Post by: keejaay on December 29, 2013, 17:16:22
Hi everyone

Hope you have had a good christmas and i wish you all a happy new year .

Now for the important question ---- Allotment Insurance , what kind should i be looking for ?

We are a new committee and have been left with a pile of documents relating to our site of 15 members one of which is an over due insurance policy which i discovered is a commercial  type with a firm called Bluefin .  I know i will get some good advice from you nice people .

Make sure that the insurance covers everything you need,i.e public liability,trophies community shed if you have one,i would contact Bluefin,Theallotmentsandgardenscounciluk have a very good insurance scheme (with Russell Scanlon Insurers) for plotholders,if you require any details about them send me a message on here.

We use the RHS for our Association- this also allows a group of allotment holders free entry to one of their gardens so we arrange a coach trip every couple of years to RHS Wisley-I believe there has to be a certain number of people.

We also use RHS for our insurance, the money we save pays for our membership  :happy7:
