( Print Your Name )
Trenton Ski Club (the 'Club'), have had explained to me and do understand the following facts concerning the Club:
1 ) The Club is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization.
2) The Club conducts various activities throughout the entire year including, but not limited to, ski trips, biking, canoeing, rafting, racing, volleyball, other sporting events, social gatherings, meetings, etc.
3) Many of the events that the Club conducts involve sporting and athletic activities in which there is a great likelihood that injury may ensue, property may be damaged, and other undesirable outcomes may occur for which an injured or damaged individual might ordinarily seek remuneration, relief, or damages in court.
4) The members of the Club who plan and carry out the various activities of the Club all serve without pay or compensation, or, at the very most, for nominal remuneration far below what their time, effort, and inconvenience would ordinarily justify.
5) The financial realities of organizing and running the Club together with its sports, social, and other activities are such that it cannot exist unless it has members willing to serve and take the responsibility, difficulty, and imposition of planning, directing, and running the various activities of the Club. Without such participation by the membership, the dues structure of the Club and the costs of the activities that it runs will substantially increase, to a point where few could afford to partake of activities in which the Club engages (and thus will ultimately result in the dissolution of the Club.)
6) The officers, directors, and members of the Club have no insurance from the Club for liability that they may incur by reason of Club activities, since such insurance is expensive and would increase the dues and costs of activities.
7) It is up to the participant or member to secure adequate insurance for each Club event if he or she desires to do so. Trip insurance is advisable but is solely the responsibility of the participant or member to obtain and is not routinely included in the general cost of Club events.
) The Club reserves the right to cancel or postpone any activity, event, or trip if balances of payment are not received by the indicated due dates. This could apply to the entire activity, event, or trip, or just to an individual's participation in it. All quoted prices and rates are subject to change should conditions necessitate, as are any and all arrangements set forth as part of any Club activity, event, or trip.
