I used to be active in a Revolutionary War re-enacting group. Being around guns and fire a lot made us very aware of liability. We got an insurance policy for our group and its members for several hundred a year, and it covers all of our marches and other events. Of course, lacemaking is a pretty dangerous sport (all those sharp implements, you know), perhaps that accounts for the high cost of a policy. Or, maybe it's a matter of shopping around enough? Sometimes you can get the best deal if you know an agent. Agencies who don't know the applicants might just stop at the first quote and leave it at that.
