Last time I went to a committee meeting our tt sec was saying that CTT would no longer insure any courses that ran through 20mph zones
That has never been CTT policy. As I've said many times before, what insurance does and doesn't cover, and under what conditions, is widely misunderstood and misrepresented by people who really should know better. If anybody ever claims "because insurance", ask to see the policy documents.
What is known, because it's in the annual report, is that a single major personal injury claim can spook the underwriters so much that the premium increase can cause a material concern about the financial viability of the sport at present revenue levels.

I don’t know if this is true, but there is certainly a proliferation of new 20mph zones, including on several of our courses. The decision about whether a 20mph limit should be introduced seems to lie with the parish councils (source: my mum is a parish councillor and they recently caused a minor furore by implementing a 20mph limit for the picturesque expensive parts of the village while excluding the 70s developments who had apparently been requesting it… I think my mum is the only councillor who lives outside the zone).
Last time I went to a committee meeting our tt sec was saying that CTT would no longer insure any courses that ran through 20mph zones, but from the discussion on here it sounds like that is wrong (or has changed).
