Hi Bob --
Dave Blum is our insurance coordinator. You should contact him directly to
get the straight story. The organization has to have it for any of its events.
And all this time I thought it was a slipping clutch and not a freeze...

I have a permanent brain freeze!
Also I didn't know the NASG had such a program. Does that mean a local NASG
group could utilize the national's insurance? How do the guys putting on the
Spring and Fall events handle those issues?

Even accidents in your own residence are covered by the NMRA insurance if
someone falls down and injures himself while visitng your layout. Cannot be too
careful these days.
Interestingly, the NASG also has liability insurance for group meetings. For
the "S"acto convention this past summer, our Saturday night banquet in the
roundhouse was required to have liability insurance by the State of California.
Good old Lee Johnson came to the rescue with coverage via the NASG which cost
us ZERO BUCKS. Thanks to Lee and the NASG, the dinner fee that night was
several dollars less than it would have been.
