I AM GOING TO PRESENT TO MY TOWN OFFICIALS THE CRITERIA FOR PUTTING A POKER RUN - HARE SCRAMBLER ON TO RAISE MONEY DURING OUR TOWNS SPRING FESTIVAL WHICH WILL BE IN APRIL. IF ALL DOESN'T GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN IT MAY BE THIS FALL BEFORE WE HAVE THIS EVENT .
MY QUESTION IS WHAT DOES ONE DO IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PRIVATE LAND OWNER AS WELL AS THE TOWN OR OTHER ORGINAZATIONS FROM LITIGATION IN THE EVENT ONE DOES GET INJURED?
ONE LOCAL SCHOOL USED TO HAVE A EVENT 2 TIMES A YEAR TO RAISE MONEY, THEY HAD A DRAW OF 600 - 900 PARTICIPANTS AT EACH EVENT. BUT,IT TOOK ONLY 1 PERSON GETTING INJURED TO PUT A STOP TO THE WHOLE THING. IN FACT THERE USED TO BE 6 OR 8 ORGINIZATIONS THAT HELD A EVENT 2 TIMES A YEAR. THESE EVENTS ARE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN . THEY GAVE PEOPLE A PLACE TO RIDE , AND BY LUCK OF THE DRAW MAYBE A TROPHY TO BOOT.
DURING THESE EVENTS PEOPLE REGEISTER ,SIGN A WAIVER , GET A NUMBER AND GO HAVE GOOD DIRTY-MUDDY FUN. BUT, SOME WOULD RIDE AND NOT REGIESTER THERE AS NO WAIVER SIGNED.
ANY KIND OF HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPERICATED,
AND MAYBE WE'LL GET THIS BALL ROLLING INTO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
THANKS,
VIC
