[TheForge] Re: Teaching blacksmithing and insurance

[Bob Ehrenberger]

To answer some of the questions that have come up.

We have contacted the co. that advertises in the Anvil's Ring. They weren't
very interested.

The reason given, by at least one of the co.s was that with the change in
location, they couldn't inspect the facility and certify that it was
acceptable.   With a school in a perminate location they could work through
safty issues and get comforitable with the risk involved.

I will pass on the suggestions on the wavers.  From what I've heard about
wavers,  they don't usually hold up in court, but most people when they sign
one are less likely to sue. They think that that option is gone, wheather it
is or not.
