The NCVO document referred to in the original post says GBP 1.00 for
the limit of liability and that matches my experience too.

The Professional Contractors Group, http://www.pcgroup.org.uk/, is a
company limited by guarantee with over 10,000 members.  They pay
GBP100.00 to join, GBP1.00 of that represents their liability, the
other GBP99.00 is their subs for the year giving them various
membership benefits.

1, 2, and free aren't separate legal entities resulting in unlimited
liability for some people though.

Cheers,


Ralph.
