I have to agree with Steve on this one. With so many people in what amounts to
half a wreck of a wooden building that could go up like a tinderbox, all an
insurance company would see in their eyes are a crapton of potential lawsuits
if somehow the building were to become compromised.

Bob,
They are trying to insure a 100 year old building in need of $250,000+ in
repairs to bring it up to standards. Put 500+ people in it and what do you
have? A situation that any insurance company would find a way to get out of as
quickly as possible.

It's not only the destination but the path you take and the friends you make
along the way

I suspect somone told the insurance company that we were planning on a big

out there willing to sell policies. I get offers just about every day in the
mail.

MOGA CENTRAL location unfortunately needs to be moved to an alternate
location due to unforeseen circumstances. On Thursday, March 7, 2013,
the MOGA directors were informed by the City of Shelbyville that the
Chautauqua building would no longer be available for the event due to
the cancellation of the insurance policy covering the building. The
insurance cancellation was effectively immediately. MOGA CENTRAL will
now be located within the Shelbyville High School gymnasium, which is
located 8/10 of a mile to the west (4284 ft as the crow flies). The MOGA
Directors would like to personally thank Tad Mayhall of Shelbyville
Works!, the City of Shelbyville and most importantly the Shelbyville
School District for working with the MOGA directors to ensure the event
has the resources available to meet the needs of the participants.
Groundspeak will be updating the coordinates on Friday, March 8th. The MOGA
directors are also working with our local reviewer to update
other affected events. More announcements will be made as we continue to work
through all of the logistics of moving the event and we thank you
for your patience and understanding.
