Greetings: Ok, what IS this insurance ? How many versions are there of this insurance ? Does MWCI have a version ? Does the other regional outfits have their version ? Does it work in the 50 States and other nations ? Given the small number of battlers, I compliment the foresight to think of insurance. This hobby strikes me as one needing a Lloyds of London policy (the type that insured May West from, um-um, "body damage". Manuel Mejia, Jr.
MWC has it's own insurance policy. A lot like NAMBA, before the change. The dues from the 80-90 people in the club pay for the insurance. IRC & others had a small club fee and then you paid for NAMBA. About the same total cost.
Yes... and it looks like IRC should look into following MWC in getting their own policy, since NAMBA's new, more stringent requirement is.... suboptimal for the way our hobby works. I could see a tightly knit group that uses the same 1-2 sites all the time to be able to this, especially if the ponds were on private property. But this absolutely kills the ability to go (for example) to a business that has a suitable pond and asking them for its use. A key selling point was that we were covered (by Namba) & any accident on that business' site would not go onto THEIR insurance. (Note, copying this reply to the other Namba thread)
