Sharon and I hosted the GMCWS rally last October at Coos Bay, OR. We had folks that had been to GMCMI as well as those who had not. Scheduling is not just an issue of "who sets their dates first" as this discussion might imply. The venue has a lot to do with it as well. Our original preferred dates were a week earlier but the ball rooms at the venue were already booked for that weekend so we moved the dates out one week. As I recall there also was some movement in the dates for GMCMI so it turned out the time between the two events was ok, even thought the distance was daunting for one driving a GMC.
I, too, think it imperative for those planning the twice yearly events for these two groups to work together as best they can but be careful to jump to the conclusion that there is malice involved if the time between seems short. The "best" solution would be for one or the other club to index their dates by 30 to 90 days but that may not be practical given the weather east and west of the Rockies. West it is too cold anywhere north before April or May and too wet north anywhere after mid October. The west coast rallies cannot all be scheduled in So. Cal so that means dates after April/May or before mid October to include our Canadian and Northwest friends. I don't know, but would guess GMCMI has similar weather restrictions. If not, then indexing 30 to 90 days east of the Rockies might be a solution.
Net, net, lets try not to overlap but not throw rocks if close date scheduling does occur.

I am a member of both groups. It has always distressed me that The two
groups can not reach a workable solution to scheduling overlap. As a small
vendor, I always weigh the size of the group against the distance that I
have to travel to participate in rallies. I know that it is a problem for
all vendors, both large and small. I approached this issue when I was Tech.
V.P. of western states without any apparent success. Sure seems to me that
it could be accomplished.
