- each child in your care, and
- your and your child’s heirs, executors and administrators
may have in contract and civil wrongs law, arising from any personal injury, damage or loss arising out of the event.
This release from liability operates in contract law, and all officers, members, volunteers and employees of TVTAP and all sponsors of the event or event and operates whether the damage is due to any act or neglect of any of them.

Notes
The event waiver and signup is an essential risk mitigation tool for the event leader, other eventrs in the group and TVTAP. The event leader may ask a person who does not sign the sheet to not event with the group. Please do not argue with the event leader—they are a volunteer giving up their time for the benefit of the group.
You should have your own personal liability insurance and accident cover.
If you do not have a helmet, or a current medical exemption for one, you will not be allowed to event with the group.
