Duty of Care NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS & VISITORS All members and visitors alike, including passengers, are reminded that their attendance or participation in any Moreton Districts Off Road Club Inc. (hereafter referred to as the ‘Club’) event is of their own choosing and they accept full responsibility for their own actions and consequences. All persons, drivers, visitors and passengers alike are reminded that they have a ‘Duty of Care’ to themselves as well as others and take all necessary reasonable steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of all others at all times. All members and visitors alike, including passengers, are reminded that although the Club attempts to conduct trips and events in the safest possible manner, there are many changing factors and unforeseen circumstances that the Club and its members have no control over. Each member, visitor and passenger are the only persons that know their own capabilities and therefore are the only persons who know if they are capable of participating or continuing to participate in a Club event / trip. If these persons feel that their vehicle or themselves are incapable of participating or continuing to participate in a Club event / trip in a safe manner, then they need to withdraw at that time from the Club event / trip. If this happens, the person(s) must notify the trip leader or official by radio or other means of communication, of their intention to withdraw. Convoy rules and procedures, and night run rules, are provided by the Club for the safety and enjoyment of everyone on a Club trip / event. Your participation of any Club event / trip is conditional upon you and your passengers/visitors/guest or others, accepting the Club rules, Convoy Rules or Night Run Rules, and therefore accepting your own liability of your own action at all times. Please remember that any event or trip is much more enjoyable when each of us takes care, not only of ourselves, but also the safety of others.
