Hello Sue

You’ll find some important updates below regarding JMO Insurances.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit and explore our new website at open-morris.org

As well as insurance information and other OM documents, you can now see details of OM Sides by region and by dance style, and an update on the JMO National Day of Dance 2018, which Crosskey Clog have offered to host on behalf of Open Morris.

Kind regards

Norm Warren

OM Secretary

Personal Accident Insurance

The JMO offers access to an optional Personal Accident Insurance.

If you missed the January deadline for your whole Side, or if new members join your side before the 18th of March, you can insure them from the 26th of March at a reduced premium.

To do so, please –

go to open-morris.org and follow the About Open Morris | Insurance menu
download and complete the Personal Accident Application Form
send it with a cheque to cover the reduced premiums, currently £2.09 per person.

Michael Stimpson will need to receive the details and the cheque on or before 18 March.

Payment direct into the JMO Account is also available as an option. Please e-mail or telephone Michael Stimpson for the bank details.

Special Circumstances

There are several circumstances in which you should take advice to ensure you have appropriate insurance cover.

These include –

Dancing with torches, naked flame, fireworks, etc
Dance teaching in a school
Dancing on a visit to USA or Canada
Organising a Ceilidh with tickets being sold to members of the public

Please telephone Michael Stimpson if you are planning any of those activities.

Further Details and Queries

Please go to open-morris.org and follow the About Open Morris | Insurance menu. There you will find a link to our newly-updated page of Insurance FAQs.

If you have any further queries, please remember that Open Morris Officers are not allowed to advise members on any insurance matter because we are not qualified to do so.

Instead, members should make direct contact with Michael Stimpson, who is the JMO Insurance Officer.

He is available on 01923 770425 between 11.30 am and 7pm Monday to Thursday and 11.30 to 5pm Friday.
