CMRA Clubroom Insurance Scheme

The CMRA Clubroom Insurance Scheme is available to all members of the Chiltern Model Railway Association and is brokered by Magnet Insurance Services Ltd. Association Members will benefit from a 10% discount off the standard premiums. The policies are also available for non-members but the 10% discount doesn't apply. The CMRA Clubroom Insurance Scheme provides cover for both liability and material Loss, to meet most needs of those Clubs or Societies operating from a Clubroom.


Details of Cover Provided

1) Public Liability Cover (Standard Cover)


This section covers all sums (up to the limit of indemnity) which the Insured shall become legally liable to pay as legal costs and damages in respect of:


  • Accidental death or bodily injury caused to any person

  • Accidental loss or damage to property caused in connection with the insured Clubrooms activities

The standard Limit of Indemnity is £2,000,000 in respect of any one incident (£5,000,000 is available upon request). Public Liability insurance covers all members of the Club and specifically includes:


  • member to member liability
