ACA only requires a waiver for ACA-sanctioned and -insured events, which
doesn't describe many weekly club-led trips. The Georgia Canoeing
Association, our local ACA-affiliate has its own waiver for club trips (w=

that we buy ACA insurance for.=0D
But a yearly waiver defeats the informed consent part of the waiver cover=

 which is, IMO, one of the most useful parts.=0D
