There has been a great deal of comment and concern around the issue of downloading over the past few weeks. Members have been requesting guidance on the matter and in particular with reference to the NSRA’s Insurance cover. I would like to acknowledge that there are significant anomalies in the insurance paperwork in relation to the exclusion of downloading but the inclusion of hand loading. I regret the inconvenience and angst that this has caused and would like to apologise for this. We are working on this as a matter of urgency. From my perspective these activities need clear definition and the situation is part of a wide ranging issue.
We have discussed the issue with our brokers and we are jointly looking at the paperwork with Hiscox our insurers. Once a conclusion has been reached I will make this known to all of our members and clubs and where necessary appropriate changes will be made to our paperwork which will be reissued if it needs to be.
