Group Leader insurance

Hi all

Has anyone heard of group leader insurance, Is it necessary?. I heard from someone that they takeout insurance incase someone in there party cancels their booking, leaving the group leader (person who books the holiday)liable for the costs. Surely if each person has their own holiday insurance this is enough?
I have searched the web and found nothing about this.

If they cancel on you, just put their windows through. It will make you feel better as well. )

Anyone planning to ski with Tony might be wise to check their Home Insurance, never mind Group Leader... :lol:

But to the OP...

Firstly, don't get yourself in a position where you're paying for other people on a promise - either they pay up front, on time, or they don't go - simple - so no need for insurance.

Also, be very wary of identifying yourself as a "Group Leader". However unlikely, a serious incident on the mountain (e.g. an off-piste accident) could see you being held responsible if you're identifiable as a leader.

You have been warned.

Ah Tony, your such a big softy, letting them of with broken windows.

Three summers ago, getting on a bus in Pisa, an American chap threw his child trolley on board, whacking my OH on the head, and producing a muckle bruise. Getting off the bus, I mildly suggested he was ignorant, and an Ar..h..e, to boot. He proceeded to whack me across the head.

Off the bus, I lowered my rucsac to the ground, and mild mannered man that I am, leaned back on to the bus, grabbed him by the Gho....s, twisted, and pulled, whereupon, he shot over my shoulder, complete with ripped jeans, at the appropriate area, and landed on his feet. Given that he was less than half my age, I did think there might be some ensuing action, but none there was.

Brought a whole new meaning to the word "Yank"

I organise group holidays with friends every year, pay on my visa, and don't seem to have any bother.

So that answers the question....
You could get insurance, or you could get "enforcement" from Tony and Dave :cry:. What next ? The guy wakes up to find his broken skis in the bed with him, cause he backed out of a ski holiday he couldn't refuse :lol:.
