[SEL] Insurance and safety rules

Hi all,

Just got these from my club, and had to post them. Since I have to test 
drive the links, I figured I would share. They are scans and a little 
large if you care to look at them.

The safety rules are for the most part common sense. I think the alcohol 
thing is a regional, or perhaps country thing. Seems the UK shows have 
beer tents, but not sure if that's for spectators only during the show. 
Beer and bullets are a bad mix, and probably the same goes for running 
engines. Once the day is done would be another story.

I don't like the display area rules at all. Feel closer to OZ all the 
time. Probably the same insurance bullshit we have discussed before. 
Seems I can't bring the short one behind the rope/fence any longer. I'll 
try to get a better idea of that rule, and if he can be a member at his 
age. I just think it's wrong that a member can't bring family behind the 
rope. I don't think the board is the problem here. I think the insurance 
company put the pressure on.

The code of conduct is also pretty much common sense, with the exception 
of "heavily soiled pants and shirts". That can happen if you have to 
tinker on the show grounds. Don't think it will ever be a big issue. I 
do hope the personal feeling thing doesn't cause me a problem. Right now 
I'm just trying to get input from others and how it is done in other 
places, and with other clubs.

As always, comments are welcome. Links are here:
