Normally, something like this is either covered by your "BA" (the "familiale") or -in case of a car or scooter- the particular assurance of the car / scooter / motto / ... So what you do is write your assurance-company (not your agent, the company itself!!!) explaining the situation "I have this kind of assurance-policy. I have a hobby called "openstreetmap" and I want to take part if this kind of event where ... (etc. etc.) Is this covered by my assurnce-contract?". And then wait for the reply of them assurance-company. If they say "say", and concider if there are any problems afterwards when something happens; that you have an official letter of your assurance-company indicating they acknowledges this is an event that is covered your assurence-contract. Also, what the "openstreetmap Belgium vzw" can do is to provide a "standard-letter" for people who want to take part in a mapping-event which they can sent to their assurance company! Just my (actually this guy's :-) ) 2 eurocent of thoughts. Cheerio! Kr. Bonne. -- jabber/gtalk: krist...@krbonne.net
