[BD] Public Liability Insurance for Clubs

Thu Dec 14 14:28:35 GMT 2006

There's a couple of paragraphs in the UKUA membership letter that detail the insurance that UKUA members get as a part of their fees. I'm pretty sure that I have re-typed this info (the relevant paragraphs) into an email to [BD] in the past.

The Fluid Druids (who!?) got a Public Liability policy sometime in the 2000-2002ish period, from Perkins Slade, 'cos we needed one in order to hire training venue(s). I remember that they were very helpful when I called them. Unfortunately, I don't remember any more detail (like costs) than that...

> 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

> available to everyone else (if that’s ok with you).

> I hope this helps
