max abell 196 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 We have been insured with the national gamekeepers organisaton (NGO) since it was formed i personaly wouldn't go shooting without insurance all it takes is a richochet and anything can happen also a lot of my permissions where we ferret and shoot rightly insist on insurance Just got the NGO renewal through £35 not the end of the world i know but i thought i would shop around and found the COUNTRY COVER CLUB it covers us for exactly the same as what the NGO does and thats £24.95p each you don't get the gimicks like the glossy mag every 3 months or the big tent at the game fairs but who cares all we want is good insurance cover How much do other members pay for insurance ?

Tug 168 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm with BASC because it's not just about insurance for me. Their firearms department helped me with a variation that I wouldn't have to without them, plus their legal advice & cover is second to none. Their cover is also on of "first resort" which means they pay out direct. Many ofthe cheaper ones will try and claim against other policy you have (house insurance etc). Because of the political campaigning and lobbying to protect the future of Fieldsports, I would only ever go with BASC, CA or NGO (for a brief while I was a supporter of all three, but it costs too much in the current climate) Quote Link to post

Jiminy 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hmm never thought about insurance for ferreting (new to it). Would you suggest getting some? Quote Link to post

jcm 2,327 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 How to go about getting insurance Quote Link to post
T42 44 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 So who's better NGO or BASC?? I'm going to be joining one of them at Weston Park and as good as their respective sales pitches are I'd rather hear it from a person who has had dealings with them... I'm not too fussed on saving 4 quid a year or whatever I'm just looking for the best possible cover for circa £30 per anum. Obviosuly looking for Personnel cover / property damage which will cover Shotgun, Rifle and feldsports such as ferreting and using lurchers. What would you guys recommend... Quote Link to post

You should look at SACS mate especially at that sort of price,cos BASC is £70+ although I am not sure about NGO....SACS is a very good organisation and also includes 'Legal Cover' have a real good read before making your mind up.

Tug 168 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I meant legal advice, and they will meet legal costs in the event of a challenge or case in court that will set a precedent. Quote Link to post
events co-ordinator 353 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Dream on! also if you want cover for your guns get it through your house insurance SACS are the only organization that give legal fees insurance to all members we will be at Lowther this weekend drop in if you go .
