Hi

Anyone on here in Essex and an active member of one of these organisations? I'm interested in volunteering and want to know more. Have contacted the local coordinator, waiting to hear back.


Thanks

I looked at offering my services to my local one - I was all ready to sign up until they asked for payment.

Ahem, Payment? 

That seems to be a common theme...  Graham

Payment? Surely that's not right? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Well, it depends on what it get you I guess. If there's training, equipment, additional insurance... maybe reasonable. Dunno.

Hence my q... Graham

If there's any payment, surely that takes away the voluntary element? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Payment is for 3rd party insurance when responding, and to help the local groups to continue.
Not all local groups have charity status and I do not know of any group that has enough funds to pay responder's 3rd party insurance.

Dan did you ask where the subs go to?

Thanks for your input.

I've also posted this query on the Disco3 forum, seems folks on there have had similar experiences, also problems with money paid and nothing forthcoming...

I'll let you know how the Essex group respond to my query; as a result of these comments I'm better informed about what to watch out for ...!


thanks  Graham

So this begs the question - if you're involved in an accident during a "response", you claim against the cover the response organisation ask people to pay for? I wonder what happens when it comes to your annual renewal and the "have you had any claims?" question.

I would assume that since these responses are done during potentialy very adverse and difficult driving conditions, a claim is much more likely........... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

My guess is that it's not your car insurance, its for public liability. Graham

Its is public liability

So if you have a claim, it's all down to your own insurance then?

That's kinds knocks that idea on the head then!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Right, I've now had a very helpful response from the organiser, I'm meeting them next week to find out more. The Essex "branch" is part of the Essex LR club, don't really want that but it's all or nothing, so I'll see. There's a membership fee (£25) for which I'll need to see what I get in return. Graham
