Good question re insurance. Unfortunately even though we all have comprehensive insurance there is also a potential public risk liability for any organiser of any event. That even includes organising a marbles tournament for the local school kids.
Ridiculous as it may seem, a passerby may trip over one of us poor sods who is checking out an after market brake system on one of our attendees
MCS /
MC 's and sue us for obstructing their right of way. Who pays for the legals defending such a case? I know it is bloody stupid to think this may happen however that is the way of things in the new litigious Australia.
Did you know that Aus is now the most litigant country in the western world even surpassing our US cousins for ******** claims? Did you also know that less than 2% of total revenue collected by insurance companies is actually paid out in settlements? Who is bull******** who here?
Unfortunately we, the majority of law abiding citizens are asked to pay for that minority of ********s who want to push the envelope making frivolous claims.
As for the day paks and pics etc. A map will cost us about $8 and the pics/prints will cost us about $4-$6 per pak.
Dependant on the numbers we should round off to around $18-$20 for the paks including insur.
