the issue of Rider Insurance was discussed. Ron H. read a part of the Ulysses Club Insurance summary as per below;

Public Liability
The General & Product Liability insurance policy for the Ulysses Club Inc. provides protection for the Club and its
members against claims for damages and defence costs, arising from damage to property and/or injury to person.

There are several exclusions and conditions which are relevant and of which you need to be aware when organising
Club activities:

Claims arising out of the use of vehicles (including motorcycles) are excluded. The individual owners need to com-
ply with statutory requirements and maintain compulsory third party insurance. They also need to consider
maintaining comprehensive or third party property damage insurances.

This information can be gotten from the NATCOM membership site.
