Public Liability Insurance for Member Societies
Public liability insurance covers legal claims made against a society by members of the public, (or of the society), for injury or loss while attending a meeting or observing session organised by the society. Injury claims may run into thousands of pounds, so insurance is essential. A single premium may cost up to 200 pounds per year, but the FAS has organised a block insurance that costs a lot less. Further details of the scheme are available on request from the Membership Secretary or FAS Secretary
Convention and AGM
The FAS organises a Convention and AGM, every year. This takes place during the Autumn.
