Public liability costs

squonk

Hi, I'm trying to set up an astronomy group at the moment and I was in contact with Fingal CoCo about using Ardgillan (a nice big public park in North County Dublin) as a venue for getting togethr with our telescopes to view the starts. The council are receptive but say we'd need public liability insurance to a value of 6.5 million to cover us. This sounds made (and an awfully large sum as well) and I was wondering if any of you guys would have an idea of what the ballpark cost would be to us for insurance like this? We're not running this group for profit and it's other main purpose is to allow newcomers to come along and get a chance to use our equipment and see if astronomy is for them. If I had to charge them a lot for this, it'd defeat the purpose! Thanks!

Allianz do a sports & social insurance policy that should come in around €250, depending on the numbers in your club. Most brokers will know about this but you could contact them direct
