Oh really, it worked for me this week lol.
What do they do about renewals? Just turn up to a show, tell them you have been on their register for several years, ask them about loyalty points, then tell them how wonderful they are....That should get 100 quid knocked off the next registration fee?
I'm coming up for my 9th year with NAPIT. No problems, good assessors, magazine is full of --- bits the combined insurance is about as good as it gets where you're covered for PL, PI, Tools and a couple of other things, which don't spring to mind at the moment, at about half the price of the PI alone.
I've never had a problem with getting work, although I'm not sure how much of that is purely due to NAPIT.
