A DND member was recently injured while playing with our club. This resulted in a point being brought to my attention. From what I was told DND can hold the club and myself liable for the injury of the member in question. This dissension for DND to hold the club responsible is not up to the member, which is the biggest part of the problem. I spoke to the JAG and I was told the same thing. I'm looking for anyone with information or experience on this issue that will help me find a way resolve this. Right now I seem to have only two options, try and become a club under PSP, or ask all DND members to leave the club. If any one has information that can help please contact me, thank you.
