I recently tried a speculative approach to a local campsite behind a pub near me to see if they might be interested in someone (me!) running the odd traditional living skills session for their guests.
I specifically mentioned fire lighting and very basic spoon carving.
Well, they are very interested as this fits perfectly with their life ethic and the way they run their campsite, so now I have to consider how to deliver it, but more importantly, what administrative hoops I need to jump through to cover myself. Basically, I have two options:
1. To do it for the love of working with people, and maybe the odd beer.
2. To do it on a more formal basis and to make a charge to cover my costs (things like buying some crook knives and bags of hay).
Which ever choice I go for, I am assuming that I would need some kind of liability insurance?
Just for clarity, this would be me visting their site, not anybody travelling to come to me.
I already have an enhanced CRB check and basic first aid certificate. Are CRB checks now "portable" or would I need to have another one for this specific site?
All and any advice gratefully received,
Thanks.
