Insurance for meeting place

[john lucas]

Our club is starting discussions with the local high school about meeting in their woodshop. We did this for a while before but had the woodshop instructor there at every meeting. The problem was that we couldn't meet when he wasn't there. I discussed that with him today and we are going to talk to the principal to see if we can be allowed to meet without school personnel being there. Before I talk to them I wanted to find out what our insurance policy covers as far as the facilities. We do have members of the club who are not AAW members and it may be difficult to get everyone to join. Is this a problem? We are in desperate need for a larger and more centrally located place to meet. I think our club will grow a great deal with a larger facility. Thanks for your help. John

Thanks Ed. I believe that and our copy of the insurance policy should answer any questions they have. Now If I can just get them to trust me with a key. I'm looking forward to meeting there because the instructor is interested in getting his kids into turning. I'm hoping for a good partnership.
