Ice...

It is a no-win situation....

If you cancel the derby because of weather people bitch and complain relentlessly. They want their money back from both the Derby organizers and the hotels/motels etc. they want the $$$ prizes awarded anyway, etc etc...

If you don't cancel and someone gets hurt, the derby gets a black eye.

There will be no liability incurred by the Rotary club or the derby as going out on ANY ice regardless of thickness is considered an "at your own risk" activity legally.

Personally I think the odds of someone going thru the ice are the same, derby or no derby.
