Title: All groups look in plz RE: PLI insurance
Post by: webmaster on February 25, 2009, 02:33:01 PM
I've been speaking to my contact at Sports Cover Direct for the EA’s regarding PLI for groups and preferential rates. They have said to me if we can get a few groups interested then something can be put into place. However he did say rates depend on various variables ie: the numbers in the group, what health and safety / risk management they have in place etc etc

As many of the groups on the forum are now at the stage where they are performing and hoping to get paid work, I think this could be useful for all clubs to consider.

Please can any clubs that are considering PLI let me know how many people are in their club and whether they would be interested in getting cover as a group.

CLUBS INTERESTED
EA Bockers
Welsh Bockers
Invicta Bockers
Yellow Belly bockers
Sky High
London Bound Bockers

Our renewal is in June and we currently have cover for 20 in the group.
I would be looking at increasing this to 25 or 30 people depending on the difference in price.

Mine expires quite soon... but it was paid for me by the event organiser last time.
And in fact, I'd never done any kind of show until that one where I was even asked
for insurance details. I was always covered under the event's policy. So I doubt I'll
renew it unless it's an incredible deal. It is sports cover direct that I'm with now.

I realise it's good to have your own. But I don't have money to burn at the moment.

Currently covered by Council Insurance policy when on site or working with them. There would still be issues with off site stuff such as carnivals etc so interested in the price. Not sure on numbers probabvly 15ish

Gone thru the riska assesment stuff so could help there.

Also suggest that people have a first aid qualified person on site as a min requirement

Might be worthwhile to ask the insurers what additional actions would impact on the cost and decide wether they are possible

Yeah, they have asked me to put together an email to them, with how many clubs are likely to take part, they basically said the more health & safety procedures that are in place will reduce the cost. But he was going to get back to me about what would need to be in place by the clubs after I emailed him which Im hoping to do tomorrow

If you can send me any procedure you follow via email it would be great Clive.

I'll update the first post with clubs interested.

well the springers probably jsut about have enough to make it worthwhile as a group, but at the moment there's no health/safety stuff, and there's only a couple fo us that are considering performances etc, so probably best if we jsut do it seperately for now (unless it's an amazing offer and i can get everyone to agree that is)

Quick up date on this, they said they would honour the 10% discount offered to personal customers, better than nothing hey?

oh and toddy darling, if you are could you also extend the IBZ insurance over to the springers/hanworth lot, if everyone wants to that is, would be a lot simpler than sorting out a seperate load...that and i'm busy/lazy/etc currently

I don't know how toddy would feel about that but it's actually quite a big ask of you. Remember the person who organizing it will have to collect money ect for them. I wouldn't put myself under that pressure. Secondly you would need to have pretty good communication, thirdly if any of the springers have to make a claim it will mess it up for the IBs when they renew.

I know toddy is a good guy and would probably help you out but I don't want him to feel pressured. It is a big ask.

i know, it was just a thought, could sort it all out myself if people want it done as a group, just can't until things have settled down again, so yeah, just a thought for a maybe
