Your right Bob. No need to worry about things like this.

See Eric Rosenblum's post down the thread. The issue was what a reasonable person would believe, from a legal and liability standpoint.The first chips Allan posted gave the impression the the Club was sponsoring or conducting the show. Do you disagree with this? Any reasonable person could have that impression. That's why I asked the question to start with. I assume that's the reason the BOD asked him to change the wording. Which he did and the BOD approved it.

It doesn't matter who the private promoter is, where the show is or who puts out the chip. If the case can be made that the Club somehow is sponsoring, sanctioning or endorsing the show AND some accident occurs or other fiasco,some lawyer can make the case that the Club should be liable. Any hotel should require any promoter to have a general liability policy with the hotel named as the loss payee. That's only smart business. Where does the protection for the Club come from? I honestly don't think we want to drain the treasury to defend a lawsuit.

When you buy coffee, don't you expect it to be hot? Doesn't taste good cold. But McDonald's gets sued and pays because the coffee was too hot! And you asked about the legal system? There are thousands of examples where common sense was on the losing end of legal judgements. Just think about that for a moment. As a businessman I have to be concerned about potential liability everyday. I have to protect my company's assets against all kinds of potential disasters and con men. It is the only prudent thing to do.

Please think about it in these terms and understand where mine and other people's concerns are. It is for the Club. I have tired head now. I am going back to work.
