    Provided that you have permission to have these displayed publicly, it could be a good idea to select photos that make your group look welcoming and friendly. Also, if you offer a mix of easy and harder walks, photos showing these different kinds of walks and landscapes.

    NB. Photographs should be in landscape (i.e. horizontal) format, with the subject (for example, members of your group) positioned in the centre of the image with some space around.
