Post by: Luke on May 22, 2006, 07:17 PM: I think the BCF gold licence comes with personal accident insurance included, but I don't know how comprehensive it is. Out of interest Dev, how much are you paying annually for yours? Might have to look into it ....

BTW, if Dev is Dean Devereaux, thanks a lot for the wheel loan at the inter-regional and sorry I didn't get to see you at the end of the day.

Post by: dev on May 22, 2006, 07:20 PM: Yep thats me Luke. BCF doesnt cover of work costs, Sports gaurd pay weekly for 26 weeks, check out the site tim posted you can ajust it to your needs but as a start Gold cover annually is 125 pounds
