[BD] Public Liability Insurance for Clubs

[Admin]

Quick answer to this - I'll put a more complete answer together on the
insurance that the UKUA has and make it available on the website.

1. UKUA members have liability insurance like you describe when playing at
specific UKUA tournaments (the Tour, Nationals, etc).  This is one reason
why its important that everyone competing in these tournaments is a UKUA
member.

2. This can *potentially* be extended to other tournaments if the TD wants,
provided they follow certain practices.  My intention is to make this
available for the outdoor season 2007.  If you are a TD interested in this
please contact me to let me know.

3. UKUA Membership does *not* provide players with cover at other
tournaments or practices.

4. I believe a couple of people have looked into the question of insurance
at practices - not sure they actually bought any insurance.  The company
that we get our insurance from (Perkins Slade) are able to do this for a
club - but you probably have to meet certain criteria and follow some safety
rules.  I would like to find a way to extend the current arrangements the
UKUA has with Perkins Slade to be able to offer clubs an easy way of doing
this - but currently this isn't near the top of the priority list and will
be a few months away I guess.

So - in the meantime - if you want to be covered at practices you need to
arrange something directly for your club.

5. There is an exception to this situation: UKUA Level 1 coaches *do* have
3rd party liability cover when coaching at practices.

6. As I said - I've been writing a simple document that explains the UKUA
insurance so that it is a bit clearer what/who is covered, and when, etc.
Given your question I'll aim to speed up completing that doc.

I'd be really interested to hear from people who have looked into this sort
of question with their club, as it would be great to make what you learnt
available to everyone else (if that’s ok with you).

I hope this helps

Si
