.

Who here, who reads these papers, will now stop?

By visiting their sites we're also increasing the 'popularity' of the articles.

Tiny pinhole cameras are easily hidden within clothing - such as from video cameras that TV shows use.

These corporations are happy to divide and conquer people - Murdoch was determined to get us out of Europe and helped to influence it. I would not put money into that empire, buying rags, sky etc.

"Who here, who reads these papers, will now stop?

By visiting their sites we're also increasing the 'popularity' of the articles.

Tiny pinhole cameras are easily hidden within clothing - such as from video cameras that TV shows use.

These corporations are happy to divide and conquer people - Murdoch was determined to get us out of Europe and helped to influence it. I would not put money into that empire, buying rags, sky etc."

This is more to the point. People moan about the activities of the press etc, (not just swingers but others) but very rarely stop buying the papers or cancel their sky subscription or whatever.

Unless you have very deep pockets, the chance of success in courts is very low, no matter what the barrack room lawyers say above.

Come guys. This happened at a swing festival last year. The press were camped outside and the event organiser even invited them in. If was bound to happen again. It is to be expected I'm afraid. If you don't want to be seen then don't go. And if you feel like taking on the power of the press in the courts then I hope youve got a very big bank balance.

I was stood close by when several of the photos were taken. There was no sign of anyone taking photographs, so they were hidden gadgets.

I believe the sun journalists did have a recently started couples profile and got verified at a club. It's on one of the other threads.

Shocking how low some people stoop. Why is consenting adults having fun, anyone else's business? It was all in private. Talking about drug taking and people performing in public is just lies. So sorry for people in the photos

Not read the whole thread but the article is a load of tripe.

However, as it's the second time the papers have reported on swingfields I no longer wish to attend. I had hoped to at some point but if privacy is compromised then it's not for me.

Just read The Sun article and it's dreadful - saying about drugs, that condoms were not often used. It's not objective, very anti swinging.

The photos are very clear and that must be a nightmare for those in them. Are there other festivals ? I'm wondering how they stop it happening ?

"Hey don't blame the event or the organisers or even security please!! Its very sad that those nasty scum got in and I've been told that I've actually got a mention by name for running the Drawing sessions ....... Oh well a risk I and all of us take with life in general....

I'm sorry but all parties who worked/organised the event have to take responsibility - for one - the security gaurd watching the jelly wrestling has failed in his duty

We reported several people for having phones but what good it made

The security team were happily zooming around on their toy bikes, chatting & watching events to even notice half the breaches going on

The organisers failed to protect our privacy by not carrying out full checks & adhering to the no phone policy in the arena

It wouldn't surprise me if the organisers allowed journalist in as the daily mails versions was more like an advertising campaign rather than a report - there's a massive difference between the mails & the Suns report

Well whom ever has sold out I hope you are happy as I have one hysterical friend who's life will be effected by this & not in a good way "

Did you? I'm definitely with you on the whole "zooming about on quad bikes" thing. I was stood just outside the life drawing tent having a beer, but I guess that's not an interesting picture for the paper "blokes stand round having a pint"...

If the person who you are talking about who is upset is the same person that I think it is, then she's a mutual friend, who I don't get to see much and I'm gutted for her!

Also, I take exception to any "mingers" comments. I like to think that I'm very pretty...

It's really offensively written isn't it.

Why go to something like that purely to write a loa of negative shit. It's pretty obvious what's gonna happen at the event, I'd say it was even more private than any other event. I've been to global gathering a few times in my lifetime and I've fucked there outside my tent in _iew of people probably and there would be a million times more drugs flying round somewhere like that then bloody swingfields.

...And here I thought they had better measures in deterring this kind off thing happening especially inside the venue where the event was taking place.

As others have previously said in this thread that there was some hidden camera by the journalists who sneaked in..

This is real bad, as Nice as I'll admit some off the photos were to look at I'll admit especially the foam and wrestling pictures were rather appealing to see I can't help but feel bad for the people who's privacy has been invaded..

The scum newspaper strikes again..If some one did that to me I would break their camera and probably their jaw too.

sex sells.....

I am not surprised that people are surprised they would be there. There were last year and got a reaction.

Swinging has become less discreet/discrete ( can never remember which ) and people declare their intent to go to events/clubs and this plays into the tabloid agenda.

If you do things like swinging or other adult sex activities you put yourself up for shooting, the newspaper's destroyed mine & Kims former life but then also rebuilt it as after we used them as a cheap way of getting to the masses saving years of advertising.

Data protection laws don't protect you from the newspaper's so always be careful...

Also it does say if a phot depicts a person in a defamatory way.... I 'MAY' be banned.

Any one can take anyone's photo if they are in.public. That's the law as it stands....including children.

Maybe someone with a bit more legal nounce than I have can look at the revenge porn laws

The sun clearly published online something that was a private photo at a private event regardless of it being in public

WHAT IS REVENGE PORN?

Revenge Porn is the sharing of private, sexual materials, either photos or videos, of another person without their consent and with the purpose of causing embarrassment or distress. The images are sometimes accompanied by personal information about the subject, including their full name, address and links to their social media pro les.

The o ence applies both online and o ine and to images which are shared electronically or in a more traditional way so includes the uploading of images on the internet, sharing by text and e-mail, or showing someone a physical or electronic image.

WHAT WILL THE OFFENCE COVER?

The new o ence will criminalise the sharing of private, sexual photographs or lms, where what is shown would not usually be seen in public. Sexual material not only covers images that show the genitals but also anything that a reasonable person would consider to be sexual, so this could be a picture of someone who is engaged in sexual behaviour or posing in a sexually provocative way.

WHAT IS CHANGING?

The big change is that there will now be a speci c o ence for this practice and those found guilty of the crime could face a sentence of up to two years in prison. The new o ence is due to come into force in the spring.

Revenge Porn is not new and currently, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutes cases around Revenge Porn using a range of existing laws.

Sending explicit or nude images of this kind may, depending on the circumstances, be an o ence under the Communications Act 2003 or the Malicious Communications Act 1988. Behaviour of this kind, if repeated, may also amount to an o ence of harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

The CPS recently updated its legal guidance in order to clearly set out how such cases should be brought to court under the new legislation.

It was a private event. Tickets had to be purchased in advance and were not available to the public on the gate.

And yes, I am the public but I am also a long-standing, verified member of a swinging site.

Just any member of the public is not supposed to be able to buy tickets to Swingfields.

Is this distinction between a public place and a private event really so difficult to grasp?
