Public Liability Insurance

The public liability insurance taken out by the Association provides cover for members who are demonstrating at shows/events and also for demonstrating to other members (ie local group meetings). The cover provides third party liability insurance of £5,000,000. It provides for supervised 'have-a-go' sessions but does not cover professional course tuition with multiple students.

Show organisers, even for small shows, increasingly demand that all demonstrators have insurance and this cover is intended to allow members who demonstrate their craft occasionally to be able to attend shows. Members who demonstrate very regularly at shows, earning their living, trade commercially and/or teach will find it necessary to arrange their own cover. For members who are considering taking out their own insurance there is a useful thread on the forum in which members with their own insurance discuss various providers.

If you need a response from me or a copy of the current insurance schedule please allow at least 2 weeks as I am often away at shows and events and have been known to take the odd holiday now and then. Good luck with the weather, enjoy the shows, don't break a leg and be careful out there!
