Legalities of organising a run in PistonHeads.

I've been 'guilty' of organising group runs in the past via the PistonHeads website and was wondering what the legal implications are?
I'll generally say on the thread that I'm organising a run, going from "A" to "B" and usually I provide a photocopied map on the day with a route marked on it.

Should I be getting a disclaimer signed before the off?

Exactly how much trouble can I get myself into?

What are the actual implication with 5, 10, 20+ cars taking part?
Police interest, (other than potential revenue from scamera vans? Law regarding a group drive, run, rally, hoon????

I only ever tend to say 'organised run'.

Hope someone in the know on here can help. But please only state what is legal fact. I don't want to rely on what ya mate said down the pub.

Unless they're a lawyer!!!

Thanks everyone, especially Flat In Fifth. Very helpful, I can only guess from your input you are in some way connected with the legal profession? So cheers for the info.
