that's very similar to what ours says. we leave out the provision about
following the trip coordinator [note, this is coordinator, as opposed to
_leader_, we changed the designation this year, as _leader_ is legally
differenent than coordinator, as far as responsibility goes]. everyone has
to sign this type waiver to join the club, and then sign another one,
prior to embarking on a trip. we actually use a slightly different form,
which has everyone sign one page, saying they have been provided with a
copy of the waiver, and have read and understood all parts. this way the
trip coordinator only has to keep up with one signed paper, instead of
many....

Good Idea mark,I will check into the Leader and Cordinator issue, and  now
that I have a new printer and can print both sides of a piece of paper I
will add this to keep down the paper work.
