                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[A recent email discussion has suggested capping the attendance at the annual National Rally. This is a new initiative and is worthy of discussion.

In previous years, 2016 was the first that we actually started a formal registration process, previously you registered with the campground and Redwood accepted whoever arrived.

What are your thoughts, both pros & cons of capping registrations and what should the number be.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Having attended 2014 and 2016, and having read the reports of 2013 & 2015, our rallies have evolved and expanded greatly.

For 2016, Jay did an excellent job, with virtually no direction or assistance.

The annual National Rally is our most visible activity and we need to ensure we do it right, giving members what they want.

This is an opportunity to provide Vaughan some feedback and suggestions for moving forward. Based on previous rallies attended, what worked well, what content did you enjoy and what content was not relevant. What would you like to see added in the future.

Example - In my opinion, a number of the presenters at 2016 were salesmen. Alpha roof was a good example. We all have one, we needed more information on maintenance/cleaning, etc.

Looking forward to some lively discussion.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Our National Rally has evolved significantly since 2012, with the scope and duration being increased. With Redwood organising the rally they were about 2 to 2.5 days, but for 2016 Jay added an extra day and had additional activities prior to the rally dates.

I will start a separate thread for brainstorming rally scope, but what should be the rally duration. Do we see the rally being an intense couple of days with vendors, presentations, factory tour, meet & greets, or should the rally be a more relaxed schedule with more opportunity for networking, a formal ladies program, Texas Professor course, local visits, etc.

The other option is a 2-stage rally with pre and post organised activities around the more traditional activities.

Looking forward to everyone's experiences at previous rallies and suggestions for the future, as Vaughan and his team starts planning for 2017.]]></content:encoded>
