English Petanque Association Insurance

Originating blog: Cranleigh Petanque Club

The EPA Management Committee has arranged a new insurance package for 2012: The maximum cover is now £5m (note that paragraph 5.3 of the Southern Counties Pétanque Association  Constitution and Rules sates that "Registered Clubs shall be such Pétanque Clubs as are admitted to the SCPA having a Constitution and Rules that do not conflict with the SCPA's. The Officers of such Clubs shall be and remain members of the SCPA. Registered Clubs may admit members who are not members of the SCPA/EPA but such members shall not be entitled to any of the rights and privileges of membership of the SCPA/EPA and shall hold third party liability insurance equivalent to that afforded to members of the SCPA/EPA in respect of any activities related to pétanque"). Advertised "Come and Try" events are covered as they are looking to engage with the public and encourage them to participate and join the EPA.  People will be insured as long as they take part in no more than three "Come and Try" events.  That could be one held by the region and one more from each of two different clubs then that would be considered the person's "full quota" and they would only be insured once they have joined the EPA. Exhibitions and shows are more likely to be organised through the EPA MC and as such are covered.  Local events, such as the Horsham French Weekend, are covered are covered as the SCPA is demonstrating the the sport and encouraging new players and members and the time demonstrating the techniques and rudimentary play is quite short, say 20-30 minutes. The EPA insurance only covers members playing in the United Kingdom and not anywhere else.  The exceptions to this is that the EPA Insurance will cover players participating in representative events, such as the World or European Championships, or Invitational events where England, through the EPA, has been invited to send a team.  All other events where playing is the focus, such as twinning or similar will not be covered under the EPA policy and players are strongly recommended to check that their own travel insurance policy covers playing. As ever, members must be aware that any claim is subject to scrutiny by the Insurers and no there is no guarantee that a claim will be successful.  However, completing Risk Assessments prior to any event may well increase the possibility of a successful outcome.
