Know whether or not your club wants to enroll in SFMS liability insurance. Note: Liability insurance covers property owners where field trips are held and not field trip attendees. For personal liability, please use a waiver (click here for an example waiver). Also note that non-members cannot be allowed to attend field trips because they will not be covered by liability insurance and may jeopardize liability coverage.
First date of your club show (1) if your club wants to enroll in SFMS show/event insuranceĀ
First date of your club show (2) if your club wants to enroll in SFMS show/event insurance
Note: Shows from April 1st to December 31st are enrolled for 2025, but because the insurance fiscal year starts on April 1st, enrollment for a show between January 1st and March 31st is for 2026. Please keep this in mind when you enter show dates for SFMS show/event insurance. Also, if more than one club is sponsoring a show, each club must pay for event insurance.

Bryozoan Fossil Sand
The SFMS has liability insurance has available to member clubs. That makes field trips to quarries possible. This sand was collected on a field trip to a quarry in Tennessee. It is mostly tiny, silicified (replaced by silica) bryozoans. Bryozoans are marine invertebrates that live in colonies similar to coral.
