A Good Way To Increase CL Numbers?

This is indeed unfortunate news. 

Public Liability Insurance (PLI) is one of the annual costs that all CLs need to bear no matter what.  Failure to provide a certificate to the Club will mean the revocation of the certificate.

I have heard of at least one CL that feel this may be the straw that breaks the camels back, and are now considering whether to close their CLs.

Many CL owners (like myself) have insurance with other providers and PLI is just one aspect, so we are not affected, but by my estimates around 50% of CLs were insured via the club.

The CL Owners Group is actively looking for an alternative provider of insurance.  Whilst PLI is important, as Maddie alludes, insuring against other risks may also be of interest to CL owners.  Not least the issue of dealing with unwanted visitors (sometimes paid-up club members) who seek to set up camp and are likely to cause trouble. Getting rid of such people can be extremely costly and some insurance to cover this risk would offer peace-of-mind to vulnerable CL sites that may not have the luxury of electric gates etc.

Lets hope an insurer comes forward offering a cost-effective and 'fit-for-purpose' package.
