Personal Accident Insurance
Many clubs have signed up to this already and if your club hasn’t to date, but you are thinking about it. Read on.
Many clubs have already arranged Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) as a way to safely protect their members. The CPGA has partnered with PSP Insurance to offer PAI across our member clubs to secure competitive pricing.
Currently, a club’s direct PAI policy calculates as roughly £2 per enrolled member, but through this policy, it’s our aim to make this more affordable and reduce the premium to as little as £0.84 per adult member. The amount chargeable will be reduced with higher
enrolment numbers from the association membership.
If you wish to sign up to this at any time, or a few days in advance of when your old policy expires, please do sign up via the picture link.
