My experience has been that the venue has provided the insurance, or
we've just met informally in a public place so as a pub and so
insurance wasn't needed. I guess if you were meeting in somewhere like
a scout hut/church hall things might be different.

I don't actually know what the law is in regards to this though.
Anyone know when PLI is actually needed?
