Has anyone started a riding club?

Am looking to start one as have had lots of interest from people on my forum...have dug about and know the ins and outs of becoming affiliated to the BRC, but the club has to have run 2 events before they will accept it....so am wondering how insurance works for these events?

Also, any other info greatly received please!
 
you would prob need to set up your own liability insurance for those events... A friend started a riding club which has grown really rapidly. The first year they werent affiliated to BRC and sorted their own insurance..... they affiliated the second year.... We are prob about 5 yrs ish down the line now and they have just deaffiliated again as the membership had gotten past the 100 mark which whacks up the fees you have to pay BRC and as not many were doing the BRC comps they figured they could do it cheaper on their own.
 
No, I have just been checking to see if it was mentioned in a newsletter...... I have a feeling its a horsey one SEIB or similar so perhaps worth giving a few a ring.
