According to SCA Board policy, any person attending any SCA
event or participating in fighting activities at a fighter practice
(including Chirurgeons, Marshals, Heralds, and Water Bearers), must either
be a paid member of the SCA with proof of membership (a blue card), or
must sign a waiver to gain admittance to the event. The waiver text must
be that which appears on the current membership form and cannot be
altered.
SCA members who do not have their 'blue cards' with them, or who have a
non-blue membership card, indicating that there is no signed waiver on
file for them in the SCA Corporate Office, must sign a waiver to attend an
event or participate in fighting activities at a fighter practice.
Additional sign-in or attendance sheets are not required, however if your
group chooses to use them they become a part of the waiver package that
must be sent to the Kingdom
Waiver Deputy.
Any minor attending an SCA event must have a Minor Waiver completed and
signed by their parent or legal guardian. (Minors with blue cards
indicating a waiver in Milpitas that is signed by a parent are treated the
same as adult blue-card attendees with regard to waivers.) Roster waivers
are not acceptable for use with minors.
An event, for purposes of the waiver policy, is any SCA activity announced
in the branch, Kingdom, or Principality newsletter, or at which any type
of combat-related activities will occur. Business meetings, demos where
there are no combat-related activities, guild meetings, dance practices,
and the like are not included in the waiver policies.
Waivers will be collected and sent to the
Kingdom Waivers Deputy
Seneschal for storage in a timely fashion. The Waiver Deputy shall
ensure that waivers for each event can be located and provided to the
appropriate officials in the event a specific waiver is required. Adult
waivers shall be maintained for 7 years and the minor waivers for 20
years.See the Library for the
actual Waiver Forms. |
