Our Society (Broadwey and Upwey Horticultural Society) (Weymouth,
Dorset)reviewed our insurance problems a couple of years ago and so the
details are now getting rather hazy but if you don't get a good reply to
this posting let me know and I will ask our Secretary for the full details.

As far as the Hall is concerened, where you hold your shows, check that this
is fully covered for the normal insurance problems that any hall needs to be
covered for. You shouldn't have to worry about this.

In our particular case, affiliation to the Dorset Federation of
Horticultural Societies covers public liabilty claims at our shows. (I
appreciate that you may not have that kind of facility.)

I believe I am correct in saying - but this needs checking - that our
affiliation to the RHS also gives us public liability cover at our shows.

Certainly it is very important to have full public liability insurance, of
course, particularly in the present culture of people claiming for the most
obscure things but, unfortunately, public liability insurance has gone up
tremendously since September 11.

Do let me know if I can help any further when I will have a little more time
to get the true facts.

A few questions for any URGlers involved with local Horticultural
Societies & Allotments Associations. Do you get insurance for your
shows?

If so how much and where? What type?

Do you insure on a rented property eg church hall?

Any other info on insurance and shows appreciated.

Cheers
