Definitely, unless The Lemming had some agreement with the club beforehand (and if he didn't, I'm not sure that they should have been submitting his pics to the Westmorland Gazette without contacting The Lemming first, if that is indeed what has happened here).
Regardless of payment / lack thereof, The Lemming would have even more glory to bask in if he were actually credited for the shots he took in his own spare time using his own equipment.
It also might lead to readers inviting The Lemming to photograph their event - again regardless of payment / lack thereof, this creates opportunities for The Lemming to enjoy and learn from another shoot.
