There's an article somewhere on DPS about writing up contracts- try to track it down. If you have it all written down, you can pin down exactly what/how you agree the photos should be used.
I recently did some "pro bono" work for a local community group covering a local event, and because they contacted me last-minute, I had no time to write up an agreement. Big mistake- in hindsight, I really wish I hadn't agreed to cover their event. It was one nightmare after another with them.
I doubt that's going to happen to you here, but I really learned my lesson when it comes to having everything on the table ahead of time. I think I would ask them what they plan to use the photos for, and then limit their rights to the photos for those specific uses- and definitely ask them to credit you.
