Hi Kathy, NEC is no longer holding a policy to cover all the local clubs. I don't know the details of why that happened, but my guess is that the umbrella policy cost more than the local clubs were willing to chip in. I agree that we should ask David to look into it. And like you, depending on the cost, I'd also probably be willing to chip in personally.
