Change to Sign in Procedure                                      20 November 2008

Board of Directors Meeting, 19 July 2008, London, ON.

Regarding the question of proper sign in procedure, requirement for CSRDS members to sign in at functions held by the membership of CSRDS.  (Federations, Associations, Clubs and National Conventions.)

We were advised that all members must sign in individually

Check marks and one partner signing for the other. Etc was not valid.

The change in procedure was not greeted with much enthusiasm throughout Canada and further information was requested from the insurer.  

The following is what I have received. In addition, will be added to the Certificate of Membership. The web site should have this information in bold face on the home page until I have updated the membership Insurance portions of the web site.

Some Certificates of Membership (2009) have already been issued, it will be necessary for each of us to advise all members in our province,

*************************************************************

The insurance company does not require any record of attendance at functions, but it is in the clubs best interest to keep a record in the event of an accident. It is the recommendation of the CSRDS Board of Directors that all Clubs, Associations, Federations and National Conventions use whatever method they wish to record attendance, but some record be kept.
