Are You Covered

[mick.p]

Just a thought while reading through the casting threads, as i have not seen anyone mention it.
I wonder how many people have got the appropriate insurance cover to cover against third party injury when casting or fishing.

ARE YOU COVERED???

Or maybe you have got such a large bank account, you don't think you need it and can offset the compensation claim for hundreds of ££££'s IF you injure someone.

you can get public and personal liability insurance off of these guys and cover your gear. i had a great deal

But the NFSA supports our cause and sport, costs onl;y £16.00 per annum and insures you for nothing

Does it?? I would check your membership, i would hate to see someone thinking they were covered, when in-fact there not.

Last time i looked into it, membership was £16.00 for individual membership.
This did not include insurance, Insurance was extra.
Not sure how much it was for insurance as an individual, but for clubs etc see below.

Individual membership of the NFSA does give you worldwide cover, clubs have to pay extra if they are orgainsing opens etc, at £16 I reckon it is excellent value for money.
