No cover is provided for damage to personal and/or club property. Each individual club and club member is responsible for insuring their own property and will need to arrange cover, if required, under an appropriate insurance policy, independent of the public liability insurance provided by CaSE Insurance to RSGB member groups. RSGB makes no recommendation but pib Insurance can provide such cover and can be contacted on 01904 784 141 or York.Charityfloor@pib-insurance.com.
We recommend a risk assessment is carried out to identify and mitigate any area(s) of risk and hazards at the venue. Evidence of a risk assessment may assist in the processing of any claim. Guidance on carrying out risk assessments is available for RSGB Members and affiliated clubs.
