[UK-CONTEST] Insurance update...

[stewart rolfe]

Below is a copy of the last email from Mark Allgar on the insurance situation. Seems like it should be ok..? Not sure though why it hasn't been circulated better....

Unlike ARIS you don't list individual items so as long as the total is sufficient it won't matter if you've changed radios in the meantime. Club insurance with it's 3rd party liability is not part of this deal.
