Hoping for some assistance with my possessive conundrum.
If you were going on a trip for leaders (not run by leaders/organised by leaders), would it be: a Leaders Trip or Leaders' Trip?
Thank you!

Does this answer your question? What is the correct possessive for nouns ending in "‑s"? – livresque Jun 16 '23 at 00:42

Thank you, but I don't think it quite does. I'm wondering whether this needs an apostrophe at all since the trip doesn't belong to the leaders as such. – Jun 16 '23 at 00:47

This is a question about whether to treat "Leaders" as a noun adjunct. – alphabet Jun 16 '23 at 03:26

Do St Matthews vs St Matthew, referring to a church? or traveller's cheques; customer's requirements: use of the singular Saxon genitive (and the plural attributive) for association provide a satisfactory answer? Essentially, many would drop the apostrophe (but not the "s"), and quite a few would get offended at this. – Edwin Ashworth Jun 16 '23 at 14:44
