[UK-CONTEST] RSGB Insurance - check yours

[Callum M0MCX]

I was damned angry with RSGB, since although I had a schedule for this
insurance (after paying £109) I never received the policy. I now have a
small claim to make and have absolutely no idea what hoops I'm going to have
to pull this off - if at all.

I called RSGB a couple of times for comment but their hands were duly wiped
clean of the mess.

.. and to boot, the bl**dy advert used one of my photographs without my
permission!

(and I'm sure there's plenty of people out there uninsured like me)

Please forgive the cross posting, especially if you aren’t a G or an M.
I have just found out that the company that provided the RSGB Radio  
Insurance Plan
Catlin Insurance Company (UK) Ltd.
(as advertised in RadCom last year I believe) went out of business  
sometime ago - I don't know when.

I discovered this by chance and have seen no notification of this in  
RadCom - something I would have expected since it was RadCom that  
recommend it.

My policy is due soon and since I've increased my kit (added a K3 to  
start with :-), I'm going to go back to the previous provider -  
"Amateur Radio Insurance services" supplied by Stuart Alexander Ltd.  
(0207 3351647).
I have no association with them other than being a previously happy  
customer.

I only went to the RSGB plan because it was recommended by the RSGB  
and was slightly cheaper (very slightly), lesson learnt!

Again, apologies for the bandwidth.
