Not unnecessary at all. A simple waiver of liability should suffice and
would protect your group (and any individuals) for responsibility for
someone's injuries. As soon as you incorporate, you should get some group
insurance too.  Another thought- if someone would be offended if you asked
them to sign a waiver, then how are they going to feel when you ask them to
sign a mortgage?
