Need just a little advice on running a group privately. As a keen recorder player for many years I know another retired gentleman in the village who is a recorder player as well, and a lovely chap. A church friend of his said her daughter (9) has a recorder as well so we got together at his house and played and had great fun with the varying sizes of recorders (3 generations working together is fun in itself). My daughter may come sometime but she is more a sports/brownies person.
Now the young girl thinks her friends may want to join as well and this is where the rub lies. It has been insinuated by at least one person that as soon as we start something like this we become responsible for health and safety, child protection, crbs, etc etc etc., even for an informal setup free of charge in a private home. I know dance/swim clubs are very careful with these things (and understandably so).
What a sad world we even have to think about these things.
