Renewal notices for clubs and associations participating in the National Stoolball Association (NSA)’s Civil Liability and Personal Accident schemes have now been dispatched to club contacts.
Invitations to renew cover for Civil Liability and Personal Accident insurance for a further year has been dispatched this weekend by email or post to clubs who previously participated in the two schemes run by the NSA.
These invitations should be dropping into inboxes or through letter boxes over the next couple of days, and clubs are urged to respond by return in order to maintain cover for their members.
NSA Executive Officer, Michael Ledwich, who now has responsibilty for the two schemes, said:
“In these increasingly litigatious times that we live in, it is more and more important that clubs and associations protect themselves from claims for damages as well as losses through accidents caused whilst playing or watching stoolball. I strongly urge all clubs to take out cover, whether through our schemes or through their parent sports clubs, so as to mitigate problems that could occur at any time, to anyone associated with the game.”
In relation to the NSA schemes he commented:
“I believe that these give good value for the level of cover provided and because they were specifically written for sportsmen and women there should be less likelihood of problems of interpretation occurring should a club or individual member need to make a claim”.
Any club which participated in 2007 and does not receive their renewal invitation, or any club that would like to consider participating for the first time, should contact Michael as soon as possible. Details of how to get in touch with him can be found on the About Us pages of this site.
