CL Owners being let down by the club?

The insurance issue has been raised before, Stuh, and there’s an explanation on here somewhere. As I remember it, the decision was not of the club's doing but was due to the underwriter withdrawing provision. That may not be exactly the story but if you contact the club, they'll explain all.

Or contact Ted at Cholsey Grange CL who I think raised the issue in the first instance. He, I'm sure, had a response/explanation from HO.

To be honest with you Stuh01 if some other organisation took over the CL network, like the NFU for example, I would seriously consider leaving the CAMC.

As an insurance broker, now retired, I arranged schemes for similar type of cover for disparate groups who had a common theme. It's not difficult to do and I really cannot believe the club couldn't have found an alternative supplier if they really tried. If there's a profit to be made then there will be an insurer willing to make it.

I totally agree, I work within the insurance industry and with 2,000+ sites they have the clout to get the policy underwritten at better terms than an individual broker on a site by site basis.

Same with the booking diaries - they are a tiny cost in comparison to membership revenue that the CL network brings in , it just seems like they don't value they CL network  despite the fact that it provides a large amount of the club membership.....

Don't think I will be renewing my membership

The CL network is my primary motivator and even then I'm thinking long and hard about renewal.

Errr, isn’t it a condition of being exempted under the CAMC banner that you remain a member? 🤔

Btw, as you work in the insurance industry, are you in a position to organise something to benefit yourself and your fellow CL owners?

There are other Clubs supporting 5 van sites. No idea of their conditions but maybe worth checking if nothing more than for comparison.

peedee

Yes, check out the list of organisations holding the right to issue exemption certificates. It’s quite considerable. 

Who says he works at the selling end or outwith of a company TW? Might be a claims handler or auditor or....whatever.

Somebody who has put quite a lot of work into organising CLs, such as the groups that have banded together for Facebook etc., would be in a better position to at least approach a trusted Insurance Broker. They would certainly need to access a vast majority of the CLs to see how many would come on board. As mentioned on the previous thread some of them would be, or are, able to integrate this into their existing arrangements, such as added on to their Farm or Fishery Insurance etc.

I don’t think all CL owners are Members to be honest. It’s a condition for those new providers, but we know of lots of long time CL owners who never paid membership. Not sure if that still applies, and not all CLs in handbook state “Member Owned”, so who knows🤷‍♀️

Stuh, your Club webpage price is still dated 2018. Has it altered, or is this still correct?
