This will be of interest to those of you who are planning to attend the 2004 SCWDP Round-Up......

As the organizer of the '04 event, I'm already quite busy getting things underway. Part of my planning gave me pause; I was thinking about the event getting larger with each year, and the possible personal liability of the organizer (me).

So, I contacted a lawyer friend of mine for some advice. I showed him the release we have used for the past events. He said it was a good thing, but that the event should (must) carry *insurance*.

Certainly, I'm not in a financial position to pay for this myself, and we are going to try to continue the Round-Up as, "No Fees, Just Fun".

To this end, I have started dialogue with the executive of my PCA Region (Canada-West). They have given me a favorable response to co-organize the Round-Up, and most importantly, supply the vital liability insurance. All this, at no cost to the participants.

I welcome your comments.....
