I am reluctant to comment since I was an advocate of the Fri-Wed format, but as it turned out. A work project came up and I was a unable to attend this fall anyway. Unfortunately, I think everyone realizes that is always a possibility.
I have only been to one-and a half conventions.
All the points about the challenges about a summer vacation do make sense.I do wonder if having a shorter ( maybe 3 day) summer convention would make sense?
As for hookups, electricity is nice.My Onan works now, but I never know if it will next week.
Especially For a three day convention I could easily get by without sewer hookups. Our coaches are much easier to get to a dump station than say a trailer where you have to hitch up, tow RV to dump, and then possibly back trailer into campsite again.
All the catered meals and ice cream socials, etc. Were very enjoyable at the week-long conventions I have attended. But I wonder if they could be scaled back for a shorter convention, possibly negating the need to ship so many crates cross-country?
Even though I have only been to a couple conventions, They have both been well-planned and well run. I have to complement the GMCMI leadership. Clearly they know how to run one of these. So please take my comments with a grain of salt.
