yes they do, as I recall, we found better coverage at a better price separate from them.
If SLAS made it an official event then our insurance would cover it. Seems Jay is doing this outside of SLAS. Doesn't the AL offer some kind of coverage for member clubs?
I know that the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) used to offer blanket coverage for regional events if the local club was a dues-paying member of AMA.

Whoa, you're right. I had not thought of that. SLAS finally had to do that for fear of someone coming to a SLAS event and getting hurt and then suing.
Fortunately a policy is not that expensive. SLAS's is a few hundred dollars for a whole year so I'm guessing a policy for a weekend event would be some less.
