Brass Band Insurance
 

Brass Band Insurance Services will be on hand at the Butlins Mineworkers Championships in Skegness on the weekend to ensure every band and player can check that their insurance cover is both adequate and right for them.

Cover

BBIS Manager Karen Davis and colleague Lisa Hollier will be based in the main traders area and will be keen to speak to as many of the bands and players about their insurance cover needs and requirements as possible.

"Making sure a band or a player has the right policy for them is essential.

Bands need to make sure they review their policies regularly and that they are getting the best possible deal.

The same goes for players too — even if it is just to find out if their instruments are covered when they go away on holiday or what happens if they leave it in the car overnight."

Advice and help

Karen added: "It’s too late to find out that you haven’t taken the time to update your policies after something goes wrong, so please come along and say hello and to tell us a bit more.

We will be delighted to offer our advice and help."
