Traditional Car Clubs vs Facebook Group Car Clubs

[GTBob]

Hi All,
I am a member of three traditional car clubs and have been on the committee for one of them. I am also a member of a couple of Facebook Groups with names like MyTown Car Club. I know that traditional car clubs have paid up members and have to keep proper accounts and they take out insurance on their events. Facebook Group Clubs don’t do this. Are there any dangers associated with getting involved in the running of events (e.g. classic car runs) with Facebook Clubs? Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Traditional car clubs that organise events will usually have some form of basic liability insurance, to cover the club should anyone suffer an injury at an event.

I'd imagine a lot of the newer Facebook 'groups' don't have this, some will of course, but many won't.
