To the seneschals of Atlantia:

I have been reminded that there are some misunderstandings regarding the
waiver requirements for minors, especially when they go to events
without their parents or guardians.  Please take a moment to read
through this exerpt from the Waiver FAQs at
http://seneschal.atlantia.sca.org/WaiversFAQ.htm and share this
information with your group.  Thanks!

Are there special waiver requirements for minors?<?xml:namespace prefix

Yes.The Minor's Consent To Participate And Hold Harmless Agreementmust
be signed by the parent or guardian of the minor in order for the minor
to be admitted to the event – no exceptions!If you are a minor traveling
to an event with someone other than your parents or guardians, get a
parent or guardian to sign the waiver in advance and send it with the
adult responsible for you at the event.You can obtain this waiver form
in advance of the event
from http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/forms-waiv.htm.

In order to participate in fighting activities in the SCA (fighter
practices, demos, events, etc.) as a minor, there are additional waiver
forms to complete and have notarized.Contact your local marshal or
minister-of-the-list for more information on how to fight as a minor in
the SCA.Copies of the forms and information on completing them are
available at http://mol.atlantia.sca.org/forms.html.I recommend
completing and notarizing three sets of minor paperwork for fighting
purposes: one set for the group marshal you practice with (these will be
submitted to me for safe-keeping), one set for the Minister-of-the-Lists
you authorize with (these will be submitted to the Kingdom
Minister-of-the-Lists for safe-keeping), and one set to keep so you can
show them at events, demos, and fighter practices once you are
authorized.

If you have any additional questions concerning waivers, please feel
free to consult the Waiver FAQ at
http://seneschal.atlantia.sca.org/WaiversFAQ.htm, or contact me directly
at 703-517-5428 or waivers at atlantia.sca.org.
