Question 2: I am just putting together a holiday for members of my social club. Am I caught?
Answer: The Regulations apply to selling and offering for sale. If the members of the social group have agreed to share the cost of a package they have decided to organise themselves, and they have merely appointed you to organise the details, then you are unlikely to be selling or offering for sale the package - even though a surplus may be retained by the organisation to be disposed of as the members may decide. (See definition of a "package" in regulation 2(1).)

Important:  This means any monies collected for a holiday organised by a club must be paid to the club account and not an individual. Otherwise the member could be potentially viewed as "selling" the holiday.

This reflects current AIVC custom and practice to only pay monies for holidays to a club. Otherwise members are advised to request that members attending a holiday should pay for their own travel and accommodation.
