Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms MSCC Insurance Policy Requirements

Dare I say,… a load of cobblers, that is as clear as mud to most people!
Sadly, although individual centres are doing a great job in promoting Morgan camaraderie, I think the MSCC itself has lost its way and have forgotten that it should be representing members’ interests, without whom it would not exist anyway. However, a strong commercial drive seems to have taken over.
My reason for this stems from the new “unique” Peter James car insurance which the MSCC has signed up to for 3 years on the promise of a handsome return by promoting it as THE approved insurance and preventing the competition from advertising in Miscellany. All very well, but EVERYONE in my locality who have asked for a quote have had offers of 50% to 100% greater than their usual insurer. So it looks pretty obvious how the MSCC will collect its bounty.
My concern is that all the other Morgan specialist insurers may well see this as an opportunity to raise their rates towards that of the morgan “ approved” insurer.
So, if that happens, everyone suffers and MSCC would have done a serious dis-service to its members.
For that reason, regretfully, I am not renewing membership this year.

So all previous 'approved' insurers have been binned ? and are not allowed to advertise in Miscellany ?

I find this very poor and NOT in MSCC members / owners interests, IIRC several Co's used to help sponsor the costs of annual Mogs, Concours & Gymkhana's

I'm really struggling to see what the problem is? It appears pretty straightforward?

If you regularly take a partner or family member to a MSCC event, then take out joint membership (at no extra cost) so they are named, and then they are fully covered by MSCC event insurance and can also take advantage of other member benefits.

If you don't, then it doesn't effect you at all.

[quote=TBM]My question refers to the former. What is covered? Me falling down the steps at a pub when attending a Nogin? Being injured when visiting a venue (museum, etc) when organised by a MSCC centre? Am I covered should I not be able to attend MogFest due to illness but having bought the tickets? .

This thread is confusing the request by MSCC to take out joint membership regarding MSCC Insurance Policy Requirements 4.7.24
"A single MSCC membership gives access to the named person to all aspects of
Club/Centre activities including All Member insurance cover." and the move by MSCC to promote a single car insurance provider.

As for the promotion of Peter James Insurance that is a different subject.

Got my quote today on the new scheme worked out £350 more a year not sure how they worked it out I tried telling g them about my no claims but they didn't care. Not sure who negotiated this but I find the outcome dreadfully disappointing

Crickey that's shocking, is it an Aeromax you have.

We pay 350 for my 1999 plus 8 full NCB self and wife plus legal cover and 5,000 miles pa. Non MSCC member though and I'm with the group that Headley handed us over to and we have the three cars with them, I'd rather have good cover than the cheapest though so maybe I'm not a good example.
