[CUCBC Captains] Pre-term Insurance check/Safety information

[Mark Jacobs]

Dear Captains,

My inner pessimist is winning - the vast majority of you currently have 
no valid insurance details recorded on the CUCBC website. The deadline 
for submission of this information is 4th October - please ensure that 
the information is present.

If you are new to your role, your predecessor should be able to help you 
track down this information. If you are insured but do not know how to 
upload information to the website, please let me know. You will 
certainly need access to your club's CUCBC account - again, talk to your 
predecessors first.

Regards,

Mark Jacobs
CUCBC Safety Advisor
