Liability Insurance For Beagle Clubs

Liability Insurance
Here in Vermont at our beagle club our insurance for the officers and directors is about $1300.00. Rather expensive, but wouldn't want to go without it.
Our club pays approximately $850 per year in insurance. I think that includes the liability of 2 mil plus the club house and two barns. A couple of years ago it was a major issue as we were cancelled with no warning by our insurance co. Our property is at the end of a three mile road + we chose to gate off the part of the road that ends on the club's property. Due to one member's diligence (as he spent much time with agents and/or research) we were able to secure the above. With that came a no gun clause which actually proved an asset, as we were drawing more turkey/deer hunters than we were drawing Beaglers. It's a good topic and you have reminded me to revisit our policy.
