I would like to get a head count so that we can figure out how many to expect. So I need a count of you, your co-pilot, children and any guests that members have invited. Please take some time and read the bylaws pretaining to NAXJA events.

Event Regulations

Each Event will have an assigned Trail Master. The Trail Master will lead the Event always with safety in mind. The Trail Master will have ultimate decision making authority for “go/no-go” Event decisions, unless a higher ranking Officer is present at the Event, in which case that Officer has unilateral decision making authority. All event Attendees will follow Trail Master/Officer instructions at all times;

Events only consist of the off-road trail rides or other specially designated activities. The Event begins at the time of the pre-run Driver’s Meeting or functional equivalent, and ends when the group returns to a designated point. For multi-day events, this means that the NAXJA will not organize or coordinate camping or other activities, except as a service to the Members. The Event itself is limited to the organized trail rides;

If the designated Director fails to show up for a scheduled Event, that event is automatically cancelled as a NAXJA Event. Any further activity by NAXJA Members or others will not be affiliated with NAXJA;

Each Attendee is ultimately responsible for his or her own safety. Safety concerns should be brought up to the Trail Master or an attending Officer immediately;

Members who choose to bring Guests on an Event are solely responsible for those Guests. Should the Trail Master or Officer determine that any Guest is posing a risk to safety, or simply to the enjoyment of the Event itself, that Guest may be asked to leave via host Member escort provided it is deemed safe to do so by the present ranking Director and/or Trail Master;

All participants must be defined as an Attendee, i.e., either Member or Guest. At no time will any other vehicle be allowed to join any Event. The Trail Master and/or Officer will enforce this policy;

Attendees will notify the Trail Master or an Officer prior to leaving the group for any reason. While NAXJA Directors cannot physically restrain any Attendee to prevent them from leaving, a safety assessment shall be made prior to approving any such action;

Attendees will adhere to Tread Lightly principles at all times. This includes the environment and also the Attendee’s vehicle. Attendees will not put their vehicles at undue risk of damage that would potentially delay the progress of an Event. The Trail Master and/or Officers will monitor Tread Lightly principles, and failure to comply may result in an Attendee being dismissed from an Event;

Alcoholic beverages and other controlled substances are prohibited while driving on or off-road. This includes consumption prior to an Event. Failure to comply will result in dismissal from the Event and probable termination of Membership;

Attendees shall dispose of all trash in designated containers or haul it back out in their vehicle;

No firearms shall be exposed or discharged at any time;

Attendees bringing pets must control them at all times;

Profane language should be used with discretion as NAXJA Events are family focused and there is a likelihood of small children being present.

Definitions

Attendee: A NAXJA Event participant, whether NAXJA Member or Guest

Event: A NAXJA sponsored activity as defined by the requirements of these bylaws

Guest: An Event Attendee formally invited by a NAXJA Member prior to the start of the Event

Officer: An elected NAXJA official in the rank of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Recorder.

Trail Master: The Director or Member leading a NAXJA Event. Usually this person will physically lead an Event, and has a high level of experience in order to provide guidance to the rest of the Attendees. Also known as Event Coordinator.

This is a reminder to all of those who are planning on attending Northwest Fest. As per the By-laws,
BY-LAWS said:
All participants shall be defined as an Attendee, either Member or Guest. At no time will any other vehicle be allowed to join any Event. The Trail Master and/or attending Director shall enforce this policy without exception.

Each Member may invite not more than one (1) guest vehicle to attend each Event.

Members who choose to bring Guests on an Event are solely responsible for the safety and the behavior of those Guests. Should the Trail Master or any attending Director determine that any Guest is posing a risk to safety, or simply to the enjoyment of the Event itself, that Guest may be asked to leave via host Member escort provided it is deemed safe to do so by the attending ranking Director and/or Trail Master.

Definitions:

Member: An individual paying dues to the Corporation to maintain active NAXJA status

Guest: An Event Attendee formally invited by a Member to participate in a sanctioned Event prior to the start of the Event.

Sorry, it isn't that we don't want non-members to come, we would LOVE the revenue. It is just that we don't want any unwanted troublemakers to ruin it for the group. So for all of the NON-MEMBERS you can either become MEMBERS OR be INVITED by a MEMBER.

So all MEMBERS that attend, you are responsible for all the occupants of your vehicle PLUS all the occupants of your GUEST VEHICLE.

We are planning on having a Event Pass/One Year Membership package for sale at the event. Saving a little money on your membership dues. Price yet to be determined.

Thank You

NWC President
