[sac-board] Converting SAC Disclaimer into a Release

Anyone want the challenge of writing a release?

Below is SAC's disclaimer.  It can be used as a starting point or you can
start fresh.

                      Star Party Disclaimer

As a matter of information for our members and other interested
observers, we must advise you that the Saguaro Astronomy Club is not
responsible for the property or liability of any individual member or any
other participant at our star parties, nor will the club held liable for
their actions or possessions.  It is important that you have your own
insurance coverage in force to protect you in the unlikely event that a
loss may occur.

This includes such items as your possessions.  Any telescopes with
accessories, including cables, etc., are the sole responsibility of you,
the owner.  The Saguaro Astronomy Club is not responsible for any damage,
loss or theft of these items.

The Saguaro Astronomy Club is not responsible for any injuries that may
occur at our star parties.  Due to the lack of light, it is vital that
everyone pay attention to their own safety as well as the safety of
others as they are setting up and moving about the site, to avoid any
potential trips and falls over rocks, plants, equipment or other items
set about.  It's a good idea to aways carry a red-lensed flashlight at
all times.

The Saguaro Astronomy Club is not responsible for any damage, theft, or
mechanical difficulties that may result in the transit of individually
owned vehicles as they travel to and from the place of our gathering,
including any possible off road traversing.  If you haven't been to the
site before please verify the directions.

Should property damage or bodily injury result from the actions of any
member of the club or our other welcome participants, the liability and
responsibility for these damages/injuries is the sole liability of the
party responsible and will need to be addressed by their own insurance.
This could include such an occurrence as fire damage, for instance, to
the land that we traverse or place our site upon, whether it be public
land or private land - fire damage potentially caused by careless parking
of vehicles (very hot catalytic converters), extinguishing of cigarettes
or other burning materials.

It is our hope that all will enjoy and benefit from our star parties, and
no incident will occur, but it is imperative that all concerned be aware
of and understand fully that the Saguaro Astronomy Club is not liable for
the actions or property of those participating.  Most cases of these type
of losses may be covered by individual homeowners or automobile insurance
policies.  If you have any questions about your being covered
individually for this, we recommend that you contact your insurance agent
to discuss the details.

Thank you for understanding.  Please let us know if you should have any
questions.
