Yep John,

it is cheap, but gotta make sure we can always cover it from week to week without asking the members to dip into their pockets all the time.

We will either come up with a sloution or an alternative

One thing that I must mention is that putting a Club/Society/Association together is never an easy thing to do but one part was made extremely easy.

And that was the Members Liability Insurance, and thanks for that has to go to the hard work of Laurie (RAJAH235), Brett McMillan & Nick Lomb.

Laurie and the others spent ages investigating all avenues to make a national Astro Club Member Insurance possible and I thank them for making it possible for any member of any Astro Club to be covered at extremely low rates.

I contacted the Insurance company and was suprised at the simplicity and cheap rates.

It covers members at any Club observing event, public open nights, Camps etc. All Clubs should investigate this. All the hard work has already been done for us, all we have to do is use it.

Thanks Laurie for putting me onto them

Go here and ask for Tracey Pearce. She looks after the Astro Clubs: http://www.whhib.com.au/

Thanks very much Ken. All I really did was point them in the right direction, + a bit of ground work.
