inconvenience or annoyance to other Workshop or Excursion participants, drivers, Workshop
or Excursion guides or others deemed relevant, or by engaging in behaviors that are
incompatible with the safety or comfort of the other members of the Workshop or Excursion,
then Patricia Fields, PsyD or her duly appointed representative may disqualify and expel the
