LIABILITY RELEASE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE

Spokane Mushroom Club

 

MAY 23-26, 2008

 

I understand that there is some risk in participating in a mushroom foray and conference:  all these risks one assumes by being away from home, risks associated with moving about in fields and woods, risks involved in eating wild mushrooms, risks of losing personal property by theft or misplacement, and all other expected and unexpected risks.

 

In registering for or attending this foray, I agree to assume total responsibility during this event for my own safety and well being, and that of any minor children under my care, and for the protection of my and their personal property.  I release the Spokane Mushroom Club, Inc. (SMC), its trustees, officers, employees, contractors, and all other persons assisting in the planning and presentation of this event from liability for any sickness, injury or loss I or any minor children under my care may suffer during this event or as a result of attending and participating.  I further promise not to file a lawsuit or make a claim against any of the persons listed above, even if they accidentally cause me or my minor children injury or loss.  Finally, I agree to hold SMC harmless from any liability it may incur as a result of any damages to or from Priest River Experimental Station’s property that I may cause.

 

This release and promise are part of the consideration I give in order to attend this event.  I understand that it affects my legal rights.  I intend it to apply not only to me but to anyone who may have the right to make a claim on my behalf.

Membership is required for Forays. Come prepared with a whistle, knife, and basket.  Small paper bags are ideal for separating individual varieties of mushrooms to prevent cross contamination and prolong freshness of mushrooms.   Carpooling and sharing of gas money is encouraged. 

We ask members to refrain from picking in foray sites up to 2 weeks prior to scheduled club forays.
