If used in the Berks League, equipment is supplied by the home club.
There's no rule one way or the other about transmitting the game live. When you enter a tournament like the British, I suppose you give implicit consent to have the game broadcast if on a "qualifying" board. Use of duplicate scoresheets is a consent to have your games published.
Were a league rule to be invented, I would be in favour of the opponent being able to say "no" particularly if a webcam was involved. Leagues are not usually events with duplicate scoresheets, so there's a presumption that any dazzling novelties will only be witnessed by the participants in the match and local spectators.
