Insurance Questions and Answers
Insurance Questions and Answers (contd.)
No, The GCA’s policies have a common annual due date which is 30th April each year.
“Garden Clubs of Australia is not offering blanket Directors and Officers Insurance protection owing to the complex nature of the application and the limited number of clubs that have expressed interest”
We have however secured detail of suitable coverage through our brokers, Trident and the product information sheet show here explains the coverage provided.
There is also an information sheet at Trident forms here which is detailed and should be forwarded to Belinda Caunt whose contact details are on the Information sheet.
Should you prefer you can arrange similar insurance coverage through your own contacts.
Regards GCA Insurance Officer
No. In terms of the definition of The Insured on the GCA insurance policies, all Clubs wishing to be insured should be DIRECTLY affiliated to the GCA and not form part of a group that does not exercise active management or control, as provided for under the Corporations Law, over them.
Convention
GCA Convention
Every two years (in the odd years) the GCA holds a Convention at a different location in Australia.
The Convention runs for about 5 days and includes the GCA AGM for that year.
The Convention provides an opportunity for members of affiliated clubs and their friends and families to enjoy socialising and visiting many interesting attractions at the location.
Affiliated clubs can tender to organise a Convention and will receive complete support from the GCA.
