[SEL] RE: Insurance and safety rules

[Patrick M Livingstone]

I think your rules are getting more draconian than anyone here could come up
with. I have never heard of the need for a code of conduct. Do you really
have that much trouble with unruly engine people? What a load of ....

Hi all,

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:
