Insurance limitations

BrianH:
I remember reading on this forum that the AWGB policy covers demonstrations by members so long as they aren't receiving payment. That throws up the question 'Membership of what?'. The AWGB in general or the specific club in question. Can anyone throw any light please?

Paul Hannaby:
Each club (those who choose to take up the cover) has its own policy which covers club members at club events so the membership in question is membership of the club.

BrianH:
thank you Paul

Paul, please could you post your view on a situation that arose a few years ago, at one of the clubs of which I was a member.
Our events secretary booked an external demonstrator who did not have his own insurance. He said the club could make him a member for the night (cost £5) and that would provide his insurance. He was paid both a fee (£175) and his travelling expenses (£42) so many of us queried why he did not have his own insurance. He freely admitted he was demonstrating to clubs all over the country and using this to avoid having to pay his own insurance premium. That seemed unfair to those demonstrators who DID have their own insurance. What do you think?

bodrighywood:
Sorry but whoever that demonstrator was was puling a flanker in my opinion. Anyone who teaches or demnostrates should have insurance. It is not as if it costs a fortune.

Pete
