I thought I'd start a separate thread rather than piggyback on the 'No refunds' thread although was referencing my question.
I pay my fees to the AGB as well as the club fees, area fees etc.
We are a tiny independent club who used to insure the club ourselves. However it was becoming more difficult in succeeding years to keep up with all the necessary paperwork to satisfy the insurance company. Bearing in mind it was run by an elderly couple who weren't up to coping with this.
A few years ago we decided the easiest way would be to join AGB which would put us under their umbrella for insurance purposes.
This of course meant fees had to go up substantially to cover this and I feel this is putting off new membership. Bearing in mind we use the local primary hall/field once a week and really have no contact at all with AGB.
I know I could insure myself at a much cheaper rate as no doubt could all our members but...does the 'club' itself have to have a separate insurance policy in force? Especially as we hiring the hall and outdoor space?
There is no fear of having an uninsured person shoot as we are very careful in no club fees paid...no shoot.
Is there any advantage in having club insurance through AGB?
