I had no problem taking photos last April either. They hesitated at first, but when I asked nicely they seemed fine with it... took about fifty or so images. Cramped conditions to shoot in, but they turned out ok. They were a really good crowd there, and quite rightly, very proud of their work.
Cheers,
Richard
