It seems to me that we need to be either all in or all out.

As far as shooting with the Rugby Lads is, then you are under no obligation to GNAS as you are covered with the Club...Just my thought.......  ...  ...

One of the great archery myths comes from the statement that a
gnas club has to have 3 members. Many clubs much bigger than 3 members register 3 of their members and declare themselves a
gnas club. It seems a great way for "social archers" to get the benefits of a
gnas club without the expense. If we all did that,
gnas would be a lot worse off.
As you say, the
gnas return states quite clearly that all members of a
gnas club must be members of
gnas.
The grey area seems to be what defines a club.
If Thingy Bowmen have 10
gnas members and 10
NFAS members they clearly infringe the requirement for all members to be members of
GNAS.
However, Thingy Bowmen
GNAS have 10 members, and a seperate club, who shoot on the same grounds at the same time, called Thingy Bowmen
NFAS have 10 members. These are clearly (?) 2 seperate clubs, with the
GNAS club being a bona-fide
gnas club within the rules.
As I understand it, as a
gnas member, it is you who is insured against causing injury to others. The lack of insurance held by other parties may affect you claiming against their negligence, but shouldnt affect your insurance status. Imagine having your car insurance revoked just because your next door neighbour didnt pay his premiums.
i realise that little of this has much bearing on the original question, but I didnt have anything else to do
My book "
gnas insurance for dummies" will be in the shops soon
