er - when you searched the forums for an answer... Did you not try clicking on any of the results?
Only you're right - it's been asked, and answered, many, many times before.

once again

Country Mutual - 01952 641321

But for groups of more than 6, I believe Equity work out cheaper.

we've just got insurence from park insurence which seems to be the cheeps for groups (£105 each) but if your not doing paid performances the union insurence that it takes out on everyone should cover you (whetheir they know it or not) just make sure it connected with a socitey.

p.s. this is ownly PL insurence we're taking about?

Maybe I should change this too something abit nicer, humm no I still think your all Ct

I ran a couple of societies at university and sat on the union council for 2 years. There is absolutely no way in hell that a society doing fire performing would have ever have been ratified (the health and safety bureucracy of putting up a banner in a public place are pain enough), the juggling soc got ratified on the basis that they weren't. I highly doubt that the insurer would pay out in the event of a claim and you really must check it out with your union before you perform on the basis it will.

I'm with Country Mutual, but only cuz they're based about 5 minutes from my house. They were prompt and coutious when arranging the policy but I've never needed to claim so don't know whow good they are at that.

Let's relight this forum

thanks for the info guys, just spoken to country mutual.

i have already spoken with our student union president and as the society is actually the street and circus soc, it will go through. He has also asked us to perform fire for student union functions... so i think he will support us

the issue with the insurance is that we wont be able to know who will be there from one week to the next, and no way could we afford to insure them all, so we need to find a policy that will cover some of us, and any others that may also be there (the chances of this are remote i know!)

well, good luck with it

They may insure you for one off events, but teaching dangerous things as a society to students may be another matter.

*bump*

because equity now do individual pli for fire performers for just £26.25 on top of the normal subscription (which is about £80)

that works out to full pli for fire performers for around £110

see this article for good information on circus performers' insurance in general and the latest comment (from mr p'chi), tells of the new deal from equity.
