Ian w Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 O/K so I know I am getting old and stupid but I am looking at getting third party insurance for when I am using my cars. I have been to BRCA website but can`t find anything about insurance. If I join BRCA does that mean that you get insurance. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It does indeed, there was a thread recently about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shudson Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 As I recall, that thread ended questioning my suggestion that BRCA cover was "anytime, anywhere" and not just at BRCA organised events. You are right about there being no obvious reference on their Website, but I have since received this years handbook and, on page 21, it says "Anywhere at any time in UK". In any event, at 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What kind of insurance - liability in case you injure someone ? or damage theft or ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shudson Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Public Liability, in case you injure someone or something (other than you or your property). The alternative doesn't bear thinking about; if you seriously injured (or killed) someone - could happen, e.g. an airborne model hitting someone on head - and chances are, without insurance, you're not going to see your house again!

Ian w Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks Guys I have had to apply for permission to use a parish council owned field near me and I think they will be more approachable if I have insurance.

Shudson Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Funny how there seems to have been a change in attitude; previously, when I have advocated joining BRCA for the insurance, I have been shot down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by myself Shuds, iirc I got it for the first BHBF I attended, never received confirmation or a membership card though, hence my surprise today when checking the site, lol.

Noj Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ha ha, not this time I queried it with them, no reply received, no card....so assumed it was all not happening, however, I have a membership number?!? Couldn't request a card when renewing and, tbh, don't want to shell out a fiver for replacing summat I never had. As long as membership exists on their records, how important is a card anyway?

You should get a new card this year anyway, as they are dated. Its just a peel-off thing on the bottom of a letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian w Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just received my mebership handbook etc. from BRCA. Gave them a call to make sure I am covered by there insurance, as an individial. The answer was yes BUT as long as you have permission from the land owner to use that land for RC. So anyone using public parks etc. would probably have a problem claiming. So the question arrises again "Is it worth it" I some how think that it is to restictive to make it worth it for a general basher. Of course if you attend meetings arranged by BRCA then yes it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
