Bob; I'm only discussing these opinionated points with you as a layman ... and not as an attorney... which I am not.

I'm sure that you are absolutely correct that the club could be added on to an existing insurance policy as you have suggested.... but my question still remains ... Why?

I have absolutely NO legal background to draw any conclusions regarding this matter. I place my trust and confidence in what Eric Rosenblum, our club legal advisor, has offered in his publicly stated opinion ... and what other qualified attorneys on this bb have had to say ... such as Jim Reilly and Peter Sanders, and even a former attorney and former club officer Michael Knapp ... which is what I would be guided by if it were up to me.... which it is also NOT.

Having said that .... I think that the more the club's name gets unofficially associated with this privately operated, for-profit, commercial show, in the way of possibly now being named on an insurance rider... coupled with the club officers granting the use of the club logo for such a commercial event..., would only be exposing the club to further liability from some sharp non-member lawyer representing a plaintif who might want to build a case on all these circumstantial loose ends that should not have been placed there in the first place in my layman's view.

Defending potential lawsuits is not an inexpensive proposition ... even if one is found not guilty. These potential risks should be taken by the private show promoter, not the club.
