Now the new 2022 Rec. Center Club Contracts have turned into a long legal document stating "you CAN NOT sue the developer", no matter what.
It amounts to: If the club accidentally burns down the Rec. Center, the club pays for a new building.
If the Rec. Center has an electrical fire and a club member looses his/her life, well, too bad.
These are NEW terms this year, not like the old "days, times and dates contracts".

There are some clubs that have read the new contracts and the president won't sign the long legal document, so the club folded or moved to a different place.

The whole legal thing is getting out of hand. It's no longer "America's Friendliest Hometown".
