Yes, we received an email from the Insurer (WHH) informing us that our Astro Association Premiums will be rising and we have to answer a new set of questions to determine by how much.
They also say in the email that the Club responsible for the accident have remedied the situation by installing a Hand Rail and marking every step with a white painted Strip.
Fortunately for our SVAA (and any other club who's policy expires between now and the insurers final decision on Premiums increase) will be 100% covered by the insurer free of charge until the end of May, when they will be releasing the new Premiums.
It's not good that someone has been injured, but I suppose when you consider the thousands of people who attend public Astro events in the dark around Australia each year, only one accident is fairly remarkable.
