As one of several contributors to a simul game, when my position is loosing. Is it fair play to resign or to continue?

Resign! So you don't lose time uselessly and don't do lose time to your opponent.

If you want to keep playing just play, if you are in a simul you will face a much stronger opponent, a strong player can finish a game quickly anyways.

Against beginners the host will finish more than half of it's games in <30 moves so don't worry about it and just have fun.

If anything, it's the host's duty to play accurately in every board to finish the games quickly and to save time for the harder opponents (2000+ elo players).
